Both attacks are being treated as "a potential hate crimes", said Essex Police Commissioner Roger Hirst.
The Polish government said it was "concerned about the safety of Poles".

Deborah Smith began meeting the woman after she left a home and they would go for coffee and bikes rides, a Care Council for Wales hearing was told.
Police were called to the woman's home after neighbours were "concerned something untoward was going on".
No crime had been committed but police alerted Cardiff council about Ms Smith.
Jo Finch, investigating officer for the council, interviewed Ms Smith and found "she showed no remorse or insight into her actions".
When Ms Smith was asked to describe the relationship she said: "As an advocate and a friend."
She said in interview: "When this incident happened we were friends. I'm not prepared to talk about my personal life."
It was told Person A suffered from a borderline personality disorder and would be considered a vulnerable adult as she was in receipt of care services.
Ms Smith was found to have caused harm to Person A, who wrote a letter of support saying she felt "distressed and overwhelmed with guilt" after finding Ms Smith was suspended in November 2014.
Ms Smith did not attend fitness to practice hearing at Cardiff's South Gate House.

Jayawardene will join England's tour to the United Arab Emirates for the Test series against Pakistan next month.
Bell, 33, described the appointment as "brilliant" and said he would "badger" the newly retired batsman for advice.
"The one thing we need to do is get better on the subcontinent, and he's one of the best ever," he said.
Jayawardene, 38, scored 11,814 runs in 149 Tests and 12,650 runs in 448 one-day internationals.
"To have his input leading into the series, and all the preparation, is going to be huge for us," said Bell. "I'm really looking forward to that.
"He was certainly hard to get out in those conditions, so I'll be picking his brain all the way through if I can, probably badgering him a bit too much, but trying to get everything I can out of him to make my game better."
England lost 3-0 to Pakistan in the UAE in 2012, but Bell believes they are better equipped this time - and says either Alex Hales or Moeen Ali could open the batting.
"Experience tells me in the UAE you have to be flexible, you have to go for a different style of cricket," he said.
"We have to look for another alternative when we go to the subcontinent. We potentially might be opening with a spinner, so to have the option of having two or even three spinners is nice.
"If Mo does get an opportunity to open the batting then it gives us another slot for us to get another bowler in, which is interesting. It's a squad with a lot of possibilities."
Bell, who expressed uncertainty about his future with England after the recent Ashes series win, also reiterated he is determined to continue on to the tour of Australia in 2017-18, when he will be 35.
"It was right for me to reflect on a few things," he said.
"You can't go on tours half-hearted, and you can't go on tours not having done the work and prepared to go through some real tough times.
"There's no doubt, having had some time to think about it, that I want to be on that plane to Australia."
The Scot, 26, converted his fourth championship point in a dramatic final game to win 6-4 7-5 6-4 and claim his second major title.
In an atmosphere reminiscent of his Olympic final win last summer, Murray was willed on by the majority of the 15,000 spectators on Centre Court, thousands watching on the nearby big screen and millions more around the country.
The final game was a battle in itself, with Murray seeing three match points slip by from 40-0 and fending off three Djokovic break points with some fearless hitting, before the Serb netted a backhand to end the contest.
After a gruelling three hours 10 minutes in searing temperatures, Murray had finally followed in the footsteps of Fred Perry's 1936 win at the All England Club.
Perry used to leap over the net in celebration, but Britain's new champion roared in delight before sinking to his knees on the turf.
Murray, who collected a first prize of £1.6m, then headed into the stands to celebrate with his family and support team, moments later parading the trophy around Centre Court.
He could barely believe he had won, saying: "It feels slightly different to last year. Last year was one of the toughest moments of my career, so to manage to win the tournament today...
"It was an unbelievably tough match, so many long games."
And he later gathered his thoughts in a BBC TV interview, telling Sue Barker: "It was tough speaking after the match. There are a lot of people who have worked with me over the last 10 or 15 years or so.
"I was privileged enough to go into the locker room straight after the match and Andy was basically in a state of shock. I just gave him a big hug when I got in there and said 'I really don't know how you did that' and he said 'nor do I'."

"I didn't know what to do with myself. The noise levels during the whole match were just incredible."
The Dunblane native becomes Scotland's first Wimbledon singles champion since Harold Mahony in 1896, and Britain's first since Virginia Wade in 1977.
Murray had been on top from the outset against an unusually erratic Djokovic, finally converting his seventh break point after three dramatic games that took 20 minutes.
The home supporters were brought down to earth immediately when Djokovic recovered the break to love, but the Serb was leaking errors and his 13th in just seven games saw Murray move clear again at 4-3.
A tense game followed after Murray, serving into the sun, opened with two double faults, but he fought his way out of three break points and served out the set to love.
An hour gone, and all was going to plan for the British number one, but Djokovic began to find his range in the early stages of the second set.
The top seed got the better of two rallies approaching 30 strokes as he broke on his way to a 4-1 lead, and looked on course to level at 15-30 in the following game, but Murray would not give it up.
Having struggled to defend his own second serve, Murray now turned the tables and put the pressure on Djokovic, and the Serb succumbed with a double fault to give up his advantage in game seven.
Murray was the man in command once again and when he cracked a 128mph ace and a nerveless smash to save two break points for 4-4, the crowd sensed a real opportunity developing.
Djokovic was vulnerable and he showed it with a tirade at the umpire over a line call when serving at 5-5, but he had run out of Hawk-Eye challenges and moments later netted a forehand to give Murray a priceless opportunity.
Once again, Murray found his best serving form when he needed it most, closing out the set to love with an ace to bring the Centre Court crowd to its feet.
The sense of hope around the stadium became something closer to disbelief when Murray raced in to pick up a drop shot and hammer a forehand on his way to a break at the start of the third, and he threatened to run away with it with seven out of eight games.
Back Djokovic came, throwing in drop shots to get the Briton on the run and reeling off four straight games on his way to a 4-2 lead, but Murray was not to be denied.
He wrestled back the initiative to level at 4-4 and surged on, hammering away at the Djokovic forehand and drawing yet another error to move 5-4 clear.
All that was left was to serve for the title, and it was never likely to be straightforward, but after 12 tortuous minutes Murray sent over a forehand that Djokovic could only put in the net.
"I have played in a lot of Slam finals, all against Roger or Novak," said Murray. "Roger is probably the greatest player ever, Novak is one of the mentally strongest ever. I never had experience on my side.
"To beat him was so tough; it was such a tough match."
Ken Matheson, 71, says he suffered a nervous breakdown and "seriously contemplated suicide".
The claims are made in his statement, which the BBC has obtained, to the UK Sport independent review into the culture at British Cycling.
The review came after separate allegations of bullying and sexism at British Cycling.
Performance director Shane Sutton resigned in April after being accused of making sexist and derogatory comments to cyclists - though he was later cleared of all but one of the claims against him.
A British Cycling spokesman said evidence for the independent review into the culture of its World Class Programme had been "sought and welcomed from a wide range of sources", but added it would be "inappropriate to comment" until the full review is published.
Matheson worked for British Cycling from January 1999 to December 2002, coaching Team GB's men's road squad and managing the road programme, the women's endurance programme and the Paralympic team.
He says after he "fell from favour" with senior staff, he was subjected to "undermining, intimidating and threatening" behaviour, which he described as a "frightening experience".
He describes the culture within British Cycling as "macho, brutal and divisive" with fear used as "a powerful management tool".
Although he says he signed a confidentiality agreement on leaving, he tweeted on Wednesday: "I'm talking now - and sod the gagging clause!"
Matheson says he was "bullied" into leaving British Cycling, and his solicitor advised him not to accept the terms he was offered.
Among the other allegations made by Matheson are:
Matheson's account of events is highly critical of Sir Dave Brailsford, who joined British Cycling in 1997 and worked under Keen before succeeding him in 2003.
Matheson says during his time at the organisation it turned into a dictatorship with a "management style based on fear and favour".
Earlier this week, Brailsford, 52, appeared in front of a culture, media and sport select committee holding an inquiry into tackling doping in sport.
During Brailsford's time at British Cycling, it delivered its biggest medal haul since 1908 - with four at the 2004 Olympics. Great Britain topped the medal table at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Games.
Matheson's statement will form part of UK Sport's independent review into the culture within British Cycling, which stopped accepting evidence on 30 November and is expected to publish in January.
Cox, who took T38 100m athletics bronze on Friday, won the C4-5 time trial as Dame Sarah Storey finished fourth.
Her success came shortly after GB's Hannah Cockroft retained her T34 100m title and 15-year-old team-mate Kare Adenegan took silver.
Britain have won 35 medals in Rio, including 15 golds.
Cox told Channel 4: "I can't believe it. I'm over the moon. I have only been doing it a year and a half and being on top of the world is amazing."
Earlier, Andy Lewis won GB's first gold of the day with victory in the PT2 Para-triathlon.
Sabrina Fortune claimed women's F20 shot put bronze, while swimmer Alice Tai took bronze in the women's S10 100m backstroke.
Toby Gold won silver and compatriot Andy Small bronze in the men's T33 100m as Britain secured eight medals on the third day.
Isabel Barr was the last Briton to win a Paralympic medal in two sports at the same event with medals in the shooting and athletics at Seoul 1988.
Cox was only 16 months old when Storey won her first Paralympic medal at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, where she competed as a swimmer.
Cox had a stroke aged 23, which led to her being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Storey, a 12-time gold medallist who won the C4-5 time trial at London 2012, completed the 500m race in 37.068 seconds to take the lead.
However, Cox triumphed in 34.598 seconds, with China's Zhou Jufang taking silver in 36.004 and compatriot Ruan Jianping bronze in 36.557.
Cox said: "I have worked so hard, my legs were tired and I was mentally exhausted from yesterday."
Storey said: "I'm a pursuiter - it should be a sprinter winning it.
"Fourth is the worst place to be, but even if I'd gone as quick as I did in London I'd still have been fourth."
BBC Sport's Elizabeth Hudson in Rio
"This was always the race which would be the toughest part of Dame Sarah Storey's Rio programme.
"Most of her training is focused on road racing so going from that to the minimum distance was always going to be a challenge.
"Kadeena Cox was favourite for gold and she delivered in style with a new world record to follow her athletics bronze on Friday night."
Adenegan, 15, is the youngest athlete in the Great Britain team and is the only racer to have beaten Cockroft during her four-year dominance in the T34 category.
The pair were almost level for the first 40m on Saturday, before Cockroft powered through to finish in 17.42 seconds, a Paralympic record.
Adenegan, who took up the sport after watching the London Paralympics, finished in a personal best 18.29 seconds.
"The 100m is my favourite event, my strongest. I'm a little upset with the time," Cockroft told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I was going for the world record all season. I was a tenth of a second away from it. But I came for the gold, and I've got the gold."
Fortune, 19, earlier threw a career-best 12.94m to take bronze in the women's F20 shot put.
"I came here for a personal best - I didn't think I'd get a medal as well," she said.
Richard Whitehead, 40, set a Paralympic record of 23.07 seconds to qualify for Sunday's T42 200m final.
Graeme Ballard was fifth in the T36 100m final, with Mohamad Ridzuan Mohamad Puzi of Malaysia winning gold in 12.07 seconds, after Ukrainian favourite Roman Palvyk was disqualified for a false start.
Earlier, Lewis secured PT2 gold as triathlon made its Paralympics debut.
The 33-year-old, who had his right leg amputated aged 22, finished in one hour 11 minutes 49 seconds.
"It brings tears to my eyes that I'll be able to tell my kids that I won this gold medal," said Lewis. "Perhaps I'll have my first beer in two years now."
In the PT4 event, George Peasgood finished seventh and Great Britain team-mate David Hill 10th.
In the pool, Ellie Robinson - the S6 50m butterfly gold medallist - finished fourth and four-time Paralympic champion Ellie Simmonds sixth in the S6 50m freestyle, won by Ukrainian Yelyzaveta Mereshko.
Both Britons have restricted growth and it was Simmonds' performances at London 2012 that encouraged Robinson, now 15, to begin competing.
Tai took bronze in the women's S10 100m backstroke, four years after she was selected as a torchbearer at the London Games.
Tai, who was born with a club foot, finished in one minute 9.39 seconds as New Zealand's Sophie Pascoe won gold.
Paralympic veteran Sascha Kindred was sixth in the men's S5 50m freestyle and Andrew Mullen finished fourth in the men's S5 50m butterfly.
Just 24 hours after India won their first Paralympic gold medal since 2004, local government officials celebrated the achievement by handing out cash prizes.
Men's T42 high jumpers Mariyappan Thangavelu and Varun Singh Bhati won gold and bronze respectively and received approximately £225,000 from the Tamil Nadu government.
India, the world's second most populous nation, has the worst Olympic record in terms of medals per head and they won just one silver and one bronze in Brazil.
Therefore, the achievements of Thangavelu and Bhati have been widely celebrated.
Elsewhere, Slovakia's Darko Duric entertained the crowd in the aquatics centre after he forgot to take the headphones off the top of his cap before his 50m butterfly S5 race.
Also in the pool, Ukrainian Maksym Krypak broke the world record in the men's S10 100m backstroke with a time of 57.24 seconds.

Three men - Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, from Rotherham, and Chris Huxtable, 34, from Swansea - have been missing since 23 February.
The body found on Wednesday has not been identified, but contractors have paused work so specialists can enter the site to recover the remains.
Thames Valley Police said the families of the three men have been informed.
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton, Teesside, was previously recovered from the site.
The building was due for demolition when it partially collapsed. The remaining section was brought down using explosives last month.
Searches were halted in May when contractors reached a 50m (164ft) exclusion zone, beyond which it was considered too dangerous to continue.
The families of the three missing men had opposed plans to use explosives for the demolition.

But few of those tales have been more remarkable than that of Brighton & Hove Albion, whose promotion to the top flight was confirmed with victory over Wigan on Monday.
BBC Sport speaks to pundits, players and manager Chris Hughton about the Premier League newcomers who, just 20 years ago, were battling to stay in the Football League.
It took until the very last day of the 1996-97 season before Brighton could breathe easy, as a 1-1 draw with Hereford secured their league status.
Despite the result, Brighton's former owners went ahead with the sale of their old Goldstone Ground, leaving the club to share Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium for two seasons.
The club then moved back to Brighton, playing at the Withdean Stadium - a site not originally built for football - before finally switching to their current Amex Stadium home in 2011 under the ownership of Tony Bloom.
"What happened on Monday is just the sensational fulfilment of so many people's dreams," said BBC pundit Mark Clemmit.
"The one name I keep thinking about is Dick Knight, who sort of galvanised everybody in 1997, because don't forget not only did they nearly go out of the league, but they lost their stadium then as well.
"The owners at the time kind of pulled it from under the club, and have never ever been forgiven by the supporters.
"It was Dick Knight who picked it up by the bootstraps, plus several others that accompanied him - but he was the majority shareholder."
Brighton had looked destined to complete their journey from bottom to top 12 months ago, but a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough on the final day of the regular season meant they missed out on goal difference.
Further disappointment was to follow, as their hopes of reaching the Premier League were dashed with a 3-1 aggregate loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the play-off semi-finals.
It was not an unfamiliar feeling for Seagulls fans, who had suffered defeat at the same stage in both 2013 and 2014.
"I'm incredibly proud of the way they've bounced back - but there are no surprises," Hughton, 58, told BBC Sussex. "We've got a group of lads that are capable of doing it, but being capable of doing it and doing it are two different things.
"They've been good all season. They've bounced back, they've shown a really good determination and a real desire to want to win as many games as possible."
Brighton captain Bruno added: "It's been five years now for me and it's been hard because we were really close to getting promoted for three seasons.
"Last season was tough for us and we were really close - but this season we've been outstanding."
Hughton is no stranger to the Premier League, having guided Newcastle to Championship promotion in 2010, then led Norwich to an 11th-place finish in the top flight in the 2012-13 season.
The former Republic of Ireland defender has turned Brighton into one of the defensively strongest sides in the Championship since taking over in December 2014, keeping 47 clean sheets in 111 league games in charge.
"When you look at where Chris has been, he's done really well everywhere he's gone," said former Republic team-mate pundit Mark Lawrenson, now a BBC pundit.
"Because he's quiet, people sort of assume that he's a nice bloke and that people can ride roughshod over him - but you can't.
"There's a real steely determination in there and I think as he's gone from job to job he's embraced the way football's changed."
Hughton's success comes despite only taking his first managerial role in 2009, when he replaced Alan Shearer as Newcastle boss.
"I think a lot of people, for a long time, had him marked down as an assistant or a coach," added Clemmit.
"He's already won one title with Newcastle United, he's got another team promoted, and then in his other two full seasons in the Championship he took Birmingham to the play-offs and he took Brighton to the play-offs.
"Even during the celebrations yesterday, you could see he was containing it. He was modest enough not to get involved in the players' celebrations, one eye on getting the title over the line.
"There'd be some justice as well in that, wouldn't there? Norwich, one of the teams that dismissed him, that didn't see the merits of letting him have a proper long-term go, is where he could secure the title on Friday."
The bond Hughton has helped to create at Brighton this year has been tested by adversity off the field.
In November, French winger Anthony Knockaert's father died, prompting at least 10 of his team-mates and Hughton to travel to France to offer support at the funeral.
The 25-year-old has responded in sterling fashion on the field, contributing 15 goals on his way to being crowned Championship Player of the Year.
"It has been the best thing I have seen in football, to come all the way from England to the funeral," he said in December.
"It means a lot for me and my family and I will never forget it."
Brighton have also dealt with the absence of defender Connor Goldson, who had heart surgery after routine cardiac screening discovered a defect in December.
"Obviously there have been things the whole season that have brought us even closer together, but we're a close group anyway no matter what happens," the 24-year-old told BBC Sussex.
"That's why we're always here for each other. Obviously things happen in life, and what happened with Anthony's dad was a sad moment for him.
"With me this year, obviously I wasn't needed, but we all pulled together, we're all a team.
"We're all a team of friends and that's what gets us to where we are."
While securing the Championship title with victory at Carrow Road on Friday is the immediate aim, Hughton and Bloom can now start preparing for life in the top tier.
While some teams might look to splash the cash in pursuit of Premier League survival, Hughton appears to favour a more cautious approach.
"The only way to do it is to recruit sensibly, to not put the club in a position where you're going well above your means," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"There is a huge gap between what you need to pay for players in the Championship and the fees that are demanded for Premier League players.
"What we've got to do is to try to make sure that we get that balance right."
Now, only four months from starting their Premier League campaign, 20 years on from being on the brink of disaster, where do the club go from here?
"The great thing for them is that because of the new training ground, and because of the actual ground, they are ready and set up for the Premier League," said Lawrenson, a former Brighton player.
"So if they can just survive, in inverted commas, that first season in the Premier League, I do think they're a club that will push on from there."
The former Liberal Democrats president said he did not have the energy to "give any head space" to what happens after the general election.
Mr Farron was criticised by party grandee Lord Ashdown after saying the Lib Dems had been "tarnished" by entering a coalition with the Tories.
But Mr Farron said he was focused "entirely" on the election.
At the Lib Dem conference last month, Mr Farron - seen by some as a frontrunner to succeed Nick Clegg - was quoted in the Mail on Sunday suggesting the party's brand would be tainted for a generation by governing with the Conservatives.
That prompted Lord Ashdown to say Mr Farron lacked judgement and needed to show "a little more patience".
But Mr Farron told Sky News' Murnaghan programme: "My focus is entirely on making sure myself and my colleagues up and down the country win as many seats as possible because that's what matters for Britain."
Asked if he would stand to replace Mr Clegg if he was no longer leader, Mr Farron replied: "The election we're facing in 32 days' time is the biggest one for this country for many years - the hardest and toughest one for the Liberal Democrats in a generation.
"If I give any head space whatsoever to what happens afterwards then that is foolish and disloyal and I haven't got the energy for that."
Mr Clegg heaped praise on Mr Farron last week as he distanced himself from "bickering" by other senior colleagues and urged an end to the criticisms.

She shows me the medal he'd been awarded for military service in the North Caucasus; some of his army photos, too, including a portrait on a military pendant.
"This is the image we're going to use on his gravestone," Oksana explains.
Three weeks before Konstantin Kuzmin was killed, he was sitting in this yard enjoying a summer holiday.
"He got a telephone call. He said it was from the commander of his army unit, who told him there was going to be an inspection and that everyone had to be back on base," Oksana recalls.
"He left on 23 July. Three days later my brother called to say he was on the move again. It sounded as if he was frightened of something. 'I'm off to the south west! South-west Ukraine!' he said. I thought, perhaps, he meant the border area ... " she added.
"On 8 August we spoke again on the phone. But he was in a rush. He said to our parents 'Mama, Papa, I love you. Hi to everyone! Kiss my daughter for me…' Then, when he went to the border, or wherever it was he went, he told us not to call him. He would call us."
Konstantin was a "kontraktnik", a professional soldier.
Where and how he was killed remains a mystery.
Oksana continued: "On 17 August the military commissar came to my parents and told them my brother had been killed."
"He said a shell fired from Ukrainian territory had landed on Konstantin's vehicle. That's all we knew, until the coffin arrived. The official said my brother had been killed in military exercises on the border with Ukraine," she said.
"Do you believe the words you are telling me?" Oksana asked the official.
"No," he replied.
"So why are you saying this?" Oksana inquired.
"They tell us that there is no war, that our soldiers are not involved," says Oksana now. "So who is responsible for his death? It is the only question which tortures me."
Russia's official position remains unchanged: there are no - and there never were any - Russian troops in eastern Ukraine.
Conclusion: there was no Russian invasion, no Russian incursion, no Kremlin-sponsored war.
It is a position that paints Russia as innocent bystander in the conflict.
Moscow does now concede that some Russian soldiers have taken up arms across the border, maintaining these individuals have taken time off from the army and are fighting in their holidays.
Yet in recent weeks, there have been persistent reports of Russian servicemen being sent to fight in Ukraine; reports, too, of soldiers' funerals across Russia.
It is a hugely sensitive subject.
That may explain what happened to our news team after the interview with Oksana.
As we were leaving her village we were stopped by traffic police.
Our car boot was checked, as were our identities.
We drove on to Astrakhan, 40 miles away, for lunch.
When we left the cafe and approached our vehicle, we were confronted and attacked by at least three aggressive individuals.
Our cameraman was knocked to the ground and beaten.
The attackers grabbed the BBC camera, smashed it on the road and took it away in their getaway car.
We spent more than four hours at the police station being questioned by investigators.
On the way to the airport we discovered that, while we had been at the police station, some of the recording equipment in the car had been tampered with.
The hard drive of our main computer and several memory cards had been wiped clean.
Fortunately we had uploaded the interview to London earlier in the day.
But why would anyone set out to destroy our material and to silence the sister of a Russian soldier?
Oksana is no terrorist, no political opponent of the Russian government.
All she wants to know is the truth about Konstantin's death - where exactly he died and how - and ensure that the army does not turn its back on her dead brother.
"He loved Russia, he was so patriotic," Oksana tells me.
"I just don't understand how they can forget a soldier like him. He was killed, he was buried and he was forgotten."
Hours after the last chord sounded at Glastonbury the great clean-up has begun.
The festival was brought to a close by Ed Sheeran on the Pyramid Stage, just six years after his debut at one of the festival's smallest venues.
He attracted a much younger audience than Friday and Saturday's headliners, Radiohead and Foo Fighters.
There is no Glastonbury in 2018, meaning there are 731 days until Worthy Farm opens its gates again.
The 6-1 shot held off the challenge of Cracksman, favourite Wings of Eagles and Waldgeist to give jockey Seamie Heffernan a third Irish Derby victory.
Capri, who was sixth in the Epsom Derby in June, was one of five horses trained by O'Brien among the nine-strong field.
Wings of Eagles, ridden by Ryan Moore, could not repeat the Derby double achieved last year by Harzand.
The Anvil set the pace for the early part of Saturday's race under Ana O'Brien but Capri stayed well and produced a strong finish.
The grey Galileo colt won by a neck in a thrilling finish.
John Gosden's Cracksman, the only British-trained representative in the line-up, was close behind, with French Derby runner-up Waldgeist fourth.
BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
The rain-softened going at the Curragh - officially good to yielding - was maybe the key to this thoroughly gutsy victory by Capri.
At Epsom, when sixth, the colt, another Classic-winning son of Coolmore's super-stallion Galileo, hung slightly off a true line, perhaps 'feeling' the firmer conditions that day.
Here, after being pushed into the lead with over a quarter-mile to go, the second and third - who'd been in front of him at Epsom - both had a crack at him, but the winner was simply not for passing, giving Aidan O'Brien a 12th win, 20 years after the first.

Elsewhere, jockey Josephine Gordon celebrated a breakthrough first success at flat racing's Group-race level when successful on 8-1 shot Koropick in the Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle.
Gordon delivered the horse, trained by Hugo Palmer, in the very closing stages to continue her good run since graduating from champion apprentice to fully fledged rider.
The 57-year-old Madasgascar FA chief won 34 votes to Hayatou's 20 to end the Cameroonian's 29-year reign.
BBC Sport rounds up the reaction to the stunning result.
"Africa has made a decision, we are moving forward with football and we have chosen change over the last leadership.
"Ahmad is crying for all of us. I have been though struggle - I have been suspended. Today I am very proud of the effort and I want to thank all of my colleagues for making this possible.
"We have proved to the world that we are ready for the change that is blowing in football across the world.
"We believed, we are human, we have seen changes in Europe and in Fifa... everywhere in football in the last 18 months there have been changes. We could not allow ourselves to be left behind. We want to be on that train of change.
"Africa has made an emphatic position that we are going for change and a candidate that has given us a plan. We have chosen a plan over no plan.
"Everything is going to change. Football is going to be governed by the association presidents, we are the real power - power will be restored to the football associations and we will make decisions, Fifa-style, Gianni-style.
"Gianni (Infantino) is the boss of football (Fifa), he has changed the way football is run and we will follow that. We will make sure we consult (African football) presidents because they make decisions for their countries."
"I'm happy, elated, it is great. This is the change we were talking about, it is good for African football.
"I want people to understand that this was not a campaign against personalities, this was about changing the face and image of the African continent through football - and changing African football for the better.
"I always felt that Ahmad would get the ticket. Celebrations will happen but then he needs to start working, there is a lot to be done but we are all here to support him.
"I'm sure Hayatou will be on hand to give advice. He is an elder and we Africans depend on our elders for advice and support. I'm hoping we will have him on board as an adviser.
"I think there will be more transparency in Caf, I think there will be more changes to women's football and youth football as well."
"The people have spoken and the people have voted in massive numbers. I have to respect their choice.
"I think the future will be much better. Ahmad is younger, and has a vision. We heard him speaking about what he is going to do going forward. It was a statement full of promises.
"It was a similar speech to that of Fifa boss Infantino. I respect both the speeches. I think Ahmad's speech changed the mood of the house.
"I think Hayatou should have addressed the congress and said 'people, look I need your support - I might have wronged you here and there but please forgive me'.
"People must confess when the need arises
"But Hayatou did a lot for football and the dues he deserves must be given to him."
"The outcome the least expected but some of us saw it coming and I am very pleased with it.
"We now have a new president coming from Cosafa (Council of Southern Africa Football Associations) and it's now time to see new things.
"There were a lot of twists and turns and a lot of tension - you couldn't trust anybody in the journey. But by the close of business yesterday it was clear who the winner was going to be.
"The future should be brighter. The member associations will now have a chance to enjoy the wealth that Caf has had all these years.
"The member associations have been marginalised, we have been suffering a lot, paying a lot of expenses for our national teams and exerting unnecessary pressure on our governments.
"Caf has not done anything to empower the member associations let alone develop football, the focus has only been on Caf competitions.
"It is now time to be inclusive and I see a better future for Africa."
The 19-year-old's total score of 485.55 saw him finish behind Russia's Viktor Minibaev, who won silver with 493.25, and Frenchman Benjamin Auffret, who secured gold with 511.75.
Lee's compatriot Matthew Dixon finished sixth with 430.80,
Britain finished third in the medal table, behind hosts Ukraine and Russia.
Louis Toulson, 17, won individual 10m gold, before taking her second with Lee in the mixed 10m synchronised, while Ruby Bower and Phoebe Banks won gold in the women's 10m synchronised.
Noah Williams and Dixon took bronze in the men's 10m synchronised, while Freddie Woodward and James Heatly also won bronze in the men's 3m synchronised.
The Kathimerini newspaper also said that authorities would impose a ban on cashing cheques, as the government prepares to announce capital controls on the banking sector.
The central bank said the report was only based on draft proposals.
Earlier on Wednesday, the boss of the Bank of Cyprus was sacked.
Cyprus is introducing capital controls as it seeks to raise 5.8bn euros ($7.4bn; £4.9bn) to qualify for a 10bn-euro bailout from the European Union, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the so-called troika.
Depositors in Cypriot banks with more than 100,000 euros could see 40% of their funds converted into bank shares, while those with less than 100,000 euros will not lose any funds - but face limits on what funds they can access.
The exact details of the capital controls are expected to be finalised later on Wednesday.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Cypriot Finance Minster Mr Sarris said that the controls would be reviewed after seven days, and that some banks could be exempted altogether.
According to the newspaper report Cypriots will be prohibited from taking more than 3,000 euros in cash abroad on each trip, and limited to spending 5,000 euros on their credit or debit card.
Concern about the ongoing situation in Cypriot has continued to weigh on the Athens stock market, with Greek shares ending down 4% on Wednesday.
Bank of Cyprus chief executive Yiannis Kypri confirmed he had been removed as head of the bank, which is the country's largest commercial lender.
Reuters reported that Mr Kypri had issued a statement about his removal, which said: "The reason I was given was that, based on the resolution decree recently passed by parliament and upon demands of the troika, an administrator had been appointed at the Bank.
"Until now I have not received a formal letter from the governor of the Central Bank on the matter."
A European Commission spokesman denied that the troika had demanded Mr Kypri's removal.
"These reports are not correct and decisions like this would any case be the responsibility of the Bank of Cyprus," a Commission spokesman said.
An administrator has been appointed to Bank of Cyprus to restructure the bank. It is being merged with the "good" parts of the failed Laiki Bank, which will be closed down.
Bank of Cyprus chairman Andreas Artemis handed in his resignation on Tuesday, along with four other directors, but the bank's board rejected the resignations.
Now Panicos Demetriades, the central bank governor, has sacked the entire board, according to the Cyprus News Agency.
Mr Demetriades was widely criticised on Tuesday for suggesting that Bank of Cyprus was going to be wound up in the same way as is planned for Laiki Bank.
His comments led to demonstrations, calls for his resignation from Bank of Cyprus staff, and a hastily-drafted denial from Finance Minister Michalis Sarris.
Mr Demetriades said "superhuman" efforts were being made to get the banks ready for reopening on Thursday.
"Indications are that banks will open tomorrow with some restrictions on capital," said central bank spokeswoman Aliki Sylianou, speaking to the country's state broadcaster on Wednesday.
The banks have been shut since 15 March while the controversial 10bn-euro bailout was being negotiated.
Jamie Clark, 28, lost fingers on his left hand after being arrested for a "domestic incident" in Burry Port, Carmarthenshire.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is looking into the matter, which happened in Llanelli on 20 June.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the man "suffered an injury while in custody".
Mr Clark, of Burry Port, was arrested after an argument with his girlfriend. He has since been released on bail.
He said officers restrained him while he was in a cell, but he put his hand out as they tried to close the door.
"My hand actually went in between the hinge of the door and I knew my middle finger was severed immediately. I've never felt pain like it."
After his hand was released, he said the other two fingers were left "crushed and twisted".
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman said: "We can confirm an incident occurred on the night of Monday 20 June, whereby a male required hospital treatment after suffering an injury while in custody.
"The matter has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
The IPCC said: "We received a referral from Dyfed-Powys Police after a man suffered a serious hand injury while in custody.
"After assessment we have decided we will conduct an independent investigation into how the man sustained the injury, and his period in custody."
Just as MPs were contemplating long weeks of uncontroversial legislation, one line whips and general debates, not just until the Christmas break, but well into 2017, the voters of Richmond Park have reminded them that, in 2016, it's never quiet in politics for very long.
Let's get last night's result into perspective. The Lib Dems have received a much-needed shot in the arm, but even as the victorious Sarah Olney takes her seat, next week, the parliamentary arithmetic around Brexit has not really changed.
What might have changed a bit is the attitude of MPs - but this will cut both ways. Those who found themselves out of step with their constituents in the referendum on 23 June will have just received a pointed reminder that they now have to tread very carefully.
That means Remainers in Leave constituencies, just as much as Leavers, like Zac Goldsmith, in pro-Remain constituencies like Richmond Park. So I don't detect the early rumbles of a Brexit counter-revolution, and I don't think that emboldened Remainers will suddenly feel able to block Article 50, or whatever.
Mind you, the parliamentary arithmetic in the Commons was a little tight for the government's comfort even before Zaxit.
On Wednesday, they came closer to defeat than the Chief Whip Gavin Williamson and his pet tarantula would have liked, in the SNP-led debate on the state pension age for women, where the vote would have been carried had more opposition MPs turned up (more than 20 Conservative MPs failed to vote with the government, and one, Philip Hollobone voted with the opposition) but, perhaps alienated by the previous debate targeting Tony Blair, Labour mustered 165 out of 231 MPs.
So even amidst the gathering torpor, the government still has to beware of ambushes.
The scheduled business in the Commons for the coming week looks pretty unexceptional (remember that most ministerial statements and all urgent questions are not scheduled in advance) and it looks a relatively quiet week on the committee corridor. In the Lords, there could be some important votes on the Policing and Crime Bill - and some significant smoke signals about the burgeoning size if the Upper House.
Here's my rundown of the week ahead:
The Commons opens (2.30pm) with Home Office questions - with any post weekend urgent questions or ministerial statements likely to be taken immediately afterwards, at 3.30pm.
The day's main debate is on the second reading of the Children and Social Work Bill, which aims to promote greater stability for children in care, and better support to improve their opportunities and outcomes. It is also designed to strengthen local governance and accountability arrangements to help analyse serious cases, and to give local authorities an opportunity to test new working practices, as well as reforming the social work profession.
My select committee pick is the Communities Committee hearing (4pm). As local authorities struggle on parks - an issue that has attracted much social media attention - with minister Andrew Percy.
In the Lords (from 2.30pm) the main event is the debate on the size of the House of Lords, led by the Conservative, Lord Cormack. This seems to be intended as a show of strength by peers who want action to reduce the size of the Upper House - although in best Lords tradition of subtle influence, it won't be on a very substantive resolution saying that the size of the House should be reduced.
Lord Cormack is one of the leading figures in the Campaign for an Effective Second Chamber, a pressure group urging reforms that would keep the House of Lords more or less in its present form, but with fewer peers - a view which probably commands majority support on the red benches.
There's some consensus about the method by which the cull is implemented - a sort of balloon debate approach in which the party groups vote internally to decide who stays and who goes. The big point at issue is the numbers game; should the House be reshaped in line with the result of the last election, which would mean a drastic reduction in the number of Lib Dem peers? Or should the reduction be based on an average of the last three election results, which would produce more modest change?
As I write, 66 peers are down to speak, including such luminaries as the former Lord Chancellor Lord Mackay of Clashferne and the former Speaker of the Commons Baroness Boothroyd.
The Commons opens (11.30am) with Justice questions, followed by a Ten Minute Rule Bill on schools admission for the children of Armed Services personnel from the Conservative, Anne-Marie Trevelyan.
The main debate is on the detail of the Health Service Medical Supplies (Costs) Bill which aims to cut the the £15.2bn spent by the NHS in England spent on medicines.
In Westminster Hall, there are debates on household food insecurity measurement in the UK (9.30am-11am) and on tidal lagoons and UK energy strategy (2.30pm-4pm) - that is led by the former Welsh Secretary, Stephen Crabb - who has become much more visible in Westminster in recent weeks.
And there's a debate on road traffic accident prevention (4.30pm-5.30pm).
On the committee corridor, the Culture Media and Sport Committee looks at how to regulate and deal with complaints against the press, with the Hacked Off campaign; and representatives of one of the alternative models of regulation in IMPRESS, Sir Joseph Pilling, author of the external IPSO review, and David Wolfe QC, chair of the Press Recognition Panel (10.30am).
In the Lords (from 2.30pm) the main event is the second reading of Higher Education and Research Bill.
The Commons opens (11.30am) with Northern Ireland questions, followed at noon by Prime Minister's Question Time.
There's a particularly interesting Ten Minute Rule Bill, from the Conservative Ranil Jayawardena, who proposes scrapping PR elections for city mayors, the London Assembly and Police and Crime Commissioners and switching to first past the post. He also calls for elections for mayors, the London Assembly, Police and Crime Commissioners and local authorities to be held on the same day, and to allow a MPs to additionally hold any elected local government office, including Police and Crime Commissioners. A rather interesting trial balloon.
The main debate will be on an Opposition motion, to be announced.
My committee pick is the Brexit Committee hearing on the UK's negotiating objectives for its withdrawal from the EU, with a rather 1970s-style lineup of the Director-General of the CBI, Carolyn Fairbairn, and Frances O'Grady, General Secretary of the TUC (9.15am).
In Westminster Hall there are debates on tree planting in the UK (9.30am-11am) and the humanitarian situation in South Sudan (2.30pm- 4pm).
In the Lords (from 3pm) the main event is the second day of report stage consideration of the Policing and Crime Bill - where there was a stinging defeat for the government over an amendment adding a clause to require the prime minister to set up an independent inquiry into the operation of the police complaints system and allegations of corrupt relationships between the police and newspapers.
This week, the Conservative peer and former sports minister, Lord Moynihan, has an anti-doping amendment to make it an offence for any athlete to knowingly take, anywhere in the world, a prohibited substance with the intention of enhancing his or her performance in any sports competition where there is a reward on offer, whether monetary or in terms of prestige. It would also make it an offence for anyone to encourage or assist an athlete to do so, and there are particular clauses creating new offences for medical professionals and for members of sport organising bodies, if they become involved in doping. The penalties run to up to six months imprisonment.
Other issues include a proposal from Labour's Baroness Royall to double the maximum sentence for stalking offences, to 10 years; and moves to tighten the law on blood alcohol levels from the Conservative, Baroness Berridge. Peers might, or might not, get to a proposal from the Lib Dem Lord Marks, to strengthen the law on revenge porn.
That's followed by report stage consideration of the National Citizen Service Bill - NCS offers courses for young people in England and Northern Ireland, mostly aged 16 and 17, which encourage them to engage with their community and develop for the future and meet people from different backgrounds, enhancing their life skills and increasing their employability. The bill tidies up the legal framework for the NCS and creates a new Trust, with the aim of making it a national institution while preserving its independent ethos.
In the Commons (9.30am) it's questions to the Attorney General and to Justine Greening in her role as minister for women, and then the Leader of the House announces the forthcoming business in the chamber.
The day's main debates, chosen by the Backbench Business Committee, are on the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the Cancer Strategy one year on.
In Westminster Hall (1.30pm) the SNP's Pete Wishart, in his guise as chair of the Scottish Affairs Committee, leads a debate on their report on Post-study work schemes, and the government response. And at 3pm, the Conservative Jeremy Lefroy leads a debate on the UK ivory trade - as a former resident of Tanzania, he's very concerned about the increased slaughter of elephants there.
In the Lords (11am) the debates are on subjects chosen by backbench Conservative peers, starting with the impact of the withdrawal from the EU on the UK's armed forces and diplomatic service, led by Lord Sterling of Plaistow. Then comes a debate on the balance between rights and responsibilities in the corporate sector, led by Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, and the treatment of human rights campaigners in Iran, led by Baroness Ashfar.
The Commons isn't sitting but their Lordships meet at 10am to debate private members' bills. First up is the committee stage of the House of Lords Act 1999 (Amendment) Bill, where the Labour peer Lord Grocott continues his campaign to abolish the much-criticised system of hereditary by-elections by which the phalanx of 92 hereditary peers remaining in the Lords is topped up, with the aim of allowing the grim reaper to gradually remove them altogether.
Then there's the second reading of the Property Boundaries (Resolution of Disputes) Bill proposed by the crossbench or independent peer, the Earl of Lytton.

It's the semi-finals this weekend and Ore Oduba, Louise Redknapp, Danny Mac and Claudia Fragapane are all still in with a chance to win the glitterball trophy.
This year is also Len's last year on the show, after being on it for 12 years. He says he'll miss turning up on a Saturday and seeing his fellow judges the most.
Watch the video to see what score Len gave Jenny for her interview.
The number of people who attended was second only to the Olympic Games.
The Edinburgh Festivals 2015 Impact Survey found the festivals generated £280m for Edinburgh and £313m for Scotland - an increase of 19% and 24% on the previous 2010 study.
The latest research surveyed 29,000 people.
Commissioned by Edinburgh's Festivals, the 2015 Impact Study was produced by BOP Consulting.
Its findings included:
Research for the study started with the Edinburgh International Science Festival and concluded at Edinburgh's Hogmanay.
Richard Naylor, the director of research at BOP consulting, said: "The scale of the 2015 Edinburgh Festivals Impact Study makes it one of the most statistically significant studies in the cultural world and the results continue to show that Edinburgh's festivals have an impact commensurate to their world-leading festival city status."
Festivals Edinburgh director Julia Amour said: "The impact study tells us that the festivals' unique resilience and the increasing value they deliver is based on the artistic vision, ambition and programmes of the individual festivals.
"Continued investment in these programmes is crucial to driving our impacts and ensuring that our distinctive cultural offering remains the envy of cities around the world."
VisitScotland chief executive Malcolm Roughead, added: "The study underlines the immense importance of Edinburgh's Festivals to Scottish tourism.
"While people are drawn to our amazing capital for the music, the comedy and the performing arts, the visitor economy causes a ripple effect that touches every industry, business and community in the country - from laundry services to life sciences - generating an incredible £313m for the national economy.
"The festivals are a real jewel in our tourism crown and it's their incredible international reputation that draws millions from around the world each year to experience the dynamic delights of the city."
Scott Henry and his fiance Kylie Walker are pretty competitive out on the course. That's because they are both professional golfers.
The pair are due to be married on 29 December to tee up a special 2017 for Henry in particular, who regained his European Tour card through a "pressure-packed week" at qualifying school after a three-year absence from the top tier.
Less than two weeks after tying the knot, he'll be 10,000 miles away preparing for the BMW South Africa Open
"Christmas is taking a bit of a back seat," Henry told BBC Scotland. "Getting married will kick the year off perfectly and my soon-to-be wife will come to South Africa with me, but I couldn't get away with taking her to a golf tournament for a honeymoon.
"We'll sort a honeymoon for February once we know what I'm doing tournament-wise."
Walker, 30, is a two-time winner on the Ladies European Tour and the upcoming wedding day will be one of those rare times when they are in the same place at the same time.
"We've had our moments over the years when it's not been that easy because of spending time apart," said Henry.
"She could be in America and I could be in China and trying to speak on the phone is not easy.
"But it's a great thing because she understands the ins and outs of it, the stresses and the disappointments, and knows what to say and when to say it. I hope I say the right things to her as well.
"When we get home we've got so much more to talk about. We've got so much in common away from the game that we hardly talk golf at all.
"I'm very competitive and so is she, which has led to a few arguments in the past when we have been out playing! There have been a few sticky moments over the years!"
As well as marriage, Clydebank-born Henry will soon turn 30 and it has led him to reflect on the positive input from both his parents.
His dad Allan played a pivotal and very practical role in introducing Scott to the game of golf as a four-year-old.
"My dad made my first set of golf clubs for me," explains Henry. "He basically cut them down because at that time there was no kids clubs around.
"He's cut them down and made me a little bag. Even just to think of that now - the effort that took him to give me an opportunity to play.
"But not just lessons in golf, lessons in life and manners and how you conduct yourself. All that stuff has come from him.
"My mum and dad have sacrificed so much for me. Even now, sometimes you need to be brought down a peg or two and my dad's more than capable of doing that."
Henry has learned significantly from his previous experience as a rookie on the European Tour in 2013 and "100% believes he is going to be a winner" on the circuit before too long.
"It's just the buzz," he said. "Great courses, great events, big crowds and some of the best players in the world - that's where I want to be.
"It doesn't make me nervous, it just makes me excited."
Perhaps Henry will be more nervous as he walks down the aisle next week.
Moments earlier she had been standing by the side of a road preparing to end her own life.
With a husband and nine-month-old baby at home, a stressful job and in a "void" of depression, she had decided to kill herself.
Mrs Northcott, from Pontardawe, Neath Port Talbot, had chosen not to leave a suicide note in the hope her death would be interpreted as a tragic accident.
"I decided [my baby] would better off without me... I would just drag her down," she said.
So she stood by the side of the road, waiting for the right moment: "I'd worked out the best spot to do it. A bus came hurtling down the road.
"I was just about to step out but I looked up and it was a driver I'd been on the bus with many, many times before and he smiled at me.
"So instead of stepping forward I stepped back. The bus went past and I burst into tears."
That moment, 22 years ago, was the catalyst for Mrs Northcott finally seeking help for the anxiety and depression that had blighted her life for as long as she could remember.
Always an anxious child, by the end of primary school she was self harming and became adept at hiding her feelings from others: "It just got worse and worse as I got older really.
"It was like being in complete blackness... like a void.
"I thought if I spoke to someone about it I would be admitting to not being who I was pretending to be and that everyone would hate me."
So on that serendipitous day, she went straight to her GP and for the first time admitted there was a problem: "I couldn't hide anymore."
Then she had to face her family and tell them about her suicide attempt: "The worst thing of all was telling them.
"They were absolutely appalled. They really felt they'd let me down and that wasn't the case at all, I was just really good at hiding it."
She was eventually diagnosed with anxiety and while life still presents its ups and downs, she said the condition was now "managed better".
Mrs Northcott went on to become her town's mayor and put her name to an open letter in her parish magazine about her experience.
"Everyone who mentioned it was really positive," she said. "An awful lot said: 'Me too. I feel like that as well'."
She still believes there is a lack of education surrounding mental health and now, as well as being a town councillor, she campaigns with Time to Change Wales to end the stigma.
"[People have said] 'What have you got to be depressed about?' But unfortunately that's not the way mental health conditions work.
"Quite often people from the older generation, and there are others as well, don't understand why we want to talk about it.
"In the past it was kept under wraps and people had the idea that mental health problems didn't exist. We know now that they did, they were just very well hidden."
She is concerned about people being stigmatised at work: "Managers in some companies will say: 'It's the mental health card' [or call it] 'the new back pain'."
Beth Elliott, 22, came to Cardiff to study as an undergraduate. She was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder after leaving a violent relationship.
"It's a bit like you've got the world and then you're in this bubble. You can see everyone and everyone can see you but you're detached from it," she explained.
She said after "massively underestimating" the stress of university she "crashed" and was self harming, leaving scars on her legs.
On one occasion she was at a supermarket and her scars drew comments from another shopper.
"I was wearing shorts. A little girl was looking and said to her mummy: 'Why does that girl have marks on her legs?' The mum replied: 'She's one of those people who do it because she wants attention but we won't give it to her because that's what she wants'.
"I know it sounds really bad when you say it out loud. People don't understand or don't want to understand."
Another time she recalled being in hospital following a suicide attempt when a member of staff said to her: "I wish people like you would either do it properly or not at all as it's a waste of our resources and both our time."
"There's always going to be those sort of people in the world who don't want to understand and are so set in their ways," she said.
"They think mental health isn't a thing."
Despite these experiences she thinks the situation is improving: "15 years ago if you said mental health people would say 'don't say that, it's a bad word'.
"We watch the Pride of Britain awards every year and hear heroic stories but you don't have to be that sort of hero to save someone's life."
Mrs Northcott agrees: "I've found the best thing is to have just a normal conversation. If somebody wants to talk to you just listen. Don't worry about what you're saying, just let them know they can speak."
About 50 bikers caused chaos on 31 October when they brought a major route into Leeds to a standstill and rode dangerously through the city centre.
Two men, aged 27, and one, aged 23, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance.
Nine men and a woman who were previously arrested remain on police bail.
Meanwhile, Leeds City Council has been granted a five-year extension to its county court injunction banning similar events.
More on this story and others from Leeds and West Yorkshire
The injunction allowed officers to stop ride outs planned to take place before Christmas and on New Year's Eve, police said.
Labour councillor Debra Coupar, executive member for communities at Leeds City Council, said the injunction allowed the authority to "take action against people behaving irresponsibly", but would "not affect people who ride in groups in a law-abiding and sensible fashion".
The order bans more than one motor vehicle meeting in a public place in the Leeds district to drive anti-socially. It also forbids people from promoting or organising any such meet-ups.
In October witnesses posted videos online showing bikers in convoy, with some pulling wheelies and others riding on the pavement.
The scene was described as "utter chaos" by one passer-by and compared with the Mel Gibson film Mad Max.
PC Daniel Hughes was stabbed six times with a knife during a struggle while helping colleagues arrest Callum Ashes in Huyton, Merseyside in 2016.
Ashes, 19, of Huyton Lane, Huyton was convicted of wounding with intent but was found not guilty of attempted murder and common assault.
He was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court to nine years' detention at a young offenders' institution.
An officer spotted Ashes, who was wanted for another offence, in Westmorland Road, Huyton and radioed colleagues for help to arrest him last September.
There was a struggle in which PC Hughes was injured and three other officers separated them before Ashes tried to escape but was arrested, police said.
Deputy Chief Constable Carl Foulkes said: "He didn't think twice when he pulled out a knife and stabbed Constable Hughes, who had gone to the aid of a colleague who was trying to arrest him.
"This incident highlights the dangers officers face every single day."
There was no separate penalty for having an article with a blade or forfeiture and destruction of it, the court said.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
He recites the words to give him strength, words that make him think of his mother, Roxana, his father, Humberto, and three siblings in Costa Rica. Family is the second pillar in his life. God is the first.
If Psalm 27 has given Campbell the conviction to play without fear, whoever the opposition, that fearlessness has also become a feature of the way Costa Rica have played in this World Cup.
The Central Americans have already upset the odds by topping a group containing three former World Cup winners in England, Italy and Uruguay - and it has been Campbell who has provided the stand-out performances, notably in the 3-1 win over Uruguay.

But for all the plaudits the 22-year-old has received in Brazil, he remains something of an unknown quantity to fans of his parent club.
It was back in 2011 that a teenage Campbell signed for Arsenal from Costa Rican side Deportivo Saprissa - but he has still to play a game for them. Having been denied a work permit when he first joined the Premier League side, Campbell was loaned to Lorient in France and Real Betis in Spain before a spell at Olympiakos in Greece.
In fact, his only appearance in England to date came for the Greek side last season, when he took on Manchester United in a Champions League last-16 tie in March. Three weeks earlier, he had announced himself with a 25-yard strike in the first leg.
But Arsenal fans may grow more familiar with him soon - on the strength of his performances for Costa Rica, he has now been granted the right to work in the UK.
Paulo Wanchope, Costa Rica's assistant manager, says the young striker is desperate to play for the Gunners, where he has two years remaining on his contract.
"Joel really wants to go back to Arsenal and play," the former Derby, West Ham and Manchester City striker said.
"I told him that the only way to do that was by performing well on the pitch at this World Cup. He has done well, but he can perform even better. Arsene Wenger is watching him."
Indeed he is. The Arsenal manager has already said he wants Campbell at pre-season training, having been impressed by his direct running and willingness to shoot on sight against Uruguay.
So what can Gunners fans expect if Campbell lines up at Emirates Stadium next season?
There is a steel behind the raw talent that marks Campbell out as a force to be reckoned with. He was born in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, but his family is from the English-speaking area of Limon, which explains the Scottish surname. The third of four children, he grew up surrounded by football, fighting to be noticed.
As a youngster, he would juggle empty cans on the street. On one such occasion he was spotted by then Costa Rica manager Ricardo La Volpe. The national side were playing friendlies close by and, while his friends bought tickets to go to the games, Campbell told them all he wanted to go, but as a player. A few weeks later, La Volpe called him up to the Costa Rica national team.
"Who is Messi? Who is Neymar?" the manager said at the time. "Gentlemen of the press - I present to you: Campbell. I discovered him playing with cans."
Those who have worked with him talk about his dedication in training, his work ethic, his desire to get better and better. They also talk of a confident, calm young man - a winner.
Campbell bought 100 packets of World Cup stickers trying to find one of himself. None of the 500 was of him.
"I've always said you have to think about winning," his father Humberto said. "I've always said that success goes hand in hand with sacrifice. We get him to set goals."
His immediate goal is to take Costa Rica to further success at this World Cup,
"We always believed we could do this," Campbell said. "Football is not decided by the shirt you are wearing. With work and effort, you can win against anyone. We are very satisfied, very happy with what we have achieved but we will keep working to do more."
His life is changing on and off the field. He celebrated his goal against Uruguay was by tucking the ball up his shirt, a nod to Maria Fernanda Cascante, his pregnant girlfriend.
"I dedicated my goal to my family, my girlfriend and our child. Was it the most important goal of my life? I hope that is still to come," he said.
"This is unforgettable. We are part of history. Nobody would have put a dollar on this team qualifying but there you go. It can change football in Costa Rica.
"These are the best days of my career."
So far. Better days may yet lie ahead.
The deal was reached after Thai Defence Minister Yuthasak Sasiprapha met his Cambodian counterpart, Tea Banh, in Phnom Penh.
A territorial dispute over a patch of land around the temple has sparked deadly clashes between the two nations.
In April, fighting left 18 people dead and tens of thousands displaced.
The International Court of Justice ordered both sides to remove troops from the disputed area in July - but neither has complied.
According to a joint statement, both countries agreed to set up a working group on "redeployment of their military personnel completely and simultaneously from their current positions in the provisional demilitarised zone at the earliest".
Q&A: Temple dispute
The withdrawal will take place in the presence of Indonesian observers, the statement added, according to AFP news agency.
Thailand does not dispute Cambodia's ownership of the World Heritage-listed temple, but both sides claim some of the surrounding area.
Tension had been increasing between Cambodia and Thailand since Unesco awarded Preah Vihear World Heritage status in 2008.
In April 2009, soldiers exchanged fire across the disputed border.
More serious trouble flared in February 2011, when at least eight people were killed in several days of fighting.
The violence moved westwards to another set of temples in April, before shifting back to Preah Vihear, as widespread clashes forced tens of thousands to flee.
Highways England is consulting on five options for the A27 at Chichester, which include new slip roads and improved signalling at junctions.
Spokesman Ken Simmonds said the £100m improvements would "definitely ease the congestion".
But campaign group Best4Chichester said the city needed a proper bypass.
"It's another sticking plaster job," said campaigner Chris Page.
"Originally we were told the budget would be up to £250m which might have allowed some proper improvements to the road system," he said.
"Now we're told it's about £100m so it's another penny-pinching job.
"They are going to have to come back in a couple of years and produce a proper solution to the traffic problems around Chichester.
"A city on a main road which is part of the strategic road network needs a bypass."
Chris Todd from the Campaign for Better Transport said he agreed that throwing money at A27 would not solve the problems of how people travel.
He said the authorities needed to look at increasing the use of buses, trains and encourage more people to walk and cycle.
"Overall in West Sussex, traffic levels have fallen on the major roads since 2000 so should we really be investing in big new roads?
"That swallows so much money and all it ever does is shift the problem from one place to another.
"People aren't necessarily wedded to just using cars."
The consultation runs for 10 weeks until 22 September and includes 14 exhibitions in Chichester and the surrounding area.
The fee for the 17-year-old is understood to be around £750,000.
Bedeau moved to the Shakers last summer after he was released by Leyton Orient and has made seven appearances since his debut in November.
Bury boss Chris Brass said youngsters George Miller, Callum Styles and Scott Burgess were also attracting interest.

"The interest that has been shown is on a major level, it is not just paper talk."
Of the 1,582 cases that went to court in 2014-15, Merseyside accounted for 267 while Greater Manchester had 178. There were 144 prosecutions in London.
One electrician, who admitted rigging meters, told the BBC poverty was the main reason people sought his services.
Police said the regional variation in prosecutions reflected enforcement effort rather than actual thefts.
The figures, released to BBC Essex by the Crown Prosecution Service under freedom of information laws, also showed Merseyside had seen the largest three-year increase in prosecution numbers.
In 2012-13 there were 112 cases in Merseyside, followed by 202 the following year and up to 267 in 2014-15.
Liverpool Citizens Advice Bureau did not respond to the BBC's questions about whether it had seen a rise in cases of people concerned about utility bills.
But a spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said the high levels of cases reflected its close working with electricity companies and "pro-active policing".
She said the force had done a "lot of work" targeting cannabis farms, which had been found to be stealing electricity as well as growing the class B drug.
During a raid five weeks ago in north Liverpool, officers found 200 cannabis plants and the electricity illegally bypassed.
Insp Sarah Jones said the mix of electricity tampering and extensive watering systems were a dangerous combination and accounted for a growing number of fires in the area.
"The people who set up these farms often tamper with electricity meters to steal electricity," she said. "And there will generally be a number of hot lamps which can overload electricity sockets, which can be running alongside extensive watering systems."
The north west region had 619 court cases in total - more than the North East, Yorkshire and Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands and the East of England combined.
Areas with the smallest number of prosecutions were North Yorkshire and Northamptonshire (four), Dorset (three) and Wiltshire (one).
One electrician, who spoke to BBC Essex on condition of anonymity, admitted tampering with about 20 meters and said he knew of other electricians and gas engineers who did the same.
Asked who he had rigged meters for, the electrician said: "They're all from different backgrounds. Mainly it's just people with no money.
"It has been single parents, people with with kids that are, I mean, in sort of poor quality housing that haemorrhage heat, a couple of old people - just all different people. Just people with no money.
"In my book they have as much right to be warm in the winter as anyone else. I wouldn't do it for someone doing it just out of greed."
It is understood some electricians charge as little as £50 to illegally rig a meter.
Alan Wells, of the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting, said risks included electric shocks and fires.
He said he was disappointed to learn some qualified electricians were carrying out illegal work.
Roger Critchell, director of operations for Crimestoppers, said: "This is not the victimless crime that some may perceive it to be.
"And not only is it highly dangerous, it also has very real links to serious and organised crime."
When Hans Asperger first defined autistic psychopathy in 1944, he was talking about boys. He thought no women or girls were affected by the condition.
This is his definition: "A lack of empathy, little ability to form friendships, one-sided conversations, intense absorption in a special interest, and clumsy movements."
Asperger later revised his thinking, but the tradition has stuck. Autism remains a condition predominantly associated with boys and men.
Statistical studies over the years have proved inconclusive.
A 1993 research paper in Sweden found a boy-to-girl ratio of four-to-one.
Others put the ratio at 16-to-one.
A more recent study, by the National Autistic Society in 2015, suggests it may be three-to-one.
But there is growing evidence that more girls and women have the condition than was originally thought and that it is being significantly under-diagnosed.
We met Millie at home in Norfolk.
She wears a weighted jacket - it helps to calm her mood, she stands to do everything, she finds it hard to socialise, to make eye contact, to form relationships.
"I find it really difficult to make friends, because I find people really, really difficult," she says.
"I find it hard to understand people a lot in the way that they feel or what they mean, and this leads me to feel embarrassed, and I feel like I should get out of everyone's way just for convenience."
Millie, 14, was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome two years ago.
It came as a relief.
"It made my life easier because then I could say, 'This is the way I am.'
"I know that sometimes I can be a bit of a problem, but I'm not intending to do it.
"It's just the way my brain works."
Why are fewer girls and women diagnosed with the condition?
Experts believe it may be because girls are better at masking the symptoms - better at copying social norms while not necessarily understanding them.
Emily, 29, works at the National Autistic Society.
"When you meet me, I don't come across necessarily on first glance as being autistic," she says.
"I will come into work perfectly, get through the day perfectly, and then I'll go home to a quiet dark room.
"I'll be non-verbal, so I won't be able to speak, won't be able to communicate and will take about four hours to reset."
The anxiety of coping with day-to-day life led to a series of what Emily calls meltdowns and shutdowns.
She was misdiagnosed with a series of mental health problems - bipolar, borderline personality disorder - and given treatments she says made things worse.
Her diagnosis of autism last year changed everything.
"It was basically an instant turning point," she says.
"I'm a radically different person.
"I understand who I am and how my way of relating to the world might differ, so I can make that something that's successful."
There is another reason many girls and women may be missing from the statistics.
The diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorders has largely been based on the behavioural characteristics of boys and men.
Charities are now campaigning for changes, to recognise the more nuanced way girls and women may present with the condition.
That is what has just happened in Scotland.
The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, which produces clinical practice guidelines for the NHS in Scotland, published new guidance in July.
Consultant psychiatrist Iain McClure, who helped draw up the guidelines, says there is growing evidence showing differences in how males and females with autism present.
"A teenage girl with autism might for example be integrated into a peer group, and often they're talking about how they're pretending to be normal," he says.
"They're trying to fit in with the group and they are following the same sort of interest that the peer group have got but perhaps in a more bizarre or unusual way.
"So, when you actually get into the detail, you start to see how this problem is more camouflaged but still subtly present."
Iain McClure is convinced there are many women and girls who are developing mental health problems, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, because their actual condition is not being spotted.
"I keep seeing patients who have got autism, but we didn't know they had it," he says.
"What's happened is they've developed a kind of burnout.
"So, it's really important to try and recognise these difficulties as early as possible.
"Knowledge is power - if you understand a problem you can do something about it."
Back in Norfolk, Millie helps her father, Roger, in the garden.
There's no history of autism in the family, and Roger says they went through a series of emotions when the diagnosis was made - confusion, shock, denial and finally acceptance.
Wiping away tears, he tells me: "With that acceptance, you come to realise the really good points.
"Millie looks at the world in a completely different way and picks up on things that I can't.
"It's a shame that not enough people understand the condition. And my concern more than anything else is that when Millie's older, people are not going to see what I see."
Millie is now getting concentrated, targeted help and is doing well at school.
The call today from the National Autistic Society is for the diagnosis of girls and women to change and improve so many more can also get the help they need.
Initial reports suggested that the Spanish embassy was under attack, but Spain's prime minister Mariano Rajoy denied this.
He later added that one Spanish police officer died in the attack.
The Taliban say their fighters detonated a car bomb in the Sherpur area and were currently inside a building there.
It is the latest in a series of audacious raids by Taliban fighters on high-profile targets in Afghanistan.
Casualties have been brought in to a nearby hospital, and eyewitnesses say a gun battle is still under way.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud explosion followed by heavy gunfire on Friday evening.
Fresh gunfire and explosions were heard early on Saturday morning.
It follows a Taliban attack on Kandahar airport on Tuesday evening in which at least 50 people were killed.
Afghan security officials say that seven insurgents are involved in the attack. Both Afghan and Spanish security forces are reportedly at the scene.
"There has not been an attack, nor an attempt to carry one out on the Spanish embassy in Afghanistan" Mr Rajoy said.
"It was an attack on some guest houses that were very close to the embassy." he added.
Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi told the BBC: " I can only confirm a suicide car bomb in the Sherpur area at this moment".
Freelance journalist Bilal Sarwary reported seeing two Spanish diplomats fleeing the compound shortly after the attack.
He saw one of them repeatedly bang their head on a vehicle in a show of grief.
Afghan police report that the militants had burned several armoured vehicles that they found inside the compound.
The initial explosion left two houses on fire, a police official told the Associated Press.
"It's possible the attackers are hiding. We've blocked all the streets and are searching," he added.
She passed away in a Mumbai hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest on Wednesday night.
The actress was famous for playing the role of the mother of main characters in films and TV soaps. She also acted in several Marathi language plays.
She starred in dozens of hit Bollywood films like Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Maine Pyar Kiya.
Lagoo started her career in the late 1970s, and soon became famous for playing the mother of lead characters.
She was also known as the "on-screen mother" of popular actor Salman Khan, with whom she acted in several films.
She played Khan's mother in his first film 28 years ago at the age of 31.
People have taken to Twitter to pay their tributes.
For the average band D home, first-time buyers would save £660, at an estimated total cost of about £7.5m a year.
But the Conservatives have dropped plans to scrap stamp duty for all homes up to £250,000. That pledge will now only apply to first-time buyers.
Labour dismissed the plan as "fantasy politics", saying the Tories had not said how they would pay for it.
As well as extending the right to buy for social housing tenants, the Conservatives said they would keep the Help to Buy Wales scheme - which offers financial assistance for people buying newly-built homes - until the year 2020.
Labour has said it would abolish the right to buy.
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said the commitments showed his party was "the party of aspiration and home ownership".
"When you pick up the keys to your new home you won't be picking up a new council tax bill," he said.
A Welsh Tory spokesman said the stamp duty waiver was changed to match a new stamp duty regime being introduced by Chancellor George Osborne.
A Welsh Labour spokesman said: "This is just fantasy politics from the Tories - there's no suggestion of how they will pay for any of it. Their party in London has already made a £50m in-year cut to our budget this year, and we expect there's more to come.
"Council tax is already lower in Wales than England and we are well on track to meeting our ambitious housing targets for this term.
"We will be bringing forward our own proposals on housing and tax for 2016, and unlike this Tory fag packet offering, it will be properly thought through - and costed."
Davison tested Lady Magpies keeper Carly Telford with a fierce angled shot before coolly slotting the visitors ahead on 23 minutes.
Ex-Chelsea forward Rachel Williams then met an Alex Greenwood corner to head home the leveller soon after.
Ji So-Yun hit the post for Chelsea before Davison secured the win from the penalty spot after Amy Turner's foul.
With both side easing through the fifth round of the FA Women's Cup with convincing wins over lower league opposition last week, their WSL 1 season opener looked to be a truer test of two of the title favourites' credentials.
Chelsea started brightest, with Eniola Aluko's pace putting Rick Passmoor's side under plenty of pressure.
Winger Davison, who helped Liverpool win last season's WSL 1 title ahead of Chelsea on goal difference, called Telford into action for the first time at her near post, with the keeper tipping the well-struck shot over the bar.
From the resulting corner Drew Spence flicked an effort just wide, while at the other end Ellen White had a good close-range chance deflected over the bar by Katie Chapman.
Davison then met a Spence pass to put Chelsea ahead with a neat low finish past Telford, but the lead was short lived as Williams made it 1-1 two minutes later.
Williams' goal came less than three months after the 2011 WSL top goalscorer and England international moved to Meadow Lane from Chelsea.
As heavy rain lashed down after the break both sides struggled to push forward with any meaningful intent for long periods.
However, after conditions cleared So-Yun got on the end of a fine Aluko cross to brush the post with a header before Davison picked herself up to net her second from the spot.

The CIA said it did not tell Pakistan about the raid in advance over fears it would jeopardise the mission.
Pakistan denies any prior knowledge of the raid - its intelligence agency says it is embarrassed by its failures.
US officials say they have not yet decided when to release the "gruesome" photos of Bin Laden's body.
But CIA director Leon Panetta told NBC News there was "no question" the image would be released at some point.
Bin Laden, aged 54, was the founder and leader of al-Qaeda. He is believed to have ordered the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001, as well as a number of other deadly bombings.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Bin Laden's wife "rushed" the first US assaulter who entered the room where they were, and was shot in the leg but not killed.
On Monday, White House officials said the woman was killed in the firefight after Bin Laden used her as a human shield.
They later said one woman had died in the raid but had been "caught in the crossfire". Two couriers were also killed.
By Owen Bennett-JonesBBC News, Islamabad
Clearly there were people helping Bin Laden in this location... were they state employees, were they simply from Taliban-related groups, were they from the intelligence agencies?
For all Americans may ask the questions, I doubt they will get any answers. There will be ambiguity about this and the Pakistanis will deny they had any knowledge whatsoever.
The establishment here is made up of army leadership, intelligence agency leadership and some senior civil servants, and they have always run Pakistan, whether democratic governments or military governments, and those people do have connections with jihadis.
The difficulty the West has is in appreciating there are more than 20 different types of jihadi organisations, and al-Qaeda is just one of them. The state has different policies towards different types of group and that subtlety is often lost on Western policy-makers.
"We expected a great deal of resistance and were met with a great deal of resistance. There were many other people who were armed in the compound," Mr Carney said.
Bin Laden himself then resisted the troops and was shot dead, but was not armed, he added.
The CIA is already examining material seized in the raid, including computer hard drives, DVDs and other documents.
No decision had yet been taken on whether to release a photograph of Bin Laden's body, Mr Carney said, conceding that the image was "pretty gruesome" and could inflame some sensitivities.
But Mr Panetta later said the government was in talks about the best way to do so.
"I don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public," he said.
An image which was widely distributed on the internet purporting to show Bin Laden's corpse has been determined to be a fake.
In a Time magazine article, billed as Mr Panetta's first interview since Bin Laden was killed, he said the CIA had "ruled out participating with its nominal South Asian ally early on".
It reports him as saying that "it was decided that any effort to work with the Pakistanis could jeopardise the mission. They might alert the targets".
Pakistan received $1.3bn (£786m) in US military and humanitarian aid last year, and provides logistical support for the Nato mission in Afghanistan. However, relations between Islamabad and Washington have been strained by US suspicions that the ISI is covertly backing militants in Afghanistan, and by anger over US drone strikes in Pakistani tribal areas.
Pakistan's foreign ministry has defended the ISI and issued a lengthy statement in which it expressed "deep concerns and reservations" about the unilateral US action.
Insisting that unilateral action should not become the norm, the ministry stressed that Pakistani intelligence had been sharing information with the US in recent years.
"As far as the target compound is concerned, ISI had been sharing information with CIA and other friendly intelligence agencies since 2009."
Earlier, an ISI official told the BBC's Owen Bennett-Jones in Islamabad that the agency raided the compound in Abbottabad, just 100km (62 miles) from the capital, when it was under construction. It was believed an al-Qaeda operative, Abu Faraj al-Libi, was there.
But since then, "the compound was not on our radar, it is an embarrassment for the ISI", the official said. "We're good, but we're not God."
The compound is about a kilometre from the Pakistan Military Academy - the country's equivalent of Sandhurst or West Point.
The US has not commented on anyone it captured or had planned to capture, other than saying it had taken Bin Laden's body.
However, the Pakistani foreign ministry statement said that the rest of Bin Laden's family are now "in safe hands and being looked after in accordance with the law".
Earlier, in an opinion piece in the Washington Post, President Asif Ali Zardari admitted Bin Laden "was not anywhere we had anticipated he would be".
But he denied the killing suggested Pakistan was failing in its efforts to tackle terrorism.

Some £130m was spent by Premier League clubs in the past month, with title rivals Chelsea and Manchester City the biggest spenders.
But which club got the best deal? What was the biggest surprise? Who is the happiest club? And who will have the biggest regret?
We asked former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy, ex-Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas, BBC Radio 5 live's chief football reporter Ian Dennis and BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty to give their views.
Murphy:
"It's Wilfried Bony to Manchester City for me - he's a one-goal-in-two-games striker. It gives City more firepower and eases the burden on Sergio Aguero. It might, just might, give them an extra boost as they go for the league title."
Jenas:
"I would say for the amount of money they recouped, it's Chelsea's sale of midfielder Andre Schurrle. The Blues have done great business in the last couple of windows, with David Luiz and Juan Mata leaving and Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa coming in. They've now managed to bring in winger Juan Cuadrado and sold Schurrle for barely any outlay."
McNulty:
"Manchester City's signing of Bony could be the one that swings the title their way. Expensive but a proven Premier League goalscorer who will give them something different. Everton might have pulled off a shrewd deal by signing winger Aaron Lennon from Spurs on loan."
Dennis:
"It's also Bony for me. He's proven at this level and could prove to be the difference in the title race when he returns from the Africa Cup of Nations. It's a very good acquisition for City."
McNulty:
"The biggest surprise has to be QPR manager Harry Redknapp not being able to do more business with the Hoops occupying such a lowly position in the league. He looked crestfallen as he told a tale of woe about his struggles to get deals over the line."
Dennis:
"Villa not being as proactive as they could have been. I know they brought in a couple of players, but two more might have given them more momentum. This is a team that is struggling to score. They came in late for Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert, but was it a question of too little, too late?"
Murphy:
"I'm a little surprised that Chelsea let Schurrle go. He's a talented player who scored goals for them. The fans also quite liked him I believe, and of course they're still involved in other competitions so they need a good squad. I guess when you look at Financial Fair Play (FFP) and how it impacts clubs, you understand why they had to do that."
Jenas:
"No surprises for me. A lot of clubs got into bad situations in the last couple of windows. That is the downfall of the whole situation. Because of FFP, a lot of hands are tied. This transfer window has been quite a disappointing spectacle."
McNulty:
"Chelsea will be delighted to bring in a player of Cuadrado's calibre for £23.3m and not getting hit in the pocket by virtually balancing the books with the sale of Schurrle to Wolfsburg for £22m. Manchester City will be delighted with the addition of Bony."
Murphy:
"I think West Brom will be reasonably pleased. They've got midfielders Darren Fletcher and Callum McManaman. They both know what it's like to play at this level. I didn't think they had a particularly poor team anyway, although more competition for places will improve the bunch, while Fletcher's knowhow will also help them."

Jenas:
"Newcastle keeping hold of midfielder Moussa Sissoko is a definite plus for them. The other team that should be happy is Everton for bringing in Lennon. He can turn their season around. Lennon will fit into the way manager Roberto Martinez wants his team to play."
Dennis:
"Southampton for me. They made two good additions in full-back Ryan Bertrand, on a permanent deal, and midfielder Filip Djuricic from Benfica. Palace will be the other club pleased, having brought in seven new faces. Manager Alan Pardew's key strength is his motivational skills and the way he generates spirit in a squad, which we have already seen since he arrived at Selhurst Park."
Murphy:
"I think QPR and Aston Villa will both be disappointed they haven't brought in strikers. For the Hoops, it would have been someone to share the burden with Charlie Austin, and for Villa, a player to help score goals and bring some confidence to the club."
Jenas:
"I don't think any of the struggling teams could have tried any harder. They are in a relegation battle so it's tough to attract players. On top of that, financially the likes of the Baggies and Burnley are not massive spenders. What I'm trying to say is that you can't have any regrets when you can't do anything about it."
McNulty:
"Remains to be seen but the likes of Hull City and QPR might live to regret not doing more business if the lack of activity plays a part in a failure to retain their Premier League status."
Dennis:
"Newcastle losing out on Dele Alli to Tottenham. They were in pole position to sign the MK Dons midfielder. I believe a deal could have been done last week. He's a part of a rare breed of goalscoring midfielders. At £5m, the Magpies might regret they didn't act sooner."
The event is being held in the village of Southwick in Northamptonshire, with thousands of spectators expected.
Richard Howard, who is the ringmaster of the day's events, said 10 countries were competing, including Japan, South Africa and the US.
The event started in 1965 and has grown year-on-year ever since with competitors playing on eight podiums.
The winner on the day is led to a conker throne and crowned with conkers - and Mr Howard said whoever won would have gone through several rounds and have smashed many conkers to have gained "the title and the honour" of being a world-class conker player.
He said: "Usually the ones who are good at it are people with a good eye - people who are good at shooting, tennis players, sports people."
For those without experience he said the key to a win was to aim for the weakest point of the conker - the part where the lace goes through it, "as close to the string as possible" and not to hit it too hard.
Some 200 people are taking part in the competition.
Mr Howard said: "It's not often you get the chance to become a world champion."
Extra security measures have been put in place following the recent terrorist attacks in London and Manchester.
Wiltshire Police said the move was to "reassure the public that we are doing everything we can to keep them safe".
The Pagan Federation said it "sadly accepted" the need for such security measures.
About 12,000 people attended the Neolithic site last year to mark the summer solstice, which takes place tomorrow.
Visitors will only be allowed to bring small bags with them and are urged to only bring essential items.
"At Stonehenge there will be an increased number of officers and staff this year carrying out high-visibility patrols, and as a further precaution visitors may see armed police officers in the vicinity," said Supt Dave Minty from Wiltshire Police.
"I must stress that this is not due to any increase in threat or change in the intelligence picture surrounding the event or the county as a whole."
David Spofforth from the Pagan Federation said it was "very sad" that armed police were necessary.
"I am not saying I am welcoming this, I sadly accept it," he said.
"But you just have to look at the events such as at Finsbury Park, a peaceful religious gathering where people suffered so much by the actions of one hate-filled individual."
English Heritage said it hoped this year's solstice festival would be the "greenest solstice yet", by encouraging people to either car share or travel by public transport.
Parking charges of £15 have caused controversy though, after a senior druid challenged the fees in court.
King Arthur Pendragon lost his claim last month that the "pay to pray" rules breached his human rights.

The 28-year-old won his first major by three shots on five under as 2015 champion Jordan Spieth crumbled during a thrilling final round in Augusta.
Sheffield-born Willett is the first European winner since Jose Maria Olazabal in 1999 and the first British victor since Nick Faldo's win 20 years ago.
It's a quarter of a century since Welshman Ian Woosnam won his only major at Augusta in 1991, but Wales can claim a part in the latest Masters drama.
Llangefni's pay as you play golf course, a former council-owned facility now run by a social enterprise, is a world away from the manicured splendour of the Augusta National.
But the nine hole course on the outskirts of the market town is where it all began for a young Willett.
"We used to go to Anglesey in Wales for two weeks in the summer and play the same nine-hole golf course three or four times," Willett said in an interview with BBC Radio Sheffield in 2015.
"I think the longest club you hit was probably a seven iron on this par three course in the middle of a sheep field."
Willett's mother and father, Steve and Elisabet, have retired to the island where their son's lifelong passion for golf began.
"He had his first golfing lesson in Llangefni and it's just gone from there really," mum Elisabet told BBC Breakfast.

"We used to come to Anglesey every summer and gradually Danny got better and better.
"We thought maybe there was something there."
Willett won the English Amateur Championship in 2007 before turning professional the following year, winning four times on the European Tour before his Masters triumph.
Llangefni's resident professional, Paul Lovell, was the man who gave Willett his first ever golf lesson and keenly followed the Yorkshireman's progress at the Masters.
"I was at home watching, burning the midnight candle and saw every shot on the final day," he told BBC Wales' Good Morning Wales.
"I remember Danny and his father coming along to the course and wanting to learn to play golf.
"I gave them a couple of lessons and they purchased a set of junior clubs.
"I think he was about eight or nine and he enjoyed it. He looked a good little prospect."
Oxford had won their previous five games in all competitions but they struggled to break through against a dogged Shrimpers defence.
Just after the hour mark - after a pacy overlap on the right - Jason Demetriou delivered a perfect cross for Fortune to head powerfully home.
And with just two minutes remaining, Robinson smartly peeled away from the goal-line to head in Luke O'Neill's right-wing corner.
Oxford were not at their best and their better opportunities came in the first half.
Chris Maguire fired an angled 20-yard free-kick into the side netting.
And from a Maguire corner, centre-half Chey Dunkley was unlucky to see his thumping header come back off the inside of the post.
Dunkley had another header saved at a corner after the break, but Southend were always threatening in the second half and sealed maximum points.

Police confronted them using tear gas at a road block close to the city of Chilpancingo.
Eleven officers were reported injured.
The students were planning to demonstrate against the findings of an official inquiry into the disappearance of 43 trainee teachers from their college last year.
They accuse the authorities of covering up the involvement of corrupt Mexican politicians in the killings.
The confrontation takes place in the run-up for the first anniversary of the disappearance, on 26 September.
Police say they set up a road block in the municipality of Tixtla and tried to persuade the students to return to Ayotzinapa.
At least 200 policemen took part in the operation.
On Monday, protesters had ransacked the prosecutor's office in Chilpancingo.
Masked students reacted by hurling petrol bombs and setting fire to a lorry on the road, the authorities say.
They eventually gave up their attempts to travel to Chilpancingo.
The disappearance of the 43 trainee teachers from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College caused outrage across the country.
The young men had travelled to Iguala, also in Guerrero state, for a protest over job discrimination against teachers of a rural background.
An official investigation found that the local mayor ordered their arrest after they disturbed a planned speech by his wife.
They were handed over to a criminal gang, Guerreros Unidos (United Warriors), who killed them and incinerated their bodies in a nearby rubbish dump, the report said.
Relatives never believed in the official version. They said it was covering up the involvement of more senior politicians and perhaps the army in criminal activities in the region.
Earlier this month, independent investigators dismissed the official inquiry, saying it was flawed.
The Mexican government stood by its conclusions but announced it would send forensic experts back to the area where the bodies are supposed to have been cremated by the drug gang.
DNA testing has so far enabled forensic experts to identify only two of the 43 missing students.
The PM is ramping up his diplomatic push as he seeks EU leaders' agreement on a series of reforms when they gather on Thursday and Friday.
He met German Chancellor Angela Merkel for talks on Friday and will address senior MEPs in Brussels on Tuesday.
Securing French agreement will be vital if there is to be a deal at the summit.
UK proposals for protections for non-eurozone countries are reported to be a sticking point for Mr Holland's government in the renegotiation.
Mr Cameron is seeking legally-binding safeguards for countries that do not use the euro, to ensure they are not discriminated against as the eurozone integrates further.
But France has said it will not support anything which looks like special treatment for the City of London.
For all the headlines about shaking up migrants' access to benefits, there's another issue in this EU renegotiation that is potentially a bit sticky.
On the face of it, it sounds pretty dry: the rules about what powers countries that use the euro will have, and what powers countries, like the UK, that don't use it will have.
The prime minister wants the UK to be protected from being ganged up on by the majority of EU countries that do use the euro.
Those that do use the single currency don't want too much meddling from the margins as they see it.
Enough to talk about, then, for David Cameron and Francois Hollande at the Elysee Palace.
Meanwhile, European Council President Donald Tusk, who is overseeing the renegotiation, has begun a two-day tour of five European countries - beginning with France and Romania - to discuss the draft deal.
The proposed package aimed at keeping the UK in the EU was published at the beginning of February, following months of negotiations between UK and EU officials.
Critics say it falls far short of what is needed but Mr Cameron has said it will deliver the "substantial change" to the EU that he has been demanding.
It includes proposals for an "emergency brake" on benefits, but some countries in eastern Europe, such as Poland, are said to object so moves to scale back welfare payments to migrant workers.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said on Sunday discussions over the membership terms would probably run "right to the wire" of this week's summit.
If a deal is reached, Mr Cameron is expected to hold an in-out referendum on EU membership in June.
However, he has given himself until the end of 2017 to hold the poll so if a deal is not reached it could be held at a later date.
The Glasgow-based company, which makes valves and pumps for the energy and mining industries, said oil and gas orders fell 23% in the first quarter.
Weir expects the decline to continue in the second quarter.
It plans to cut 125 jobs, mostly in its North American oil and gas business.
It will also consolidate its service centres in the region in a bid to deliver cost savings of ??10m.
In a trading statement, Weir said oil and gas markets had been hit by much lower oil prices, which had led to significant reductions in activity levels.
There was better news from the company's minerals division, which saw orders rise year-on-year by 5% between January and April, in line with expectations.
However, Weir warned that mining end markets continued to be challenging, with iron ore prices falling further in the first quarter.
Chief executive Keith Cochrane said: "While mining markets remained subdued, the performance of the minerals division once again demonstrated its resilience.
"Trading conditions in oil and gas markets were challenging through the quarter with a steeper decline in the North American rig count than the market had anticipated.
"Oil and gas activity levels are still falling and we expect a further decline in divisional revenues in the second quarter.
"In response the group is taking further actions to support profitability, including additional workforce reductions and service centre consolidations."
After early volatile trading, Weir's share price was nearly 5% higher by mid-morning.
The university needs to ask the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) for permission to apply for a loan to pay for work at Pantycelyn halls.
But a report said the university must attract more students before applying.
The university said work was continuing to ensure funding can be obtained.
Students climbed on to the roof of the halls last June to protest against the proposed closure, claiming the university did not value the Welsh language enough to keep it open.
A board was later set up to secure its future and £8m of improvements, including the refurbishment of 200 en-suite rooms, were suggested.
The university has said it planned to reopen the halls in September 2019, but the necessary funding needed to be secured before it could give a definitive commitment.
Now, a report to the university's council has been made public which confirms "HEFCW's agreement to procure such finance will only be forthcoming once the university has achieved the required sustained growth in student numbers".
It added the outcome of Brexit also threatened the future sustainability of the university.
The report continued that while the case for refurbishing Pantycelyn to provide Welsh-medium accommodation was "persuasive", the project must be considered in the context of others.
Other funding options suggested in the report include fundraising from individuals or trusts.
An Aberystwyth University spokeswoman would not comment on current recruitment figures, but said: "The university has stated clearly that Pantycelyn is one of its spending priorities.
"A team of Welsh-speaking architects has been appointed to work on the detailed plans for upgrading the building.
"In the meantime, work continues to ensure the required funding can be obtained, in line with the project timetable to reopen the building in September 2019.
"Loans are expected to be part of the funding of the university's priority capital projects. In common with all other universities in Wales, HEFCW's agreement will be required for any loan finance proposal of this scale.
"The university has not yet sought HEFCW's agreement for any loan."
Air-cleansing nanotechnology was used to make the 10m by 20m (33ft x 66ft) poster on a University of Sheffield building.
It bore a poem, In Praise of Air, written by University of Sheffield professor Simon Armitage.
Twelve sections of the poster have now been stretched onto frames to raise money for the British Lung Foundation.
The poster, featured on the side of the Alfred Denney building since 2014, removed more than two tonnes of nitrogen oxide from the environment.
It was a collaboration between the School of English and the Faculty of Science, which helped raise awareness worldwide of the damaging effects of traffic pollution on public health.
The 12 sections to be auctioned for the British Lung Foundation are signed by Mr Armitage, 53, who was born in Huddersfield and is an acclaimed poet, playwright and novelist.
To celebrate the end of the university's catalytic poetry project, Mr Armitage will be giving a poetry reading before the artworks are auctioned at 99 Mary Street, Sheffield, at 19:00 BST.
In Praise of Air by Simon Armitage
I write in praise of air. I was six or five
when a conjurer opened my knotted fist
and I held in my palm the whole of the sky.
I've carried it with me ever since.
Let air be a major god, its being
and touch, its breast-milk always tilted
to the lips. Both dragonfly and Boeing
dangle in its see-through nothingness…
Among the jumbled bric-a-brac I keep
a padlocked treasure-chest of empty space
and on days when thoughts are fuddled with smog
or civilization crosses the street
with a white handkerchief over its mouth
and cars blow kisses to our lips from theirs
I turn the key, throw back the lid, breathe deep.
My first word, everyone's first word, was air.
The dismantling passed off peacefully, but many activists vowed to continue with other forms of civil disobedience.
Police began their operation early on Thursday in what is widely seen as the final act in the long-running protests.
The demonstrations have dwindled in recent weeks from the tens of thousands who turned out in September.
Activists want Beijing to allow free elections for the territory's next leader in 2017. China says everyone can vote but a pro-Beijing committee will screen candidates.
Police officers started to clear the camp and dismantle tents after issuing orders for protesters to vacate the "occupied area" within 30 minutes or face arrest.
Among those arrested were opposition Democratic Party founder Martin Lee, student leader Nathan Law, media tycoon Jimmy Lai and singer Denise Ho.
As police approached the last remaining protesters, Alex Chow, head of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, rallied the crowds, saying the fight was not over, AP reports.
Meanwhile, a dozen people who opposed the protests turned up to cheer on the police, the South China Morning Post reports.
The bailiffs were the first in, enforcing a court order to remove barricades on the outer perimeter. They made light work of it. Then, as promised, the police took over, chanting as they moved slowly forward, riot shields hanging ready at their sides, and approaching, in their hundreds, from all sides.
The camp, though, was already largely deserted, with only a few hundred remaining to make their last stand. They were arrested, one by one, hoisted aloft and carried horizontally, face forward and shouting defiantly for "real universal suffrage". Within a matter of hours the camp was no more, as the steel jaws of the disposal trucks crunched up the tents and the other flotsam and jetsam of protest life.
In the end, though, this is a protest movement that has been vanquished not by force, but by fatigue. It had already run out of steam in the face of China's refusal to make any concessions. But for the protesters, while their unique public space, carved out amongst the sky scrapers, is finished, the fight for democracy - they insist - is not.
Earlier in the morning, bailiffs read out a final warning to protesters shortly before workers, backed by police, moved in and began dismantling barricades in one section of the site, using box cutters to remove ties.
Footage from the scene showed police tearing down supply and first aid tents, as well as a study area used by students.
Trucks with cranes were also used to pick up debris left behind from the broken barriers, plastic sheets and umbrellas.
The clearance is the result of a court order obtained by a bus company which says the protests have disrupted its business.
While the order covered three portions of the Admiralty site, including the main Connaught Road area, Hong Kong police spokesman Cheung Tak-keung said officers would also clear blocked roads.
He said they would clear away barricades from a second protest site at Causeway Bay "at an appropriate time". About 20 people remain there, the South China Morning Post reports.
Some pro-democracy politicians joined the students at the site and academics and a police watchdog were monitoring the clearance operation.
Some protesters, however, packed up their tents as Thursday dawned.
"I'll probably leave just before the action because my job would be difficult if my name was recorded by police," one 29-year-old protester told AFP news agency.
How the past two months of protests have evolved
Clashes erupted when a third protest site, at Mong Kok, was cleared last month. On Wednesday, Hong Kong's top civil servant Carrie Lam urged students to leave the Admiralty site peacefully.
Later that night, more than 10,000 people gathered at the protest site, chanting pro-democracy slogans in what many saw as a farewell to the current demonstrations.
At their height, the protests were seen as the biggest challenge to Beijing's rule in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover.
Rallies in late September and early October saw huge crowds on the streets. But numbers fell as weeks passed and many Hong Kong residents also spoke out against the protests because of disruption to the city.
Beijing has not moved from its position on Hong Kong's election process, describing the demonstrations as illegal.
Van Barneveld, 48, has failed to win the title since 2007 but stunned the 2014 champion to win a thriller 4-3.
The 16th seed plays eighth seed Michael Smith in the quarter-finals at Alexandra Palace, London.
Van Gerwen's average of 105.78 is the highest ever for a loser in the event.
Van Barneveld told Sky Sports: "In the second set, I started to believe in myself, the emotions came.
"The World Championship means everything to me. The whole year I play fantastic, but this is something extra.
"Michael is a true champion and we are good friends. I have been the man here five times and I believe I can be again."
Van Gerwen added: "It is always sad when you lose. Raymond played well and I missed too many shots at the important moments.
"It hurts a lot but what can you do? I can only blame myself."
Van Gerwen won a competitive opening set, before watching Van Barneveld level by winning the second as both averaged over 104.
Van Gerwen levelled again after Van Barneveld took a 2-1 lead, before once more falling behind.
Throwing a 121 checkout, with Van Barneveld on three match darts, Van Gerwen made it 3-3 under intense pressure, before his rival eventually secured victory.
Van Gerwen had won 11 of their previous 14 meetings this year.
In other third-round matches, Scotland's defending champion Gary Anderson beat Vincent van der Voort 4-0 to progress to a quarter-final against James Wade, who continued his pursuit of a first final at Alexandra Palace with a 4-1 victory over fellow Englishman Jamie Caven.
Adrian Lewis secured a similarly one-sided victory, also winning 4-0, against Mensur Suljovic of Austria, while Dutchman Jelle Klaasen beat Mervyn King 4-2 in a second-round encounter.
An online survey of 250 school, youth and health staff working with children in England suggests many go without enough to eat during the school day.
The Children's Food Trust's poll found 68.1% had seen a rise in the proportion of families struggling to feed their children in the past two years.
Lunchboxes now contain less fruit and more junk food, it suggests.
Of the staff working in schools, 47.5% said they had seen a change in the food in children's lunchboxes as household budgets got tighter.
One staff member said they had seen "poorer quality sandwich fillings, sometimes just margarine".
Another said there were "fewer processed items - more leftovers or store-cupboard items".
But he added: "In some ways it is healthier, but some families only give cold cooked rice or cold chips with fish fingers or similar."
There were also references to more junk food, sweets and chocolate appearing in lunchboxes, and less fruit.
The snapshot survey also found 84.6% of the professionals who chose to take part in the survey had seen children without enough to eat during the course of their work.
Of those who said this, 84.8% said it applied to about a third of the children they worked with.
Children's Food Trust chief executive-designate Linda Cregan said too many people who worked with children were having to go above and beyond the call of duty to try to protect children from the effects of hunger and poor diet.
She added: "Of course it's a parent's responsibility to make sure their child eats well.
"But as this and other surveys have shown, the reality is that this can be an enormous struggle.
"Whether we like it or not, people working in these jobs are at the front line of helping parents on this, so they need the right support.
"As local authorities develop their public health plans, ring-fencing funding to support children's nutrition would be a good starting point.
"This could be used in all sorts of ways - training on cooking skills for local organisations working with families, subsidising good school food, breakfast clubs in schools or grub clubs for the holidays - but making that explicit commitment is vital."
Pupils at Priory School in Lewes told the BBC's School Report project their lunches were generally quite good.
"I haven't seen people with chips in their lunchboxes - but the school does do chips on Fridays though. I guess people just get that," said Flora, aged 14.
Ellen, aged 13, agreed that most people were quite healthy: "I take a piece of fruit to school every day."
School dinners were easier, quicker and nicer because "you can get hot food", according to Ossia, 14.
And 13-year-old Safi said: "Packed lunches are cheaper. I can buy in bulk and have the same thing every day."

On Monday, Mr Horgan announced that he had the support of the BC Green Party to oust Ms Clark's Liberal Party.
The Liberals won 43 seats in a recent election, the NDP won 41 and the Greens won three.
Ms Clark said she is unlikely to survive a confidence vote, but will not resign pre-emptively.
"If there is going to be a transfer of power in this province, and it certainly seems like there will be, it shouldn't happen behind closed doors," she said on Tuesday during a brief press conference.
Under Canadian law, she does not have to resign, since her party won the most seats in the legislature. She said she expects the legislature will test the confidence of the government in "short order", possibly as soon as early June.
If her party fails this vote of confidence, than it is up to to the province's lieutenant governor, who is appointed by the Queen, to either call another election or call on the NDP to lead.
Ms Clark said she would not request another election so soon after May's election, but that it is in the hands of BC Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon.
Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver said his party will support the NDP for four years in a "stable minority government". Mr Weaver was careful to stress it would not be a coalition government and the Green Party would not have any seats in cabinet.
After 16 years in power, the BC Liberal Party has struggled recently amid high-profile donation scandals and a strong environmental movement in the province that vehemently opposes the oil and gas industry.
Mr Weaver said the Liberals' support of the Kinder Morgan pipeline was one of the main reasons why he decided to back Mr Horgan instead of Ms Clark. He and Mr Horgan say they will use "every tool available" to stop the pipeline's expansion.
The provincial Liberals are not related to the federal Liberal Party, which is led by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Carberry, 36, was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in July. He is expected to return to first-class action with his county this season.
"There is still a long way to go to being 'recovered' fully," the right-hander said in a Hampshire statement.
"The outpour of support from the cricket family has helped massively."
Carberry, who played six Tests and six one-day internationals for England, also asked the media to continue "respecting my privacy in dealing with my illness" and for it to continue upon his return to the game.
He resumed pre-season training with Hampshire in January and recently returned from a tour to Barbados with the county.
Hampshire begin their County Championship campaign in Division One away to Yorkshire on 7 April.
Bilgin Ciftci is accused of insulting the president for sharing images comparing Mr Erdogan and Gollum.
The experts will reportedly decide whether or not this was an insult.
It is not known precisely what criteria the experts will use to arrive at their decision.
The character of Gollum appears in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy by JRR Tolkien and the film versions directed by Peter Jackson.
He was first introduced in the Hobbit as "a small, slimy creature". In the Lord of the Rings his longing for the ring distorted his body and mind.

The judge took the decision after admitting he had not seen the whole of the Lord of the Rings series in which Gollum features.
The images shared by Mr Ciftci showed Mr Erdogan and Gollum in similar poses eating, expressing surprise and amazement.
The case has now been adjourned until February.
Insulting the president is a crime in Turkey, punishable by prison.
Turkey's record on freedom of speech and treatment of journalists has come in for criticism in recent years, with Mr Erdogan's administration seen as being increasingly intolerant of criticism.
Mr Erdogan's legal team has often backed cases brought by lawyers and private individuals against people who have allegedly insulted him.

Ch Insp Huw Jones said: "Even experienced and competent drivers can be easily distracted and a slight lapse in concentration can have serious consequences.
"Smart phones are a key part of modern life and we are also seeing drivers being distracted whilst checking social media, reading their emails or accessing the internet. Drivers need to be aware that these actions carry the same danger and the same penalty.
"Our main message is clear; keep your eyes on the road. A lapse in concentration when driving can be devastating and this is why officers from all four Welsh forces will be carrying out proactive patrols to target motorists who endanger road users in this way."
Susan Storch, chairwoman of Road Safety Wales, said: "Driving a vehicle requires us to multi-task so anything above and beyond that needs to wait until we are safely parked up or until our journey has finished.
"No call or text is that important."
Last month, lorry driver Tomasz Kroker was jailed for 10 years after killing a mother and three children while distracted by his phone on the A34 in Berkshire.
Deputy PM Hussein Shahristani said a total of 335 prisoners had been released in the last week.
He apologised "on behalf of the Iraqi state" to those who had suffered prolonged detention.
Across the country, tens of thousands of Sunni Muslims have been complaining of alleged discrimination.
Mr Shahristani heads a committee formed by Prime Minster Nouri Maliki to look into the demands of the protesters.
There have been three weeks of demonstrations, in predominantly Sunni provinces of Iraq.
The release of detainees held without charges has been one of the main demands.
Dozens of prisoners in yellow Iraqi prison uniforms were surrounded by guards during a release ceremony at a ceremony at a Baghdad prison.
AP news agency reported that those being freed were handed Korans and given sweets as television cameras rolled.
Mr Shahristani admitted that the prisoners had been held unlawfully because of "bureaucratic procedures in different government departments".
No details were given about the inmates or their alleged crimes, but Reuters reported the detainees' jail terms had been dismissed because of a lack of evidence.

They have now been referred to the Adjudication Panel for Wales.
He could face suspension for up to a year as a councillor or disqualification as a councillor for up to five years.
Mr McEvoy, who is a Fairwater councillor, described the referral as a "politically motivated trial".
A number of complaints have been investigated by the Public Services Ombudsman, who referred the case to the panel.
They relate to three breaches of the councillors' code of conduct which say that:
The referral is an unusual development.
Few complaints end up going this far. Last year, the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales dealt with 112 complaints against county councillors and only one was passed on to the adjudication panel.
Mr McEvoy said: "My real concern is how politically motivated this case is.
"Since being elected as an AM I've been exposing the questionable government grants being given out by Labour and shining a light on lobbying and land deals which have lost millions of pounds of taxpayers' money."
He said: "I have requested that the hearings take place in public and that they broadcast live like council and assembly meetings. I have absolutely nothing to hide.
"I am also requesting that the matter be dealt with as a matter of urgency within the next few weeks, or be dealt with after May's election.
"I think the ultimate aim of those involved is to prevent me from standing for election in May. There are serious vested interests in Cardiff who do not want me making decisions after May."
The ombudsman could have referred the matter to the standards committee of Cardiff council but a referral to the Adjudication Panel for Wales is more serious because the potential sanctions are more severe.
As well as being an AM for South Wales Central, Mr McEvoy is a councillor for the Fairwater area of the city and a former deputy leader of the local authority.
Any suspension would have major implications for his ability to stand in council elections in the spring.
A Plaid Cymru spokeswoman said: "Neil is a hard working AM and councillor who always gives 100% for his constituents. Neil has provided a personal statement.
"It would not be appropriate for the party to comment on any proceedings but we trust that this matter will be dealt with in a fair, swift, open and transparent manner."
In response to the claim from Mr McEvoy that the action against him is politically motivated, a spokesman for the ombudsman Nick Bennett said: "It is the ombudsman's role to consider and investigate complaints made to him about the conduct of local authority members.
"Following an investigation into a complaint made against Cardiff Councillor Neil McEvoy it was concluded that the resultant report should be referred to the Adjudication Panel for Wales."
"It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."
A message on Simon Binner's LinkedIn profile read: "I died in Switzerland with Eternal Spirit on 19 Oct 2015 and my funeral was on 13 Nov 2015."
He added: "There is nothing that I can say that's positive about MND."
In a YouTube video his wife Debbie Binner said he "strongly" believed he had the right to choose when he died.
The businessman, a 57-year-old Cambridge University graduate from Purley, Croydon, wrote that the disease accelerated "very rapidly" after he was diagnosed in January.
He added: "I don't recommend MND! Better to have one massive fatal stroke or be killed instantly by a drunk driver! "
In the video, Mrs Binner said her husband was rushed into choosing when he would die because assisted suicide is illegal in the UK.
She added: "He doesn't want to go to Switzerland and he doesn't want to go into a hospital. He wants to be at home as much as possible with his friends and family.
"And I think the most important thing to say is that Simon believes if that was available in the UK he may well want to stay alive longer.
"Christmas would be lovely for us to have Simon."
Mr Binner said: "I don't want to go to Switzerland either.
"I want to be here for Christmas but I can't be because I don't know. I have to go."
Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy composed the work for Thursday's ceremony at Leicester Cathedral.
Cumberbatch, who will play the king in a BBC Two drama, has been identified as a distant cousin, Leicester University said.
Richard's remains will be laid to rest on Thursday and his tomb inside the cathedral unveiled on Friday.
The poem, simply called Richard, is described as a "meditation on the impact of his finding and the legacy of his story".
The cathedral said Cumberbatch is "looking forward" to the service and has a "passion to know more" about the king because of his role in the drama.
Ms Duffy said: "It is a privilege to be involved, in a small way, in this unique event and to have seen the style and grace with which the city of Leicester has made history alive."
The 14-line poem includes the phrase "grant me the carving of my name" which will finally be achieved with the unveiling of his tomb on Friday.
The University of Leicester revealed Cumberbatch was a third cousin, 16 times removed of the Plantagenet king.
Since Sunday, the city has been marking his reburial and thousands of people have turned out to view his coffin.
Richard, the last English king to die in battle, was killed at Bosworth Field in 1485, at the end of the Wars of the Roses.
His skeleton was found under a car park in Leicester in 2012.

Three skateboarders turned the temporarily dry slides of a hotel's water park into their playground.
For a couple of days a year the Atlantis Water Park in Dubai, in the Middle East, gets closed down for maintenance work.
This park houses some of the largest water rides in the world.
The plug was pulled on the Zoomerango and Aquaconda rides, which are currently the largest water rides on Earth.
Thousands of litres of water were drained so Jan Hoffmann, Alex Sorgente and Milton Martinez made the most of the dry surroundings.
They flipped, spun and slid their way through the monster rides.
Even though they made it look easy only the best riders could take part because it was so dangerous.

The Royal Tank Regiment soldier died on Thursday after he was injured at Castlemartin Range on Wednesday.
Another member of the regiment also died and two more were seriously injured in the incident, which is understood to have involved ammunition.
The MoD, Dyfed-Powys Police and the Health and Safety Executive are investigating.
Minister for Defence, People and Veterans, Tobias Ellwood, announced the second death on Thursday night.
He said: "Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time."
Flags at the camp were lowered to half mast after the MOD announced the first death on Thursday morning.
It has also suspended tank live firing as a precaution following the incident.
What is Castlemartin Range?
Mr Ellwood said: "The safety of our personnel is our absolute priority and a full investigation is under way to understand the details of this tragic incident."
The 1st and 2nd Royal Tank Regiments merged in August 2014 to form The Royal Tank Regiment, which is based in Tidworth, Wiltshire.
The Army's website said the regiment was "preparing for a live fire exercise at Castlemartin in Wales", which was scheduled to take place at the range between Monday and Friday.
Castlemartin, opened by the War Office in 1938, covers 5,900 acres on the south Pembrokeshire coast.
In May 2012, Ranger Michael Maguire died during a live firing exercise at the training base. An inquest later found he was unlawfully killed.
Josh Ginnelly, on loan from Burnley, converted Ryan Crowther's cross to give Altrincham the lead.
But Simon Heslop's glancing header from Kayden Jackson's cross brought Wrexham level before the interval.
Robbie Evans, Blaine Hudson and Connor Jennings all had good opportunities to secure victory for the visitors in the second half.
Gary Mills' Wrexham are 12th in the table, four points behind the play-off spots, while Altrincham remain in 19th.
Wrexham manager Gary Mills told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "You don't get many games where you get chances like we have had in the second half and haven't taken them.
"It's come back to bite us again and another two points have gone missing.
"We know we need to win games now. We're four points off that fifth spot and it's still up for grabs."
The PSNI told the The Nolan Show that it had received a "very small number of allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse linked to football clubs".
It is not yet known which clubs are linked to the investigations.
More than 20 former footballers in the UK have come forward with allegations of historical abuse in the sport.
To date, 55 amateur and professional football clubs are linked to claims of abuse and 350 people have alleged they are victims.
The PSNI are the latest police force to confirm it has opened investigations, joining 20 others across the UK.
The Mega Week and Dip into Paradise prize-winning ticket was drawn on 3 February.
It has the winning UK Millionaire Maker code ZXPR 17675 but no-one has come forward.
The ticket-holder only has until 2 August to make their claim.
Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at The National Lottery, said: "We're urging everyone to check their old tickets one final time or look anywhere a missing EuroMillions ticket could be hiding.
"This life-changing prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there."
If no-one comes forward, the money plus interest will go towards National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
Paul Hay, 51, of Innerleithen, pleaded guilty to the breach of the peace at the property in Horsburgh Street.
He admitted threatening others with violence, setting fire to the stairs and brandishing a can of petrol and two blow torches in September last year.
He also threw items from the house and threatened to kill police officers. Sentence was deferred.
Hay was remanded in custody and the case will be recalled at Selkirk Sheriff Court on 19 January.
The former Northern Ireland player, 47, had been charged with common assault against the 14-year-old on 7 January.
A prosecutor told Antrim Magistrates' Court on Tuesday that the charge would be replaced with a binding-over order.
Mr Magilton was bound over with a £500 bond and the judge warned he faces five days in jail if he breaks the order.
The prosecution lawyer said the order had been agreed "in the usual terms - to keep the peace and be of good behaviour" for the next 12 months.
Mr Magilton, from Aberfoyle Gardens in Belfast, is the current Northern Ireland Under-21 team manager and the Irish Football Association's elite performance director.
At an earlier hearing, the court was told that police believed Mr Magilton had hit his stepdaughter "a couple of slaps to the head and allegedly dragged her down the stairs by the arms".
But a defence solicitor had said that Mr Magilton did not accept that allegation against him and gave a "full account" during police interviews.
Mr Magilton won 52 international caps for Northern Ireland, scoring five goals.
He started his playing career with Liverpool before joining Oxford United, and he also played for Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town.
His playing career ended at Ipswich in 2006, having made over 250 league appearances, before he managed the club.
Bangladesh levelled the three-match series with an 34-run win on Sunday.
But the hosts were also in a strong position in the opening match before a dramatic collapse gave England the win.
"We know that if we put them under pressure - like we saw in the first game - they can crack a bit more than the bigger sides," said Moeen, 29.
Earlier this year, Bangladesh lost to India in the ICC World Twenty20, despite needing only two runs from three balls to win.
"They messed that up as well," Moeen added. "We know it will take them a bit more time to get over that kind of stuff.
"It took us years and years and we still sometimes, under pressure, don't play as well."
Bangladesh are going for a seventh 50-over series win in a row, a run that includes victories over India, Pakistan and South Africa.
"They are a good side with some very good players," Moeen said. "They are hard to beat at home - we don't have that sort of record at home."
England captain Jos Buttler was reprimanded following the second match of the series after he reacted angrily to a "send-off" from the Bangladesh players when he was dismissed on review.
"Both teams have players who can get a bit heated," said Moeen. "It just spices things up a little more and now hopefully we can come out on top."
Moses John and his mother Pauline Watson disappeared from their home in Northamptonshire in May 2015 and are thought to be in London.
Moses, 14, who has special educational needs, was at the centre of family court litigation.
Police have now said it is likely Ms Watson has attended church services.
Investigating officers want church ministers or members of congregations to come forward if they have information.
Det Sgt Nickie Deeks of Northamptonshire Police said: "It is likely that Moses' mother has attended church services
"It may even be that she has asked a clergyman for help or advice."
Moses is black and about 5ft 9in (178cm) tall. His mother is also black and around 5ft 7in (174cm).
They said Ms Watson is from Jamaica and is thought to have links to areas of London including Croydon, Islington, Merton, Sutton, Southwark and Lambeth.
Det Sgt Deeks added: "We would urge all clergymen, church ministers and churchgoers - particularly in the London area - to think very carefully about whether they might have seen or had contact with Moses or his mother.
"They may have been faces in a congregation, they may have been at church events, they may have needed help.
"We would urge anyone who thinks they might have any information to please get in touch."
Mr Justice Keehan said in May that Moses was vulnerable.
"I am gravely concerned for his welfare," the judge said.
"It is imperative, in his welfare best interests, that his current whereabouts are made known."
The figure is down 1% on the equivalent number for last year which was a record high.
The drop across the UK as a whole is significantly greater.
The Scottish government noted that the number of 18-year-old applicants from deprived areas still went up.
However, the number of applicants from EU countries fell 5%, suggesting uncertainty surrounding Brexit may have deterred some people from applying to study in Scotland.
Universities Scotland noted the number of Scottish applications was down by about 2,000 but said this followed a record high last year and it did not see the fall as a cause for concern.
A spokeswoman said: "The appetite for university remains very high amongst Scots. This year's applications by the January deadline are still 13% up on just four years ago.
"The very modest levelling-off from last year's peak in applications will do little to take the pressure off places given the very high standard of applicants."
The number of applications from EU countries also fell by around 2,000. EU students who start courses this year will be entitled to free tuition on the same terms as Scottish applicants.
This is currently required under EU law and the Scottish government has confirmed it will ensure EU students who begin their courses this year will be entitled to free tuition until they graduate although the expectation is that the UK will have left the EU by then.
The number of applications from other parts of the UK and countries outside the EU - all of whom are charged tuition fees in one form or another - rose.
Scottish and EU students in effect compete against each other for the same free places - the drop in the number of applicants could make it slightly easier for some applicants to get in. Universities can decide for themselves how many paying students from the rest of the UK and countries outside the EU to let in.
Scottish government education minister Shirley-Anne Somerville said: "The initial UCAS applicant figures for 2017 show that, in the face of a general decline in applicants to universities across the UK, the number of applicants to Scottish institutions has remained broadly steady."
She added: "This is welcome, but the SFC statistics show that the entry rate into universities from the most deprived areas among young people during 2015-16 fell back slightly.
"We know we have much more work to do on widening access, and since this cohort applied to university we have committed to implementing the recommendations from the Commission on Widening Access and appointed our Fair Access Commissioner, Prof Peter Scott, to drive this agenda across the country."
After months of speculation, Birmingham International Holdings Ltd has made a statement to the HK Stock Exchange announcing that Trillion Trophy Asia Ltd has become the preferred bidder.
Trillion Trophy has promised the club a loan facility of £12.5m.
That will be secured against the club's 109-year-old home at St Andrew's.
The club will also get an initial deposit of £880,000 as security for their bank loans with HSBC in the UK.
If they fail to come up with either of these sums the exclusivity period will be terminated.
Ernst & Young, the receivers who have been running Birmingham International Holdings Ltd since February, had already stated that seven different offers have been made, one of which was then shortlisted.
Carson Yeung, the club's former chairman, who was was jailed for six years in March 2014 for money laundering, lost his appeal in May.
Its debt reduction target is now $13bn from the previous target of $10.2bn.
As a result, Glencore aims to cut its total debt to about $18bn (£11.8bn) by the end of 2016, down from a target in the "low 20 billions".
Earlier this week, rival Anglo American announced major restructuring plans.
Anglo said it would sell huge chunks of its business and shrink its workforce by nearly two-thirds.
Shares in Glencore closed up 7.7% at 89.5p on Thursday, but the stock has lost 70% of its value this year.
Glencore also announced it would cut its capital expenditure plans to $5.7bn for 2015 from $6bn, and to $3.8bn in 2016 from $5bn.
The mining sector has come under pressure because slowing global demand for raw materials - largely thanks to a slowdown in economic growth in China - has seen commodity prices fall to their lowest level in several years, with iron ore at a 10-year low.
Glencore is trying to reduce $30bn of debt, created by its ambitious 2013 takeover of Xstrata. That deal added dozens of mines in numerous countries to the commodity trader's business, leaving it as one of the world's biggest miners and traders of the products of those mines.
The company has so far cut production at some of its mines and has suspended dividend payments to shareholders.
In October, Glencore said it had started the sales process for its Australian copper mine in Cobar, New South Wales, and its Lomas Bayas copper mine in the Atacama desert in Chile.
It is also looking to sell a minority stake in its agriculture business.
Glencore said a range of parties had expressed interest in buying a stake in the agriculture business and there had also been interest in the copper mines.
It expects initial bids by mid-December and the deals done by the first half of 2016.
The 21-year-old picked up the injury racing at an event in Belgium.
"Local doctors told me it takes four to six weeks to recover and I shouldn't really be riding my bike," Garner told BBC Radio Leicester.
"But I have spoken to sports doctors and they said whenever you feel you can ride, then you can. I only had one day off, then I was back on the rollers."
Garner, who rides for the Wiggle Honda team, crashed in the Keukens van Lommel Ladies Classic race in Herselt.
"I had just started the race," added Garner. "I was actually at the front of the peloton, making sure I was ready for any attacks that might happen.
"Suddenly I saw this girl just in front of me and she just flew to the left. I was on the right and although I had to move a little bit, I thought I would miss it.
"But suddenly I found myself over the handlebars, flying to the other side of the road, and I just landed straight onto a barrier with my ribs.
"I knew straight away something wasn't right and I had a lot of pain. I was on the floor gasping for breath and I knew it wasn't good and I needed to go to hospital."
Despite Garner being back on the bike, the injury means she is missing from the Women's Tour which got under way on Wednesday.
"This is most serious injury I've had," added Garner. "I knocked a few teeth out when I was 12 on my bike.
"But I can already manage three hours on the bike on the road. I am actually happy with how it is going considering it has been just over a week."
He collected what people threw away and tried to sell it so that he could feed his family in the tiny village of Garijala.
He took the train from Calcutta to Sangrampur. Before heading home he went to one of the local illegal liquor dens to have a drink.
He paid 10 rupees (19 US cents) for a one-litre plastic bag filled with alcohol. It was the last drink he had.
The shop he bought it from has been smashed up.
Outside it there is still a large crowd. They are angry. One man tells me that the police take bribes and let them run these illegal drinking shacks.
Another says the main man behind the lucrative business has run away. He points to the police camp which is just in front of them. "What where they doing?" he asks.
These shacks are where India's poor come to drink. To try to forget their daily struggle to survive.
West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has ordered an inquiry into what happened. She has also promised to shut down the illegal drinking dens. But few here think that anything will change.
Just a few kilometres down from Sangrampur is Mafizur's village.
It is a snapshot of the poverty of rural West Bengal. It has open sewers and the 200 families who reside here live in mud huts.
Three people have died here after drinking the toxic alcohol.
One of the bodies has just been buried among the bamboo trees. The women of this village are sat in a circle crying for those they have lost.
The lifeless body of Mazifur is in the middle, waiting to be buried.
He still has a hospital sticker with his name on his forehead. His mother is sitting with her grandson on her lap.
She said when he arrived home on Tuesday he had dinner and went to bed. On Wednesday morning when he woke up he was vomiting and feeling dizzy. They rushed him to the district hospital at Diamond Harbour. As his condition worsened, he was transferred to Calcutta. He died on the way.
He is one of many. More than 125 people have died and many more are in a critical condition.
At the district hospital the corridor is lined with people fighting for their lives. Their saline drips are attached to the windows as there is not enough space for them.
Ali Hasan Ullah is so weak that he can hardly speak. He is scared after seeing so many people die around him.
He tells me how he had a drink on Wednesday afternoon, almost 24 hours after the first deaths had been reported.
He is one of the many patients that Dr Saikat Kundu is treating here.
For the past few days he has had been working around the clock. Every hour, more and more patients are arriving at this hospital.
From what he has seen, he says that the symptoms point to methyl alcohol poisoning.
It must have been in large quantities as many patients died before they even reached the hospital.
He points outside to where the bodies are piled up in a small cart.
As I walk down the corridor there is a large crowd outside the office of the man in charge of this hospital, Chiranjit Murmu.
"We can't cope with the number of patients coming," he tells me. He says it is difficult to know what the exact numbers are because so many people died in the villages and their bodies have not yet been brought to the hospital.
Back in Garijala they are getting ready to bury Mafizur's body.
There are similar scenes in villages across this district.
The people who live here are among India's poorest.
The government has promised them compensation. But many here are sceptical as to whether they will ever receive it. For many, one drink has destroyed their lives.
The review he ordered is due to report by the end of the week.
The implants caused a health scare after French authorities found a rupture rate of 5% and recommended implants were removed.
However, figures in the UK have suggested a much lower rate.
Mr Lansley told the BBC: "The overwhelming evidence continues to support the advice we've given women previously.
"It is not advisable for women to routinely have implants removed because the risk associated with an operation of that kind would outweigh the benefit of removing these implants."
The implants by the French firm Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) were banned in 2010 after they were found to contain industrial grade silicone gel, rather than medical grade and had an increased risk of rupturing.
However, data from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) suggested that the rupture rate was 1% - in line with other implants.
It led the chief medical officer for England, Prof Dame Sally Davies, to say before Christmas that: "We currently have no evidence to make us think they should have the PIP breast implants removed.
However, Mr Lansley ordered a review of rupture rates after conflicting data was submitted. Some reports suggested a rate of up to 7% in the UK.
Q&A: Breast implants health scare
PIP breast implants: Your stories
'Fuel additive in breast implant'
The organisation which represents the majority of UK private breast implant clinics says the rupture rate of the banned PIP implants is not abnormally high.
The Independent Healthcare Advisory Services (IHAS) has submitted evidence to the investigation collected from thousands of patients with companies including Transform, The Harley Medical Group, Spire Healthcare, BMI Hospitals and The Hospital Group.
Its director Sally Taber said: "Following an audit of our members, which includes data on thousands of patients...we can confirm that the average rupture rates reported for PIP implants are within the industry standard of 1-2%."
About 40,000 British women have been fitted with the implants.
Tim Goodacre, president of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), said: "Even if the rate is 1-2% I am still concerned as that is higher than the normal rate."
Fazel Fatah, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, said there were "many reasons for these figures not being reliable".
He said implants may have ruptured without the patient knowing or patients may have changed private clinicians or moved into NHS care if there was a problem.
"We do not know the exact rupture rate in the UK," he added.
The health secretary acknowledged that data from private companies had been "inconsistent" and was sometimes "inadequate" and of "poor quality".
He said he recognised it was a "worrying time" for women who had had PIP implants fitted and he said providers had responsibilities to their patients.
"For any provider not to fulfil those responsibilities would be unacceptable, " Mr Lansley said.
"Let me be absolutely clear, all affected women should be able to find out details of their implant free of charge.
"And I want every woman to be supported by the provider who treated them," he added.
This morning Mr Lansley held discussions with the chief medical officer, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, the NHS medical director who is to lead the review of the rupture rate data.
Sir Bruce said: "I expect all providers of surgical services to monitor their results.
"So I am disappointed at the ability of some private providers to submit accurate and meaningful data. I am pursuing this with vigour."
Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman said: "We need to let Sir Bruce Keogh conduct the review before thinking about the next steps."
The full review group will meet tomorrow to discuss the preliminary findings. An announcement is expected by the end of the week.
Globally more than 300,000 implants are believed to have been sold to 65 countries by PIP over the last 12 years.
More than half of its exports went to South America.
New community sentences will be introduced for those convicted of knife possession, while an extra £625,000 has been pledged for knife crime projects.
The mayor of London said the strategy "brings together" organisations and communities "to solve this problem".
But the Conservatives said Mr Khan's measures had come "far too late".
This year, up to 18 June, 24 people under the age of 25 have been fatally stabbed on London's streets.
On Monday the Met launched three separate murder investigations following stabbings in Canning Town, East Ham and Islington.
The extra money pledged will increase the total spending by the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) on knife and gang projects to more than £7m.
Other measures announced as part of the strategy include:
Mr Khan said: "No young Londoner should have to accept crime and violence as a way of life.
"We are working to provide them with the skills, the resources and the confidence they need to turn away from knives and lead the life they deserve in our city."
However, Conservative London Assembly member Tony Arbour said it was "disappointing that we've had to wait over a year for the mayor to take action".
He added that while he supported the increasing use of stop and search, the strategy as a whole "contains too few tangible targets... so it will be hard to tell whether or not it's been successful."
The DG One site was shut in October 2014 for remedial works expected to take about 18 months.
However, an ongoing wrangle with contractors has put the start of those repairs on hold.
It means permission is being sought to keep a temporary replacement swimming pool in place for an extra 22 months.
The council revealed on Thursday that it hoped to agree an out-of-court settlement with contractors "very soon".
A planning application to extend the use of the temporary pool reveals that work is not likely to start before the middle of this year.
It said the council was committed to ensuring there was no "gap in swimming provision" and asked for an extension of permission for the facility in the car park at Dumfries Ice Bowl.
It would allow the pool to stay in place until April 2018 while work on the DG One leisure centre was completed.
It's after the singer travelled without approval for a concert and failed to complete community service on time - he's required to perform work such as graffiti removal.
The 25-year-old star has been on probation since 2009 for attacking his then-girlfriend, Rihanna.
Judge James Brandlin allowed Brown to remain free until a hearing in March.
Brown was ordered not to leave Los Angeles County without permission in December by probation officials.
The Grammy Award-winning singer performed in San Jose, just south of San Francisco, without asking if he could travel.
The star's lawyer Mark Geragos told Brandlin that his office incorrectly advised Brown that he didn't need permission.
Five people were shot at the nightclub that Chris Brown was performing at on Sunday morning.
Brown was supposed to complete 1,000 hours of community service by the end of January, but he still has around 200 hours to complete.
Brown appeared in court with his mother and girlfriend
In another case in October 2013, Brown struck a man outside a Washington, D.C., hotel and was charged with misdemeanour assault.
Brandlin ordered Brown into rehab, but the singer was expelled from the programme in March 2014.
He spent two-and-a-half months in custody before being released in June.

But it has asked Russian officials to explain what role seven others played in alleged state-sponsored doping.
The IBU opened an inquiry last month into 29 unnamed athletes named in the report.
It now says that "there is not sufficient evidence" to continue investigating 22 of them.
The competitors implicated ranged from Olympic medal winners to regional-level or junior athletes with no major achievements.
Two more athletes who were already suspended remain so and are being investigated by the International Olympic Committee.
The IBU statement follows a petition signed by many top biathletes calling for tough action on the issue of doping. The IBU said the petition was "appreciated and taken seriously".
The federation's executive board will meet on 9 February, the day the World Championships start in Hochfilzen, Austria, to decide on the status of the seven athletes still under investigation.
Earlier this month, the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) lifted the provisional suspension of four Russian skeleton athletes who were suspended following the second McLaren report.
The IBSF said there was currently "insufficient evidence" to continue the suspension.
"Gerard Depardieu was very insistent," Thierry Fremaux told the Associated Press.
"He really wanted us to show it."
Fremaux had initially turned down United Passions, but eventually agreed to an open-air public screening on the beach.
"At the beginning I said 'Out of the question', because the film lack[ed] the quality to be part of the official selection," he said.
"Then they said, 'Why not on the beach?'. I said, 'Ah, the beach. Yes, it's a festival. It's football. It's the general public. Okay'."
Depardieu attended the screening with then-Fifa president Sepp Blatter, who recently resigned from his post amidst the corruption scandal that has engulfed world football's governing body.
Fifa largely paid for the £17m film out of its own coffers, only to see it mauled by the critics and flop at the US box office.
The film, in which Tim Roth plays Blatter and Depardieu plays Fifa founder Jules Rimet, went straight to DVD in France and has been released in only a handful of other countries.
However Fremaux refused to pour yet more scorn on the film, saying he did not "find the movie horrible at all".
Mixu Paatelainen succeeded Jackie McNamara but United are 13 points adrift at the foot of the table.
Thompson apologised to supporters for "abysmal" performances.
"We have failed miserably on the pitch with only three wins in 25 league matches and an early exit from the League Cup," said Thompson.

"The current position [in the league] is wholly unacceptable."
United fell to a 3-0 home defeat by Motherwell at Tannadice on Tuesday and have 13 league games remaining this season.
Paatelainen took up the managerial reins in October and described as "wonderful" returning to manage a club he starred for as a player.
Thompson, in a statement on the club's website, challenged the playing squad to preserve their top-flight status and restore their reputations.
"It is not where Dundee United should be under any circumstance," the chairman added.
"The board and myself have made certain decisions in the last 18 months which in hindsight were incorrect but were made for the greater good of the club and with the ambition of maintaining our position at the top of Scottish football, something we have done successfully for the last eight years.
"This included supporting a playing squad that commands the third highest wage bill in the Ladbrokes Premiership.
"However, we have failed miserably on the pitch with only three wins in 25 league matches and an early exit from the League Cup. Performances such as last night simply cannot be tolerated.
"The current playing squad now have 13 matches to preserve the club's Premiership status and redeem their own professional reputations."
Speaking following Tuesday's defeat by Motherwell, Paatelainen said: "We were very flat and that performance was not acceptable.
"The first two goals were set-pieces and it's cost us. It's been the story of the season conceding goals like that and it's simply not good enough."
A revolutionary plan and the collective will to carry it through changed their fortunes and culminated in Sunday's 1-0 win over Argentina.
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has challenged England to win the World Cup in 2022 - so can the low of group-stage exit in Brazil be one day viewed as the bust before the boom?
BBC Sport examines how, and indeed if, England can 'do a Germany'.
Exiting a major tournament at the group stage, as England did this summer, will sound familiar to Germany.
They finished bottom of their group at Euro 2000 and, although they reached the World Cup final in 2002, failed once again to progress to the knockout stages at Euro 2004. That led to a pivotal moment for the country and the national team - the decision that a radical overhaul was needed.
Along with his assistant Joachim Low, new coach Jurgen Klinsmann set about restructuring German football. The path to do so was challenged by many.
But the German football association, the DFB, put "a lot of pressure" on clubs to develop academy programmes.
"We held workshops with coaches and players, asking them to write down on flip charts three things: how they wanted to play, how they wanted to be seen to be playing by the rest of the world and how the German public wanted to see us playing," said Klinsmann in 2010, the year Germany reached the semi-finals of the World Cup.
While the Football Association in England does support the Premier League's Elite Player Performance Programme - which aims to enhance youth development - total unity on a direction has proven elusive.
"People who write, 'England should follow the German route', are oblivious to the obstacles or believe in magic wands," tweeted Gary Neville on the complexity of creating a holistic approach.
Unity was fundamental in Germany's approach, according to Lutz Pfannenstiel, head of scouting at Bundesliga side Hoffenheim.
"I think there was not one important part of the system Jurgen started, it was the whole thing. If you lifted one part of the skeleton out, it wouldn't work," said Pfannenstiel, who played for 25 different clubs.
"You cannot take it and use it in any country. For example, if you were to use this in Brazil now, with the size of the country, you would need 50 years longer maybe because of all the states and different leagues."
At the same time, Germany invested more in the players' education, increasing the number of elite coaches.
The reward of that is clear today, with, Uefa data suggesting the country boasts 6,934 coaches holding Uefa's A and Pro qualification badges. England, meanwhile, has 1,457. Furthermore, there are 21,731 holders of Uefa B badges in Germany, compared to 9,420 in England.
But while the number of elite coaches may be lower than in some other European countries, the FA says England has the largest and most comprehensive age-specific coaching setup in the continent, awarding 40,000 qualifications a year.

Coaching methods have also been redefined and that, coupled with the opening of the FA's centre of excellence St George's Park in 2012, means it is an area that is not only increasing in quality, but is also becoming a benchmark other Football Associations appear keen to copy.
Interestingly, a delegation from the DFB were visitors to Burton-upon-Trent last month on a fact-finding mission, observing one of the FA's youth coach education programmes.
"Since the end of 2009 we have been developing a new pathway for children to learn and play the game which focuses on skill and technique development, so smaller-sided version of the game," Nick Levett, FA's National Development Manager, told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"In terms of coaching, we are very much leading the way around Europe in youth and age-appropriate coaching qualifications.
"There is a huge amount going on but ultimately it is a 10-year plan. It is a bit like gardening. You stick a bulb in the ground and you don't get a flower the next day. It is a long-term thing."
The core of Germany's World Cup-winning squad came through the international youth ranks together.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, defenders Mats Hummels, Benedikt Howedes and Jerome Boateng and midfielders Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil all started the 2009 Under-21 European Championship final, in which they trounced England. All but the injured Khedira were in the starting XI against Argentina.
A seventh player from that crop - Fabian Johnson - was also in Brazil as part of the United States squad.
Meanwhile, the only player from England's 23-man World Cup squad to have played in that 2009 final was James Milner.
The likes of Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana, Raheem Sterling and Ross Barkley had not played in a major tournament at under-21 level, with the latter three playing less than 10 games at that age group. In contrast, the six who featured for Germany in 2009 all made at least 15 appearances before progressing to the senior side.
"That is something we could learn from Germany," former England defender Phil Neville said. "Germany keep a core of players together and they are exposing them to championship football at U21 level.
"We could have had six or seven of our World Cup squad at the last U21 tournament but we did not take them.
"That is something we could look to improve upon because if they did, that batch of players could then go on to go to a World Cup together two years later."
The likes of Neuer, Ozil and Khedira came through the DFB's talent development programme, introduced as part of German football's youth development overhaul.
Similarly, in 2011 the Premier League introduced the EPPP, a four-tiered academy system designed to expose developing footballers to the best coaching and education.
It is a system that Neville believes works, but his concern lies with what happens to those players once they graduate from the youth ranks.
"I believe we are producing a better technical players than we have ever done," he said. "Our players were always technically inferior to foreign ones but now there are English players who are technically as good as those from overseas at the same age.
"The biggest problem is the gap from 19 to 21, where players lose their way a little bit because they are not getting the opportunity.
"I broke into the first team at 17. Now the young players are not breaking in until they're 21, 22. They need to be getting in younger. They lose 12-18 months of their career by not getting enough experience of the top level.
"This is the biggest area for me that we need to address."
After England's exit in Brazil, manager Roy Hodgson was asked if a successful national team and thriving Premier League could co-exist.
The statistics suggest that may be a struggle. English players contributed to only 32% of the minutes played in the Premier League's first three months of last season, compared to 50% of home-grown players in Germany and 58% in Spain.
Indeed, only the Cypriot league boasts more overseas talent than England's top flight, according to a study of 31 countries carried out by the Centre International d'Etude du Sport in January.
"We want the best players in the world coming to the Premier League. The only way players can get better is by playing with the best," added Neville, who believes work is under way on an English plan to blood more talent.
"It is the rung below that we don't want. They are filling the spaces available to young players and that is what we don't want - the middle and lower tier of foreign players."
English managers have long cited the fact home talent is overpriced as a reason to scour the globe, with in excess of 1,500 foreign players arriving in the Premier League since its inception in 1992.
The club-over-country power struggle is one Germany can stomach, with strong lines of communication and a collaborative process in place between the Bundesliga and the DFB.
Working for the greater good does not shackle the individual cogs in the system, either. While no other league can match the Premier League's record TV deal - £3.018bn over three years - the Bundesliga yields around £2bn for a four-year package.
It remains the only one of Europe's major five leagues in which TV revenue is not the largest revenue source, instead generating money through the highest attendance figures and by maintaining lower wage levels.
Point four in Dyke's report into improving the game domestically is that England "lags behind in the quantity and quality of affordable grassroots facilities".
Indeed, the FA's own grassroots survey in 2011 returned a damning finding, as 84% of respondents identified facilities as the biggest issue facing the game.
Strain on the system is high - with 3.5 million five-to-15-year-olds playing each month and some 6.5 million adults claiming to play the sport - but funding is scarce.
To avoid the typical abandonment of winter football at youth level, artificial 3G pitches are in demand and England boasts 639.
By comparison, Germany has over 5,000 - a number stimulated greatly by the fact they are funded by government and local authorities.
"Facility wise at the elite level, there is not much difference in the academies of the top clubs," added Pfannenstiel, who recently visited Aston Villa to share ideas.
"Where things are better in Germany is the surrounding facilities. So for example, we are willing to use gyms with newer technology and different medical approaches, working with more futuristic methods if you like.
"Also, we tie a close link in between football and education, so a player at an academy can do his studies, have the psychological help he may need and specific support, so it is a full A to Z coaching approach."
The Premier League and FA Facilities Fund, managed by the Football Foundation, commits £34m per year to grassroots facilities. This includes £12m a year each from the FA and Premier League, and £10m from the government.
The contributions are not enough according to the Local Government Association and it seems more spending, more coaches and a collaborative approach will be needed if one day countries will aim to 'do an England'.
For BBC pundit and former England striker Alan Shearer, the national team "still has a long way to go", adding: "We have to be able to organise and get further in the World Cup than we have done. This tournament has proved you don't have to have great players all over the park to progress."
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker is more optimistic.
"It was massively disappointing to go out after two games and so early in the tournament, but I saw enough in those games to suggest the future is not as bleak as I thought it was four years ago," he said.
"With this bunch of young players, in two or four years' time, there is reason for hope."

Knole House in Sevenoaks, Kent, was taken over by the charity in 1946 and has battled costly decay problems.
Extensive repairs, part-funded by the National Lottery, have now been carried out in what the Trust described as its largest conservation project to date.
Specialists will also work on precious paintings and furniture in front of visitors in a newly created studio.
Live: more on this story and other news from Kent
The 15th Century house was formerly an Archbishop's palace and for 400 years was the home of the Sackville family. It also inspired Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando.
Some of the items undergoing treatment include the 17th Century Knole sofa, which inspired copies around the world.
The Royal 'Stool of Easement', an early toilet thought to have been used by Charles II, is also among the collection.
The King's Bedroom, with its suite of silver furniture and bed designed for a visit from James II, now features bespoke lighting and controlled heating systems to protect the collections.
Dame Helen Ghosh, the trust's director general, said: "Knole is one of the Trust's most important houses and this is an exciting moment where we can begin to open new spaces within this vast property to tell the story of its occupants and outstanding collections.
"The new conservation studio is a first-class space for our expert conservators to work on collections from Knole and across the trust, and share their expertise with our visitors."
The project was part-funded by a £7.75m lottery grant.

Williams' fellow Welshman Ryan Day is also through after a 4-2 win over England's Mike Dunn.
Williams, 40, will play Norway's Kurt Maflin, who beat Ireland's Leo Fernandez 4-1.
Earlier, home hope Matthew Stevens beat England's Martin O'Donnell 4-2, while Michael White beat Tom Ford 4-3.
However, Daniel Wells went down 4-1 to Hong Kong's Marco Fu.
Two-time world champion Williams, Wales' top-ranked player at 13th, was the last home winner back in 1999.
Meanwhile world number one Ronnie O'Sullivan defended opting for a 146 instead of 147 break in his opening-round win against Barry Pinches.
The deputy justice minister said the brutality of the men's crimes meant there was no reason to show mercy.
Campaigning human rights group Amnesty International has condemned the move as "cold-blooded killing".
The executions - by shooting - "made a mockery of the authorities' stated commitment to abolish the death penalty", Amnesty said in a statement.
"It is abhorrent to justify taking someone's life because prisons are overcrowded or the public's alleged support for the death penalty," the statement said.
The executions were carried out in three separate prisons in different parts of the country - two in the capital, Taipei, two in the central city of Taichung and two in the south of the island.
All six of the men had been convicted of murder.
The BBC's Cindy Sui, in Taipei, says the executions come at a time of inflamed public debate about the death penalty following the death of a boy in a video arcade.
Local media reported the 29-year-old suspect had said he would get life in prison at most "even if he were to kill two or three".
He also reportedly said he would get free room and board in prison.
The reports led to public calls for all of those on death row to be executed.
A spokeswoman for the ministry of justice said that the executions had been carried out on a Friday evening to avoid a strong public reaction.
Though religious and human rights groups oppose capital punishment, most victims' families are in favour, and surveys suggest that most of the population also support the death penalty.
The ministry said it has the obligation to carry out the law until there is public consensus on abolishing the death penalty.
According to the state-run Central News Agency, there are a total of 55 death row inmates following the executions.
Taiwan executed five prisoners in March 2011 and four in April 2010.
The 2010 executions were the first after a hiatus that had lasted since 2005, when it adopted an informal moratorium on the death penalty.
The parade through the city centre was part of the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) conference, which also celebrates its centenary.
Ahead of the event, South Wales Police launched an appeal to find the family of one of its first women officers, WPC1 Elsie Joan Baldwin.
Her relatives were among those to attend the event on Sunday.
South Wales Police's Ass Chf Cons Nikki Holland said the conference recognised the "huge contribution that women make towards policing" and was a place to discuss local and international issues and share best practice.
As well as tracing WPC1 Elsie Baldwin's family, the force has discovered more information about her fellow female colleagues.
ACC Holland added: "I believe that these women whose families we have met were incredible, not only having served in World War Two but also were among the first women to police south Wales leading the way for women, including myself, to forge a career in the police."
South Wales Police - formed after the Glamorgan Constabulary merged with Cardiff, Swansea and Merthyr Tydfil police forces - is hosting the International Association of Women in Policing training conference from 23-27 August.
As finance minister of then-President Nicolas Sarkozy, she approved an award of €404m ($429m; £340m) to Bernard Tapie for the disputed sale of a firm.
Mr Tapie had supported Mr Sarkozy in the 2007 presidential election.
She is accused of allowing the misuse of public funds, rather than corruption. She denies wrongdoing.
Lagarde faces French justice
Christine Lagarde, 'rock star' IMF head
The case originates in the early 1990s, when Mr Tapie was a majority shareholder in sports goods company Adidas.
After launching a political career and becoming a cabinet minister in Francois Mitterrand's Socialist government in 1992, Mr Tapie had to sell the company.
In 1993, he sued Credit Lyonnais, a state-owned bank that handled the sale, alleging that the bank had defrauded him by deliberately undervaluing the firm.
By 2007, the long-running case was referred by Ms Lagarde to binding arbitration. A three-member panel awarded the compensation a year later, causing a public outcry.
Last year, after eight more years of legal wrangling, a French court ruled that Mr Tapie had not been entitled to compensation and should repay the €404m.
Ms Lagarde, 60, is now facing the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) on charges of "negligence by a person in position of public authority".
The court, composed mostly of politicians rather than judges, handles allegations of crimes committed by cabinet ministers in office.
Ms Lagarde was sent to trial by CJR magistrates even though prosecutors had argued that the case should be dropped. The trial is due to last until 20 December.
If convicted, Ms Lagarde could face one year in prison.
She replaced Dominique Strauss-Kahn as IMF managing director in 2011.
Mr Strauss-Kahn - also a former French finance minister - resigned following his arrest in New York on charges of sexual assault that were later dropped.

After 270 council election results, the anti-immigration party won two seats but with a net loss of 11 councillors.
The BNP lost all five of its seats in Stoke-on-Trent, where it launched its election campaign in England, and one of its two councillors in Burnley.
BNP candidates finished ahead of Liberal Democrats in four seats in the Welsh Assembly, but failed to win any.
Before the vote, party leader Nick Griffin said he was confident a candidate would reach the 7% needed to gain a seat, but none reached the threshold.
In Stoke-on-Trent the wards previously held by the BNP were all subject to boundary changes, and due to those changes there were 16 fewer seats available.
The party, which had two MEPs elected in 2009, lost almost half its council seats in last year's local elections, losing all 12 of its seats on east London's Barking and Dagenham Council.
As well as elections in England, the BNP also fielded 32 candidates for the Scottish parliament and candidates for the assemblies in Wales and Northern Ireland.
However, the party had to rein back on its campaign spending with debts of more than £500,000, which it has said it expects to pay off by the end of the year.
The BNP has been hit by internal divisions and was facing doubts over its future after costly court cases brought against it including one by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The party has said it will not be incurring any more debts as a result of Thursday's elections.
The BNP contested 338 seats in the 2010 general election and lost its deposit in 266 of them.
Hearts host the Kirkcaldy side in their replay on Wednesday after a 1-1 draw.
Scottish champions Celtic host Inverness Caledonian Thistle in one of three all-Premiership ties.
Ross County entertain Aberdeen, while Partick Thistle travel to face St Johnstone, with Rangers hosting Championship side Greenock Morton.
Top-flight Hamilton Academical also face second-tier opposition and are away to Dunfermline Athletic.
Championship strugglers St Mirren's reward for their surprise win away to top-flight Dundee is a trip to Methil to face in-form League One side East Fife.
Two replays will decide who plays in the final tie.
The winner of the game at Hampden between League One side Queen's Park and Championship visitors Ayr United will host a team from League Two, with Clyde entertaining Stirling Albion.
On the way to beating Rangers in last season's final, Hibs defeated Hearts 1-0 in a replay after a 2-2 draw at the same fifth-round stage.
Caley Thistle are the only Premiership side to have taken a point from Celtic, who beat Albion Rovers 3-0 on Sunday, this season.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers though insists the game is not about revenge.
"The only reason to win is to get into the next round," Rodgers told BBC Scotland. "We deserved to win the away game earlier in the season (the 2-2 draw with Inverness), their goalkeeper had an outstanding game.
"You're always happy to get a home draw and we'll look forward to that when the time comes.
"I'm not thinking about (the treble), my thinking is each game. We're in every competition to win it. We've had a good win, now we move on to Wednesday night (at home to St Johnstone), which will be a tough game for us, and try to maintain the momentum."

Ties to be played 11/12 February
Killers Jeremy Bamber, Peter Moore and Douglas Vinter had asked the court to rule on whole life sentences.
The murderers said condemning them to die in prison amounts to "inhuman or degrading treatment". They argued all sentences should be regularly reviewed.
The Ministry of Justice said the government welcomed this decision.
Bamber was jailed for shooting five members of his family dead in Essex in 1986.
He has always protested his innocence, claiming his schizophrenic sister shot the victims before turning the gun on herself at their farmhouse at Tolleshunt D'Arcy.
Peter Moore, from Kinmel Bay in Conwy county, was convicted of murdering four men for his sexual gratification and Douglas Vinter, of Normanby, Teesside, killed both his wife and a work colleague.
The trio's legal team had argued that any sentence under which the offender's rehabilitation cannot lead to a review of release breaches articles three, five and seven of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The men lost their appeal to the court that whole life tariffs condemning prisoners to die in jail amounted to "inhuman or degrading treatment".
The judges ruled that the whole life tariff is not "grossly disproportionate" and in each case London's High Court had "decided that an all-life tariff was required, relatively recently and following a fair and detailed consideration".
Lawyers representing Vinter plan to appeal against the ruling on his case.
In a statement released by his supporters, Bamber said: "If the state wishes to have a death penalty, then they should be honest and re-introduce hanging.
"Instead, this political decision that I must die in jail is the death penalty using old age or infirmity as the method.
"It is a method whereby I'm locked in a cell until I'm dead - no matter if it should take 70 or 80 years to happen. I shall be dead the next time I leave jail."
'Quite extraordinary'
Bamber said both the trial judge and the Lord Chief Justice set his minimum tariff as 25 years.
"Quite why the home secretary felt that I should die in jail when the judges felt otherwise is a mystery," he said, adding that it was "quite extraordinary" that the European Court felt it was "reasonable" for him to die in jail.
Following the ruling, a Ministry of Justice spokesman said the government "strongly welcomes this decision".
He said: "We argued vigorously that there are certain prisoners whose crimes are so appalling that they should never become eligible for parole.
"We are pleased that the European court has upheld the whole life tariff as a legitimate sentence in British courts."
Workers at Big Pit, in Blaenavon and St Fagans, in Cardiff are the first to walk out in this latest run of strikes.
The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union has said the strikes will run every weekend from 9 April to 1 May.
National Museum Wales said it is facing a cut in its budget and needs to make savings.
The action follows a strike over Easter after talks about a pay row broke down.
National Museum Wales said it was facing a 4.7% cut in its annual grant in aid from the Welsh Government and weekend payments cost about £750,000 a year.
PCS members are protesting against plans to stop extra payments to weekend and bank holiday staff.

Les and Jane Gornall, of Aberystwyth were sent letters from Scottish Power, despite telling the firm they were British Gas customers.
They said it caused distress at a time when Mrs Gornall was diagnosed with cancer and their grandson with leukaemia.
The firm apologised for the mix-up.
Scottish Power also said it would compensate the couple for the stress caused.
The ordeal began in 2014 when Mr and Mrs Gornall decided to shop around for a better energy deal after being with British Gas for 10 years.
The couple told BBC Wales' X-Ray programme they decided to get their electricity and gas from Scottish Power instead - but the switch did not go smoothly.
They have pay as you go prepayment meters in their house, operated by top up cards for both gas and electricity.
After waiting for the necessary gas card from Scottish Power for several weeks, they decided to cancel their new account and remain with British Gas.
Scottish Power sent them a gas bill, so they contacted the company and told staff they were British Gas prepayment customers.
However, Scottish Power kept sending bills despite being repeatedly told the couple were not customers.
In 2015, Mrs Gornall was diagnosed with cancer and the couple's grandson was diagnosed with leukaemia.
At a time when they were under enormous personal strain, the bills from Scottish Power continued to arrive.
Mrs Gornall said: "I just didn't know how they could be so cruel."
Then in 2016, bailiffs visited the Gornall's home.
"That's when you think 'oh my god this is serious'... this really affected us. It just makes you feel so low," said Mrs Gornall.
After X-Ray contacted Scottish Power, it admitted there had been a mix-up, saying the serial number of the meter had been recorded incorrectly and the bills for £4,300 were meant for another property.
The company "sincerely apologised" and said it would compensate the couple for the stress and inconvenience.
Officers went to Troon beach at 04:30 after receiving a report that a man had fallen.
It is understood that he had been in the water.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said there were no suspicious circumstances but there were "ongoing inquiries" to find out what happened.
An online register would include a list of organisations which spend large amounts of cash employing people to influence MSPs.
In 2013, the Scottish government announced plans to legislate on lobbying, but no bill has yet emerged.
Ministers said they remained committed to taking the issue forward.
The cross-party standards committee recommended the register should cover "significant" lobbying activity, which would also take in organisations which have sustained contact with politicians.
They would need to provide information on meetings with MSPs, events and hospitality involving MSPs and details of what the lobbying aimed to achieve.
Healthy democracy
Committee convener Stewart Stevenson, an SNP MSP, said: "Lobbying is a legitimate, valuable and necessary part of a healthy democracy.
"But a parliament founded on openness must seek to make clear who is lobbying, on what issues, and why."
Plans for a register of lobbyists - originally suggested by Labour MSP Neil Findlay - were put forward in the wake of events at Westminster, after three peers were accused of agreeing to carry out parliamentary work for payment.
The Scottish Parliament has remained free of any serious lobbying scandal, apart from an incident in 1999 when the Observer newspaper reported that public relations firm Beattie Media touted for business by offering privileged access to Scottish ministers.
A Scottish government spokesman welcomed the committee's report, adding: "We have repeatedly said that the standards committee's inquiry into lobbying is central to determining the best way forward and we will now take the time to carefully consider its findings.
"The Scottish government remains committed to take forward the development of a Lobbying Transparency Bill."
The Portadown driver leaves the team after two successful years, winning nine races and picking up 18 podiums.
The 34-year-old claimed a fifth independents championship win in 2015 driving a Volkswagen CC.
The team switched to a Subaru Levorg in 2016 and Turkington came close to securing a third BTCC title last year.
The Northern Irishman missed out in the final round at Brands Hatch despite being a rank outsider heading into the finale.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at BMR, however, the time has come to part company and apply focus to each of our own individual goals and needs," said Turkington.
"I sincerely value the journey we have shared together securing the Teams Championship in 2015, winning my fifth Indy title and of course the thrilling year we have just had."
Turkington picked up the BTCC title in 2009 and in 2014, driving for WSR, before moving to BMR at the beginning of 2015.
He had a strong debut campaign with the team, however he starred in 2016, nearly winning the title despite an uncompetitive start to the year due to teething problems with the Levorg.
Turkington is expected to stay in the BTCC in 2017, with several front running seats still available.
Sex worker Lynette White, 20, was stabbed more than 50 times in a Cardiff docklands flat in 1988.
Three men had convictions for the killing quashed - but a trial of officers accused of perverting the course of justice was halted in 2011
The report will now be considered by Home Secretary Amber Rudd.
A Home Office spokesman said "questions still remain over why no one was found responsible for this appalling miscarriage of justice".
Tony Paris, Yusef Abdullahi and Stephen Miller - who became known as the Cardiff Three - were wrongly jailed for life in 1990 for the murder and freed in 1992 after their convictions were quashed.
In 2003, new DNA technology led South Wales Police to Ms White's real killer, Jeffrey Gafoor. He confessed to stabbing her in a row over £30.
Twelve former South Wales Police officers were charged with perverting the course of justice - but the trial of eight of them collapsed in 2011.
The Home Office said the findings of QC Richard Howell's report were being examined, and would be published in due course.
Murray said he was staying in a hotel during a tournament and had a "do not disturb" sign hanging on the door.
"She came in and sat on my bed and started stroking my arm at about seven in the morning when I was still sleeping," he told the International Premier League Tennis (IPTL) website.
The woman later turned up at other tournaments he was playing at.
The Wimbledon, US Open and Olympic winner had been asked by interviewer Anusha Dandekar what the "craziest thing" a fan had said or done to him.
He told Ms Dandekar: "[The maid] then turned up at a couple more tournaments in the hotels I was staying at - in Rotterdam and Barcelona.
"I don't know if that's a fan thing? That's a bit extreme, but that happened."
Murray also told the IPTL that his dream doubles partner from any era would be Serena Williams or Steffi Graf and the tennis star's one-word description of himself was "sarcastic".
When the Scot was asked whether he had the "dry English humour", he answered: "Er, I would say so."
The 29-year-old, who is currently ranked number two in the men's singles world rankings, named Halle Berry as the most gorgeous person in the world after his wife and revealed that he hates all sports movies.
He also admitted to buying an expensive Range Rover with some of his early tennis earnings - even though he couldn't drive it.
"I bought a Range Rover which I couldn't actually drive because I didn't pass my driving test till I was 22," he said.
"But my girlfriend drove it for me and for herself."
Coming off three straight wins, Stoke's first-ever Premier League point at Chelsea on Saturday leaves them with growing hopes of a European place.
"This performance and more performances like this will encourage us to think that," Hughes told BBC Radio Stoke.
"We've been mindful that this could be a very special year for us," he added.
"But we have to maintain our focus and keep our form. And, at the moment, we seem to be doing that."
Eighth-placed Stoke are on 43 points with nine games left, seven points shy of fourth - and certainly well in contention for one of the three Europa League places.
Stoke have only once played in the Europa League before, in 2011-12, when Tony Pulis's side qualified as beaten FA Cup finalists.
They got through two qualifying rounds against Hajduk Split and Thun, then qualified from a group containing Besiktas, Dynamo Kiev and Maccabi Tel Aviv, before bowing out at the last-32 stage to Valencia.
Prior to that, Stoke's only previous experience of Europe was following the 1972 League Cup win over Chelsea, in the UEFA Cup, when they lost to Kaiserslautern.
Stoke's first Premier League point at Stamford Bridge was the first time they had avoided defeat there in nine league visits since December 1984.
The last time they had earned a league point at Chelsea was also a 1-1 draw, on 15 December 1984, when Bill Asprey took charge for the first time following the sacking of Mick Mills after 10 straight defeats.
In the intervening period, the Potters have also had three visits to Chelsea in knockout competitions, twice losing in the FA Cup, as well as winning 1-0 there thanks to a Paul Peschisolido goal in October 1995.
Stoke's last league win at Chelsea was a 1-0 success in April 1974 when Alan Hudson scored the only goal against his former club.,

The Conservative leader of Cheshire East Council said: "This is localism first, smaller government and an end to faceless... central government making decisions for us."
Warrington Borough Council Leader Terry O'Neill said the idea was "premature".
In a speech to Cheshire East councillors on Wednesday, Mr Jones said: "I relish the opportunity for smaller central government, a greater involvement in decision-making at a local level.
"I believe we in Cheshire know what is best for Cheshire and that we should have the resources and power to determine where our money goes locally."
He said he would hold meetings with his counterparts at the two Labour-run authorities - Warrington and Cheshire West & Chester Council.
They will be asked about the possibility of an elected mayor covering all three areas, accompanied by a combined authority which would assume responsibility for the devolved powers.
Such an arrangement currently exists in areas like Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
Mr Jones previously caused controversy when he suggested Cheshire should be reunified, with one council covering the entire county, as was the case before 2009.
However, he has stressed that a devolution deal could be done "without boundary changes".
Mr O'Neill said: "The comments from Cheshire East's leader are premature - we have asked for further information and guidance from the government on the potential offer of devolution."
"I know I'm a bit late with this, but my sadness is profound," Mayhew wrote on his website.
"No words seemed adequate to convey what we... have lost with the passing of my dear friend Kenny Baker."
Baker played the droid R2-D2 in the first six Star Wars films and formed a close friendship with Mayhew.
"Kenny and I became fast friends the first time we met and formed a lifelong bond after realising that we had so much in common," Mayhew said.
Many had passed comment about the pair's contrasting heights over the years - Baker stood at 3ft 8in (1.12m), while Mayhew is 7ft 2in (2.18m).
Mayhew wrote: "Although people liked to contrast the difference in our heights, we found we shared many of the same struggles, from finding clothes, driving cars and fitting in airplane seats to health issues and the ever constant stares of strangers; we understood each other on a level that few others can.
"I am so very glad I got to spend time with him in London earlier this month. His talent and his wicked sense of humour never diminished even as his health did.
"Ever the showman, Kenny was always eager to meet his fans. In the decades we knew each other, I never met anyone who enjoyed the public more.
"For all the joy he brought this world on screen and off I give my thanks, and a final farewell to my little friend with the giant heart who's gone to soon. Rest in peace Kenny."
After starring in the original Star Wars film, Baker went on to appear in the sequels, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and the three prequels between 1999 and 2005.
He later appeared at Star Wars fan conventions across the world.
He was a consultant on the last Star Wars production - The Force Awakens - but actor Jimmy Vee was already lined up to take on the role of R2-D2 in the next film, due for release in 2017.
Baker's agent Johnny Mans said the actor had been ill for a couple of years.
Baker was a father of two and his wife Eileen died in 1993.
He also appeared on screen in Mona Lisa, Amadeus and The Elephant Man.

In his relationship with the supporters, Deila flits between two vastly contrasting worlds - a world of doubts and boos in Europe running parallel with a life of success and optimism in other competitions at home.
No bridge has been built between these two existences.
Media playback is not supported on this device
You can't look at what Celtic have done in the Europa League this season and conclude that Deila is beginning to get an angle on things in that environment, as Gordon Strachan and Neil Lennon did in their second season as Celtic manager.
Strachan motored in year two in Europe, taking Celtic to the last 16 of the Champions League. Lennon didn't get anywhere close to that level in his second season but at least in the performances of his team in the Europa League in 2011 there were discernible signs of improvement.
Those signs don't exist for Deila's Celtic.
Admittedly, Lennon's team beat Rennes 3-1 at Parkhead and drew 1-1 away. Rennes finished sixth in the French league that season. They weren't bad. Celtic drew 1-1 with Udinese, home and away. Udinese went on to finish third in Serie A. They were useful.
The best side that Celtic faced that season was the Atletico Madrid of Thibaut Courtois, Diego Godin, Felipe Luis, Mario Suarez, Arda Turan, Koke and Juanfran with Radamel Falcao appearing off the bench. They lost 2-0 away but 1-0 at home against a side that would go on and win the competition by beating Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the final.
There is a narrative, among some Celtic fans, that Lennon showed no sign of getting it together in Europe until his third season when they beat Barcelona and qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League.
This is held up in support of Deila being given more time to make an impression on the bigger stage, but it's a flawed argument based on a misreading of the signs in Lennon's second European campaign.
It's almost certainly too late for Deila to rescue a grim situation in his team's Europa League group, but he has two games in which to provide a shred of evidence that he can get it right next time - if there is to be a next time.
Think of it as two opportunities to show majority shareholder Dermot Desmond and chief executive Peter Lawwell that he warrants another shot at Europe next season. His case is looking pretty flimsy right now.
The first of those chances is against Ajax in Glasgow on Thursday. It's a match in which the failures of Molde, who beat Celtic home and away, need to be purged.
A repeat of the defensive tomfoolery, mental frailty and tactical confusion that saw Celtic routed 5-2, over both ties, by the sixth best team in Norway and Deila will know again what it is like to be booed up the tunnel by his own fans.
Right now, there is hardly a single result in Europe this season that Deila could point to that suggests his team is learning and getting better. The draw in Amsterdam was admirable, for sure. The draw against Fenerbahce at Celtic Park was far from a failure.
The fact that Celtic led 1-0 and 2-1 in the Netherlands and 2-0 against the Turkish side in Glasgow is more of a problem.
It was history repeating, Last season, Celtic lost leads in Europe and it cost them. And they're still doing it. Throw the Molde failures in on top of that and you have a significant case for the prosecution.
There's an air of denial in certain quarters of Celtic. Molde manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have been entitled to scoff had he seen John Collins' comments in the aftermath.
"Against Molde we were the better team in the two games," said Celtic assistant manager Collins. "They defended, sat behind the ball, weren't bothered about any kind of possession, even at home. They get away with the way they play, sitting back, but we don't want to play like that."
Yes, poor Molde, having to make do with two victories, five goals and 21 attempts on Celtic's goal over both matches not to mention their thumping win over Fenerbahce in the opening round, the kind of result that Deila's Celtic always talk about achieving but never do.
There are 48 teams in this Europa League and only four of them have out-scored Molde. They have 10 points from four games and have qualified for the knockouts with two matches to spare, but their style is "not something that excites me," said Collins.
That's quite a comment from the assistant manager of a club that's sitting bottom of the group without a single win to its name.
A victory over Ajax and Deila can press the pause button on those conversations that have become damning of his record in Europe. Another defeat and the sense of rewind increases. As does the board's temptation to hit eject.
David Moyes has come on the market and Roy Keane, assistant manager with Republic of Ireland, has made it known he hopes to get back into club management after Euro 2016. Desmond was sweet on Keane for Celtic pre-Deila.
The Norwegian may not be able to save his team but a win against Ajax would be no harm when it comes to the business of saving himself.
Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland will never be accused of being football's equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters, but there was a joyousness about what they achieved on Monday night in Dublin.
In Scotland, the navel-gazing continues about the state of the game. Some argue that qualification for Euro 2016 would have done nothing to address the real problems, that a place in France would only have papered over the cracks.
The Football Association of Ireland reckon that making the Euros after their play-off win against Bosnia-Herzegovina could bring as much as £10m into football in the Republic. You can do a lot of grassroots development with £10m.
It's not just the kudos that Scotland missed out on, it's the much-needed cash.
Tennis is a simple and beautiful game. It's just the administrators who make it unfathomable sometimes.
As we lurch from one sporting scandal to another, the case of the Serbian player, David Savic, is worth thinking about. It's a relative dot on the landscape of sporting fraud, but it has its place in the pantheon of the bewildering all the same.
Four years ago, Savic was banned from tennis for life after being found guilty of attempting to match-fix. On Thursday, Savic had his ban adjusted on appeal.
The Serbian's life-ban from playing remains in place but as of March next year he will be allowed to act as a coach and attend tournaments.
The twisted logic of this is bizarre. Savic, 30, is not trusted to play but is deemed suitable to help somebody else to play.
The decision to relax the ban was taken in consideration of his "substantial assistance" to the Tennis Integrity Unit's player education programme - "in which he has appeared in a film to warn other players against involvement in betting-related corruption".
Very few people outside of tennis have heard of Savic. In the grand scheme of things, he doesn't matter. In the sporting cesspool, there are bigger fish to fry. His reprieve, of sorts, is grim all the same.
Called HBO Now, the service will be available in the US from April for $14.99 (£9.90) a month.
The firm, part of media giant Time Warner, was one of the early pioneers of cable television.
However it must now contend with online rivals such as Netflix and Amazon.
Such services offer big-budget, original programming similar to HBO shows for monthly fees that are substantially cheaper than cable TV packages.
Cable TV providers fear that more customers will cancel subscriptions if they are able to access premium channels such as HBO online.
HBO has a streaming service - HBO Go - but it is is only available to customers with an existing cable TV subscription.
HBO Now will only be accessible through Apple devices for three months before expanding to other platforms.
Outside the US, HBO programmes are available through various subscription services - both online and on pay TV platforms.
The company did not confirm whether HBO Now would be rolled out internationally. It could be some time coming to the UK given that the rights to HBO programming are owned by Sky for its Sky Atlantic channel.

Leading politicians have called for more money from the sale of domestic TV rights to be put into grassroots football and reducing ticket prices.
But Scudamore said: "We're not set up for charitable purposes. We are set up to be the best football competition."
The latest deal represents a 70% rise on the current £3bn contract.
Sky paid £4.17bn for five of seven packages on offer, equating to 126 live games. BT Sport spent £960m on two, which nets them 42 matches.
Labour's shadow sports minister Clive Efford told BBC Radio 5 live it would be "nothing short of criminal" if the extra money from the three-season packages was not invested into grassroots.
Sports minister Helen Grant described the Premier League as "a great British success story" but said the TV deal should bring "increased benefits to clubs lower down the football pyramid".
She also called for further investment in facilities and supporters "who are the bedrock of the clubs they follow".
"It is also vital that clubs are run responsibly and sustainably," she added.
Scudamore said: "I believe the Premier League is a great UK export and it attracts a whole lot of positive feelings about the UK.
"If you go and do any international survey, things like the Premier League, the BBC, the Queen: they are things that people feel are good about the UK."
However, some fans have described the deal as "obscene", while 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.
Scudamore said the Premier League, which was founded in 1992, was now being broadcast in 175 countries.
"In 1986, there was no one that wanted to broadcast football," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"There was not even a highlights programme. From the dark days of stadium disasters and other things, it's an amazing rise."
As part of the current TV contract, the Premier League says it has invested £56m in grassroots football in each of the last three seasons. It is unclear how this will be affected by the new contract.
Still, Efford remains critical.
"We've got the richest league in the world and precious little of the money is actually reaching the grassroots of the sport," he said.
"At the outset, the Premier League gave an undertaking to the government that they would put 5% of TV rights into grassroots sports. That just hasn't happened."
Andy Walker, one of the fans who part-owns FC United of Manchester, told BBC Radio 5 live: "Without ordinary supporters, there is no football.
"We've had all sorts of promises in the past from the people who run the Premier League, but, once again, ordinary supporters have been completely and utterly forgotten in all of this.
"There's only one word for this deal - and it is: 'Obscene'."
Arsenal have the most expensive match-day ticket in the Premier League at £97, which is more than double the most expensive ticket at seven top-flight clubs.
Hull, Leicester and West Ham charge £20 or less for their cheapest adult match-day ticket.
Despite price rises this season, Premier League attendances are on the increase. The average crowd last season was 36,695 and grounds this season have been 95% full.
Scudamore claimed attendances were the best since 1949-50 and defended the huge salaries that some of the game's stars earn.
"Just like in the film industry or pop industry, or any talent industry, the talent gets paid a disproportionately high amount compared to other people in the business," he said.
"We are in the entertainment industry. The stars that grace the fields in the Premier League are world stars. The fans want the best talent to come and play in the Premier League."
Stoke City chairman Peter Coates said money did filter through to lower-league clubs.
"It is an awful lot of money, but we have a responsibility to football as a whole and I am sure we will exercise that responsibility," he said.
"The clubs and Stoke do a lot of things in the community and if you go in the Stoke-on-Trent area, you will get the same feedback.
"It is a bit over the top to call it obscene."
Manchester United's value on the New York Stock Exchange rose by almost 5% after the Premier League announcement on Tuesday, while shares closed at $17.03, up 77 cents.
BBC Business reporter Rebecca Marston said: "What's happened in New York is evidence clubs are expecting their payday. Investors clearly believe this is a wise investment as a direct result of this announcement."
The weekly listings magazine has come up with separate selections of 20 men and 20 women from which to chose.
Contenders come from across the radio industry and include famous names such as Radio 4's Jenni Murray and Heart's former Spice Girl Emma Bunton.
Radio Times's Jane Anderson said they wanted to know who on radio created a "thrill" or "buzz" for listeners.
"The rules are simple," said Anderson, who is the publication's radio editor.
"We're not looking for the cleverest presenter, the most ground-breaking reporter or a relentlessly accurate weather forecaster.
"We want you to tell us who creates that thrill, that buzz or that sense all is well in the world when you hear them speak.
"Which radio voice can't you resist? Read the shortlist and allow the voices to linger inside your head.
"And then pick your favourite three men and three women in order of how much you love them."
A panel of experts - including Radio 2's Jeremy Vine and Radio 4's Eddie Mair, John Humphrys and Sue MacGregor - drew up the shortlist.
They were not allowed to vote for themselves but some have nonetheless been shortlisted.
Radio Times has given each competitor's vocal chords a description.
Woman's Hour host Murray, 65, has a voice described as "velvety... and simply very, very easy to listen to".
The Today programme's host Mishal Husain, 43, is said to have an "authoritative voice" which is "easy on the ear" because of its "elegant timbre".
Bunton, who presents Heart's breakfast show, has a voice imbued with "an infectious happiness".
While Leona Graham from Absolute is said to have "husky, sultry tones" which "have even led to her voice being mistaken for that of a man".
Among the men on the list, there is Radio 4's Test Match Special commentator Henry Blofeld whose voice is described as "plummy as jam".
Of LBC's Steve Allen, Radio Times asks: "Is there a more mischievous voice on the air today?"
A similar poll among listeners was run by Radio Times 14 years ago, with Radio 2's Terry Wogan, who died on 31 January, being chosen as the winning male and Radio 4's Charlotte Green the favourite among the women.
This time, voting will be open until 4 April with the winning male and female presenters announce in an issue of the Radio Times two or three weeks later.
Chris Cadden finished Marvin Johnson's cross to hand Motherwell an early lead, but Paul McGowan's first goal of the season soon cancelled it out.
Stephen Pearson again nudged the visitors ahead with a brilliant solo effort before half-time.
But Hemmings' spot kick with less than five minutes of normal time remaining rescued Paul Hartley's side.
The result moves the hosts back above Inverness Caledonian Thistle into the Premiership's top six, while Motherwell slip to ninth.
The strengths and weaknesses of Dundee were neatly summed up in a the space of just a couple of minutes at the start of this game.
Cadden scored a terrific first-ever goal for Motherwell when the unmarked teenager controlled Johnson's cross on his chest before guiding the ball into the top corner of the net.
That makes it just one clean sheet in 18 games now for Hartley's team but they quickly reiterated how impressive they are going forward.
Great play by Greg Stewart released McGowan in the inside right channel and he controlled the pass before hooking the ball home.
Both strikes came in the first seven minutes and the only surprise was that it took until midway through the half for another to arrive in an open and entertaining match.
Keith Lasley forced Scott Bain into a fine save to keep out the Motherwell captain's 35-yard free kick while at the other end Stewart and Gary Harkins tormented the visitors defence.
It was Pearson who put the Steelmen back in front with another excellent goal in 23 minutes as the veteran midfielder burst through the Dundee defence before angling in his seventh goal of the campaign.
Both Conor Ripley and Bain continued to make crucial saves as the sides created plenty of chances despite the fierce wind and snow flurries that contributed to the pitch cutting up badly.
Dundee did dominate possession in the second half but Motherwell defended doggedly to limit their clear cut chances while trying to hit on the counterattack.
Harkins did go close to snatching an equaliser with a couple of typical flashes of skill, chipping over from right of the goal then volleying wide from the other side.
The visitors did have the ball in the net on a quick break out but Louis Moult drifted offside before netting Pearson's through ball.
But it was Cadden's challenge on Kevin Holt that led to Hemmings netting his 16th of the season from the spot - no more than Dundee deserved for their second-half supremacy - with substitute Arturo, the on-loan Spanish striker, almost snatching a winner.
Researchers said they had identified "small but significant changes in brain function" after players headed the ball 20 times.
Memory performance was reduced by between 41% and 67% in the 24 hours after routine heading practice.
One of the study's authors suggested football should be avoided ahead of important events like exams.
The University of Stirling study was published in EBioMedicine.
It is the first to detect direct changes in the brain after players were exposed to everyday head impacts, as opposed to clinical brain injuries like concussion.
Researchers fired footballs from a machine designed to simulate the pace and power of a corner kick and asked a group of football players to head a ball 20 times.
The players' brain function and memory were tested before and after the exercise.
Study co-author, neuropathologist Dr Willie Stewart, was asked what advice he would offer to footballers, based on his findings.
He said: "I think this evidence so far suggests - that if it's just a short term thing and it's just something that lasts 24 hours - I think if I were a parent of a kid who had an exam on a Wednesday, I would suggest to them perhaps that they miss football training [on Tuesday] certainly because I would want to do well in that Wednesday afternoon exam."
He added: "If you translate the evidence we've got now, we've got an immediate impairment of short and long-term memory - which does recover.
"It takes 24 hours to recover - so I would say, for that 24-hour period, if you've got something important coming up, that you shouldn't be playing football."
The university said it was yet to investigate whether the changes to the brain were temporary after repeated games of football or if there were long-term consequences on brain health.
In May this year, the Football Association said it would lead a study into possible links between football and brain diseases.
The announcement followed a campaign by the family of former England, West Brom and Notts County striker, Jeff Astle, who died from brain trauma in 2002.
A coroner described his illness as an "industrial disease", in reference to him heading leather balls.
Dr Magdalena Ietswaart, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Stirling, said the research had been carried out in the light of "growing concern" about links between brain injury in sport and the increased risk of dementia.
"Using a drill most amateur and professional teams would be familiar with, we found there was in fact increased inhibition in the brain immediately after heading and that performance on memory tests was reduced significantly," she said.
"Although the changes were temporary, we believe they are significant to brain health, particularly if they happen over and over again as they do in football heading.
"With large numbers of people around the world participating in this sport, it is important that they are aware of what is happening inside the brain and the lasting effect this may have."
Former Scottish Football Association chief executive Gordon Smith said Scotland should consider copying the American method by putting a ban in place to prevent youngsters heading the ball.
He said: "I do consider that it should be looked at for young players below a certain age. In football, for youngsters these days the ball is often in the air because they play smaller-sided games.
"We should try and discourage it from certain age groups in order to make sure there isn't any later effects on little kids."
But he added that if he had his time again, he would still play in the same way: "I think if I was given the choice to play again with the scenario that you were heading the ball and it could do some sort of damage, I would still agree to play.
"That was what I wanted to do more than anything in my life."
It's the unexpected nature of the test results that make them so devastating for football. None of the academics themselves thought that the mere act of heading a normal football a number of times, at a normal speed, as if in a normal situation, would give rise to an immediate reduction in brain function, and the onset memory loss, in the brains of two thirds of the participants tested.
Disturbingly the symptoms took 24 hours to clear. The question that popped into my head was: what if someone does this every day? Do they live a life in a permanently sub concussive state? How does this affect them in older life? What about youngsters whose brains are more prone to damage?
Oh we know about concussions, but we thought the days of heading an old, sodden, leather football were gone. We know about elbows and head knocks, and we know about footballers and rugby players with early onset dementia.
But we didn't know that just heading a ball caused so much damage to the brain.
Read more of John's analysis.
Psychology professor Lindsay Wilson from Stirling University said: "There's been scepticism about whether there is a connection between soccer heading and changes in the brain, but this is evidence of both changes in inhibition and also in cognition immediately after heading.
"I think that together with evidence from previous studies it begins to paint a picture that raises concerns.
"What we really need here is more research to try and better understand what is going on."
When asked about the impact it could have on memory, Prof Wilson said: "The effects we are seeing are rather short term. We really need to identify in more detail what exactly is happening and how long these effects are lasting."
Dr Angus Hunter, reader in exercise physiology, added: "For the first time, sporting bodies and members of the public can see clear evidence of the risks associated with repetitive impact caused by heading a football.
"We hope these findings will open up new approaches for detecting, monitoring and preventing cumulative brain injuries in sport. We need to safeguard the long-term health of football players at all levels, as well as individuals involved in other contact sports."
The 20-year-old, who scored nine goals in 27 appearances while on loan at League One Barnsley last season, has signed a four-year contract after his United deal expired.
"I think West Ham is a club with a lot of ambition," the England Under-20 International told West Ham's website.
"They are a club built on traditions of giving youngsters a run and hopefully I can get my chance as well."
Phyllida Barlow, Steve Claydon, Helen Marten and David Medalla will find out in November which of them will be the first recipient of the £30,000 prize.
The prize, which will be awarded every other year, is open to artists who have made "a significant contribution to contemporary sculpture".
The four artists will go on show at the West Yorkshire gallery in October.
Barlow, who will represent Britain at the Venice International Art Biennale later this year, said it was "a surprise and huge honour" to be shortlisted.
Her sentiments were echoed by Claydon, who said the award was "a validation... of the part played by artists in Britain who contribute toward this medium."
Marten said she was "excited" to exhibit alongside her fellow nominees, while Medalla called the prize "a palpable expression of the greatness of Barbara Hepworth as a sculptor".
The gallery that bears Hepworth's name opened in May 2011 and has since had about 1.4 million visitors.
Hepworth's granddaughter, the art historian Dr Sophie Bowness, said the award was "a fitting legacy to... one of Britain's greatest sculptors".
The prize is being funded by benefactors including TV executive David Liddiment, the art collector David Roberts and Linda Harley, founder of the LK Bennett shoe chain.
The shadow cabinet needed to develop sharper messages and do more to get itself heard, Mr Burnham said.
In an interview with Total Politics magazine, he said it wasn't an issue of leadership but one "of the team".
The Labour frontbencher said the party was "united" and "galvanised", despite recent reports of internal divisions over Ed Miliband's leadership.
Mr Burnham dismissed suggestions he had actively discussed Mr Miliband's exit, but told the magazine it would be "odd" for him to rule out a future leadership attempt.
Mr Burnham, who served as health secretary in the last government, contested the Labour leadership when Gordon Brown stood in 2010, but lost out to Mr Miliband.
Asked about reports of divisions over the leadership, Mr Burnham said: "It's never good, but it has galvanised people. The mood of the party is very resolute. People are gearing up now to fight the election.
"These things happen from time to time, but fundamentally we are united and in a pretty strong place. That's what matters. The mood of 99% of the Parliamentary Labour Party is very united and very positive."
He said of the shadow cabinet: "I think the time has come for us all to raise our game and support him.
"I don't make this an issue of the leader, I make this an issue of the team. We all have to really up our game, do more to get heard, get our messages sharper, get them over. I see it that way.
"I see it as an obligation. We're in the battle now and it's about fighting every single day."
Pressed on whether he had any future leadership ambitions, the shadow health secretary said: "I can't say what life will throw up in the future, but I'm focused on helping Ed, making Ed the next prime minster and getting back in."
Mr Burnham's comments come after some Labour MPs privately told reporters recently that Mr Miliband was not the right person to win the next general election, taking place in May.
Mr Miliband has admitted that his "mettle had been tested" by the speculation, but he denied that his leadership was a problem.
Mr Miliband said it was the party's "duty... not to shrink from the fight, not to buckle under the pressure but to win".
Asked why the Labour Party was struggling, Mr Miliband said many people were "deeply sceptical about mainstream politics and whether it can solve their problems".
Michael Sailstorfer has hidden 30 24-carat gold bars on Folkestone's Outer Harbour beach.
More than 150 people started digging for gold when low tide exposed the beach. Organisers say prospectors can keep any bars they find.
The Folkestone Digs project is part of the town's triennial arts festival.
The event, which takes place every three years and runs from 30 August to 2 November, will also feature work by Yoko Ono.
Lewis Biggs, curator of Folkestone Triennial said: "There are 30 gold bars buried there, along with a lot of washers, so if you bring your metal detector you will find a lot of washers before you find any gold.
"We will never know if the gold has been found or not."
He said it was hoped people digging on the beach would create a work of art by making sand castles at the same time.
So says the Campaign for Science and Engineering (Case), which asked parties with at least one sitting MP for their views ahead of the UK election.
The organisation received six letters,
David Cameron and Ed Miliband both said science was important to Conservative and Labour plans, respectively, for stimulating economic growth.
But Case said neither of the two major parties had put a firm number on that assurance.
The Conservatives have said such an announcement would have to wait until a Comprehensive Spending Review, while Labour have similarly deferred a specific commitment until its proposed "Zero-Based Review" - both of which come after the general election.
By contrast, Greens leader Natalie Bennett wrote that her party "wants to double public spending on research over the next 10 years, reaching 1% of GDP".
Although protected as a "flat cash" sum since 2010, the UK science budget has dropped in real terms and in 2012 it fell below 0.5% of GDP, according to a recent analysis. As a proportion of GDP, the nation's science spend is the lowest in the G8.
Top science organisations and their leaders have warned that this needs to be addressed, and called for the 1% public spend in a report released in February.
Despite the Greens' position as a minor party with just one MP, Case's acting director Naomi Weir said their commitment to that same figure was noteworthy.
"They're the ones who have been the most clear in describing policies that have actual numbers and commitments backing them," Ms Weir told the BBC.
Labour and the Conservatives are being "much more reserved than they were in 2010", she added.
Analysis: David Shukman, BBC science editor
How much of last night's TV grilling of David Cameron and Ed Miliband was devoted to science and engineering?
None.
Did anyone even mention them despite all the major parties describing research and innovation as being vital for future prosperity?
No.
In the cut and thrust ahead of the election, the economy and the NHS and immigration are commanding attention - and the world of British science is struggling to make its voice heard.
The argument is simple enough: that although Britain punches well above its weight as measured by Nobel Prizes and research papers and academic citations, it is falling behind its global competitors in terms of how much they spend.
The numbers speak for themselves: Britain devotes less of its GDP to R&D than the United States and Germany and far less than that innovation powerhouse South Korea. The latest figures show it even falls below the average of the 28 members of the European Union.
Prominent figures in science all say they get a sympathetic hearing from politicians and that things could be far worse. But they also realise that while the coming weeks present an opportunity to make a case for a big increase in the spending commitment, it will be tough work even getting noticed.
Letters were also received from representatives of Plaid Cymru and the Alliance Party, as well as the Scottish government, on behalf of the SNP.
Plaid Cymru and Alliance said they would push to strengthen investment in research within Wales and Northern Ireland respectively. The SNP letter said that science and engineering are "key to achieving the overall goal of creating a more successful Scotland".
Neither the Liberal Democrats nor UKIP have responded with a letter, though Ms Weir said both these parties had been in contact with Case and demonstrated an interest in science.
"They do have something to say, but we don't yet have a letter from them," she said.

The programme's film crew arrived at Lough Erne earlier this week.
Presenter Adam Henson looked at ways in which the bird charity the Royal Society Protection of Birds (RSPB) works with farmers to improve the help endangered birds.
The RSPB helps to manage more than 40 islands in the lower lough.
It works closely with farmers to ensure the islands are grazed appropriately by livestock, while maintaining the right conditions for wildlife to thrive.
Ground-nesting birds need grass of various heights in which to lay eggs and raise their young successfully.
Countryfile filmed for two days as cattle and sheep were moved by boat from Rosscor and Boa Island to Muckinish Island and Hare Island.
The number of breeding waders in the area has increased after targeted management of Lough Erne by the RSPB.
While the weather and other factors can affect breeding numbers from year to year, about 250 pairs of breeding waders make their homes on the islands in the lower lough.
Countryfile will air on BBC One Northern Ireland on Sunday 31 July.
Matthew Doyle, 46, of south Croydon, was charged on Friday morning under Section 19 of the Public Order Act.
Following discussions with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the Met said he was "no longer charged" and will not be appearing in court.
It said police may not make charging decisions over section 19 of the Act.
Mr Doyle, who was arrested on Wednesday, had been charged with publishing or distributing threatening, abusive or insulting material, likely or intended to stir up racial hatred.
It followed the posting of a message on his Twitter profile about confronting a Muslim woman in south London over the Brussels attacks, which was widely shared on social media and spawned a wave of parodies.
The Met said further consultation with the CPS would take place.
In March 2016, the total amount of debt owed by English students and EU students studying in England was £76.3bn.
To write off this debt, the Greens would have to pay out that amount from the public purse or find some other way of funding it.
This would represent a large outlay of cash from the government, although presumably it would only be a one-off payment, unlike their pledge to scrap tuition fees.
Bundles of student loans have been sold on to private investors in the past, which is one way to bring back some money into the Treasury's coffers.
But we have to bear in mind that not all student loans get paid back.
Graduates under the current system do not have to start repaying their loans until they have an annual income of more than £21,000.
And outstanding fees get written off after a number of years - 30 years for English and Welsh students who started courses after 2012 and 25 years for students who started courses between 2006 and 2012.
So the government would have ended up paying some of that £76bn anyway.
Scottish students studying in Scotland have not had to pay anything towards their tuition since 2008.
When tuition fees were £3,000 a year, the majority of students (about 70%) were expected to pay off all their debts.
Under the new £9,000 a year system, only 30% of students are expected to pay back every penny.
On top of the plan to wipe out existing debt, the Green's plans to scrap tuition fees would add several billion pounds to the country's annual spending.
Labour has also promised to scrap tuition fees for students in England.
In the short-term, estimates suggest the government would have to put aside about £11bn a year to pay for tuition fees.
Once you factor in the people who will not end up paying back their loans, in the long-term the policy is expected cost the government £8bn a year.
The 28-year-old from Castledawson died after an assault outside a bar and nightclub complex on the Hillhead Road on Sunday morning.
It is understood the accused will appear in court in Londonderry later on Thursday.
Three other men who were also arrested have been released on bail pending further inquiries.
The Palestine Football Association (PFA) says the Israeli FA has violated rules relating to racism, players' free movement and where clubs are based.
It has requested the vote at the next Fifa congress on 29 May.
Suspension would mean Israeli teams would not be able to take part in the the Champions League and Euro 2016.
The matters were on the agenda in both 2013 and 2014, but compromises meant it never went to a vote.
The Palestinians have raised three major complaints:
The Israeli federation has said it cannot be held responsible for restrictions imposed by the state of Israel, which frequently limits Palestinians' movement or holds up the delivery of goods because of security concerns.
"I don't think there is any football association around the world which can tell its government how to deal with security issues, including the Israeli Football Association," said IFA chief executive Rotem Kamer.
PFA chief Jibril Rajoub said: "We will never, ever accept any compromise, any agreement or deal outside the Congress.
"If the other side insists on causing us suffering, we are not using violence or weapons, we are using the legal leverage of the Fifa statutes. This is nothing to do with politics, this is a sport issue."
Fifa president Sepp Blatter discussed the issues with Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, before meeting Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and Rajoub on Wednesday. Rajoub said the PFA will keep its proposals on the Fifa congress agenda.
Blatter said he had proposed that Fifa organise a "peace match" between the Israeli and Palestinian national teams in Zurich. He claimed Netanyahu had promised to attend the event if it went ahead.
After being linked to several teen suicides, the social network found itself at the centre of a media firestorm.
Grieving families pleaded with people to avoid it, campaigners called for its closure and the Prime Minister said users should stage a boycott.
Add Islamic State recruitment tips to that on the platform and you had a company with a reputation in tatters.
Ask.fm was toxic. Damaged goods. The lack of moderation led to a free-for-all where bullies could hide and do their worst.
It therefore came as a surprise to those of us who'd watched the company lurch from one crisis to the next that it was bought in August 2014 by the well-established and similarly named internet company Ask.com.
Surely the only sensible thing to do would be close the whole operation?
"The answer is yes," said Doug Leeds, CEO of the controversial social network's new owner Ask.com.
"We did look at shutting it down and we thought about it significantly as an option."
Speaking to Newsbeat from the US, he said the company decided that it was worth trying to turn Ask.fm around.
"We came to the conclusion that there's a good business here as long as you make the service safer."
And that is what Ask.fm's new parent company IAC, which owns online brands including Tinder and Vimeo, is banking on.
The launch of a new safety centre providing advice to teenagers, parents and the police is proof, the company claims, of its commitment to keeping its users safe.
A slick video attempts to present a caring and considerate company in which staff admit safety "had to be improved".
There are tips on "being smart and safe" and "dealing with cyberbullying" along with an explanation that in "certain circumstances" the company may hand over user data to law enforcement agencies.
It's far more extensive than the token effort made by Ask.fm's previous owners, who have now left the company, but surely allowing users to stay anonymous is inviting abuse?
"Our motto since we bought the company has been anonymity with responsibility," said Leeds.
"We think there are a lot of benefits - and obviously users agree - to anonymity.

Ask.fm is set up by brothers Ilja and Mark Terebin as a rival to question and answer based social network Formspring.
Privacy settings introduced to Ask.fm, including the option to disable anonymous questions.
Ciara Pugsley, 15, is found dead in woodland near her home in County Leitrim, Ireland. This was the first of several teen suicides linked to abuse via ask fm.
Hannah Smith, 14, is found hanged at her home in Lutterworth, Leicestershire. It is believed she killed herself after she was bullied on the site.
Prime Minister David Cameron urges people to boycott sites which do not 'step up to the plate' and tackle online abuse. He said that after the 'absolutely tragic' death of Hannah Smith, those running the websites had to 'clean up their act'.
Changes made to make Ask.fm safer in the wake of online bullying cases. It said it would view all reports within 24 hours, make the report button more visible, and include bullying and harassment as a category for a report.
In the 2013 Annual Cyberbullying Survey by charity Ditch the Label, Ask.fm is named as one of the three most likely places teenagers experience cyberbullying, alongside Facebook and Twitter.
Ask.fm launches a 'Safety Center' containing advice and guidance for users of the site and their parents.
"You can ask questions that you wouldn't feel comfortable asking."
Allowing users to hide their identity is clearly a big attraction to Ask.fm's 150 million users, who are mainly teenagers.
But providing anonymity, while ensuring it is not used as a veil of secrecy for bullies, is Ask.fm's greatest challenge.
"That's where we draw the line; when anonymity is being used as a method to cause harm then we can take action and it isn't appropriate for our service," said Leeds.
Moderation and enforcement of rules is difficult, with 50 million questions being asked on the network every day.
But Ask.fm is trying, with the help of technology.
They have extended the use of software to scan questions and answers posted by users for key words and phrases.
"We've expanded the number of filters we're using, we've increased the vocabulary that we use, we've added new employees to look at this content," said Leeds.
"We're now seeing about 40% more content in total than we saw before either before it gets to a user or just afterward and usually we can respond in under 15 minutes to anything that we're seeing that isn't appropriate," said Leeds.
There will also be more oversight of what the company is doing, with a Safety Advisory Board made up of leading figures in online safety.
John Carr, secretary of the British Childrens' Charities Coalition on Internet Safety, is among its members.
He claims the approach taken by Ask.fm's previous owners of offering free speech with light-touch moderation did not work.
"There was a naivety there, but that's all history now," he said.
"It's a big investment in clever technology and people, that's what's going to make the difference."
He acknowledged that the rapid rise in popularity of Ask.fm without adequate safety measures led to its poor reputation.
"These things can become very fashionable, they get gigantic numbers of users rapidly, but if you haven't got the safety mechanisms in place that's when things can go badly wrong."
The question has to be asked though, whether the damage has been done.
In the world of social networking, new companies come and go almost daily. Ask.fm set itself apart by allowing, perhaps encouraging, users to stay anonymous.
Now it is just one of many in a crowded market with apps including Whisper, Secret and YikYak jostling for position.
Ask.fm admits it has lost users since its run of bad publicity, partly as a result of changes put in place.
When Newsbeat visited Ask.fm's head office in Latvia in May 2014, 17-year-old student Sophie Downes from Flintshire was one of many who told us about the abuse she faced on the site.
A few months later she and her friends have moved on.
"I'm glad they're finally doing something to improve their safety policy, but I actually don't use the site any more.
"It seems to have lost popularity within my friendship group," she said.
Ask.fm is staking its future on allowing "anonymity with responsibility".
To survive, it will need to prove that phrase is more than a slogan.

The Scottish Liberal Democrat leader told the party's conference in Perth that Nicola Sturgeon was "determined" to hold an independence referendum.
He argued that the economic case for independence is weaker than in 2014.
But he said the case for the UK should be a "positive, uplifting one".
And he told delegates that "Britain is full of people who care" and that it was important to focus on the "ties that bind us rather than the differences some would use to divide us".
Ahead of Mr Rennie's speech, the conference formally backed calls for the party to be "the voice for the majority in Scotland, who want Scotland inside the UK and the UK in the EU", and to campaign for re-entry into the EU after Brexit.
Highlighting his own family's links to different parts of the UK, and to Europe, Mr Rennie told delegates that the constitutional debate was "personal" rather than merely a "dry, dusty debate about government structures".
He added: "It is about family, community, destiny. I want to bring communities and peoples together, not drive them apart.
"That is why I will oppose erecting a barrier, any barrier, in the heart of my family just like I will oppose erecting a barrier, any barrier, in the heart of the United Kingdom or the European Union.
"Because the United Kingdom is our family. The European Union is our family. And we stand with our family.
"Erecting barriers and division with independence - between us and the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland - is just as objectionable as the division we are seeing with the people of Europe as a result of Brexit."
Willie Rennie says that indyref2 is unwanted and unnecessary. Yet his speech was founded upon the presumption that such a ballot is coming reasonably soon.
Perhaps he took his clue from the interview with me in which the first minister agreed that indyref2 was now "all but inevitable". Or the many other interviews in which she has deployed comparable comments.
Either way, Mr Rennie says his party is ready for the fight. The economic case for independence, he said, is now less impressive, particularly in the light of oil figures.
But, he said, there was an emotional case for the Union too. He, Rennie W, was ready to deploy said argument. It was, he said, about "family, community and destiny". (Theresa May opted for "solidarity, unity, family.")
On the subject of the EU, Mr Rennie also anticipates a further referendum. Although he tends to bristle, politely, if one suggests it is a rerun of 23 June.

Mr Rennie said he would always "stand up for our United Kingdom" as an "uplifting, mutually beneficial partnership".
And looking ahead to a potential second independence referendum, he said the Lib Dems would "lead the way on the kind of campaign for the United Kingdom that we want to see".
He added: "We know the economic case for independence is weaker than even in 2014, so I will not dwell on that today.
"The new case for the United Kingdom is a positive, uplifting one that focuses on the ties that bind us rather than the differences some would use to divide us.
"It is that emotional case. It is the Liberal case for unity. The compassionate case. It goes to the heart of who we are. Our United Kingdom is an uplifting, mutually beneficial partnership that we should cherish rather than trash.
"So as we head into another referendum the responsibility on liberals is great. We must stand up and be counted for our values. This is a battle of ideas and values, not of identities and flags."
Delegates debated policies including the UK and Europe and maternal mental health before Mr Rennie's speech.
The two-day event also heard from MPs Nick Clegg and Alistair Carmichael, who both hit out at the rise of nationalism.
Members have approved policy motions backing moves to cut drug-related deaths including "safe injection facilities" and the "de facto decriminalisation of the possession of drugs for personal use", and on increasing the speed limit for HGVs.
The party also reaffirmed its backing to the "Frank's Law" campaign for free dementia care for those aged under 65.
The defence ministry said this figure included "many of the terrorists" who had attacked the town in Borno state and faced resistance by troops.
Local officials earlier estimated the number of deaths at as many as 2,000.
Nigeria has often been accused of underestimating casualty figures to downplay the threat of Boko Haram.
The ministry dismissed higher estimates for deaths at Baga, in north-east Nigeria, as "speculation and conjecture" and "exaggerated".
It said the army was taking "necessary actions" to restore law and order there, but gave few details about the operation to recapture the town from the Islamist insurgents.
Earlier, the Catholic Archbishop of Jos, in central Nigeria, accused the West of ignoring the threat posed by Boko Haram.
Ignatius Kaigama said the world had to show more determination to halt the group's advance in Nigeria.
His warning came after at least 23 people were killed at the weekend by three female suicide bombers, one reported to be 10 years old.
In neighbouring Cameroon, the military said it had repelled an attack by Boko Haram insurgents on one of its northern bases.
A military source told the BBC that the insurgents had come in over the Nigerian border. In the exchange of gunfire, the army said one soldier and several insurgents were killed.
Archbishop Kaigama told the BBC's Newsday programme that the slaughter in Baga had shown that the Nigerian military was unable to tackle Boko Haram.
"It is a monumental tragedy. It has saddened all of Nigeria. But... we seem to be helpless. Because if we could stop Boko Haram, we would have done it right away. But they continue to attack, and kill and capture territories... with such impunity," he said.
Analysis
By Will Ross, BBC News, Lagos
The violence is relentless and increasingly shocking. If it is true that a 10-year-old girl carried the explosives which killed at least 19 people in Maiduguri on Saturday, it throws up a list of unanswerable questions. For example, was the girl aware of what she was doing? Was she drugged or brainwashed and did she trigger the bomb or was it done remotely?
Sometimes Nigeria's military has recorded successes. It managed to prevent the jihadists from taking over the Yobe state capital Damaturu on Friday night - the gun battle lasted for hours.
But the military faces a mountainous task trying to protect civilians from the bombers and gunmen who are spread over a large area of the north-east and although officials don't like to hear it, they have often been overpowered and failed to protect civilians.
The world is slowly waking up to express shock at the latest violence but beyond condemnation and limited help with training, it seems there is little or no appetite to become more deeply involved in this conflict.
Archbishop Kaigama said facing down Boko Haram required international support and unity of the type that had been shown after last week's militant attacks in France.
"We need that spirit to be spread around," he said. "Not just when it [an attack] happens in Europe, but when it happens in Nigeria, in Niger, in Cameroon.
"We [must] mobilise our international resources and face or confront the people who bring such sadness to many families."
A French-led initiative has called for Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon and Chad to contribute 700 troops each to a multinational force against Boko Haram, but no country has implemented the plan.

But James Comey says the FBI will not yet release the name of Islamic State fighter, so-called Jihadi John, who seemed to speak with a British accent.
UK Foreign Minister Philip Hammond told CNN this week they were "getting warm" on the identity of the masked man.
Mr Comey did not say whether the man identified carried out the killings.
He said the FBI was able to identify him with the help of international partners.
American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and British aid worker David Haines, have all been killed alongside a masked man dressed in black holding a knife, who speaks to the camera.
The life of another British citizen, Alan Henning, was threatened in the last video.
The 2012-13 champions finished seventh last year, having sacked David Moyes in April after just 10 months in charge.
"From what I've seen already he looks a bit mad to me. Like a mad genius," the former player told the Independent.
"There's no doubt these players need to perform this year or they won't be there for very long."
Scholes, 39, who briefly joined United's backroom staff after Moyes's sacking, also believes Dutchman Van Gaal requires more new signings if he is to challenge for the Premier League title in his first season.
The 20-time league champions have already brought in defender Luke Shaw and midfielder Ander Herrera this summer for a combined total of almost £60m.
But Van Gaal has lost the services of experienced centre-backs Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, left-back Patrice Evra and veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs - "massive players who have won 30 titles between them," according to Scholes.
"I'm sure he [Van Gaal] would have liked to have signed more players," the ex-England international said. "He's not managed to do that yet. Are the players out there available?
"People still want to play for United. It's huge. You get the chance to win the Premier League, but possibly not this year if they don't make any signings."
Meanwhile, Juan Mata, who signed for United from Chelsea for £37.1m in January 2014, believes the club's main focus should be getting back into Europe.
"We would all love to win the league but the most important goal - what this club needs - is to play in the Champions League again," the Spaniard told the Daily Mail.
"I cannot imagine a Champions League two years in a row without United."
Mata, 26, also looks to have emerged as favoured forward from the "four number 10s" Van Gaal said he had at the club, and is revelling in the role.
"This manager wants passing and movement and triangles. It's how I play my best," the former Valencia player added. "But my mission is to assist and score."
It was addressed to "Marconi Operator, RMS Titanic" and stamped on 11 April 1912 - the day after the ill-fated ship set sail from Southampton.
What the parcel originally contained is unknown, but according to the valuer it missed the ship by a "few hours".
Auctioneer John Nicholson is to start bidding at £500, but "hasn't got a clue" how much it is worth.
He hopes it will be of interest to Titanic enthusiasts.
The lot has been described as an "important piece of maritime history and of Titanic interest".
It also includes photographs of a Marconi telegraph operator, Alec Bagot, and the telegraph equipment aboard Titanic's sister ship RMS Olympic.
Valuer Gordon Patrick said it was given to the vendor's mother, who lived in Southampton and died in 1972.
He said: "It was given to her by the first officer of the Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship, who was a friend of hers.
"We don't know what was in the parcel, but they think it missed the ship by a couple of hours."
He believes a collector will snap up the memorabilia. He said: "It's quite exciting - there's real Titanic mania."
The Titanic sank on the fifth day of its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.
Titanic memorabilia continues to be popular. Last year the last letter to be written on the vessel sold for £119,000 at auction.
Previously a menu from the day of the disaster was sold for £76,000, while a violin played as the ship sank went for £900,000.
The sale will take place on Saturday 30 May at the John Nicholson auction rooms in Fernhurst, West Sussex.

Leinster led 23-6 at half-time after tries from Dominic Ryan, Rory O'Loughlin and Peter Dooley
However despite a further Zane Kirchner Leinster score, tries from Adam Ashe, Lee Jones and Finn Russell put Glasgow ahead before a Joey Carbery penalty.
Carbery's penalty restored Leinster's lead in the 74th minute shortly before the floodlight failure.
Leinster were already certain of a home semi-final heading into Friday night's game while Glasgow's slim mathematical hopes of clinching a place in the play-offs were finally ended by their defeat.
More to follow.
Leinster: Z Kirchner; A Byrne, R O'Loughlin, T Daly, F McFadden; R Byrne, N McCarthy; P Dooley; J Tracy, M Ross; R Molony (capt), M Kearney; D Ryan, J van der Flier, Leavy.

Ali, who is widely regarded as the greatest boxer of all time, died aged 74 of "septic shock due to unspecified natural causes" last Friday.
On the eve of his funeral in Louisville, Kentucky, Haye called for him to be honoured by the UK.
"I believe Muhammad Ali is the perfect recipient," said Haye, 35.
Haye started a petition in February to get Ali an honorary knighthood, awarded to recognise non-British citizens who have made major contributions to the UK.
"Whilst it is a huge shame this did not happen when he was alive, to award it posthumously in honour of the incredible legacy he leaves would be perfectly fitting," he added.
World leaders will be among thousands attending Friday's procession and memorial service in Louisville, where Ali was born in 1942.
Former US President Bill Clinton and actor Billy Crystal are also set to speak, though current US President Barack Obama will miss the memorial.
Meanwhile, Britain's former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, who will help carry Ali's coffin, told BBC Sport he was "shocked" as well as "honoured" to be asked.
"I just want to make sure everything goes well. He was my hero, he inspired me just by being confident.
"His legacy is not just to sport, it is bigger than sport. Ali is the father of boxing."
It lies by the River Nile, close to the Temple of Seti the First in Abydos.
Experts say the size of the 15 newly discovered graves indicates the high social standing of those buried.
It is believed the city was home to important officials and tomb builders and would have flourished during early-era ancient Egyptian times.
The discovery comes at a time when the country is trying re-energise its tourism industry, which has suffered amid militant violence since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in 2011.
Archaeologists have made a range of finds in the newly-discovered city including buildings, shards of pottery and tools.
It is believed that this location was home to important officials and tomb builders who may have been engaged in the construction of royal graves in the nearby sacred city of Abydos - a place of many temples, and a capital in an early period of ancient Egyptian history.
The area is in the southern province of Sohag, in Upper Egypt, home also to the city of Luxor, one of the country's most popular tourist sites.
"About a mile behind where this material is said to be we have the necropolis with royal tombs going from before history to the period where we start getting royal names, we start getting identifiable kings," Prof Chris Eyre, an Egyptologist based at the University of Liverpool, told the BBC.
"So, this appears to be the town, the capital at the very beginning of Egyptian history."
The discovery was made by an archaeological mission that belongs to the country's Antiquities Ministry, and not a foreign group, officials quoted in Egypt Independent website said.
Rajnath Singh said he would investigate whether "norms have been violated".
Analysts say it is unclear what action he could take as the BBC did not show the film in India, where it is banned.
The BBC Storyville film features an interview with a man facing the death penalty over the 2012 rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi.
Mukesh Singh is one of four men sentenced to death for the incident, which caused shock and revulsion around the world.
In the interview he appears to show no remorse, and instead suggests the victim might have survived if she had not fought back.
Although the film has not been shown in India, some activists were angry that he was interviewed at all.
Others were supportive and said the film should be shown to help spark the debate on rape in Indian society.
The film was due to be shown on Sunday on the BBC and the Indian channel NDTV.
But the authorities banned its broadcast in India.
The BBC brought forward its airing of the documentary and showed it on UK channel BBC Four on Wednesday night.
"We had asked to not release the documentary, but BBC still released it," the home minister told NDTV.
"We will investigate and the [Ministry of Home Affairs] will take action accordingly."
The BBC had earlier defended its decision to move forward its broadcast, saying it would "enable viewers to see this incredibly powerful documentary at the earliest opportunity".
The corporation said the documentary "handles the issue responsibly and we are confident the programme fully complies with our editorial guidelines".
The family of the student who was raped and killed have also given their backing to the documentary.
Her father described the film as "the bitter truth" and said everyone should watch it.
"If a man can speak like that in jail, imagine what he would say if he was walking free," he told NDTV.
Speaking to the BBC, Leslee Udwin, who made the documentary, described the reaction of the Indian authorities as misguided.
"I went out there not to point a finger at India - the opposite, to put it on a pedestal, to say not in my life have I seen another country go out with that fortitude and courage the way the Indian nation did," she said.
"Unfortunately what this ill-advised decision to ban the film is now going to do is have the whole world point fingers at India."
Although the BBC has only broadcast the documentary in the UK, versions of it uploaded by YouTube users have been widely shared in India.
YouTube said in a statement that it had complied with a request to take down a page hosting the documentary, but users quickly posted other links to versions of the film.
The BBC said the independent production company that made the film is currently taking steps to remove illegal uploads.
It confirms what was already suspected about our galaxy's growth: it started in the middle and grew outward.
This can be seen in the abundance of old stars near the centre of the disc.
Presented at the 227th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Florida, it is the largest such map ever assembled.
"We're characterising in really unprecedented detail how the galaxy is formed, via this snapshot of stellar ages across the disc," lead researcher Melissa Ness told the BBC.
The tendrils of the map extend out from the Earth, beyond the centre of the galaxy in one direction, and out to the very far reaches of the disc in the other.
"And we not only have these ages in the plane of the disc, but also moving up above the galactic plane," added Dr Ness, who works at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany.
To calculate the age of each star, she and her colleagues used data from two telescopes.
Firstly, the Apogee project - part of the ground-based Sloan Digital Sky Survey - sampled many thousands of stars, 300 at a time, using a wide swathe of wavelengths. These spectra help astronomers to work out the chemical composition of stars, but cannot determine their age directly.
So the team started with a subset of stars that had also been observed from space by the Kepler satellite. This telescope stares at a few stars for a long period of time, and can establish their mass.
"If we know the mass of these Kepler stars, we can determine their ages," Dr Ness explained. This enabled her team to build a model relating a star's mass and age to its colour spectrum, from the Apogee data.
That model could then be deployed to calculate ages for all the remaining stars, based purely on their spectra.
"This is somewhat revolutionary because ages have previously been considered very hard to get, particularly from stellar spectra," Dr Ness said. "They're important, but they're difficult."
Other techniques for gauging a star's age, like watching it spin, are much more painstaking.
"This is really the first time that we've been able to infer ages for such a large number of stars, rather than relying on this small subset of stars with special observations."
All the stars in the map are red giants - a very good place to start, Dr Ness explained, when peering across half a galaxy. "These are an extremely valuable star to get ages for, because they are very bright and we see them at very large distances."
And, she added, this cosmic slice of age statistics paints a pretty clear picture: "Our galaxy started out as a small disc, and it's grown from the inside out.
"That's something we very much suspected, but now we have the details that confirm all of this - because we couldn't know for sure, based on stellar ages just for stars nearby our Sun."

It's not a disease or an illness, but a condition you're born with.
People are affected in different ways.
Some people don't need a lot of help but others might need special support all their lives.
For someone with autism everyday life can be confusing and chaotic.
Their brain works differently so just communicating with people is hard. Simple things like talking to other people, reading people's body language and expressions can be difficult.
Some people will be able to speak normally while others won't be able to speak at all.
They might seem like they're not interested in people and find it hard to make friends and meet new people, preferring to spend time on their own.
It's sometimes difficult to tell people what they need, and how they feel. It's also hard to understand what other people think, and how they feel.
It can also make them over- or under-sensitive to sounds, touch, tastes, smells, light or colours.
People who are unable to speak might use sign language to communicate.
It's quite common to want to repeat things, so doing the same things every day, playing the same games and so on. Some people become really attached to their routine and don't like to change it.
They might not take part in games or activities with other people as they find it hard to use their imagination or be creative.
But they can be really good at remembering things so might have a lot of knowledge about one particular subject. A lot of people with autism have the potential to do really well at school, college and later on at work.
They might have tantrums but it's not because they're naughty, they're just trying to express themselves and it can be frustrating that they can't do this.
Nearly three in every four children with autism feel unhappy or anxious about things. It's not because they're autistic, but because they're not getting the help and support they need.
Another form of autism is called Asperger syndrome. People with Asperger do not have learning difficulties but still find the same things difficult as people with autism.
It's hard to express themselves and how they feel. They're likely to want to make friends and socialise with people, but they find it very difficult.
They don't have as many problems with talking but might still find it difficult to understand language, so seeing how other people think and feel is hard.
There are over half a million people in Britain with autism, that's one in every 100 people. When you include those people's families, over two million British lives are affected by autism every day.
No one knows why people are born with autism but there's lots of research going on into what causes it. We know boys are more likely to have the condition than girls and it can run in families.
There's no cure, people who are born with autism have it all their lives. Only one in every six people with autism end up with a full time paid job when they're older but they can still do a lot of things and learn a lot of skills.

Officials asked a Burnley fan to leave Bradford's stadium after repeated comments directed at the home player.
Another supporter left voluntarily, although no arrests were made, and Burnley have apologised to the Bantams player and pledged to investigate.
Gray tweeted that the two fans involved "still live in the stone ages".
Apologising to both the Bradford player and the club, Burnley said they "strongly condemn discrimination of any type".
Bradford also issued a statement which said the supporter, who denied racist behaviour, "was warned by match stewards that if such abuse was witnessed and continued he would be ejected".
Bradford added: "The spectator made a further comment and at this point the player reported the abuse to the assistant referee.
"Additional staff were deployed to the area in which Burnley supporters were seated and following continued abuse he was ejected.
"They refused to give any personal details and because the match was operated on an unreserved ticket basis we cannot identify the individual involved.
"However, there is CCTV footage of the incident and we are working closely with Burnley FC and West Yorkshire police on the matter."
The Cypriot full-back cut in from the left to fire low shots past Ofir Marciano from the edge of the box.
Hibs, with Efe Ambrose making his debut at centre-back, struggled to create chances in the first half and missed opportunities in the second.
Saints have won four straight games in all competitions, while Hibs have not tasted victory in four league matches.
It is Neil Lennon's side's first defeat since 2 December, ending an unbeaten stretch that reached 13 games.
Martin Boyle and substitute Grant Holt had the Leith men's most glaring chances when already 2-0 down, but a combination of bad finishing and good goalkeeping by Billy O'Brien denied them a way back into the contest.
St Mirren's lead was deserved and the opening goal came after Kyle Magennis had already cracked the crossbar with a volley for the hosts.
Demetriou, a 25-year-old signed in January, scored his first Buddies goal when composed play from Stephen McGinn was followed up by a fine defence-splitting pass by Stevie Mallan, which allowed Demetriou to shoot low at Marciano's near post.
Ambrose's debut had been a tentative one as he attempted to get back up to the pace of competitive matches, and less than a minute had elapsed in the second half when Demetriou struck again.
This time Lewis Morgan fed him and his right-footed, low shot went in off the post.
The game had been billed as a battle between two midfield brothers - St Mirren's Stephen McGinn and Hibs' John McGinn - and the Buddies are certainly benefitting from the former's quality and captaincy in the middle of the pitch.
Indeed Saints might have won by more if Cammy Smith had not been spurned by Marciano, and Morgan was more accurate with another shot from 16 yards.
St Mirren manager Jack Ross: "The calibre of the opposition shows how good we had to be tonight. We didn't just win the game, I thought we were excellent, created opportunities both halves, and thoroughly deserved the win.
"I played with Stephen McGinn the first time he was here - that's the only reason we got him back, because of our relationship, he wanted to play for me and this club. I don't think he should be playing in the Championship.
"He's been outstanding, and in terms of him taking on the responsibility of the captain's armband, it's clear to see how much he's thriving on that. He's got a real desire to drag this club forward."
Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon: "St Mirren thoroughly deserved to win - the hungrier team won, so I've no complaints. We've been on a very good run, but we're stepping off the gas a little bit, and you can't do that.
"We give them all the warnings before the game and they still didn't respond. All the 50-50s, second balls went to St Mirren because they wanted it more. It happens, it hasn't happened very often, it's a game gone, and we're giving other teams encouragement. We have to resurrect it very quickly and get back to where we were a week ago.
"That was the poorest we've played this season. We didn't look ready for the fight, and St Mirren were excellent - the best performance any team's played against us this season."

Martyn Day, co-founder of law firm Leigh Day, and solicitor Sapna Malik deny 19 misconduct charges.
A tribunal has heard they allegedly continued to bring claims despite having evidence their Iraqi clients were not innocent civilians.
Mr Day said the solicitors' code of conduct was "ingrained" in him.
As well as the misconduct charges against him, his firm and Ms Malik being heard at the tribunal, another solicitor - Anna Crowther - denies an allegation of destroying a key document.
Leigh Day pursued damages claims against the Ministry of Defence over the alleged mistreatment and unlawful killing of captives following the Battle of Danny Boy in May 2004.
During a press conference in February 2008, Mr Day and now-disgraced lawyer Phil Shiner outlined accusations of the torture and execution of up to 20 Iraqi civilians, and the torture of a further nine at nearby Camp Abu Naji..
Among them was a claim by Khuder Al-Sweady that his nephew, Hamid Al-Sweady had been murdered and tortured by the British Army.
The resultant £31m Al-Sweady inquiry later dismissed the claims as "entirely false", and found Hamid had been an armed insurgent who died in battle.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which has brought the case, has accused Leigh Day of pursuing the claims despite holding key evidence that "undermined" their authenticity.
Leigh Day had a document showing the claimants were not civilians but linked to the radical Shia group Office of the Martyr Al Sadr (OMS), the tribunal has heard.
Timothy Dutton QC, for the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) suggested to Mr Day, who has been a practising solicitor for nearly 40 years, that he had "lost sight" of his professional responsibilities.
He claimed Mr Day had an agenda "to get the issue of what happened at Danny Boy and its aftermath at Camp Abu Naji into the world's media, because you thought that was the best strategy and you actually lost sight of those other duties that cause you to keep that kind of strategy in balance".
But Mr Day replied: "It (the code) was always in my mind, will always be in my mind should I remain a solicitor, that these are the six core duties that we have to try and ensure that we always maintain the integrity of what we do."
Mr Dutton put it to Mr Day: "If properly read, what you said at that press conference was you endorsing your client's claim, then it follows of necessity that they were accusing the Army of a cover-up."
Mr Day replied: "On the balance of the evidence that we had seen at that stage, we thought it was more likely to be true than not, but that it was important to have a public inquiry to get to the bottom of it."
The tribunal has previously heard from defence lawyer Patricia Robertson QC who said the firm had "no agenda" to make money from the eight war crimes claims.
The incident happened outside Dornoch Academy at about 15:40 on Friday.
The boy was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness before being transferred to an Edinburgh hospital.
The road outside the school was closed for about five hours while an investigation was carried out. Anyone with information about the accident should contact police.
Police called to The Street on the ground floor of the centre at 16:25 BST said several males were involved.
Two others have also been stabbed. All victims are thought to be in their late teens or early 20s.
Five men, aged between 20 and 23, have been arrested in connection with the killing and are being held in custody, police said.
London Ambulance Service said it treated one man for stab wounds and another for minor injuries.
It is understood both injured men were taken to hospital from Stratford Underground station, however it is not clear where their injuries happened.
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Andy Kelly said: "We believe that shoppers at the centre may have filmed or photographed some part of the incident on their mobile phones.
"We encourage them to come forward and share this potentially vital material with us."
A spokesman from the shopping centre said: "Westfield can confirm an incident occurred this afternoon at Westfield Stratford City.
"Westfield is working closely with the police and emergency services, however as this is a police matter we cannot provide any further details at this stage."
Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said 95% of people it consulted wanted to end the £16,500 it spent a year on homeopathy.
However, a homeopathic doctor said it was "a sustainable ongoing" treatment.
Homeopathy uses highly diluted substances that practitioners say can cause the body to heal itself.
Dr Sue Wells, Wirral CCG's medical director, said the decision "wasn't about finance".
She said: "We nevertheless need to make sure the considerable money spent is used in the right way and gives the most benefit to Wirral residents."
The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence advises the NHS on the use of treatments and does not recommend homeopathy to treat any health conditions.
Bristol and London are believed to be the only areas left paying for homeopathy, according to the Good Thinking Society, which is campaigning to have it blacklisted on the NHS.
Michael Marshall from the charity said it was "a waste of money" and it was better to allocate resources to treatments with "tangible and clear, proven benefits".
But Dr Adrian Finter, a GP and homeopathic doctor, said he was disappointed.
"If patients are getting themselves better they will be less dependent on the doctor, on the system and the NHS."
Patient Ann Lewis, who suffered from crippling headaches, refused surgery and orthodox treatments in favour of homeopathy.
"I used to have massive headaches - three a week - some of which involved me having to lie in a room with a box over my head because I couldn't stand any light," said Ms Lewis.
"[Homeopathy] stopped them."
About 8,894 homeopathic items were prescribed across England in 2015, NHS Digital data shows.
German Shepherd Nero, six, jumped over railings in Watford which, unknown to his handler, had a 12ft (3.5m) drop on the other side.
The dog "landed badly", police said, breaking his neck in two places.
Officers said Nero, who was "injured doing what he loved, servicing his community and tracking down baddies", was in a stable condition.
He was with handler PC Clive Warncken of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire dog unit, when the accident happened in the early hours of Thursday morning.
A spokesman for the unit said: "Nero was immediately taken to a vet where it was discovered he had sustained two fractures to his neck."
In the past 542 million years, the average size of a marine animals has gone up by a factor of 150.
New research suggests bulkier animals generally fare better at sea.
Today's tiniest sea creature - with a body covered in a hard shall - is less than 10 times smaller than those from hundreds of millions of years ago, when measured in terms of volume.
At the other end of the scale, the mighty blue whale is more than 100,000 times the size of the largest animal 542 million years ago.
This was a crustacean with a clam-like, hinged shell.
The idea that natural selection could make animals gradually gain weight over millions of years isn't new.
The American fossil specialist Edward Drinker Cope - who was a 19th-Century palaeontologist - who examined fossils, found that the ancient ancestors of modern mammals were often smaller.
For example horses, can be traced a dog-sized animal from 50 million years ago.
But this pattern isn't the same across the whole animal kingdom.
Most groups of dinosaurs got bigger until they died out - but the birds that evolved from them, grew smaller and lighter because they needed to fly quicker.
Dr Noel Heim, from Stanford University in California, wanted to test Cope's findings in the vast realm of the ocean.
For five years he got dozens of workmates, students and even high school pupils, to look through all the scientific record for body size data.
They also measured hundreds of illustrations from old books about fossils.
Eventually they put together information on more than 17,000 groups of species, called genera. That's over 60% of all the animal genera ever to have lived.
This information showed animals were getting bigger and bigger over time.
The team also wanted to work out whether their massive size was driven by evolution, or was simply a matter of chance.
They put their size data from the oldest animals into a computer model where each species could die out, stay the same, get bigger or smaller.
The results that best matched the real fossil history was one where animals were genuinely bigger.
They researchers say larger species could probably move faster, burrow better in sediment in water, and eat larger prey.
More oxygen in the water may also have helped.
Spain international Llorente scored twice and Icelander Sigurdsson claimed the winner as they beat Liverpool 3-2.
Both have been linked with other clubs, but say they are not looking to move.
"I'm really happy here and I only want to play and score more goals," Llorente commented, while Sigurdsson said he paid no attention to media speculation about his future.
Asked if he would still be at Swansea after the January transfer window, Iceland international Sigurdsson said: "Yeah, unless something unbelievable changes which is not down to me.
"Of course I'm really happy here and I don't want to get relegated so I'll do my best to help the team.
"There's things written in the papers but I don't pay too much attention to it if I'm going or staying. As long as I'm here I'll do my best for the team and that's what I've always tried to do."
Swansea's first ever win at Anfield lifted them out of the Premier League relegation zone, having started the day bottom of the table.
It was the team's first victory since head coach Paul Clement took over on 3 January following the sacking of Bob Bradley.
Llorente has scored eight Premier League goals since joining Swansea in the summer of 2016 - with seven of those coming in his past 11 appearances.
He had been linked with league leaders Chelsea, having played under Blues boss Antonio Conte at Juventus.
Sigurdsson has contributed seven goals from midfield this season and has previously been linked with Everton, though it is not thought the Toffees are bidding for him in the current transfer window.
"At the moment I'm just here to do my job and that's to help the team to win games, and that's all I've been doing for the last few months," added Sigurdsson.
The executive of Aslef said industrial action has been suspended until a ballot of members is known.
It is recommending that a revised package offered by the company is accepted.
The drivers have taken strike action in the row over pay and conditions, such as the length of shifts.
The Scotland international, 26, tied a scarf to the goalposts after the first leg of the Champions League second-round qualifier at Windsor Park.
Celtic have been fined £4,000 for Griffiths' indiscretion and for picking up five bookings in the game.
Linfield have been punished for a series of incidents involving fans.
The Belfast club must pay almost £9,000 and have a section of the stadium closed during their next European tie.
Objects were thrown from the crowd, including a bottle aimed at Griffiths, while there was an attempted pitch invasion at full-time.
Celtic won the first leg 2-0, before winning their home game 4-0 to set up a third-round tie with Rosenborg.
The Glasgow side have been charged by Uefa over an "illicit banner" displayed during the second leg on Wednesday.
The chip-maker had warned Mr McAfee against renaming his current company - MGT Capital Investments - as "John McAfee Global Technologies".
Intel argued this amounted to trademark infringement.
It bought Mr McAfee's former company, McAfee Associates, in 2010.
The legal action has now been settled, and Mr McAfee has agreed not to use the phrases "McAfee Privacy Phone" or "John McAfee Global Technologies" in relation to cyber-security or security-related products and services.
Neither party admitted to wrongdoing in the settlement, which led to US district judge Paul Oetken dismissing the case five days later.
Mr McAfee has retained the right to use his name for advertising, promotions and presentations.
Ruth Patterson said she has major difficulties with the move.
She said: "It has shocked me to the core that my political party has gone back into government with Sinn Fein."
The DUP had hounded former Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble over the same issue in the past, she added.
She also criticised the DUP's recent policy of resigning ministers and then having them re-appointed.
The party had removed all but one of its ministers from the executive before moving them in and out of office after the murder of a former IRA man in August sparked a political crisis.
Ms Patterson told BBC NI's The View programme the policy had been "silly".
But the DUP's Arlene Foster, the current finance minster, who stood in for Peter Robinson when he stepped aside as first minister, has defended her party's rolling resignations.
She said: "I was one of the people that said it was very messy, but, as I said, we did not want to be in that position.
"We found ourselves in that position because of events that happened and we had to react to those events.
"We believe we did take the right way forward - now we are dealing with the big issues in front of us, which are paramilitary issues."
Mrs Foster said the decision to return to government had been the right one after the paramilitary report was made public last week.
She added: "There is criticism when we are out [of the executive] and there is criticism when we are in, but that is just the world we live in relation to politics."
Prof Jon Tonge, an expert on Northern Ireland politics from the University of Liverpool, said the DUP's decision had puzzled some people.
"I think there is much head-scratching and bewilderment within the DUP as to why they have gone back into the executive on the basis of a report which suggests the Provisional IRA is not only in existence, but bossing Sinn Féin," he said.
"That is not the DUP we once knew."
Peter Gibson is one unionist voter who has been swayed to change his vote because of recent events.
His father John was shot dead by the IRA in October 1993.
In 1998, he voted against the Good Friday Agreement and since then has backed the DUP, but he said he will not vote DUP again.
"After recent news, the publication of the report into paramilitary gangs last week not a chance," he said.
"[Now] they have broken every promise they have made."
Ms Patterson has recently put herself at odds with the party leadership after she was overlooked for an assembly seat in South Belfast that was given to former special adviser Emma Pengelly.
Mrs Pengelly has now become a junior minister in the Office of the First and deputy First Minister.
The Belfast councillor told the BBC she was considering her future in the party.
Stephen Walker's full report was broadcast on The View on BBC One Northern Ireland on Thursday 29 October.
The fire, which broke out at about 20:42 BST on Tuesday at the Blackpole Trading Estate, destroyed about 60 scrap vehicles, tyres and heavy machinery, Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue said.
Six engines tackled the blaze which was brought under control at 22:55.
The service said it was investigating the cause of the fire.
Three people were arrested after police stopped the vehicle in Lesmahagow on Friday during an "intelligence-led" operation.
Two men, aged 28 and 30, and a 28-year-old woman are in custody over alleged drugs offences.
They are expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.
The 29-year-old has joined from from Al Ain in the UAE on a two-year deal, after completing a routine medical.
Exact terms of the deal were not disclosed but local media have reported the former Sunderland striker will earn in excess of US$250,000 per week.
"I thank God for this special day, to my family, players and fans," he said.
Gyan will be officially unveiled next week.
During four years with Al Ain he scored 95 times in 83 appearances, and won three domestic league titles as well as being top scorer in the Arabian Gulf League three times.
Gyan's arrival marks the latest big-money signing in China, where the top clubs have splashed out millions of dollars on high-profile players such as Demba Ba and Paulinho.

A court has ruled that Stone serve the rest of his sentence for the 1988 Milltown Cemetery attack.
Stone had served 12 years of a 30-year term for the three murders at Milltown and three other sectarian killings.
He had been released on licence as part of the Good Friday Agreement but was jailed again for trying to kill Sinn Fein leaders at Stormont in 2006.
Stone was jailed for 16 years for the attempted murders of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness and other offences including possessing explosives.
The convicted killer had claimed to have been engaged in an act of performance art when he went to Stormont on the day Ian Paisley and Mr McGuinness were due to be nominated as Northern Ireland's first and deputy first ministers.
He was armed with knives, an axe, garrotte and a flight bag containing explosive fireworks, flammable liquids, a butane gas canister and fuses.
Stone, who suffers from hereditary motor neuropathy, was overpowered after trying to ignite the bag and throw it into the main foyer.
In 1988, Stone launched a gun and grenade attack on the Belfast funeral of three IRA members shot dead by British special forces in Gibraltar.
Three mourners - Thomas McErlean, John Murray and Kevin Brady - were killed and more than 50 injured.
Stone was also convicted of the murders of three other Catholic men - Patrick Brady, Kevin McPolin and Dermot Hackett - between 1984 and 1987.
Monday's court decision means the 58-year-old may not even be considered for release until March 2018.
Speaking in the court, Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan said of the murders: "There are serious aggravating factors. The effects on victims will live with them forever.
"The learned trial judge recommended a minimum term of 30 years before he should be considered for release and I agree. The appropriate minimum term in this case should be 30 years."

A new survey has showed that many young girls in the UK don't feel happy with the way they look.
The Girls' Attitudes Survey 2016 carried out by Girlguiding found that more than one in six girls aged between seven and 10 years old quite often feel embarrassed or ashamed about how they look.
Newsround asked a group of girls what advice they would give to a friend who was feeling down about the way they looked.
There is, however, a growing chorus from the conservative movement's libertarian wing that connects the perceived overreaction by a militarised local law enforcement to their critique of the heavy-handed power of government.
"The state is big and powerful and violent and can hurt you, whether it's the FDA, the state prosecutor or the local police force," writes Hot Air blog's Mary Katharine Ham, concisely summarising the gist of this libertarian argument.
Breitbart's John Nolte puts it a bit more sharply: "The media hate police but without them, who will ultimately force us to buy ObamaCare and confiscate our guns?"
On Wednesday night Congressman Justin Amash, a libertarian-leaning Republican embraced by the grass-roots Tea Party movement, tweeted that the news from Ferguson was "frightening", asking: "Is this a war zone or a US city? Gov't escalates tensions w/military equipment & tactics."
One of the leading figures in today's libertarian movement, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, offers his take in an opinion piece for Time magazine on Thursday afternoon:
"When you couple this militarisation of law enforcement with an erosion of civil liberties and due process that allows the police to become judge and jury - national security letters, no-knock searches, broad general warrants, pre-conviction forfeiture - we begin to have a very serious problem on our hands…
"Americans must never sacrifice their liberty for an illusive and dangerous, or false, security. This has been a cause I have championed for years, and one that is at a near-crisis point in our country."
Reason magazine's Ed Krayewski builds on this theme of a militarised police force as the spear-point of an intrusive government, causing more harm than good:
"What's happening in Ferguson certainly looks like a counter-insurgency," he writes. "If cops keep it up long enough, some residents might respond with an insurgency. Around the world, insurgencies are fueled by unemployed young men with few prospects. It's the way things like this tend to work, actions and reactions, supply meeting demand, in this case residents filling roles cops seem to be waiting to have filled."
He continues by noting that much of the criticism of law enforcement abuses are instigated by laws that intrude on individual rights.
"Whether they look like it or not, cops will be an occupying force seeking compliance from local residents on behalf of democratically elected central authorities," he writes.
Comments like these mark a sharp break from the previous conservative embrace of government authority when it comes to public safety issues.
"The modern GOP, the one that elected Richard Nixon and built its base in the South and the suburbs, established early on that it was the 'law and order' party," writes Slate's David Weigel. "Only recently, as violent crime rates have tumbled, has the libertarian tendency of the GOP reasserted itself."
In Sunday's New York Times magazine cover story, Robert Draper asks: "Has the 'libertarian moment' finally arrived?" He cited poll data showing young people embracing smaller, less intrusive government and concluded that the once sidelined ideology could be poised to take control of the Republican Party.
The piece started a debate over libertarianism's current influence within the conservative movement and was criticised from both the right and the left for being an "unsophisticated, laughable fantasy".
That was before Ferguson exploded, night after shocking night. Now, with a few exceptions, law-and-order conservatives are silent (look, for instance, at the front page of the conservative commentary site Town Hall, where Iraq and Hillary Clinton continue to dominate the conversation).
Perhaps the libertarian moment has arrived after all, borne in the ashes and smoke of Missouri riots.
Rob Kiernan, Andy Halliday, Matt Crooks, Harry Forrester, Michael O'Halloran and Joe Dodoo were all left out of the list submitted to UEFA.
Rangers play the first-leg against the Luxembourg side at Ibrox on Thursday.
Seven of Rangers' summer signings have been included in the squad.
Fabio Cardoso, Ryan Jack, Carlos Pena, Dalcio, Eduardo Herrera and Alfredo Morelos have been registered to play. Bruno Alves is also on the squad list, although he is currently in Russia on international duty, with Portugal playing Chile in the semi-final on Wednesday.
Rangers' eighth signing of the summer - Portuguese winger Daniel Candeias - could not be registered because paperwork from Alanyaspor, where he was on loan last season, has not arrived from Turkey in time.
Caixinha has said that he expects several players to leave Ibrox during this transfer window, as he completes his overhaul of the squad. Joe Garner has already left for Ipswich, and the six players left out of the European squad would also now seem surplus to requirements.
Further additions to the squad are also expected, with Rangers having seen bids for Norwich City's Graham Dorrans and Hearts' Jamie Walker rejected, while they have also been linked with Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean.
Gavin Bowie, 64, targeted vulnerable children who boarded buses he was driving in Glasgow and Cumbernauld.
He was found guilty of 15 sex offences against 11 boys, aged 12 to 16, dating back more than 20 years.
The High Court in Livingston heard he was caught after a victim recognised him after boarding a bus he was driving in Halifax, West Yorkshire.
Jailing Bowie, judge Lady Wolffe told him: "The boys you preyed on were all impressionable young boys in their early teens.
"You were a calculating and predatory individual, preying on the young and vulnerable for your own sexual gratification."
Lady Wolffe said it was "extremely concerning" that the background report on Bowie recorded him as having neither remorse for his crimes nor insight into his actions and their consequences for others.
The judge also ordered that Bowie's name should remain on the sex offenders' register indefinitely.
The court heard that Bowie picked out his victims from boys who boarded the buses he drove throughout the west of Scotland.
He allowed them to travel free then lured them to his home in Cumbernauld with promises of cannabis, alcohol and sweets.
Bowie also threatened some of the boys, saying he would hurt them or their family if they did not comply with his demands.
He was brought to justice after a passenger who boarded a bus he was driving in Halifax recognised him as his childhood abuser.
The court was told that it had been a complete coincidence that both Bowie and his victim, who was then aged 36, had moved to the English town from Scotland.
When the man reported Bowie to the police in 2013, it emerged that another victim had come forward 13 months before.
The chance encounter also led detectives to other victims who had used bus routes Bowie had worked on in Glasgow, Cumbernauld, and elsewhere in Scotland more than 20 years ago.
Officers said the girl was attacked in Westerton Park, Bearsden, at about 18:30.
Police Scotland said they were "following a positive line of inquiry".
A spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that officers are continuing inquiries after a 16-year-old girl was seriously sexually assaulted on Sunday within Westerton Park, Bearsden."
The ANC has dominated the political landscape since the first all-race elections in 1994.
But Mr Zuma has had to weather scandal, after being ordered to repay taxpayers' money spent on his private home.
Polls show the ANC may lose control of three key cities - Pretoria, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.
Some senior ANC officials have said Mr Zuma should stand down because of the scandals and the country's weak economy. Analysts say such calls would increase if the ANC does badly in these elections.
Security is tight after a number of ANC local councillors were shot dead - thought to be the result of in-fighting - in the final weeks of campaigning.

Could ANC lose capital?
The ANC, which led the fight against white minority rule, is under pressure from two parties - the Democratic Alliance and the Economic Freedom Fighters, who are competing in their first local elections under firebrand leader Julius Malema.
The economy is one of the main issues as people vote, with growth expected to be 0% this year, and unemployment at 27%.
Protests demanding better housing and amenities have also sprung up across South Africa.
In the Orlando West high school voting station, voting is more than just about municipal issues.
People here are voting for history too. They tell me that there was too much sacrifice under apartheid and although they are angry with their ANC, they are unwilling to openly support the Democratic Alliance, which they still see as a white party.
Others told me that they are voting to punish the ANC.
It reminds me of some of those who voted for Brexit as a protest vote about immigration but who did not actually want to leave the EU.
Some people are voting for the opposition to send a warning to the ANC about poor governance and corruption but they don't really want it out of power.
But whatever the reason, the ANC is facing its toughest contest since democracy came in 1994.
The vote comes a month after South Africa's treasury recommended President Zuma pay back $509,000 (£381,000) to the government for upgrades made to his private home.
The country's highest court ruled earlier this year that Mr Zuma repay some of the $23m of public funds spent on his house in 2009, ruling that he had violated the constitution by earlier failing to repay some of the money.
The upgrades included an amphitheatre, pool, chicken run and cattle enclosure. He had argued that the work was necessary for security reasons.
The next presidential elections are due in 2019 but Mr Zuma cannot stand because he is serving his second term.
American Troy Bradley and Russian Leonid Tiukhtyaev landed safely, their Two Eagles Balloon team said.
They claim to have beaten the world distance and duration records by flying for more than 137 hours and travelling more than 5,209 miles (8,383km).
To set the records the team needed to beat the existing records by 1%.
"The Two Eagles balloon team is pleased to report the Two Eagles balloon has landed safely just off the Baja coast near La Poza Grande," their team said in a statement.
"The pilots made a controlled descent to a gentle water landing about four miles off the Baja coast. The balloon is stable and still inflated and the pilots are fine."
The two pilots left Japan on Sunday and had aimed to land in Canada or the US. However, weather forced them to change course towards Mexico.
They were met in the sea by a Mexican fishing boat.
The statement stressed that the sea landing was acceptable "under the international rules governing the establishment of world records".
"Two around-the-world attempts using a different type of balloon landed in the water and were approved as records."
The two pilots needed to beat the existing records - both set in 1981 - by 1%.
For duration that meant staying aloft for about 138 hours and 45 minutes, and for distance they needed to travel about 5,260 miles.
The Two Eagles Balloon team said the landing "occurred at six days, 16 hours and 37 minutes", with the pilots covering the distance of 6,646 miles.
Gas-air balloons are difficult to steer, relying on the differing wind speed and direction at different altitudes.
In order to change height the pilots have only a helium release valve to go down and sandbags to jettison to go up.
The hi-tech "Two Eagles" balloon is made of a strong Kevlar and carbon-fibre composite, but weighs only 220 pounds (100kg).
It is fitted with monitors and other instruments that track their course and compile data to be submitted to record-keepers.
The specially-designed capsule sits beneath a huge helium-filled envelope and is designed to stay aloft for up to 10 days. The pilots live in a closet-like space with a very low ceiling.
The 23-year-old academy graduate has made 85 appearances for Quins since making his first-team debut in 2011.
Last week, the tighthead was named in England's 45-man elite player squad ahead of the autumn internationals.
"I have no doubt that he has the necessary qualities to be a major influence in our quest for trophies," director of rugby John Kingston said.
Quins have not disclosed the length of Sinckler's new deal at The Stoop.
Sinckler has represented England at under-20 level and previously trained with the senior squad in the summer of 2014.
The DUP's Gary Middleton saw poppies burning on one bonfire in the Creggan area and said offensive materials on all bonfires "must be challenged".
Police said they were investigating "flags and symbols" on the bonfire.
Meanwhile, officers have sent a file to prosecutors over symbols burned on a loyalist bonfire in Antrim on 11 July.
The loyalist bonfire in the Ballycraigy estate attracted criticism after effigies of republican politicians and Irish tricolours with sectarian and racist slogans were displayed.
The Irish News reported that police are bringing a "landmark prosecution" over the Ballycraigy bonfire.
A spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) told the BBC that prosecutors received a file from the police "in relation to allegations connected to activity at a bonfire in Antrim on 11 July 2014".
"That file was received last month and remains under active consideration," the PPS statement said.
In relation to the Creggan bonfire on Saturday night, Mr Middleton told the BBC's Nolan Show: "There was a poppy wreath placed on it, with a board in behind it [saying] something along the lines of 'blood-stained poppies'.
"Obviously it has caused concern within the community and I'm not going to be hypocritical. I understand too well that there is offensive material put on all bonfires across Northern Ireland, but at the same time we feel that it cannot go unnoticed and it needs to be challenged."
Sinn Féin councillor Kevin Campbell said he wanted to see an end to all bonfires because they encouraged anti-social behaviour and on-street drinking.
"Once the bonfires are lit they attract negative elements within the community," Mr Campbell said.
"It just becomes a hate-fest. I think they are absolutely wrong, the community has rejected them."
Ch Insp Tony Callaghan told the Nolan Show: "We are investigating the placing of flags and symbols on the [Creggan] bonfire.
"Inquiries are continuing and where there is evidence of an offence, we will consult with the PPS with a view to prosecution."
Bonfires are traditionally lit in many loyalist areas on 11 July, to commemorate the victory of the Protestant William III over his Catholic father-in-law, James II at the 1690 Battle of the Boyne.
On 15 August, some nationalist communities light bonfires to mark the Catholic feast of the Assumption, commemorating the Virgin Mary's death and assumption into heaven.
Jorge Sampaoli's side knew a win would move them two points behind leaders Barcelona and they went ahead through Wissam Ben Yedder's drilled strike.
But Rico fumbled Oscar Romero's inswinging cross with 15 minutes left, allowing Aleksandar Katai to bundle in.
The Spanish keeper redeemed himself to save a Katai free-kick and a Deyerson effort as Alaves finished strongly.
The result leaves third-placed Sevilla four points behind Barca after 26 matches and three points behind Real Madrid, who have a game in hand. Alaves stay 11th.
Asked about his error, Rico said: "It was a move which was unlucky for us. We will keep going like this, we will keep fighting and we will not give up until the end of La Liga."

Leaders of the Reform and Conservative movements joined a civil disobedience prayer service held by a group called Women of the Wall on Wednesday.
It campaigns for the right of women to perform the same rituals as men there.
But when they approached the holy site, Orthodox Jews tried to block them and grab Torah scrolls they were carrying.
According to Israel's Haartez newspaper, police had issued special permits allowing the group to bring Torah scrolls, but had not given advance notice to the site's Orthodox administrators.
"We will not forfeit our right to be here," Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, told Haaretz. "We will change this place. We will change this country and make this a home for all Jewish people."
The Western Wall is a remnant of the retaining wall of the compound which contained two Biblical Jewish temples, and is one of the holiest sites in Judaism.
The compound is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary).
According to Orthodox Jewish beliefs, women should pray in a separate area from men at the Western Wall, and should not read aloud from holy texts or wear religious garments.
"Women of the Wall today offended thousands of male and female worshippers when they held a mixed prayer protest in the women's section, and debased Torah scrolls," said Shmuel Rabinowitz, Rabbi of the Western Wall.
Earlier this year, the Israeli cabinet approved a new space for mixed prayer. But Women of the Wall says it has not been created because of pressure from ultra-Orthodox parties.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Wednesday's "unfortunate incident" would "not help advance a solution for prayer arrangements".

Stuart Craig was given the cue, and a case, at the Snooker Legends show in Plymouth after he partnered with the ex-world champion in a doubles game.
It was signed by O'Sullivan and fellow snooker stars Ray Reardon, John Virgo, Jimmy White, and referee Michaela Tabb.
But it was stolen from him when he was walking in the city the next day.
The cue, won on Saturday night, was taken from Mr Craig on 23 August when he was walking from his mother's house after showing her his prize.
He told police he was approached by a stranger on Ferrers Road in the St Budeaux area at about 17:40 BST, and the cue was snatched after a short conversation.
The man demanded £20 for its return but fled towards St Budeaux Square after Mr Craig handed over the cash.
Det Con Rob Gordon, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "We are appealing for witnesses, but would also like to hear from anyone locally who has been offered the chance to purchase this unique cue and case.
"It has been signed by a number of snooker legends and is a unique piece of sporting memorabilia; we are desperate to reunite Stuart with his prize."
The man who stole the cue was white, 5ft 8ins (1.73m) tall, of slim build and wearing dark glasses and a hoodie, police said.

"Everyone locks their doors, they're scared," said Maria, who came to America illegally from Mexico 23 years ago. "We close blinds. It looks like a wasteland."
Maria is one of an estimated 11 million "undocumented immigrants", many of whom have lived in the US for decades, and have American-born children.
The lives of many undocumented residents of Texas' Rio Grande valley have changed dramatically since President Trump took office with his pledge to crack down on illegal immigrants.
Maria's 16-year-old daughter, Stephanie, is sitting slumped in her chair in the garden moaning quietly. Stephanie, a US citizen, has cerebral palsy and is also plagued by high fevers the local doctors can't explain.
Her doctor says it's imperative that she sees a specialist doctor in Corpus Christi, 160 miles away.
But that would involve driving through a Border Patrol immigration checkpoint.
Maria does not dare risk the drive.
"We're scared that her condition is going to deteriorate", said Maria. "But what I'm scared of is that I'll cross a check point and then who's going to take care of my children?"
Maria is also afraid to walk her son Joseph, nine, to the school bus in the mornings.
Many of the mothers along her street peer through curtains as their children walk to the bus, texting each other updates on each child's progress as they walk down the street on their own.
This takes a toll on Joseph, also a US citizen, who is now afraid to go to school at all.
"I tell him: 'It's OK love, you go to that bus,'" said Maria. "But he's told me I'm scared I'm going to come back and you're not going to be in the house."
Compounding the fear of undocumented Hispanics in Texas is a new state law, Senate Bill 4 or "SB4".
Traditionally in the US, the police don't enforce immigration law. They leave that to the immigration authorities.
But the SB4 bans police departments throughout the state from adopting a policy of non co-operation with America's immigration authorities.
The law is widely expected to lead to police officers throughout Texas asking those they suspect of being illegal for their immigration papers during routine police stops.
The new law in Texas does not come into effect until September, and is currently being challenged. But that has done little to dampen the widespread alarm amongst Texas' 10 million Hispanics.
During the election campaign, President Trump promised to oust millions of undocumented people, at one point controversially casting most of them as criminals. Later, he pledged to deport the criminals first.
The crackdown actually predates the new president and has been going on for years. President Barack Obama deported around three million, more than any recent president.
But shortly after taking office, President Trump scrapped his predecessor's priority list for deportations, which had put criminals at the top.
President Trump then issued his own executive orders making criminals and non-criminals an equal priority for deportation.
In his first 100 days in office, 41,000 known or suspected illegal immigrants were deported, most of them criminals.
But the number of those deported who had no criminal record more than doubled compared to the same period in 2016, to over 10,000.
President Trump also recently scrapped the protections President Obama's administration offered to undocumented parents who were law-abiding.
"Nobody wants families split and the way to ensure that if you're a family is to not come to this country illegally" said Jim Brulte, the Chairman of the Republican Party in California.
"Sometimes the sins of the father are visited upon the sons" he said.
Almost 2,000 miles from Maria's house in a neighbourhood in San Diego, California, the Duarte family have felt the impact of this policy change.
The Duarte children were getting ready for school one Tuesday morning in May, when Border Patrol agents arrested both of their parents and took them to an immigrant detention centre.
"We just sat down and cried," said Yarely Duarte, 12.
The first night, Yarely and her twin sister Aracely moved their beds into the same room as their two teenage brothers, for comfort.
The oldest brother Francisco, 19, took charge - cooking, buying the food and helping get his younger sisters off to school.
Border Patrol initially accused parents Rosenda and Francisco Duarte Snr of involvement in international human trafficking, but later dropped the accusation. Neither parent has a criminal record.
Rosenda Duarte was released from detention on bail in late June while her case is reassessed. But she and her husband, who is still in detention, still face possible deportation.
Mark Lane, who gives legal advice to other scared immigrants in the community, said he gets 10 to 15 calls a day.
He said: "We had one family that we're dealing with over the last two months. They've taken three separate members of the family. It's happening all over."
Back in Brownsville, Texas, Maria is now preparing to sign custody of her children over to her sister in case she is deported.
She doesn't want to risk her children, Stephanie and Joseph, being left alone, or being put into foster care.
Hundreds of other undocumented parents across America are making alternative custody arrangements for their children, as President Trump's crackdown on undocumented immigrants gets under way.
For decades, neither political party in America has been able to solve the problem of the 11 million undocumented immigrants.
Many Democrats want to offer the majority who are non-criminals a chance to become US citizens.
Republicans generally oppose this, and many want to see the existing law, which requires the removal of all illegal immigrants, enforced.
"There's not much of a choice when it comes to enforcing the law," said Timothy Robbins, acting chief of staff of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"At times, there are going to be families that are separated. It's very, very difficult especially for the children but the reality is our officers are going to enforce the law."

Ciftci scored in Rodgers' first pre-season friendly match, a 2-2 draw with Celje in Slovenia on Thursday.
The 24-year-old striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Turkish side Eskisehirspor.
"It's good to be back and I'm very happy to work with a big manager like this again and hopefully be part of things for the future," he said.
The Scottish champions paid Dundee United £1.5m to sign Ciftci last summer.
He scored four goals in 12 games before switching to Eskisehirspor in January, netting another four goals in the Turkish top flight.
Rodgers has allowed fellow strikers Colin Kazim-Richards, Carlton Cole, Anthony Stokes and Stefan Scepovic to move on but Ciftci, who has three years to run on his contract, has been offered the chance to prove himself.
"It's been almost two weeks that we've been working and it's been very good with the new manager," he told Celtic TV.
"Everything's new and it's been very positive on the training ground and we worked hard in the game as well."
Rodgers changed all 11 players at half-time against Celje, with Stuart Armstrong setting up the goals for Ciftci and Tom Rogic in the second 45 minutes.
"It's always good to get a goal but the most important thing is to get the fitness back, to do the right things that the manager asks on the pitch," added Ciftci.
"To get a goal was great but we were 2-0 down at the time and it was a really good attitude from the boys to get back to 2-2."
Rodgers was impressed by the Turk, describing the striker's performance as "excellent".
"I thought he held the ball up really well, he pressed the ball and we ask our strikers to have that ability to press the game and the goalkeeper and I thought he was very good," he said.
"He brought others in and obviously it was good positioning to score his goal."

The LW252 signal, which brings programmes to listeners across the UK, including parts of Northern Ireland that cannot access an FM service, was due to stop in January.
It will operate a full service in 2015, reduced hours in 2016 before working towards a full shutdown in 2017.
RTÉ said that it had made the decision after listeners raised concerns.
Head of RTÉ Radio 1 Tom McGuire said they had listened particularly to the concerns raised by and on behalf of the elderly Irish in the UK.
"Cost reduction remains a key priority for RTÉ and we remain convinced that, in the longer term, longwave has had its day.
"Nonetheless and despite the mid-term cost impact, RTÉ believes it is necessary to take a collaborative approach and slow this transition."
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has announced it is prepared to work with RTÉ to commission specific research to understand the community in the UK who listen to the longwave service.
The research will be conducted next year, will be funded by the department and will include perspectives from community groups representing the Irish elderly in the UK.
The music star said early testing could save "millions of pounds each year" for the NHS, in an interview with the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
His charity, the Elton John Aids Foundation, has offered to finance HIV testing in Lambeth, south London, which has the UK's highest HIV rate.
The PM says the UK is driving advances in HIV prevention and treatment.
About 40% of people diagnosed with HIV in 2014 were diagnosed late, according to Public Health England (PHE) statistics, which Prime Minister Theresa May described as having "a significant impact on their long-term prognosis".
Sir Elton said early testing was essential to ensure people were "diagnosed, they're put on treatment, they won't spread the disease - and we'll know where we stand with the population".
He referenced a project his foundation had implemented at King's College Hospital in London, which allows individuals to be tested for HIV at the same time as receiving a blood test, as an example of how more people can be checked for the disease.
"Most people are willing to have that, and otherwise they wouldn't have a HIV test," he said. "It is something we want the government to get more involved in."
He added: "We can solve this, we can stop this disease from spreading."
On Thursday, NICE announced new guidance aimed at increasing testing in people with undiagnosed HIV in England.
The updated guidance recommends all patients in areas with "high" and "extremely high" rates of HIV should be offered a test on admission to hospital, if they have not previously been diagnosed with HIV and are undergoing a blood test for another reason.
In extremely high-rate areas, hospitals should offer the tests even if they are not having blood tests as part of their care, NICE recommends.
But councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said achieving what NICE was asking was going to be difficult.
"The strain placed on councils by the cuts by central government to public health budgets would make commissioning HIV testing in all surgeries and hospitals in high and extremely high-risk areas an unaffordable burden.
"Despite these limited resources, testing those in high-risk areas must always be a priority. Councils are commissioning HIV testing in a variety of settings."
The Department of Health maintained councils had been provided with sufficient funding.
David Furnish, Sir Elton's husband and chairman of the Elton John Aids Foundation, said that he hoped that by funding testing in Lambeth - the UK local authority with the highest rate of HIV - they would help councils to see that "short-term investment pays out handsomely in the long run".
The British HIV Association believes that testing for HIV is "very cost effective" and that "deaths due to late diagnosis are completely preventable through excellent treatments".
But, Mr Furnish said, it was vital to combat the stigma surrounding HIV, which Sir Elton described as "our biggest obstacle" to beating the disease.
Sir Elton praised the prime minister for her support of World Aids Day, and said he had met Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
"We're wanting to work with him at close... because unless you work together there's no point," he said.
It is estimated that 103,700 people are living with HIV in the UK and 17% of people with the virus are unaware of their infection, so risk unintentionally passing it on to their sexual partners.
Asked by Victoria Derbyshire about his thoughts on the forthcoming presidency of Donald Trump, in relation to HIV, he urged governments around the world to "keep their mandate about Aids".
He said HIV would "balloon again and become another catastrophe" were this not to happen.
"If governments in America say 'we're going to stop funding', it's a very scary time and it would be a tragedy for the world," he added.
Sir Elton was also questioned about the possibility of meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss gay rights in the country - the pair have previously spoken by phone, but a meeting between the two was postponed in May.
The singer said he was "very hopeful" it would happen, but added: "He's a busier man than I am."

Social workers asked a judge to look into the case after allegations were made by a number of children.
Some of the abuse, which was videoed on occasion, allegedly took place at a Birmingham hotel.
Judge Hilary Watson concluded it was "highly probable" the children had been forced to perform sex acts on animals.
"Such suggestions might seem fantastical but become a grim reality when seen in the context of my findings that the children have been made to perform sexual activities with each other," she wrote in her judgement.
She made a series of findings of facts after analysing evidence at a family court hearing in Coventry.
More on this and other stories in Coventry and Warwickshire
Judge Watson said Coventry City Council was the local authority with responsibility for the children and that four children aged between eight and 14 were at the centre of the inquiries.
The claims had been made about a man they knew, who denied the allegations.
Det Ch Insp Ian Green, from West Midlands Police, said three people were arrested in May 2015 on suspicion of rape, but were told they would face no further action in July.
"The case is currently being reviewed and the evidence heard at a recent civil court hearing will feature in that review," he said.
Coventry City Council declined to comment.
Bellew, 34, moved up from cruiserweight to beat fellow Briton David Haye in a heavyweight contest in March and considered retiring after the bout.
However, he says he has "more left in the tank" and talks have taken place about fighting WBC champion Deontay Wilder or WBO holder Joseph Parker.
"I love the sound of heavyweight champion of the world," said Bellew.
"It's a big goal, it's a big ask."
Liverpudlian Bellew made the decision to continue following talks with promoter Eddie Hearn and a fight with former WBA, IBF and WBO champion Tyson Fury or a rematch with Haye are possible.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Bellew added: "Eddie has had talks regarding Deontay Wilder. We have spoken with Joseph Parker's people and Tyson Fury's representatives have been in touch with my people.
"It seems like I am the most hunted man on the planet at the moment."
Bellew, who has 29 wins and a draw from 32 fights, broke his hand in the fight against Haye.
"I haven't punched with the right hand yet. I can clench a fist, shake hands and I am ready to get back to work," he said.

The consortium, which also includes George Taylor and Douglas Park, offered to invest £6.5m in the club recently.
They have bought 13m shares at 20p each and are now the group with the single largest shareholding at the club.
And Laxey have revealed they made the deal in a bid to stop Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley taking control.
Laxey were the largest shareholder in the club but have now sold their stake for almost £2.7m.
And the investment firm's chief Colin Kingsnorth has revealed he sold the shares to Park, Letham and Taylor, who have been labelled the Three Bears, in order to stop Ashley taking over at Ibrox.
Ashley, who owns around 9% of Rangers, has loaned the club £3m in recent months but his plan to use a share issue to increase his stake to just under 30% was rejected by the Scottish Football Association because of his dual interests.
Kingsnorth also admitted his disillusionment with the ruling Ibrox regime after Norman Crighton, Laxey's man on the board, decided to quit earlier this month.
"I sold because a fans-based group were hopefully going to be the best placed to take on Ashley's power," Kingsnorth said.
"After Ashley removed Norman Crighton, Ashley's most vocal critic, it was obvious David Somers [chairman] was just a wet fish agreeing anything Ashley wanted.
"I am sure the Three Bears are an upgrade on us for fans and hopefully this is the start of the ownership being in the right hands."
Rangers recently revealed they need £8m of new funding to stay afloat in 2015.
Park, Letham and Taylor made their funding offer in the wake of the club's AGM and have had contact from the Rangers board regarding the proposal.
Letham has already loaned the Scottish Championship club money.
Park, who owns coach firm Parks of Hamilton, is one of Scotland's most successful businessmen, and Taylor currently owns 3.2% of Rangers.
Jordon Mutch and George Evans will compete for midfield spots with Joey van den Berg and John Swift.

"Rafael Benitez has about 50 players, but that's what happens if you're working at a big club with the funds to make a good team.
"We're going to work very hard to get a result, as we want to work hard for the fans and to stay up towards the top of the table."

Reading have the best home record in the Championship, having only lost twice at the Madejski Stadium.
Newcastle are the best team away from home in the Championship, with 13 wins on the road. Something has to give in this one.
Reading were not convincing in their win against Wolves on Saturday. They probably need another four wins from their remaining 11 games to seal a play-off spot.
Newcastle have forged a five-point lead over Brighton at the top, and anything other than automatic promotion is now unthinkable for their fans.
One of the big talking points at Reading in the past couple of weeks has been the low attendances, despite the excellent results. Stam and his team will enjoy playing in front of a full house.
David Beckham joined tributes to "an amazing, talented player" who was found dead at home on Sunday. It is understood he was found hanged.
A book of remembrance has been opened at the Football Association of Wales (FAW) offices in Cardiff, and an inquest is due to open on Tuesday.
Wales and Tottenham star Gareth Bale said the death was a "massive shock".
"I don't think anybody ever thought anything like this would happen," Bale said in a statement on the Spurs website.
"Everyone is devastated and it is a massive loss to everyone in football. It is a tragedy, everyone still can't get their head around it and all our condolences go out to his family and his kids. It is a hard time.
"We were on the up, he changed the way we play and the whole mentality of our game. It is a massive loss, but we will try and carry on the best we can in his honour."
His former team-mate Dean Saunders said Speed would be the last person he could imagine in this situation.
"As a man, you couldn't contemplate him doing something like that," he said.
"He's the one person you'd think 'no - absolutely no chance'," he added.
"It's not as if football was causing him a problem because he's got the team going in the right direction.
"I'm sure whatever comes out, comes out. I just wish I could have spoken to him before... maybe I could have just said something."
Wales assistant manager Raymond Verheijen said Speed had appeared "very determined" at a meeting last week looking forward to the World Cup qualifying games.
"If you look at him last Wednesday when we had the [World Cup] fixture meeting in Brussels, he was so dynamic in this seven-hour meeting with all of the other countries, fighting for the best schedule for Wales," he said.
"If you knew him as a person then it is totally the opposite of what happened yesterday," he said.
FAW chief executive Jonathan Ford said he was "absolutely in shock, totally numb".
"The messages of respect have just been unbelievable - some really, really heartfelt messages coming through," he said.
"Gary commanded such great respect on and off the field. He lit up a room.
"He was one of those unbelievable people that was able to walk in a room, whether it was full of players or full of fans, and just light it up. He had a real sparkle in his eyes."
The FAW says it has opened a book of remembrance at its offices in Cardiff which will be open from 09:00 to 16:00 GMT.
Speed, who leaves behind a wife and two children, had appeared on BBC One's Football Focus show on Saturday afternoon, just hours before his death.
Figures across the world of football expressed their shock.
Beckham, speaking in Jakarta, where his LA Galaxy team are playing, said: "I think he was an amazing, talented player, a player that had such a glittering career and just began a great career in management as well."
Welsh international Craig Bellamy was withdrawn from the Liverpool squad for Sunday's game against Manchester City by his manager Kenny Dalglish, who felt he was too upset to play.
Former Wales striker John Hartson had been due to commentate for the BBC at Swansea's Liberty Stadium but pulled out because he was so upset.
"It's extra hard to take. It's such a waste, such a waste. I just couldn't see it coming," said Hartson.
"It's so sad and tragic. A young man's life, fit and healthy and [he] had the world in his hands."
Manchester United and England striker Michael Owen, who had attended the same school as Speed in Flintshire, said he was a rare player who was respected by all supporters.
The flags outside the Welsh assembly in Cardiff Bay are flying at half-mast as a mark of respect.
Assembly member Bethan Jenkins called on fellow politicians to observe a minute's silence during Tuesday's plenary session in the debating chamber.
Speed enjoyed a long and distinguished playing career which included periods with Everton, Newcastle, Bolton, Sheffield United and Leeds, where he won the First Division title in 1992, the year before it became the Premier League.
He was also Wales' most capped outfield player, winning 85 international caps, and managed Sheffield United before becoming Wales boss in December 2010.
After a difficult start, Wales' 4-1 friendly win over Norway on 12 November was his side's third successive win.
Cheshire Police said on Sunday that Speed's body was discovered at his home in Huntington, near Chester, on the outskirts of Chester.
Officers said there were no suspicious circumstances.
The BBC Radio Wales Phone-In with Jason Mohammad from 12:00 GMT features a two-hour special on Gary Speed.
The 43-year-old, who is currently General Manager High Performance of South African rugby, will start in the new post in July on a three-year deal.
Erasmus will work alongside head coach Anthony Foley at Thomond Park.
"It's a challenge I humbly accept but with a clear desire to use all my past experience to make Munster one of the top rugby clubs in Europe," he said.
Munster have struggled this season, exiting the European Champions Cup at the group stage and lying a lowly seventh in the Pro12.
Erasmus played for Free State Cheetahs and the Golden Lions in the Currie Cup, and for the Cats and Stormers in the Super 12.
He won 36 caps with the Springboks and after retiring moved into coaching, guiding the Cheetahs to Currie Cup glory in 2005.
The following year, his Cheetahs side shared the Currie Cup trophy with the Blue Bulls.
In 2007, the Eastern Cape native served as technical adviser for South Africa during their Rugby World Cup winning campaign in France before becoming Head Coach of the Stormers and Director of Coaching at Western Province.
Erasmus served a second term as technical adviser to the Springboks during the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand before assuming the General Manager High Performance role.
Michael Burke, 37, from Rochdale, was earlier found guilty of eight counts of rape and another serious sexual offence over an 18-year-period.
Ms Danczuk, 33, the estranged wife of MP Simon Danczuk, waived her right to anonymity as a sexual offence victim.
Burke was cleared of nine other serious sexual offences after a three-week trial at Manchester Crown Court.
He had claimed his accusers were involved in a "conspiracy" against him.
Following sentencing, Ms Danczuk tweeted a tribute to the other two victims, describing their courage as "inspirational".
She also thanked the police and the prosecution barrister for their support during the criminal proceedings.
She added: "There are no winners in this case however my healing starts now and I am pleased there is now closure."
Ms Danczuk had previously branded her brother a "monster" who had "robbed" her of her childhood and made her suicidal.
During the trial, the mother-of-two told the court her brother abused her at the family home in Middleton, near Rochdale, from the age of six or seven - progressing to rape when she was aged 11 - until she was in her mid-teens.
Passing sentence, Judge Andrew Gilbart said: "She was your little sister, over whom you held sway.
"Your actions affected her emotionally, well into adulthood.
"You groomed her. Your little sister was your playmate and susceptible to anything you suggested. You have shown not a shred of remorse."
Estonian security official Eston Kohver was sentenced to 15 years in a Russian jail last month.
He was swapped for Aleksei Dressen, who was imprisoned in Estonia in 2012 on charges of spying for Moscow.
Kohver's case provoked a diplomatic row, with Estonia and the EU insisting he was abducted from Estonian soil, a charge Russia denied.
Dressen was a former officer in Estonia's security police, who was found guilty of passing secret data to Russia for years after Estonia's independence in 1991.
He had been arrested in 2012 along with his wife, Victoria Dressen, who was given a suspended sentence.
According to the Russian Federal Security Service, the swap took place on a bridge over the Piusa River that separates Russia's western Pskov region and Estonia's Polva county.
The exchange came after "long-term negotiations", the head of Estonia's Internal Security Service, Arnold Sinisalu said at a televised news conference, sitting alongside Kohver.
The Estonian agent said he was glad to be back home and thanked "all the authorities who helped me get back to Estonia, who helped me to, so to say, endure in prison".
Relations between Russia and its Baltic neighbours have been uneasy since they joined Nato and the European Union in 2004.
They have worsened since the crisis in Ukraine, where Russia is accused of arming separatists in the east - which Moscow denies.
Councillor Gill Mitchell said the closure of Eaton Place Surgery will affect care and called on NHS England to open new premises in the area.
NHS England said Ms Mitchell was wrong and 15 other local surgeries were "ready to welcome patients".
The surgery is due to shut when the practice's two partners retire.
Patients registered at the surgery are worried about having to travel further to find a new GP, according to Ms Mitchell.
"They would like a GP practice in their neighbourhood in Kemptown and that really is not too much to ask", she said.
Local MP Simon Kirby has also written to NHS England to voice concerns about the closure of the surgery, which is based in a district of Brighton.
A spokeswoman for NHS England said it had addressed the points made by Mr Kirby and was working to help those patients affected.
"The only way we can guarantee patients continued access to care after this date is to ask them to re-register with one of the 15 other surgeries located nearest to Eaton Place Surgery," she said.
She added that the 15 surgeries had the capacity to take on all patients affected by the closure and six of them were based within a mile of Eaton Place.
However, Dr Richard Vautrey from the British Medical Association (BMA) warned that the closure will increase pressure on surgeries in the area.
"Those practices will end up picking up more patients and they will not necessarily have the resources to be able to take on more GPs", he said.
Patients registered with Eaton Place Surgery are due to receive a letter from NHS England with further information about registering with a new doctor.
The analysis of 5,700 elderly men in Norway showed those doing three hours of exercise a week lived around five years longer than the sedentary.
The authors, writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, called for campaigns to encourage fitness in older people.
The study comes as a charity warns about low levels of exercise.
In the study - conducted by Oslo University Hospital - found both light and vigorous exercise extended life expectancy.
Official advice in the UK recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week in the over-65s.
The trial tracking 68 to 77 year olds found that doing less than an hour a week of light exercise had no impact.
But overall those putting in the equivalent of six, 30-minute sessions of any intensity, were 40% less likely to have died during the 11-year study.
The report said: "Even when men were 73 years of age on average at start of follow-up, active persons had five years longer expected lifetime than the sedentary."
It added that physical activity was as "beneficial as smoking cessation" at reducing deaths.
"Public health strategies in elderly men should include efforts to increase physical activity in line with efforts to reduce smoking behaviour."
The report did not look at how active people were earlier in their lives.
However, the study comes as the British Heart Foundation publishes a report warning people are getting too little exercise.
Its analysis shows that the percentage of adults doing no moderate exercise is:
Julie Ward, from the charity, said: "Regular physical activity, whatever your age, is beneficial for your heart health and ultimately can help you live longer.
"However, our latest statistics show that nearly half of people in the UK do no moderate exercise whatsoever - a rate higher than many European countries.
"Our message is that every 10 minutes counts and that making simple, more active changes to your daily routine can set you on a path to improved heart health."
After defeating fellow Valencia side Benicalap C on 3 June, Serranos B's under-11 manager was removed from his position.
"We believe in encouraging respect for your opponents. After the result, we decided that the manager should leave," Pablo Alcaide, who helps run the side, told El Pais.
However, the Spanish newspaper also published comments from the manager's lawyer, who insisted his client had not pushed players to score as many as they could.
The manager instead instructed his side "to pressure only in their own half" in the eight-a-side game, but Benicalap C "continued to attack and left spaces in behind", the lawyer said.
The game was Benicalap C's final match of the season. They finished bottom of the league with zero points and 247 goals conceded from their 30 matches.
El Pais reports that such one-sided scores are not infrequent in Spanish youth football, but many clubs stop counting once they have scored more than 10 goals.
The English FA's latest guidance to youth coaches, published in 2012, is designed to "challenge the win-at-all-costs mentality that is stifling development and enjoyment for young people".
The fire at the woman's home, in Rosapenna Parade, was reported to police at about midday on Thursday.
Neighbours tried to break into the house when they saw smoke, but were not able to help the pensioner.
The body of the victim, believed to be in her 80s, was found on the ground floor of the property after the fire.
Residents in the street were visibly upset by her death. They told the BBC that the woman was well known in the area, having lived in the house for many years.
The victim's name has not been released as she still has to be formally identified.
Police said they are investigating the cause of the fire but early indications are that it was accidental.
The semi-detached house was badly damaged by the blaze.
Nicola Brown, 43, from Portsmouth, was also found guilty of two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to her son, Jake.
His father, Jason Brown, 44, was found not guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Winchester Crown Court was told Jake had previously suffered 17 broken ribs.
As the verdicts were delivered, Nicola Brown shouted: "I didn't do it. I didn't do it."
Jurors heard how Jake died on 19 December 2014 due to "an impact to the head requiring substantial force".
The court was played a 999 call made by Brown, in which she said he had stopped breathing while she was feeding him.
She told the operator he had fallen out of his Moses basket the day before.
The broken ribs had been caused by an adult squeezing him, the court was told.
Brown had not informed her doctor she was expecting Jake and social services were alerted to the "concealed pregnancy".
Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, said Jake had been born in "unusual circumstances" at the couple's former home in Agincourt Road.
He said: "He arrived into this world by falling into and being caught by the pyjamas or tracksuit bottoms of Nicola Brown."
He said Brown, later of Seymour Road, had a "short fuse" and her attack on Jake was motivated by "anger".
Det Supt Scott MacKechnie said: "The treatment of newborn Jake by his own mother is very upsetting and shocking.
"This has been a complex investigation piecing together evidence of what occurred during Jake's 19 days of life, to establish how he died and who was responsible."
Portsmouth Safeguarding Children's Board confirmed a serious case review would be held into Jake's death.
Sentencing was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
Galway are struggling this season and sit bottom of the Premier Division while the Candystripes are third after winning four of their five games.
The tie of the rounds sees Shamrock Rovers take on Bohemians in a Dublin derby.

James Grant of Grant founded Grantown on Spey around the manufacture of linen 250 years ago.
On 14 May, residents and visitors will be asked to fill socks and stockings with donations. The footwear will then by hung on washing lines in the town.
The money will help to fund Grantown 250 anniversary celebrations.
A festival is to be held in the town, near Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park, in June.
Celebrations were held last summer to mark the laying of the first foundation stones of Grantown on Spey in 1765.
They included a picnic which involved foods eaten by poor and rich people in the 18th Century.
Picnickers were offered the chance to "lunch like a laird or picnic like a pauper".
Torin and Jacques Lakeman, aged 19 and 20, both attended Castle Rushen High School, in the south of the island.
The pair were found in a room above The Grapes in Stoneclough, Bolton, at 14:00 GMT on Monday.
A school spokesman said staff and pupils were "deeply shocked and saddened" to hear of the deaths of two "lively and talented" ex-students.
Greater Manchester Police said: "There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths".
However Aberystwyth University, where Torin was in his second-year, has emailed its students to pass on a warning from Dyfed-Powys Police about a "new strain" of the drug MDMA - also known as ecstasy.
Jacques Lakeman, who was a Castle Rushen student between 2005 and 2010, was described by his teachers as "as an intelligent and talented student who had a wicked sense of humour and a talent for playing the guitar".
He had recently left the Isle of Man to live in the UK.
The younger of the two brothers, Torin, attended the school between 2006 and 2013.
He was described as a "lively and popular student" who was "an eminently talented public speaker and a Corporal in the Isle of Man Combined Cadet Force (CCF)".
Torin was studying Physics with Planetary and Space Physics at Aberystwyth.
Chairman King also claimed Warburton had previously told him he was using the Ibrox outfit as a "stepping-stone".
And he insisted Warburton "did not respond well" to questions over his transfer policy.
Rangers said on Friday Warburton had resigned, but he insisted he had not.
Despite the disappointment of the team's performances this season and Warburton's dramatic departure, King insists the club's "bigger project remains firmly on track".
Under-20s coach Graeme Murty will take charge of Rangers' first team against Greenock Morton in Sunday's Scottish Cup fifth-round tie.
In a lengthy statement, South Africa-based businessman King indicated the club has already benefitted from around £18m of the £30m he had promised would be invested.
And he added that more than that amount may be needed to make Rangers competitive at the top of Scottish football.
Former Brentford manager Warburton and assistant David Weir - a former Rangers captain - were appointed at the beginning of last season and led the club to Scottish Championship title success and victory in the Challenge Cup final.
Rangers also beat Celtic on penalties in the Scottish Cup semi-final last season but lost the final to Hibernian.
"The season was an unqualified success and the management team was rewarded with a vastly improved contract," said King.
However, last week's 1-1 draw with Ross County left third-placed Rangers 27 points behind Premiership leaders Celtic.
King highlighted Rangers' aim to qualify for European competition at the end of the current campaign, saying: "Our realistic expectation was to come second.
"This season, we did not stick to our plan of signing five or six players because the manager appealed to the board for additional signings. Despite the concern about departing from our plan of prudent phased investment, the board backed the manager's request for accelerated investment.
"This placed us significantly above the football resources available to our competitors (other than Celtic) and was expected to ensure that we finished a strong second in the league and had a squad that could be added to, close season, to make a strong impact in the Europa League qualifiers.
"While I still believe that we can finish a strong second, I am stating the obvious to admit that we are not where we anticipated we would be at this stage of the season and we have not repeated the success that we had with our signings from the previous season.
"Despite the relative disappointment of this season so far, the bigger project remains firmly on track and we will take whatever corrective measures are necessary."
Warburton signed 15 players across the two transfer windows for this season.
King says he told Warburton he wished to review their signing policy and "it is clear from subsequent media comments that the manager did not respond well to the board reviewing his recruitment activity".
"I was informally approached to ask if the club would waive compensation if the management team was to leave, " said King.
"I was alert to a conversation that Mark Warburton had with me after joining the club in which he advised me that his long-term ambition was to manage in the EPL and he viewed Rangers as a stepping-stone to achieve this.
"I was therefore not surprised when the management team's agent approached the club's managing director, Stewart Robertson, to request a meeting which was held in Glasgow on Monday this week.
"The outcome of this meeting was that the agent subsequently offered that Mark, David and Frank would resign with immediate effect without compensation as long as the club, in turn, agreed to waive compensation from any new club that they signed for.
"After discussion, the board accepted this offer and employment was immediately terminated.
"While we were dealing with the admin and press releases relating to the resignation, the agent again contacted us and asked to defer the resignation until the management had secured a new club.
"I assume that the new deal had somehow collapsed at the last minute. The board met to consider this request but resolved to hold them to the original agreement.
"We are now in the process of reviewing the best interim and long-term solution for ensuring that a modern and robust footballing structure is put in place that will continue with and entrench the footballing philosophy that we have in place."
The injured man is in a critical condition in hospital after being found at about 22:50 BST on Monday in a flat in Rochester Street, Chatham.
Another man in his 60s, who police believe may be connected to the attack, was found in Pagitt Street and is being treated for a head injury.
The 62-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody.
A rare grey pearl necklace that once belonged to a British aristocrat sold for HK$41m ($5.3m; £3.5m).
Meanwhile, a 27.68-carat Kashmir sapphire and diamond ring, The Jewel of Kashmir, sold for HK$52.28m.
Both pieces of jewellery were bought by Hong Kong collectors on Wednesday, Sotheby's announced.
The string of pearls was part of the collection of Viscountess Cowdray, Lady Pearson, famous for her collection of art and furniture as well as jewellery.
The previous world auction record for a natural grey pearl necklace was set in London in 2012 when the Cowdray Pearls sold for $3.35m.
An SPFL commission found the club guilty of offences relating to a lack of crowd control.
The governing body has, however, delayed punishment for 18 months.
Within that time, the Fir Park club must provide evidence of how they plan to address the charges against them.
Fans invaded the pitch in the aftermath of Motherwell's 3-1 second-leg win over Rangers at Fir Park, which sealed a 6-1 aggregate win and secured the Steelmen's Premiership status.
The repercussions of that misconduct from the home fans are being felt long after the event.
The commission found the Fir Park club guilty of ticketing failures, which led to problems segregating the two sets of supporters, and inadequate stewarding as Motherwell fans invaded the pitch at full time.
A failure to take action to identify those fans and one who threw a flare has led to a further charge. It will be 18 months before any punishment is handed out.
Russell Bentley from Kent, who now lives in Beddgelert, Gwynedd, won the race in a time of 02:35:05. The women's race was won by Joanne Nelson of Darwen Dashers in a record time of 03:03:53.
The race, now in its 34th year, got under way at 10:30 BST near Llanberis, Gwynedd, and circled the foothills of Snowdon.
Mr Bentley said it was the "hardest thing I've ever done".
Among those pitting themselves against the tough course was the Bishop of Bangor, the Right Reverend Andy John.
Before the race, Bishop John said it would be "slightly more tolerable" when he thinks "something greater" may come from it.
He tackled the course for the third time to raise money for Caroline Gregory, who has volunteered at the now-cleared "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais.
With a backdrop of rugged mountains and the impossibly blue waters of Lake Van, it is a heavenly spot to hear a church Mass; and yet for the past 95 years, there had not been one, until Sunday.
Listening to the glorious sounds of the ancient Armenian liturgy in that setting was a profoundly moving experience; hundreds of Armenians had travelled, from Istanbul and also from the diaspora - from the United States, from Greece, Germany, even Armenia itself - to celebrate this symbolic reconnection with the land of their ancestors.
It was all the more moving, knowing they were praying among the ruins of the monastery - there was no room for them inside the 42-sq-m (452-sq-ft) nave of the church; the monks and priests were all killed in 1915, along with most of the population of the area.
The decision to allow the Armenian Patriarchate in Istanbul to hold a Mass there was made by the governing AKP, the party believes both in loosening restrictions on religion imposed by the secular state, and in improving relations with Turkey's minority groups.
"We believe that it is very important gesture towards freedom of faith," the provincial governor, Munir Karaoglu, told the BBC.
"Also we believe that it is important to eradicate the prejudices between the Turkish and Armenian people. It could also help improve relations Turkey and Armenia."
Those who had chosen to come saw this as a positive step by Turkey towards confronting its history in this area.
"Let's just say that this is a beginning," said Harry Parsekian, a retired estate agent from Boston, whose parents escaped the Armenian killings.
"I hope the Turkish authorities realise that this is an opening - it's just a symbolic gesture right now."
For others, coming back was difficult. Paul Shahenian had never been to Turkey before. His family came from Van, and his grandparents barely escaped the mass slaughter which began in April 1915.
"Coming here is a bittersweet experience," he said.
"My parents are dead, my grandparents are dead, and I'm left with the memory of what this place was to them. Armenians were here for three millennia. Even if the Turkish government wanted to reconcile, I don't know how they would begin. So I think this is a very good first step."
Paul said there had been strong pressure on his family not to come from the rest of the Armenian community.
Many Armenians boycotted this service, either because they do not trust a government which will not acknowledge the 1915 killings as a genocide, or over the government's refusal to hand the church back to the Armenian Patriarchate.
It is still officially a state museum, and the authorities would not allow a cross to be erected on the dome for the service.
So the numbers were smaller than expected - a few hundred, rather than the thousands the local government had been hoping to welcome.
The crush of journalists and the crowds of curious local sightseers who had been encouraged to come to the island for the occasion also robbed it of any spiritual atmosphere.
The church was built by the Armenian King Gagik in the 10th Century, and is the most complete ancient Armenian building left in Turkey.
As such it is very important to the Armenian community's sense of historical connection to this area - and that may be the reason the government is so wary of handing the church back.
Nationalists in Turkey still fear that Armenia has designs on their eastern provinces.
After all, the city of Van was briefly taken over by the Armenian community in 1915 after an armed uprising.
At the Treaty of Sevres in 1920, following the Ottoman defeat in World War I, the city was awarded to a new Armenian state.
It was only with the military successes of Turkish nationalists under Ataturk that the city reverted to Turkish rule.
"This government has been better than all the others," said Rober Koptas, editor-in-chief of Agos, the main Armenian newspaper in Istanbul.
"They renovated the church, which is great. But they must be braver. This was not enough. Most of Turkish society is ready to accept this is an Armenian church. Now it is the government's turn."
Now winless in 12 league games, Forest sit five points outside the top six.
"It makes it very hard [to reach the play-offs] - we are going to have to win all our remaining games and rely on some others losing," said Brazil.
"We've to get some pride back for ourselves and this football club."
The play-off ambitions of the 11th-placed Reds could still fade further on Monday if Reading beat already promoted Leicester to move back into the top six and open a seven-point gap to Forest.
Former Forest captain Stuart Pearce, who will take over as boss from Brazil on 1 July, was in the stands at Loftus Road to watch their latest setback.
QPR scored three goals in the last six minutes to deny the Reds a point after they twice fought back from a goal down.
"Everyone is look forward to Stuart coming in, but we don't want the season to just peter out and end without us showing some quality before we come to the end," Brazil told BBC Radio Nottingham.

A fortnight on from their 56-12 win at Leigh, Wire ran in another seven tries.
Trinity scored after four minutes through Jonny Molloy, but Wire responded with first-half tries from Ben Currie, Chris Hill and Ryan Atkins.
Matty Russell then scored twice after the break, while Daryl Clark and Joe Westerman also crossed.
Kurt Gidley kicked five of his seven goals for an individual 10-point haul as the Challenge Cup finalists responded to a narrow home defeat by St Helens to go second in Super League.
Judah Mazive pulled a try back after the break for the hosts, whose other points came from Liam Finn's first-half conversion.
Warrington's 38-10 win leaves them one point behind leaders Hull FC, who have the chance to pull three clear again when they host Catalans Dragons on Thursday.
Wakefield travel to Widnes on 21 August hoping to notch a first win since the regular season ended, but they travel with optimism after a spirited display.
Wakefield head coach Chris Chester:
"We didn't get beat on effort. We caused Warrington some problems in the first 40 minutes but came up with silly errors in key parts of the game and conceded two soft tries before half-time.
"However, we gave it everything and came up short. I wanted a reaction from the Wigan performance and I got one,
"Our young kids really stood up again and James Bachelor deservedly got our man of the match. Max Jowitt probably needs a rest but with the injuries we've got at the minute we had to juggle a few things around."
Warrington head coach Tony Smith:
"It wasn't the prettiest of games and we played our part in that. There wasn't a huge crowd and there wasn't the same type of atmosphere as when we last met.
"But it was important to come and put in a solid performance. I never thought at any stage we would lose. We were never out of control. But Wakefield made it awkward for us in a few periods.
"It was a hot afternoon. I stood out in it for a few minutes and got sunburn, while they are out there whacking hell out of each other, so it was tough for them to handle those conditions."
Wakefield: Hall; Mazive, Lyne, Arundel, Jones-Bishop; Miller, Finn; Scruton, Sio, Arona, Molloy, Walton, Crowther.
Replacements: Jowitt, Yates, Batchelor, Fifita.
Warrington: Ratchford; R Evans, T King, Atkins, Russell; Gidley, Sandow; Hill, Clark, Sims, Hughes, Currie, Westerman.
Replacements: Dwyer, Westwood, G King, Wilde.
Referee: Robert Hicks.
Morata, 24, will discuss personal terms and have a medical after Real accepted an offer of about £60m for him.
Chelsea had previously tried to re-sign Romelu Lukaku, but the Belgium striker instead joined Manchester United.
"It's not the one they were left with, it's the one they wanted, absolutely," Nevin told BBC Radio 5 live.
The deal was announced a day after manager Antonio Conte signed an improved contract with the Premier League champions.
"I'm going to the team managed by the coach who has placed the most faith in me, and that's great for me," Morata told AS on Wednesday.
"It's beginning to look like Antonio Conte's Chelsea side," said Nevin.
"And because he signed this new contract, it's saying: 'I believe in this, I want to be part of this.' It didn't seem like the case a couple of months ago.
"Now, most Chelsea fans will be smiling and punching the air, much the same way that I was."
Morata would be Chelsea's fourth signing of the summer, after goalkeeper Willy Caballero, defender Antonio Rudiger and midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Nevin said: "I wrote a piece on the Chelsea website about three months ago. I asked the fans: 'Who would you like most as a centre-forward?'
"There were three names that came up. Number three was Lukaku, number two was [Alexis] Sanchez, and number one? Morata."
Morata could replace Spain team-mate Diego Costa, who says he has been told by manager Antonio Conte that he is no longer in Chelsea's plans.
Morata scored 20 goals last season after rejoining Real from Juventus.
"I think he was the number one choice that Antonio Conte wanted," said Nevin.
"I am not sure what's going to be happening with Diego Costa. I think it's quite unlikely he will stay with all the noises we've been hearing.
"Chelsea need a striker who can give you 15-20 goals a season.
"Put him in a team where you've got the likes of Cesc Fabregas, the likes of Eden Hazard giving you plenty of opportunities... Morata can do that."
European football journalist Mina Rzouki on BBC Radio 5 live
If you offered me the choice between Morata and Lukaku, I wouldn't even think about it.
I would pay £20m or £30m more if I had to and I would bring in Morata.
That is because I would always prefer an intelligent player in my team. Even if he doesn't score as many goals, even if he doesn't do whatever he needs to.
If he is more intelligent then he can be moulded quicker, he can do what he needs to do. And Morata has Champions League experience. He was second top scorer for Real Madrid despite not starting.
He has done it at Juventus and he has done it at Real Madrid.
He understands, he has the pace, he is intelligent, he links up play, he can be a counter-attacking threat.

The Sheffield University team looked at how the colours are created in the blue-and-white feathers of the jay.
They found the colours come from the way the feathers are structured rather than from pigments, like in human hair.
Researchers believe the discovery could allow the creation of long-lasting coloured coatings.
The publication Nature Scientific Reports said the team studied feathers in the Natural History Museum's collection in London.
The research team found that instead of using dyes that would fade over time, the birds use well-controlled changes to the small cells to create their vividly coloured feathers, which are possibly used for jays to recognise one another.
The jay is able to pattern these different colours along an individual feather barb - the equivalent of having many different colours along a single human hair, said the scientists.
Andrew Parnell, from Sheffield University's department of physics and astronomy, said: "This discovery means that in the future, we could create long-lasting coloured coatings and materials synthetically.
"We have discovered it is the way in which it is formed and the control of this evolving nanostructure [small cells] - by adjusting the size and density of the holes in the sponge-like structure - that determines what colour is reflected.
"Current technology cannot make colour with this level of control and precision - we still use dyes and pigments.
"Now we've learnt how nature accomplishes it, we can start to develop new materials such as clothes or paints using these nano-structuring approaches.
"It would potentially mean that if we created a red jumper using this method, it would retain its colour and never fade in the wash."
In 2011, Sheffield scientists developed a material which mimics the rainbow effect of butterfly wings to help the fight against counterfeit money.
Treasury Counsel, appointed by the attorney general, said the cuts - £220m from a yearly budget of £1bn for criminal cases - were unsustainable.
The Bar Council and the Law Society also criticised the plans.
But the Ministry of Justice said savings were needed to ensure the system could help those most in need.
A final consultation on proposed cuts to legal aid in criminal work in England and Wales closed on Saturday.
Legal aid costs taxpayers about £2bn every year - half goes on criminal defence and the rest on civil cases including mental health, asylum and family law involving domestic violence, forced marriage or child abduction.
Government proposals include cutting fees in complex, high cost cases by 30%, and in other crown court work by up to 18%.
Treasury Counsel said the "entirely obvious and predictable outcomes will be lost quality and reduced supply of criminal advocates".
Meanwhile, the Bar Council, which represents barristers in England and Wales, accused the government of putting "cuts before justice".
Maura McGowan QC, chairwoman of the Bar, told BBC Radio 5 live there was clear evidence that standards were at risk.
"The fees that are paid to people who do these cases have been reduced by almost as much as 40% already, before the planned reductions," she said.
"It will drive people of quality out of the system and will mean those who depend on publicly funded representation run the risk of getting a lower standard.
"So to say that they're making these cuts because they want to protect those who most need help, cannot be right."
The Law Society, which represents some 130,000 solicitors in England and Wales, said it had some concerns about proposals for flat fees in magistrates' courts and the crown court and a single national fixed fee for police station work.
Law Society President Nicholas Fluck said: "To maintain quality, it is vital that we have the most diverse range of solicitors possible in the system within the boundaries of long-term financial viability.
"The current proposals for a single national fixed fee for police station work will have a disproportionate effect on firms in high-cost areas where the cost of doing business is greater.
"It is unwise to risk tarnishing the respect in which our justice system both domestically and internationally is held by an apparent incentive to plead guilty, which could jeopardise the relationship of trust between clients and solicitors."
The MoJ said the cut in high cost cases was to ensure it would impact high earners and not junior barristers, and denied other cuts were unjust.
An MoJ spokeswoman said: "We have tried to ensure our proposals have more impact on high earners - 70% of criminal barristers contracted to Very High Cost Cases receive fee incomes of over £100,000, which is why we targeted the largest fee reductions at this type of work.
"Nor do we accept our proposed rates for more routine work are unjust. The minimum a QC would be paid for such a case is £306 each day.
"At around £2 billion a year we have one of the most expensive legal aid systems in the world and even after our changes would still have one of the most generous.
"We agree legal aid is a vital part of our justice system and that's why we have to find efficiencies to ensure it remains sustainable and available to those most in need of a lawyer.
"We have engaged constructively and consistently with lawyers - including revising our proposals in response to their comments - and to allege we have not is re-writing history."
Scottish Fire and Rescue were called out to the accident on the A99, south of Keiss, at about 03:15.
The road was closed for several hours while an accident investigation took place. The stretch of road was later reopened.
Police Scotland said the man was the only occupant of the car in the single-vehicle accident.
Around a third of former onshore oil and gas wells are leaking methane gas, according to the research led by scientists at the University of Durham.
But it found the leaks produced less methane than agricultural use.
The industry body said the findings should reassure people.
"What ReFINE has shown is that the public should have no health or environmental concerns about emissions from properly decommissioned wells adhering to current industry standards."
"Indeed the research has found that in the minority of cases where they have recorded some methane emissions from decommissioned wells, these emissions are typically less than one would get from just a handful of livestock grazing in the same fields," said Ken Cronin, Chief Executive of UKOOG, the representative body of the UK Onshore Oil & Gas industry.
Around 2000 onshore oil and gas wells have been drilled in the UK.
Fracking for shale oil and gas could result in many more.
Doug Parr, Chief Scientist at Greenpeace, says that's a worry given the levels of methane leakage uncovered in the study.
"If even an industry-funded study suggests that 30% of conventional wells appear to be leaking, it raises serious questions over the long-term impact of the extensive development of unconventional gas in the UK which is clearly the government's plan," he said.
The study sought to clarify how many former or decommissioned wells might be leaking methane.
Tests were carried out at wells ranging from 8 to 79-years-old.
Levels of the gas were tested at 102 locations which had previously been working oil or gas sites.
The sites had all been decommissioned, which involves the wells being cut-off, sealed and buried to a depth of 2 metres.
In the majority of cases, the methane levels were either lower than or comparable with that in nearby fields.
But at 31 sites methane levels found at the soil surface were significantly higher than those found in control samples taken nearby.
"The point is that even with proper decommissioning you will still have those wells that leak as cement cracks and steel corrodes and so monitoring is important," said Professor Fred Worrall, from the Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University, who led the research.
"Overwhelmingly wells are properly decommissioned and our study shows that when methane does leak the levels are low, for example when compared to methane produced by the agricultural use of the land," he added.
At one former well at Hardstoft in Derbyshire, gas can be seen bubbling through a puddle at the surface. The Well was drilled in 1917 and abandoned before modern decommissioning regulations were in place. Methane levels here were more than 10 times higher than for average decommissioned wells.
The study found that 40% per cent of the most recent wells surveyed showed leaks.
This suggests that leaks develop early in the life of a decommissioned well.
It also found that methane levels did not increase significantly with the age of the well since drilling.
The research did not examine the implications of methane leaks on the water supplies. In the US concerns have been raised about elevated levels of methane in water near fracking wells.
The British Geological Survey is undertaking a National Baseline Methane Survey of groundwaters across the UK.
Understanding the current groundwater levels of methane will provide a baseline against which any future changes could be measured.
The research into methane leakage, led by the Durham University, is published on Tuesday in the journal "Science of the Total Environment".
It is part of work carried out by the ReFINE project - which is led by Durham & Newcastle Universities - and which focuses on researching the potential risks of shale gas and oil exploitation.
The project has been funded by UK research councils and agencies as well as firms involved in oil and gas exploration and fracking including Shell, Chevron, Ineos and Centrica.

They say it would be hypocritical of the party to refuse them after it said employees should sit on company boards.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been asked for reassurances that a clear out of staff will not take place.
A staff member said: "We have years of experience and expertise and they belittle us at every opportunity."
Sources inside the party, and those close to workers there, have told BBC Radio 4's Today programme they are disgusted by reports they could be "purged" after the leadership election and are terrified about losing their jobs.
One even suggested there could be strike action, although none is currently planned.
A submission asking for places for staff on the committee, and seen by the BBC, said: "It is disappointing that while the Tory prime minister has promised worker representation on company boards that Labour Party workers are currently unrepresented on their own executive."
Refusing the places would be "deeply hypocritical", the submission said.
It demands two new seats on the NEC for Labour staff who are trade union members, in addition to the position already reserved for the party's general secretary.
Labour's staff are represented by the GMB and Unite unions.
In a letter to workers earlier this week Mr Corbyn said he did not support compulsory redundancies, and "at this stage" no staff changes had been proposed.
He urged them to ignore anonymous stories in the press, but he did not rule out redundancies in the future.
He wrote: "I can only reiterate the comments I had made previously in my communication to all Party staff that attacks on individuals in the media are not acceptable."
He was responding to an email from a union representative on Monday which said staff were "deeply disappointed" and demanded "a message of solidarity and support for unionised Labour Party workers in the face of any attempts to "purge" or "clear-out" hard-working staff".
Mr Corbyn is taking on rival Labour MP Owen Smith to be leader of the Labour Party, and voting closed on Wednesday.
The result will be announced in Liverpool on Saturday.
The Queen's husband, who will be 92 on Monday, was admitted to the London Clinic on Thursday and is expected to stay in hospital for about two weeks.
Buckingham Palace said the admission was pre-arranged and not an emergency.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the duke was held in the "highest esteem" by the British people and the whole country would be wishing him well.
By Peter HuntRoyal correspondent
Publicly, the talk is of Prince Philip being "in good spirits".
Privately, officials will know this is a potentially serious moment as the Queen's husband - who'll be 92 in three days' time - undergoes surgery under general anaesthetic.
In the past week, the prince went unnoticed to the London Clinic for what the Palace has called "abdominal investigations".
These were prompted by routine tests which showed that something was amiss. The precise nature of the problem hasn't been disclosed.
But whatever it is that has been discovered will now be tackled by what's being described as an "exploratory operation" at the private hospital in central London.
Unfortunately for the Queen, during an anxious time in her life, she'll be on display in a building full of journalists when she officially opens the BBC's London headquarters, Broadcasting House.
The Queen is continuing with her engagements for the day, and has officially opened the BBC's rebuilt Broadcasting House in central London.
As the Queen toured the BBC's new headquarters, Radio 4 Today programme presenter John Humphrys asked her how the Duke of Edinburgh was.
"I don't know," she replied, before adding: "He's not ill."
The duke went to hospital straight after a Buckingham Palace garden party on Thursday afternoon. Guests said he showed no signs of being unwell.
Prince Philip will undergo surgery under general anaesthetic and the Palace said in a statement that further updates would be issued "when appropriate".
The prime minister sent a personal message to the Duke of Edinburgh on Thursday wishing him a speedy recovery.
He said the duke was an "extraordinarily dedicated public servant".
"I know the whole country will be thinking about him, thinking about the family and wishing him well," he added.
Meanwhile, Prince Philip's grandson, Peter Phillips, said he was in "good hands".
Speaking at a show jumping event in east London, he said: "We are being kept up to date in terms of what's happening, but he's one of those people who just wouldn't want you to stop because he's gone into hospital."
In the past week, the duke has been having unannounced "abdominal investigations" at the hospital in central London, where police officers have been standing guard outside.
Prince Philip pulled out of an engagement for the Royal National Institute of Blind People on Monday, after becoming unwell ahead of attending a service at Westminster Abbey marking the 60th anniversary of the Queen's coronation.
The Queen had been due to visit the BBC's £1bn headquarters with the duke, but instead carried out the engagement alone.
The monarch met personalities such as Sir Bruce Forsyth and David Dimbleby, and watched The Voice star Danny O'Donoghue sing with his band The Script in Radio 1's Live Lounge.
The Queen was shown around the state-of the-art broadcasting centre - home to BBC News and World Service among others - by BBC director general Tony Hall and BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten, as well as meeting journalists in the newsroom.
The last time the Queen visited Broadcasting House was seven years ago to mark the 80th anniversary of the corporation's Royal Charter.

The risks of surgery and general anesthesia do increase with age.
Older patients are inevitably more frail - all their organs are weaker, which increases the risk of complications.
They are also more likely to have chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or kidney failure. Medication taken to manage such conditions also affect the cocktail of anaesthetic drugs that can be given.
Tim Cook, consultant anaesthetist at Royal United Hospital in Bath, said: "Patients in their 70s and 80s appear regularly on operating lists, but operating on patients in their 90s is relatively uncommon.
"But a lot of ninety-year-olds having ops are surprisingly fit and do quite well."
Blood pressure and oxygen levels can drop during the operation and in the days afterwards. If this is not managed it could lead to a stroke, heart attack or other complications.
In April, Buckingham Palace played down fears about the Duke of Edinburgh's health after he was pictured in Canada with purplish skin around his eye.
It said he did not fall and simply woke up with the discoloration.
Prince Philip has been admitted to hospital three other times in the past two years after suffering health scares.
After attending events to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee a year ago, he went to hospital for five nights after sustaining a bladder infection.
He spent four days in hospital over Christmas 2011 following an operation to clear a blocked heart artery.
In August 2012, he was treated at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for a bladder infection.
Kate Williams, royal historian at Royal Holloway, University of London, said Prince Philip "is a man who is determined to carry on".
She added: "He has had seven public engagements this week. There probably aren't many people across the country in their 90s who are keeping up such a schedule."
Simon Galloway, a consultant general surgeon at the University Hospital of South Manchester, said a fortnight is a "fairly lengthy" hospital admission but it was not usual for someone of the duke's age.
Initial tie-ups include letting Mercedes cars and Jawbone Up wristbands turn the heating on, and allowing Lifx's wi-fi connected light bulbs to flash red if smoke is detected.
Nest's co-founder Matt Rogers told the BBC that users would have control over which link-ups were allowed.
But one expert warned that hackers might try to exploit the facility.
"You don't want to get woken up at 04:00 by a smoke alarm because of malicious activity," said Dr Ian Brown, from the Oxford Internet Institute.
"Google in general are very good as internet security goes, but it will be very interesting to see how long it might be before the first vulnerabilities are found in these systems."
Although Nest is opening up its application program interfaces (APIs) - the code that controls how the different software programs interact - to "anybody" via its website, Mr Rogers said steps had been taken to restrict rogue developers.
"We still have the ability to deactivate their accounts and basically delete all their integrations," he said.
"We have also put a limit in the developer programme of how far they can get without actually having to go through some approval processes.
"They can go up to 1,000 users without having to talk to us... but over that they have to get formal approval and go through a testing process."
Google bought Nest for $3.2bn (£1.8bn) earlier this year despite the fact it only had two relatively niche products on sale.
The search firm's chairman Eric Schmidt described the acquisition at the time as "an important bet" on intelligent devices for the home that were "infinitely more useable" than existing kit.
Others are also making early steps into what is being called the "internet of things":
Nest's devices can already be controlled by tablets and smartphones, but its latest move adds further options.
Mr Rogers said pre-arranged tie-ups meant Jawbone's Up wristband's motion sensor could now be used to detect when the owner wakes up in order to trigger the heating system.
He added that Chamberlain's new internet-connected garage door openers could then turn the Nest Learning Thermostat lower when the homeowner left for work.
And if they drove one of Mercedes Benz's new cars, he said, their vehicle would be able to turn the temperature back up again when it estimated they were 30 minutes away from returning.
In the case of the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, Mr Rogers said the ability to make it cause Lifx's LED bulbs to flash red could serve as an alert if an owner was hearing impaired.
The initial line-up of firms linking their products to Nest's also includes Logitech, Whirlpool, the If This Then That (IFTTT) app, and Google itself.
Nest had previously promised not to force owners to share their data with Google, but they now have the option to do so.
"The way we think about building out this ecosystem is more than just about connectivity - it's about what are the things you use everyday, and how should they work together," added Mr Rogers.
Nest, however, was not yet ready to discuss how this strategy might apply to Dropcam's line-up of video, sound and window/door-motion sensors, which it is in the process of acquiring for $550m.
The incident occurred at the KOF convenience store in Dumbarton Road, Yoker, at about 11:20 on Sunday.
The injured man is currently in a stable condition at the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The 25-year-old man who has been detained is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
US President Barack Obama said that with the deal, "every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off" for Iran.
And President Hassan Rouhani said the "historic" deal opened a "new chapter" in Iran's relations with the world.
Negotiations between Iran and six world powers - the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany - began in 2006.
The so-called P5+1 want Iran to scale back its sensitive nuclear activities to ensure that it cannot build a nuclear weapon.
Iran, which wants crippling international sanctions lifted, has always insisted that its nuclear work is peaceful.

A good deal, for now?
Deal shakes Middle East media
Good or bad for Middle East?
There has been stiff resistance to a deal from conservatives both in Iran and the US. The US Congress has 60 days in which to consider the deal, though Mr Obama said he would veto any attempt to block it.
The Republican Speaker of the US House of Representatives, John Boehner, said the deal would only only "embolden" Tehran.
"Instead of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, this deal is likely to fuel a nuclear arms race around the world," he added.
Israel's government has also warned against an agreement.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was a "stunning historic mistake" that would provide Iran with "hundreds of billions of dollars with which it can fuel its terror machine and its expansion and aggression throughout the Middle East and across the globe".
He said he did not regard Israel as being bound by this agreement. "We will always defend ourselves," he added.
In a televised address, Mr Obama insisted the deal would make the world "safer and more secure", and provided for a rigorous verification regime. "This deal is not built on trust - it is built on verification," he said.
Immediately afterwards, Mr Rouhani gave his own televised address, in which he said the prayers of Iranians had "come true".
He said the deal would lead to the removal of all sanctions, adding: "The sanctions regime was never successful, but at the same time it affected people's lives.''
After 12 years, world powers had finally "recognised the nuclear activities of Iran", he said.
The agreement will change the Middle East, perhaps a lot, but at the moment no-one knows exactly how. The biggest question is whether it will reduce or increase the turmoil in the Middle East.
Iran and the world's big powers, most significantly the US, now have a habit of working together - but don't assume that will help automatically to resolve the crises and wars that Iran, the US and their allies are involved with in the region.
There is a danger that mutual suspicion will heat up the Middle East's fault lines, especially the cold war between Iran and Saudi Arabia - and with it sectarian conflict between Shia and Sunni Muslims.
But the agreement in Vienna removes Iran's nuclear programme from the danger list. Two years ago, as Israel threatened to bomb Iran, it looked likely to lead to a major Middle East war. That in itself is a major diplomatic achievement.
Both Mr Rouhani and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif referred to the dispute over Iran's nuclear programme as an "unnecessary crisis".
Mr Zarif said the deal was "not perfect for anybody'', but that it was the "best achievement possible that could be reached".
Mr Obama, who is trying to persuade a sceptical US Congress of the benefits, said it would oblige Iran to:
Sanctions relief would be gradual, Mr Obama said, with an arms embargo remaining in place for five years and an embargo on missiles for eight years.
Separately, the IAEA and Iran said they had signed a roadmap to resolve outstanding issues.
IAEA head Yukiya Amano told reporters in Vienna, Austria, that his organisation had signed a roadmap "for the clarification of past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran's nuclear programme".
He called the agreement a "significant step forward", saying it would allow the agency to "make an assessment of issues relating to possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme by the end of 2015".
No prizes for guessing why. The capital's much-hyped two-week trial - private cars with even and odd number plates were only allowed on alternate days - to curb air pollution ended on Friday. The headlines over the weekend said it all: Traffic in Delhi back to square one, moaned one.
The whinge is not without basis.
Despite many exemptions, the drive, say officials, took more than 100,000 cars off the roads every day, six days a week. That's a lot of vehicles, and so not surprisingly, traffic eased and commuting time - and road rage - shrunk.
One report said peak hour traffic was down by a third. More than 9,000 drivers were fined $29 (£20) each for driving a wrong numbered car - a not very substantial number considering the volume of traffic.
People carpooled and public transport, including the efficient metro, managed to soak up many commuters who had given up cars. A high decibel campaign by the local government meant that air pollution becoming a talking point among the city's generally apathetic citizenry. Despite reports of some volunteers being harassed by churlish law-breakers, the experiment was widely described as a success.
Now the not-so-good news. By all accounts, the jury is still out on whether the trial had any impact on the city's toxic air.
Many studies show there is scant data to support the government's claim that the experiment improved air quality.
To be sure, tricky weather conditions - low wind speeds did not help in clearing pollutants, for example - were possibly responsible for actual deterioration of air quality during the trial period.
It is not even clear, despite some cavalier opinion, whether cars are mainly responsible for the spiralling air pollution - car journeys comprise less than 15% of trips in Delhi, less than half the number in London and Singapore.
The tens of thousands of diesel trucks that enter Delhi every day, along with smoke-spewing coal-fired power stations, construction dust, and mass burning of rubbish to keep the homeless warm also contribute handsomely to keep the air foul.
Yet, nobody believes cars are not a problem. Sunita Narain of Delhi's Centre for Science and Environment fervently believes cars - especially the diesel-engine ones which are legally allowed to emit more - are an "important part of the pollution story", and the car rationing experiment actually helped moderate air pollution.
An unprecedented scaling up of public transport is the only "long-term solution" to clean up the city's odious air, she says.
Buoyed by the hoopla over the drive, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced that an "improved version" of the car rationing scheme will be announced soon. But does the "success" of the trial tell us anything about a behavioural change - read calm compliance - among the car-loving residents of Delhi?
Possibly not, says India's best-known transportation expert Dinesh Mohan.
Keep in mind, he says, that all schools were closed during the drive, thus taking off a quarter of the daily trips; many used their old motorcycles for the alternate day; others may have printed fake natural gas stickers- cars running on natural gas were exempt from the trial - or bought false registration plates. Most importantly, all car owners knew in advance that the trial would last only two weeks.
"The experiment tells us nothing about how people would react if it was a permanent measure. My suspicion is that if everyone knew this is here to stay, they would not only buy cheap vehicles and become more inventive but also much more angry," he told a newspaper.
"It is quite clear that the odd-even experiment has not had a major influence on the overall environment in the city. Therefore, it only serves as a publicity gimmick. There is no city in the world where such a measure has worked over any length of time, nor has it reduced pollution significantly as an isolated intervention, says Dr Mohan.
Surely car use in Delhi needs to be minimised. Parking must cost more, engine-size based pollution tax should be imposed to fund public transport, and the city must be made friendlier for pedestrians and cyclists. Environment groups claim a tax on diesel trucks entering Delhi has already led to a 20% reduction of truck traffic. The government's decision to upgrade to higher fuel standards for vehicles - Euro VI - by 2020 should also be welcomed.
Still this will be not enough.
Air pollution is a fiendishly complicated subject - and much more than vehicular emissions.
At its heart, it is mainly a symptom of shambolic urban planning and the inability of the government to deliver basic and essential services to its people.
As Sarath Guttikunda, who heads an independent research group, UrbanEmissions.Info says, lack of power supply leads to use of diesel generators, lack of public transport leads to higher demand for private vehicles, and the lack of uncluttered and clean sidewalks and cycle paths lead to more motorised transport.
Bad traffic management and on the road parking leads to more congestion. Garbage gets burnt because it simply doesn't get picked up in the first place. Builders are not even pushed to use bowsers to check construction dust. Introducing natural gas, upgrading fuel standards, and pushing out polluting industries will fetch short-term gains - Delhi is living proof of this.
Delhi - and India - needs institutional change to fight air pollution. Neither Mr Kejriwal, who rules Delhi, nor Narendra Modi, who rules India, have shown very little stomach for such reform.
The Uruguayan converted in the 61st minute from Lionel Messi's pass for his 95th goal in 112 Barcelona games.
Vitolo gave Sevilla the lead when he slotted home in the 15th minute before Messi equalised from 18 yards.
Barcelona now have 25 points from 11 games, just two behind Real, with Sevilla back on 21 points.
Luis Enrique's Spanish champions created numerous chances after the break as they started to open up their opponent's defence.
Sevilla keeper Sergio Rico made two good saves to keep his side in the game. He kept out a stinging effort from Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic and then tipped over a shot from Messi, who had received the ball from Suarez's sublime backheel volley.
Suarez also produced another brilliant piece of skill when he rounded keeper Rico and then rolled the ball across the six-yard area. The ball eluded Messi, who had failed to read his team-mate's intentions.
Sevilla were overawed in the second half but did go close when former Blackburn player Steven Nzonzi headed narrowly wide of Marc-Andre ter Stegen's left-hand upright.

Ah'Kiell Walker died at Bristol Children's Hospital on Sunday.
His parents Hannah Henry, 20, and Alistair Walker, 26, of Archdeacon Street, Gloucester, have been remanded in custody accused of child neglect.
In a statement, Ah'Kiell's family said: "Our days are so much darker without his smile, but we will never forget the times we had."
"We are blessed to have had our beautiful baby boy Ah'Kiell in our family, even if for such a very short time," they added.
"He was taken too soon but his beautiful eyes, smile and amazing hair will always be in our hearts.
A police investigation into Ah'Kiell's death is continuing.
Jon Harbinson, 42, said he didn't speak to co-accused William Lincoln, who is his uncle, for 20 years until they reconciled a year ago.
Mr Harbinson is said to have been involved in the plan to get rid of the cash, diamonds and jewellery stolen by a gang in the heist.
Both men deny being involved in the burglary.
Taxi-driver Mr Harbinson told Woolwich Crown Court he had not met any of those who had admitted being involved in the raid at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company in London apart from John Collins, who was in a relationship with his aunt, and William Lincoln.
He had also not spoken to his aunt for 10 years.
"It's a bit of a pattern with me," he told the jury. "I fall out with people."
When asked about items of jewellery found at his home, Mr Harbinson said one piece, a necklace, was given to him by his grandmother, which had sentimental value to him.
Another item, a sovereign ring, was a present from his parents, while another half-sovereign was a gift to his sister when he got his first job, he told the court.
Earlier on Monday, Mr Lincoln's friend James Creighton gave evidence.
He said Mr Lincoln was known as "Billy the Fish" by friends at the Porchester Spa in Bayswater.
Mr Creighton was given the nickname "Jimmy two baths" as he often stays all day at the spa, sometimes having two baths, the court heard.
Both he and Mr Lincoln used to "do quite a lot of schmeissing", or Yiddish whipping, the jury was told.
Schmeissing is a technique carried out in a hot steam room, where the body is soaped all over with a coarse brush and then scrubbed vigorously.
The trial continues.

In partnership with the English Institute of Sport (EIS), the initiative aims to identify and fast-track males and females between the ages of 15 and 24 into high performance sports.
Boxing heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua, Olympic rowing icon Sir Steve Redgrave and Olympic skeleton champion Lizzy Yarnold are among those urging you to #DiscoverYour Gold.
It's hoped that some of those chosen to be fast-tracked could compete in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
"I have seen the impact of similar schemes but #DiscoverYour Gold is the biggest and best yet," said Redgrave. "It's very exciting to help launch the new campaign.

Nicola Sturgeon announced this week that if an SNP government was re-elected it would commit to a study.
Labour, the Lib Dems, Conservatives and Scottish Greens have also given their backing to such a report.
The multi-million pound line between Edinburgh and the Borders opened to passengers last year.
The first minister confirmed her party's support for a feasibility study during a visit to Hawick on Thursday.
"The Borders Railway has been a fantastic success - boosting the economy, leading to new house building and supporting tourism in the region," said Ms Sturgeon.
"Since it was opened in September last year the number of passengers has exceeded all expectations, with over half a million people travelling on the line by January.
"With this kind of success it makes sense to look at extending the line to other communities."
Paul Wheelhouse, who will contest the Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire seat for the SNP, said he was "delighted" with the commitment.
Jim Hume, set to fight in the same constituency for the Liberal Democrats, said his party had "paved the way" for the line to Tweedbank in 2006 when it was part of the coalition government in Holyrood.
"Liberal Democrats have always said that the line to Tweedbank should be seen as the start of a more ambitious vision of getting the line to Hawick and then eventually on to Carlisle, ensuring that more of our Borders communities can reap the economic benefits," he said.
He said the key to any feasibility study was that it started with the co-operation of stakeholders "as soon as possible" in order to build on the success of the line to Tweedbank.
Labour's Barrie Cunning also said he welcomed Ms Sturgeon's commitment to extending the Borders Railway.
"But whatever party is elected to government in May, it has a duty to undertake a real-time feasibility study into extending the Borders railway line which will benefit rural communities in the Borders," he added.
Conservative John Lamont said he supported "looking closely" at how the line could be extended to Hawick and on to Carlisle.
"However, we need to ensure that local businesses and the potential to maximise investment are central to this process," he said.
"This must be about creating jobs for the area and securing our long-term economic prosperity."
Scottish Greens' South of Scotland hopeful Sarah Beattie-Smith said it would be "very welcome news" to people in the Borders.
"The hugely successful reopening of the Waverley Line last year has shown that not only are people in the Borders better able to access the rest of Scotland, but that the rest of Scotland is waking up to the rich history, vibrant present and future possibilities of the Borders," she said.
"Extending the railway to Hawick and Carlisle is very clearly the right thing to do and we lend our full support to the campaign to see it completed."
Commons Speaker John Bercow granted an urgent question on Thursday, with the debate expected to begin at 10:15 BST.
Seven top Fifa officials were arrested in Zurich on Wednesday following a long-running FBI investigation.
Swiss authorities have simultaneously launched an inquiry into the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has told the BBC there is "something deeply wrong at the heart of Fifa" and it needs to "clean up its act".
The arrests have sparked concerns among some of Fifa's sponsors, who say they may review their ties over the corruption allegations.
Tomas Cubelli, Juan Imhoff and Santiago Cordero all crossed for the Pumas while Georgia captain Mamuka Gorgodze was in the sin-bin shortly after the break.
Tries from Martin Landajo, Cordero and Imhoff took the Pumas over 50 points.
Tomas Lavanini had given Argentina an early lead but Merab Kvirikashvili's boot meant it was 14-9 at half-time.
The match was finely poised at 14-9 when Gorgodze was sin-binned by referee JP Doyle.
The Toulon back row was onside initially as he attempted to turn the ball over at a ruck, but he failed to support his weight and was sent to the bin.
During that period, his side conceded 21 points and by the time he returned the game was effectively lost.
Even with Gorgodze's helping hand Argentina seem sure to be exacting opponents for Ireland or France - who they are likely to face in the quarter-finals - with a big mobile pack, the best set of backs they have had and an eagerness to play with width.
Nicolas Sanchez opened the scoring for Argentina with a first for this Rugby World up - a drop-goal, albeit an ugly one.
Sanchez was then part of a terrific handling move that saw Lavanini dive over for his second international try.
Impressive full-back Kvirikashvili brought Georgia to within two points with two penalties before he and Sanchez traded further kicks after the half-hour mark as the Georgians closed the half very much in the game.
Juan Martin Hernandez limped off injured for Argentina with what appeared to be a groin injury and the fitness of 'El Mago' will be of concern to the Pumas.
When Gorgodze was sin-binned for slowing down the ball, after a great break by Sanchez that saw Marcelo Bosch caught just short of the line, the Georgia captain might have thought the punishment was worthwhile.
But with his team short on the blind side as a result of his yellow card, scrum-half Cubelli dived over after being fed off the back of a close-range scrum by number eight Facundo Isa.
Three minutes later Imhoff scorched down the left touchline for his 12th international try and Cordero quickly added the fourth try for a bonus point.
Landajo made sure of the victory with a dart against the tiring Georgians before wingers Cordero and Imhoff claimed their second tries to take the Pumas over the half-century mark.
In the 64 minutes Sanchez was on the pitch, he gave further encouragement to the notion Argentina are going to be an awkward side for anyone to play against in this Rugby World Cup.
In addition to his penalties, conversions and drop goal, the fly-half - who is leaving Toulon for the new Argentine Super Rugby franchise - ignited his backline with crisp delivery and made 62 metres thanks to two clean breaks.
With the finesse and power of Hernandez and Bosch outside him and plenty of firepower on the wings, Argentina now have a backline that will cause any team problems.
Argentina: Tuculet; Cordero, Bosch, Hernandez, Imhoff; Sanchez, Cubelli; Ayerza, Creevy, Chaparro, Alemanno, Lavanini, Leguizamon, Fernandez Lobbe, Isa.
Replacements: Montoya, Noguera, Herrera, Desio, Matera, Landajo, De La Fuente, Amorosino.
Georgia: Kvirikashvili; Mchedlidze, Kacharava, Sharikadze, Aptsiauri; Malaguradze, Lobzhanidze; Nariashvili, Bregvadze, Zirakashvili, Nemsadze, Mikautadze, Tkhilaishvil, Kolelishvili, Gorgodze.
Replacements: Mamukashvili, Asieshvili, Chilachava, Datunashvili, Sutiashvili, Begadze, Pruidze, Giorgadze.

Wales First Minister Carwyn Jones has flown to Patagonia for the occasion.
It was 150 years ago on 28 July when about 160 Welsh emigrants arrived in Argentina aboard the Mimosa tea-clipper.
Their aim, in 1865, was to create a new settlement, 'Y Wladfa', where their language, culture and non-conformist faith could flourish.
Today, some 50,000 Patagonians can claim Welsh ancestry and the language is still spoken in parts.
The Welsh are credited with opening up the barren terrain of Chubut Province, making farming possible and helping the region to prosper.
Speaking ahead of his visit, Mr Jones said: "The descendants of Welsh settlers in Argentina have a special place in the minds of people in Wales and the reverse is also true.
"I hope this lasts long into the future and I look forward to cementing and celebrating the links that still exist, despite there being 7,500 miles between us."
The first official event to mark the 150th anniversary takes place in Puerto Madryn, where the Welsh settlers landed, on Monday evening.
Dignitaries from every state in Argentina will gather in the city's leisure centre for a gala concert.
This will feature a specially commissioned piece of music and performances by local school children.
On Tuesday morning, the arrival of the first emigrants will be re-enacted on the shore of Puerto Madryn.
Thousands are expected to attend.
"Let's Welshify our city!" reads a headline in one of Chubut Province's daily newspapers, looking ahead to the week's festivities.
The city it refers to is Puerto Madryn - a bustling, seaside resort with high-rise hotels, restaurants and bars.
But 150 years ago, when the Welsh settlers landed, there was virtually nothing here.
Standing on the beach, it is hard to imagine how they must have felt.
Homesick? Seasick? Surely disappointed.
They had been promised a land of plenty and arrived to a dusty, arid expanse.
But in braving the long journey from Liverpool they had shown a spirit of adventure.
And though some gave up, returned home or moved to other parts of the world instead - many were driven to build the new life they had dreamed of.
You get the sense here that the Welsh settlers are very much respected for their hard work in developing this part of Patagonia - building canals to irrigate the land, setting up a cooperative to trade goods and bring prosperity.
They are a small but significant part of the formation of modern Argentina.
"We may have been living in Chile now if it wasn't for the Welsh," one man tells me.
It is ironic really when you think that the founding fathers of 'Y Wladfa Gymreig' (the Welsh settlement in Patagonia) wanted above all else to create their own country anew, not bolster someone else's.
However, the way the Welsh traditions, culture and language have survived here makes Patagonia unique.
Though Welsh people emigrated in far greater numbers to North America and Australia - there is nowhere else in the world today where you can feel so far away and yet so at home.
The Welsh connection is now big business too - quaint Welsh tearooms and the annual eisteddfod attract hoards of Argentinean tourists.
But there is plenty of real, Welsh life under the surface.
"I'd like to visit Wales before I die," another man says in the pure and fluent Welsh he has spoken since a child.
A moment that sends a shiver down your spine.
On a building site in the town of Trevelin we witness the beginnings of a new bilingual Welsh/Spanish school.
It will become the third in Patagonia - the Welsh language is experiencing somewhat of a revival here.
Something those early pioneers would have been proud to see 150 years after setting foot in South America.
It is a remarkable story and Welsh Patagonia is a remarkable place.
World number 274 Rumford, who has been top in each round, shot a four-under 68 to finish five clear at 17 under.
Former Open champion Louis Oosthuizen shared second after a 67.
The leading 24 players progressed to the final day on Sunday and the top eight earned a bye into the last-16 round of the matchplay format.
Australia's Jake Higginbottom took the final seeded spot on count back as his 66 was the best round from the six players who finished on 11 under.
A total of 19 players, who were nine under or better, secured their places for the matchplay finale, leaving the eight golfers a shot further back to play off in two groups at the 18th hole for the five remaining available spots.
Four went through with pars at the first time of asking. Wiltshire's Jordan Smith, the 24-year-old in his maiden season on the European Tour, missed out at the first extra hole and 17-year-old Phachara Khongwatmai of Thailand claimed the 24th and final place with a par when the 18th was played for a third time.
Sunday's matches will be six-hole contests played over the 10th, second, eighth, 11th, 12th and 18th, a mixture of three par-fours, plus two par-threes and a par-five.
Should a match not produce a winner after six holes, a specially constructed 93-yard 'knockout hole' to the 18th green will be used for a sudden death play-off.
Oosthuizen, the world number 25, has dropped just one shot in 54 holes and said: "The goal was to make the top eight so I'm happy.
"In the matchplay I'll need to be a little bit more aggressive, play more towards the pin and see if I can get them really close and try and hit the putts a little firmer to get them there."

Boro looked to settle for a point after Simon Cox cancelled out Emilio Nsue's opener, but substitute Forshaw netted in injury time to win it.
The win took the Teessiders to the top of the Championship table.
"When Adam scored, once again we were together and the crowd was amazing," Karanka told BBC Tees.
"It was a difficult game, I can understand the frustration [of supporters] when they want us to win the games but they trust these players and together is best way to go about it."
Karanka's side have won their past five games following the Spaniard's absence from the defeat at Charlton on 13 March, when he was contemplating his future.
With that episode resolved, Boro have rediscovered their form to lead the table from Burnley by two points.
"It was our third game at home in a row, and it's always difficult after the QPR game - people already had nine points in their pockets," he said.
"I feel how difficult is to win every game so now we're in a really good position, I'm pleased for them and I couldn't be prouder than I am at this moment."
Blatter announced on 2 June that he would step down at an extraordinary congress between December and March.
However, on Thursday the 79-year-old said he had not resigned and was thought to be considering re-election.
"The times of flirting with the power are definitely gone," said Domenico Scala, the independent chairman of Fifa's audit and compliance committee.
"I call on all concerned - including Mr Blatter - to endorse in the interest of the reforms unequivocally the announced changing of the guard at the top of Fifa."
Two criminal investigations into alleged Fifa corruption began in the week that Blatter was elected for a fifth term, with seven Fifa officials arrested on charges of receiving bribes.
Four days after his re-election, Blatter - who is reportedly under investigation in the United States - said: "While I have a mandate from the membership of Fifa, I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football.
"Therefore, I have decided to lay down my mandate at an extraordinary elective congress. I will continue to exercise my functions as Fifa president until that election."
However, Blatter did not use the words 'resign' or 'resignation'. He did add, however, that the election would be for his "successor" and said: "I shall not be a candidate."
Police used tear gas, pepper spray and batons to break up the fighting.
Around 1,000 police and 200 private security agents were deployed by Marseille authorities for the match.
The fighting occurred in the Vieux-Port area, where Russia and England supporters clashed on 11 June.
Amena Nazam-Khan admitted at a disciplinary hearing to engaging in sexual intercourse with the Tong High School student and to sending him explicit pictures.
Ms Nazam-Khan, 35, was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
A second teacher at the school was criticised by the panel for delaying reporting the matter to management.
More on this and other Bradford stories
The National College for Teaching and Leadership professional conduct panel heard that Sharanjit Kaur was told about the relationship by the student in November 2015, but waited for a month before telling the school's senior staff.
In her written evidence to the panel, Ms Kaur said:" I admit that I should have reported the student's call to me immediately. I accept that I didn't act promptly and that was wrong."
No sanctions were applied against Ms Kaur.
The panel heard that the relationship took place between January and October 2015.
Ms Nazam-Khan invited the pupil, who turned 18 in spring 2105, to her home and took him to hotel rooms. She communicated with him via social media, including sending explicit pictures of herself.
When the school began to investigate, she told the student to delete all the messages and "never discuss our relationship [with] anyone".
The panel said it did "not consider that Mrs Nazam-Khan has shown any remorse for her actions and the impact upon the pupil; her remorse is largely for the impact upon her family and herself".
Both teachers left the school in March 2016.
Neither teacher attended the hearing. Ms Nazam-Khan can appeal against her ban in the High Court.

They both got out unharmed and swam to safety, but the car sank straight to the bottom of the lake.
It stayed there for ten hours before the team fished it out and completely rebuilt it.
The drivers were back in action for the next day of racing.
The Republic go into the Dublin game level on points with Group D leaders Serbia and aiming for the win that could put Austria out of contention.
"We want players to go to war," said Republic assistant boss Keane.
Jonathan Walters returned to training after two days off and Keane said the squad have no other injury worries.
The Republic received a further morale boost on Friday morning when injured skipper Seamus Coleman attended training as he continues his recovery from his serious horrific double leg break in March.
"You want players playing on the edge, we want players putting their bodies on the line, which lads have done before, people like Seamus Coleman," added Keane.
Austria manager Marcel Koller is without Red Bull Salzburg defender Andreas Ulmer, who is getting married this weekend, suspended duo Marko Arnautovic and Stefan Ilsanker plus injured pair Marc Janko and Marcel Sabitzer.
Bayern Munich's David Alaba remains Austria's most high-profile player, having scored in both games against the Republic in the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.
A James McClean goal helped the Irish beat Austria 1-0 in Vienna seven months ago but Keane is still expecting a big response from the under-strength visitors.
"We have to focus on a really good performance and then the result will take care of itself. We need to be ready for a tough game."

Walters' return to training was expected but, nevertheless, was a boost for Martin O'Neill with regular starting striker Shane Long and Ipswich forward David McGoldrick ruled out by injury.
"Jon Walters is fine. He trained today. He's good," added Keane.
O'Neill's main selection issue heading into Sunday's contest is whether he opts to start Harry Arter after the Bournemouth midfielder's impressive display in last weekend's friendly win over Uruguay.
Arter was named man of the match but may have to be content with a place on the bench if O'Neill opts to include the Republic's most creative midfielder Wes Hoolahan.
Goalkeeper Darren Randolph's mistake against Uruguay has led to speculation that Sheffield Wednesday's Keiren Westwood could be drafted in but Keane shed little light on that issue on Friday.
In addition, John O'Shea, Shane Duffy and Richard Keogh are battling for two centre-back roles.
"That's what he's (O'Neill) paid to do. That's the game you are in, you have to make decisions. We have good options with the goalkeepers."
Keane was typically unsentimental when discussing Coleman's recovery from the horrific injury he sustained in the qualifier against Wales in March.
"He was in good spirits and his recovery is going well. Seamus has got an injury, but he will get over it, like lots of other players," added the Republic assistant.
"Nobody died. He broke his leg and that will heal. He's in good hands with Everton and I'm led to believe the surgeons are really happy with how it's gone."
The decision comes two days after the US Treasury announced fresh plans to prevent deals known as "inversions", where a US firm merges with a company in a country with a lower tax rate.
The Pfizer-Allergan deal, valued at $160bn (£113bn), would have been the biggest example of an "inversion".
It would also have been the biggest pharmaceutical deal in history.
Pfizer said the move was "driven by the actions announced" by the US Treasury.
Ian Read, Pfizer's chairman and chief executive, said: "Pfizer approached this transaction from a position of strength and viewed the potential combination as an accelerator of existing strategies."
He added that the company could look at splitting off part of the business.
"We plan to make a decision about whether to pursue a potential separation of our innovative and established businesses by no later than the end of 2016, consistent with our original timeframe for the decision prior to the announcement of the potential Allergan transaction."
Pfizer said it would pay Botox-maker Allergan $150m "for reimbursement of expenses associated with the transaction".
Under the proposed acquisition, Pfizer would have moved its headquarters to Dublin, where the tax bill would have been lower than in the US.
The corporation tax rate in the Republic of Ireland is 12.5%, compared with 35% in the US.
On Tuesday, US President Barack Obama weighed in on the inversion trend, saying "these companies get all the rewards of being an American company without fulfilling their responsibility to pay their fair share of taxes".
In 2014, American fast-food chain Burger King bought Canadian coffee and doughnut chain, Tim Hortons. The merged group moved to Ontario in Canada, where the corporate tax rate is at 26.5%.
Analysts had said that Pfizer needed to look at acquisitions to help grow its business and revenue.
Pfizer made an offer to buy UK drugs group AstraZeneca in 2014. But Astra rejected the offer, arguing it undervalued the company.
Rita King was killed at De La Mer House in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, on Monday morning.
Police confirmed that Ms King was related to the man arrested on suspicion of murder.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place. Detectives said they had found a revolver at the home.
Earlier, the home's manager described how she confronted a man carrying a gun and convinced him to hand over the weapon.
When armed police arrived, staff said they had already taken a weapon off a man in his 80s and locked it away.
Julie Curtis, who has run the residential home for two years, told the BBC on Monday she had seen a man walking towards her with a gun.
She said: "I put my left arm around him and put his right arm between him and the gun and said 'please, please give me the gun', and he let go."
Mrs Curtis said at first she had not realised the gun was real or whether anybody had been injured.
The manager said her staff had been "brilliant" and had been "staying calm and speaking to the residents who live here".
She said: "Under the circumstances, everyone is coping very well."
Det Ch Insp Simon Werrett, of Essex Police, said: "At this stage we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the investigation and our inquiries are ongoing."
Ahmad Nawaz, 15, was shot in the arm during an attack at the Army Public School in Pakistan in December.
He was flown to the UK earlier this month and underwent a 14-hour procedure at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital before more surgery earlier this week.
His father, Mohammed Nawaz, said he felt "relieved" his son was "out of danger" and was sitting up and talking.
BBC Asian Network's Shabnam Mahmood said doctors had successfully treated Ahmad's gunshot wound and had inserted metal plates into his arm to mend his broken bones.
Ahmad has written an account of how he survived the Taliban attack and said he "pretended to be dead as he was already bleeding from his injuries".
He said the gunman stepped on him "with his heavy boot".
Scores of people, many of them children, were killed in the attack on the army-run school in Peshawar, in north-west Pakistan, last year.
Taliban gunmen scaled the walls of the school's compound before going on a shooting spree, killing 141 children and staff, in one of the worst assaults in the country's recent history.
The BBC's Phil Mackie said that Ahmad's parents lost one son, Haris, in the attack and feared that Ahmad would lose the use of his left arm.
The Pakistani government agreed to pay for Ahmad's medical treatment in Birmingham after a high-profile campaign in Pakistan.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is home to some of the world's leading experts in treating battlefield wounds.
Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai was treated at the same hospital after being shot by the Taliban in 2012.
Malala Yousafzai wrote an anonymous diary about life under Taliban rule in north-west Pakistan, and was later shot in the head by militants.
In 2014 she became the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Business leaders had wanted to raise £1m to buy Spy Booth, by 16:00 BST.
The work, depicting men "snooping" on a telephone box, appeared on a Grade II* listed house in April.
On Thursday it was confirmed it was being removed but the council has warned planning permission may be needed first.
Angela DeSouza, from the town's Women's Business Club, said the owner had told her he would be willing to consider an "attractive offer".
But, following a number of pledges of money from small businesses and individuals, Mrs DeSouza said the target had not been reached.
"There has been a lot of support but we are really looking to gather the £1m from one person," she said.
"It is definitely not something we are going to rest on. We are going to get it done."
John Joyce, from scaffolding firm Q, confirmed on Thursday that the property's owner contacted street art collector Sky Grimes to sell the piece, a week before Banksy confirmed he had painted it.
He said that part of the work would be removed "on Friday" and part of it "on Sunday or Monday", ahead of it going on show at a London gallery for a month on 4 July.
But the council warned both the property owner and Q, that it may be an offence if work is carried out "to remove the fabric" of the listed building without consent.
"The council is aware of plans to repair the render and make it safe, but not of anything more substantial," said Jane Griffiths, from Cheltenham Borough Council.
"We hope that, by highlighting the planning act, the owner will halt any works that may be planned and instead submit a listed building consent application for our consideration."
At the beginning of June, Banksy admitted painting it - three miles away from the government communications headquarters, GCHQ.
But the attacker still managed to enter Westminster and fatally wound an unarmed police officer, before he was shot.
Prime Minister Theresa May has said police are now reviewing security, "as is routine".
So what is security like in other national parliaments and seats of power, and how do other countries balance safety against accessibility?
Berlin's Reichstag has fences in front of the building where the main entrance is, but it is relatively accessible to the public and there are no fences on other sides. Admission to the building's glass dome on the rooftop is free, but you do need to register in advance.
There is even a rooftop restaurant - the only parliamentary building in the world with one, it claims - but it requires the names and dates of birth of guests 24 hours in advance, and you must bring your passport or ID with you.
Despite its open-plaza appearance, the building is encircled by low concrete blocks.
They provide no obstacle to pedestrians, but are a significant impediment to vehicles - and they dot the roadside all around the building, the park, and the German Chancellery nearby.
The Reichstag was famously set alight in an arson attack in 1933, for which a young Dutch communist was sentenced to death - something the Nazi party then used to vilify communist opponents, resulting in electoral gains.
The Brussels headquarters of the European parliament is part of a large, modern complex - and so is significantly different from the historic buildings used by many countries.
It's also decentralised, with many of the plenary sessions taking place in France, and some administration work in Luxembourg. But it's the Brussels headquarters that is most iconic.
It is easily accessibly by road or on foot, protected by low steel bollards on the roadside.
Access to the buildings themselves requires a national ID card or passport, plus "airport-style security checks", but when parliament is in session, it's possible to slip in as an observer on the day without advance notice.
The nearby Maelbeek metro station was one of the targets of the 2016 Brussels attacks - but the EU buildings themselves were untouched.
It later emerged that one of the attackers had worked in the European parliament briefly during two summers.
The French National Assembly's grand front gates directly face a bridge of the river Seine, offering a straight-line view to the iconic Place de la Concorde.
But, like the German Reichstag, concrete bollards set in front of the gates prevent any high-speed ramming from that long straight road.
The Senate, meanwhile, meets in the Palais du Luxembourg. While one exterior wall by the roadside is solid stone, the remainder lies among public walkways in a park of the same name.
Tourists and locals alike can stroll up to a waist-high gate separating them from the building's many windowed doors - although the area is patrolled by heavily armed police.
In contrast, the Elysee Palace, home to the French president, is a fortress of high walls, steel fencing, traffic restrictions, and armed patrols. It lies a short distance from the Champs-Elysees, one of the country's main tourist areas.
Groups wishing to visit either the National Assembly or the Senate need the sponsorship of a senator - but because of security measures in effect in France, individual visits are suspended for both.
More than 230 people have died in terror attacks in France since January 2015 - but none have targeted the Paris political strongholds.
There are two main centres of power in the centre of Washington DC: the Capitol building and the White House.
The grounds around the Capitol building are open to pedestrians, but vehicle traffic is cut off by traffic barriers - only allowing those with permission in.
The main entrance for visitors to the Capitol building is through a visitors' centre, where security is extremely tight - much like airport security. No liquids, food or pointed objects are allowed.
The guards throughout the area and at several important nearby buildings are very well armed.
The White House is perhaps a more popular symbol of American power, and has a myriad of myths about its security - thanks in large part to Hollywood films.
It is enclosed on all sides by steel railings several feet high, which are in turn encircled by steel bollards and chains. The mansion itself is quite distant from most of the railings, giving Secret Service plenty of time to pick up any fence-jumpers caught by the constant close surveillance - although one man, carrying a knife, made it into the building in 2014.
The closest point from a public area to the mansion is on the North Lawn, a well-known viewpoint of the White House exterior. But security there is especially tight, with armed guards, and gatehouses which protect the entry points.
And then there's the Secret Service and high-tech defences - including sniper surveillance, radar technology on the rooftop, and, of course, the "bunker" of the emergency operations centre under the building.
The BBC's Home affairs correspondent, Dominic Casciani, has written about "the attack that security chiefs have been preparing for". Here's what he had to say about the UK parliament:
There is a ring of steel around the Palace of Westminster - but the attacker was able to enter into Parliament's grounds through the gates to New Palace Yard, which is below Big Ben.
The entrance is guarded by armed officers but, unlike other parts of Parliament, there is no elaborate chicane.
There will be inevitable questions about whether this entrance was appropriately protected - but given the rudimentary nature of this man's murderous plan, it would not have stopped him trying.
Protesters and residents packed into the meeting to criticise officials for their handling of the event.
The mayor and two council members left the room as two people unfurled a sign that read "Blood On Your Hands".
It came as President Donald Trump called for unity after his initial response to the clashes drew outrage.
Mr Trump used his first prime-time policy address about Afghanistan to revise his thoughts on the violence in Charlottesville for the third time.
"A wound inflicted upon a single member of our community is a wound inflicted upon us all," he said on Monday night, reading from a teleprompter.
"When one part of America hurts, we all hurt. And when one citizen suffers an injustice we all suffer together."
During a rancorous news conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan on 16 August, Mr Trump appeared to defend the organisers of the rally, many of whom were neo-Nazis and white supremacists, by blaming "both sides" for the violence.
The right-wing march had been organised to protest against the proposed removal of a statue of General Robert E Lee, who commanded the pro-slavery Confederate forces during the American Civil War.
But it descended into violence after the rally's supporters were confronted by anti-racism groups. A car later ploughed through a crowd of counter-protesters and killed Heather Heyer.
The town agreed to drape black cloth over the the statues of Robert E Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson to mourn the loss of Ms Heyer, but protesters insisted it was not enough at Monday night's city council meeting.
They called for the Mayor Mike Signer to resign and shouted "shut it down" and "shame" at members of the council, which forced members to briefly end the meeting and leave the chambers, according to US media.
The violence in Charlottesville has underscored a national debate on America's racial legacy and the preservation of US southern culture through symbols such as the Confederate battle flag and statues of rebel leaders.
The ex-minister told The Sun EU law over-rides UK law and there were "many positive aspects" to leaving.
His intervention comes the day after 12 former defence chiefs said the UK was safer in the EU.
The UK's referendum on its EU membership takes place on 23 June.
Lord Owen, who was foreign secretary between 1977 and 1979, was one of the so-called "gang of four" who quit Labour in 1981 to set up the Social Democratic Party.
He sits as an independent in the House of Lords having given up his crossbench status in 2014 to donate to Labour.
In his Sun article the peer, who suggested he could back an exit in September, said leaving the EU "could be the spark we need to re-energise our nation: a challenge and an opportunity".
"To remain in the EU is in my judgement a more dangerous option for British security in its deepest sense - economic, political, military and social - than remaining in a dysfunctional EU dragged down by a failing eurozone," he added.
"Remaining in the EU is risking more than leaving."
However, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said leaving the EU would be a "big gamble" with the UK's security.
Mr Fallon said the "collective weight" of partnerships such as the EU made it easier to deal with global threats,
The 27-year-old has won 13 Wales caps, the last against Italy in the 2014 Six Nations.
A groin injury has since disrupted loose-head Bevington's progress.
But he hopes to add to his 112 Ospreys appearances, saying: "Having another year gives me a chance to get back in the picture."
Bevington added: "The last two years for me have been difficult with my groin injury.
"I've gone from playing regularly over four or five seasons to not being able to do anything.
"It's been tough, but the Ospreys have been brilliant looking after me, supporting me every step of the way."
Fellow Wales loose-heads Paul James and Nicky Smith plus another former Wales Under-20 loose-head Gareth Thomas are Bevington's rivals.
"If I can get back to where I need to be then we'll have four players all pushing each other," said Bevington.
Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy said: "Ryan knows he faces a tough challenge within the group. It's a challenge that only he can overcome."
Carolyn McCall told the BBC the drop had made fuel - which the firm pays for in US dollars - more expensive.
She added that the increased cost of travelling abroad is deterring some British holidaymakers.
Sterling has lost more than 10% of its value against the dollar since Brexit.
Ms McCall's comments came as Easyjet released its quarterly results, which warned that the company is earning less from each passenger.
Although passenger numbers have been rising - up to 20.2 million - extreme weather, air traffic control strikes and terrorist attacks have all contributed to the drop of almost 8% in "revenue per seat", a key measure watched closely by investors.
An "extraordinary number of external events" were to blame, Ms McCall said, "from Sharm el-Sheikh, Paris, Brussels and most recently, Nice and Turkey".
Easyjet's shares have dropped by more than 6% in London on the news.
But the chief executive argued that the drop in revenues was beneficial to customers.
"It is worth pointing out that although every airline is having a tough time, it is very good news for passengers," she told the BBC's Today programme.
"It actually means it's cheaper to fly and ticket prices are low".
The devaluation of the pound since the Brexit vote has also had an impact on "consumer confidence", or whether people feel compelled to book flights and holidays, she continued.
"If you are a passenger, you are reading every day in the papers that it is more expensive to spend money on holiday," Ms McCall said, although she added that demand would probably "normalise over next few months".
Ms McCall also confirmed that the airline would not be following rivals such as Wizz Air in scaling back from the UK market as a result of Brexit.
"We see opportunity," she said.
"We will continue to grow in the UK."
Easyjet has also confirmed that it is unlikely to move any staff out of its Luton headquarters, regardless of the result of Brexit negotiations.
While it would prefer that the UK government ensure airlines can continue to fly across Europe under existing pre-Brexit agreements, in the event that the firm has to obtain a new operating certificate from the EU, it will use existing staff in European countries to do so.
The certificate is of prime importance to Easyjet, as almost 50% of its passengers never touch down in the UK.
The airline is a major player in countries such as France, The Netherlands and Switzerland.
The 25-year-old Italian came on as a half-time substitute as the Owls lost 1-0 to Boro in the Championship.
Forestieri had played 72 minutes on Saturday as Wednesday beat Birmingham.
"Fernando came to talk to me and said 'I'm not ready to play 90 minutes because I don't feel energy'," Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"He said 'If you need me during the match I am ready'."
Former Watford player Forestieri scored twice on Boxing Day, helping Wednesday to a 3-1 win over Blues at Hillsborough and taking his personal tally to 10 for the season.
Forestieri's omission at Middlesbrough was one of six changes Carvalhal made to his starting XI for their trip to Teesside.
"We must talk about the conditions that we played this game," said the Portuguese.
"Some of the players played two days ago. We analyse player-by-player and check which are available to play the game.
"Some of them recover better than others. We can't put players at risk."
Carvalhal was frustrated Middlesbrough had a nine-day break between matches, as their game at Blackburn on Boxing Day was postponed.
"I wish to play with my players in the same condition as Middlesbrough," he added. "This makes a big difference. I can't ask any more of my players.
"If it was the other way around I am 90% sure we would win the game."

Soldiers had driven back Islamic State (IS) militants, who seized the road from Aleppo to the towns of Khanaser and Ithriya last month, state TV said.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the report.
Aleppo has been divided in two since 2012, with the government controlling the western half and rebels the east.
IS meanwhile controls a large swathe of territory to the east and north-east of the city, once Syria's commercial and industrial hub.
Aleppo and its surrounding province have seen heavy fighting since the army - backed by Russian air strikes, fighters from Lebanon's Hezbollah movement and Iranian militiamen - launched an offensive on rebel-held areas last month.
IS subsequently launched its own assaults on government positions around the town of Safira, in the countryside south-east of Aleppo. There was also fighting to the south, around Khanaser and Ithriya.
On 23 October, the jihadist group inflicted a blow on the government by capturing a checkpoint on the road between Ithriya and Khanaser.
That severed the army's only supply route into the western half of Aleppo and reportedly caused sharp rises in the prices of basic goods.
But on Wednesday, state television reported that army units had regained control of the road "after eliminating a number of Daesh [IS] terrorists" and that it would reopen on Thursday.
In a separate development, the US defence department said rebels from the new, US-backed Syrian Arab Coalition had captured 200 sq km (77 sq miles) of territory from IS in north-eastern Syria.
Col Steve Warren, the spokesman for the US-led international coalition against IS, told reporters that 80 IS militants had been killed in the battle in the al-Hawl area, which involved around 1,000 SAC fighters taking on several hundred militants.
The SAC fighters were armed with ammunition supplied by the US at the beginning of October, Col Warren said, adding that they "showed us something here, and we are pleased by that".
Meanwhile, a senior US diplomat said that 85 to 90% of Russian air strikes in Syria since the end of September had hit the moderate Syrian opposition and killed civilians in the process, despite Moscow "cynically" claiming that they were focused on "terrorists".
Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Anne Patterson told a Congressional hearing that Russia's "primary intent was to preserve the regime" of President Bashar al-Assad, and not to combat IS and other jihadist groups.
Testifying alongside her, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland said Russia had also begun "fielding its own artillery and other ground assets around Hama and Homs", two cities in western Syria.
Earlier, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the civilian death toll from reported Russian air strikes on the IS-held town of Qaryatain on Monday had risen to 23.
Carl Ferrer was arrested following an investigation, which concluded that "many" of the site's adult escort adverts involved prostitutes and victims of sex trafficking.
His lawyers argue that ads posted on the site are protected by free speech rules.
The California Attorney General says the site is an "online brothel".
Former Backpage owners Michael Lacey and James Larkin were also charged with conspiracy to commit pimping and questioned for four days. All have now been released on bail, pending a hearing on 16 November.
In a letter to the Attorney General Kamala Harris, the lawyers request that the complaints against all three be withdrawn.
"The state cannot prosecute a publisher for publishing speech with absolutely no showing that the speech was unlawful, much less any allegation that defendants ever even saw the specific ads that are the basis for its case," the lawyers wrote.
"As the Supreme Court has long recognised, states cannot punish parties that publish or distribute speech without proving they had knowledge of illegality, as any other rule would severely chill speech."
Attorney General Kamala Harris seems determined to pursue the charges and reiterated a previous statement: "Raking in million of dollars from the trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable victims is outrageous, despicable and illegal.
"Backpage and its executive purposefully and unlawfully designed Backpage to be the world's top online brothel."
The website is the second largest online classified ad service in the US, after Craigslist, and has faced scrutiny from the US Senate as well as civil lawsuits over allegations that it facilitates sex trafficking.
A case involving the alleged trafficking of children in Massachusetts was thrown out by a federal appeals court, which said that the free speech principles embodied in the Communications Decency Act "were paramount".
The Communications Decency Act was an attempt to regulate pornographic material on the internet but includes a section that states that online publishers cannot be held legally responsible for what others say and do.
Bombs killed at least 20 people at a cafe in Muqdadiya on Monday.
Militiamen then went on what was described as a rampage. Several local Sunnis were killed, and Sunni-owned shops and homes were destroyed.
The jihadist group Islamic State (IS), which frequently targets Iraqi Shia, said it was behind the cafe blasts.
IS militants also attacked a shopping centre in a predominantly Shia eastern district of the capital Baghdad on Monday evening, killing at least 18 people.
Speaking at the shopping centre on Tuesday, Iraq's Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, vowed to keep up the drive to expel IS from the country.
Mr Abbadi said the attacks were a "desperate attempt" by the group to compensate for setbacks it had suffered on the battlefield, notably recently at Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, west of Baghdad.
But the bombings are inflaming sectarian tensions in sensitive mixed areas, says the BBC's Jim Muir in Baghdad.
The double bombing at the Muqdadiya cafe killed at least 20 people, most of them Shia militiamen from the paramilitary Popular Mobilisation forces which are battling IS in western and northern Iraq. A senior member of the Iranian-backed Badr Brigades was reportedly among the victims.
A security source in nearby Baquba, the capital of Diyala province, told the BBC that Shia militiamen had later gone on a rampage against Sunnis in Muqdadiya, summarily killing at least three men from the central al-Asiri district.
They also blew up seven houses in al-Asiri and set fire to 36 shops in the main market and six Sunni mosques across the town, the sources added.
A senior member of the Popular Mobilisation told the BBC: "We strongly condemn such acts if they occurred, because they reinforce the sectarian divide between the sons of the same country, which we reject completely.
"We will punish the perpetrators of such acts."
Shia militias in Iraq have been accused of kidnapping and killing scores of Sunni civilians since IS seized control of large swathes of Iraq in June 2014.
In a separate development on Tuesday, at least four people were killed in a suicide bomb attack on the convoy of Diyala's police intelligence chief, Brig-Gen Qasim al-Anbuki, security sources said. The general himself was seriously wounded.
The pair, who already own the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL's New Jersey Devils, will join chairman Steve Parish in control at Selhurst Park.
Harris, Blitzer and Parish will each own an 18 per cent stake in Palace.
Parish said shareholders had agreed an "initial £50m injection of capital" to develop the club's stadium.
Parish helped rescue the south London club from bankruptcy in 2010. His partners in that deal - fellow Palace fans Stephen Browett, Jeremy Hosking and Martin Long - will have smaller stakes.
"I'm delighted that Josh and David have agreed to make this investment and join me in shaping the future of Crystal Palace," said Parish.
In a joint statement, Harris and Blitzer said: "We couldn't be more excited to be joining the Crystal Palace family. We were drawn to the club's rich history, exciting brand of football, strong leadership and, above all, its passionate fans.
"We look forward to supporting Steve in his role as the operating co-owner and leader of the club. Crystal Palace has a storied legacy, a bright future and we're proud to become a part of it."
Parish told BBC Sport last month that the planned deal would enable the club to tackle a chronic lack of investment in Palace's facilities over the last 25 years, without "diverting funds from the team".
Most pressing for Parish is the need to redevelop the Main Stand at Selhurst Park, but he also wants to improve the Arthur Wait Stand and the Whitehorse Lane End, as well as upgrade the club's training ground and scouting network. There are long-term plans to build a hotel and shops at Selhurst Park.
The cost of the building work on the ground alone ranges from a reported £50m to £150m.
Sir Al Aynsley-Green said exposure to alcohol before birth was one of the "most significant" causes of childhood brain damage.
His call for tougher labelling was backed by delegates at the British Medical Association annual conference.
Sir Al has called for all UK governments to raise public awareness.
Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is a condition affecting children whose mothers drank while pregnant.
Sir Al is the emeritus professor of child health at University College London, honorary fellow of Oxford University and the first children's commissioner for England.
He said: "Exposure to alcohol before birth is one of the most significant causes of childhood brain damage, learning disability, poor behaviour and even criminality, affecting up to one in every 100 infants."
"It is entirely preventable by not drinking alcohol during pregnancy, but despite this, advice to expectant mothers in the UK and especially England is inconsistent, contradictory and confusing, and services to support diagnosis and management of affected children are inadequate.
"There has, however, been political denial of the scale and importance of the problem."
Scottish Public Health Minister Maureen Watt said the Scottish government was developing a "consistent diagnostic tool" to allow it to accurately record the number of foetal alcohol syndrome cases.
She said the government were monitoring the number of cases and would be able to publish the results in Autumn 2015.
Ms Watt said: "We do not currently have foetal alcohol syndrome teams in any hospital in Scotland."
However, she said they were studying the methods of identifying and treating FAS used in other countries.
Susannah Mackay, from Dundee, has an adopted son and foster daughter who have both been diagnosed with disorders related to exposure to alcohol while in the womb. Her son was placed with her when he was seven and her daughter when she was six.
"My daughter has classic Foetal Alcohol Syndrome - not that it was diagnosed when I took her on," she said.
"My son is more impulsive. He has Foetal Alcohol Effects. It took two and a half years from their placement to get a definite diagnosis. They were eventually diagnosed by geneticists who ruled everything else out."
It is not known exactly how many children suffer from Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) but the condition is widely under-diagnosed.
Some children will display tell-tale facial features, with a 'pixie' like appearance, but many more will have brain damage which is hidden until they grow older and go to school.
Prof Bill Phillips is an academic and research scientist who has specialised in foetal alcohol spectrum disorders for many years.
"When a baby is born and it looks fine, it doesn't follow that the brain isn't affected," said the emeritus professor at the University of Stirling.
"The face is only affected if there's excessive drinking early in development - during the first three months. The brain goes on developing and drinking can affect the brain at any time."
"It makes the brain less able to regulate its activity, more impulsive, less able to ignore distractions and less able to plan behaviour according to long term goals."
"It affects all aspects of their life," said Mrs Mackay.
"They have very poor impulse control. They never think about consequences. They can't manage time or money. They lack emotional maturity. I might tell them something one day and have to tell them again the next day, and the next day."
Prof Phillips' wife, Rena, is a social worker, a support group organiser and sits on Children's Panels - legal tribunals which make decisions on the care of vulnerable children in Scotland.
"It's a ticking time-bomb which has kind of exploded," she said.
"Talking to my colleagues, we reckon that the majority of children who come before children's panels have substance misuse in the background. It's in 80% to 90% of cases."
"Unfortunately we've had examples where children have been placed for adoption and the adoptive parents didn't know about the abuse of alcohol during pregnancy.
"Health professionals in health and education don't have enough knowledge about this and they should be told because then they can deal with the consequences."
Drinks manufacturers are encouraged to include "sensible drinking" information for pregnant women on its labels, including warnings to women to "avoid" alcohol if pregnant or trying to conceive.
However such labels are not mandatory.
The Portman Group, which represents the drinks industry, said: "While it is a matter for government to determine safe drinking guidelines, alcohol companies strongly advocate that women should avoid alcohol if pregnant or trying to conceive, which is why the industry has voluntarily labelled over 90% of products on shelves with this advice.
"Calling for legislation in this area is completely unnecessary."
The question of how much alcohol damages the foetus is hotly debated.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has said "current scientific opinion points to there being no hard evidence that very small amounts of alcohol consumption during pregnancy are harmful".
However, others argue that there is growing scientific evidence that there is no safe limit.
"In contrast to places like Canada, where there is widespread awareness of the risks, and provinces provide comprehensive assessment and prevention support, in England there is little debate or political interest in the effects of drinking during pregnancy, despite a worrying culture of excessive alcohol consumption," said Sir Al.
Prof Phillips agreed.
He said: "If you want a large effect you drink a lot, if you want a little effect you drink a little. If you want no effect you don't drink at all."
Mrs Mackay said that as her children have grown into young adults they have realised that their difficulties could have been avoided.
She said: "It makes it hard to have a relationship with their birth mums, but they both do.
"It's hard to think 'I am the way I am because of what you did'.
"That causes them emotional problems. I don't think they blame their mums because it's a circumstance of their birth, but if they had a choice would they be the way they are? Probably not."
Five vehicles were involved in the crash near junction 28 at Hele, Devon, in December 2012.
Alan Clements, 47, from Hengoed, near Oswestry, died from from his injuries.
Julian Ketcher, 44. from Warwick, was jailed at Exeter Crown Court after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving earlier this month. He was also banned for five years.
The UK government's £150m Mobile Infrastructure Project (MIP) was set up to provide mobile coverage to 60,000 homes and businesses across the UK.
But North Wales AM Llyr Huws Gruffyd said none of the 27 masts planned for north Wales had been built.
The Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) said it was committed to providing better mobile coverage.
It said it had faced "particularly difficult technical challenges" in Wales, including the high degree of mountainous and sensitive landscapes and the low number of homes in mobile black spot areas.
A spokesman said: "We understand this will be disappointing news for the local community. We're committed to making sure there's better mobile coverage across the UK, and that people in rural areas are not left behind".
In 2013, the DCMS published details of its plan to improve coverage in areas where it may not be cost-effective for mobile operators to do so.
It included proposals to buy the right to erect masts and pay for the infrastructure. It also included a map showing which areas were being given priority by communications infrastructure company Arqiva, running the project.
The national team boss has often spoken of the benefits of having players at the highest possible level.
But although McGinn, 21, faces another season in the Championship, Strachan says continued improvement there will ensure his place in the squad.
"I think John should concentrate on getting to a higher level with Hibs," Strachan told BBC Scotland.
"Hibs were the club who put their trust in him. Alan Stubbs went to the chairman and said 'this kid's good for us, we want him'.
"So I think he should be concentrating on getting Hibs back because I've shown you don't have to be playing in the Premier League in England or the Premiership in Scotland to get a game."
McGinn could win his second cap against Italy in Malta on Sunday, having impressed on his debut against Denmark in March.
"We watched the Denmark game and thought 'we can call on John now, if needed'," Strachan explained. "It's up to him to make that position his own. If we can get another few like that, that's great.
"John made his debut and we were very pleased with what we saw but then we looked at it again and said to John 'think about this when you're there the next time' so there's a lot of progress to be made there."
And Strachan admits it was McGinn's attitude as much as his ability that convinced him to give him his first cap.
"John was picked by me coming to watch training," he said. "I knew how he could play - I was just watching his behaviour at training. So there's all sorts of ways you can get picked."
The squad for the friendlies against Italy and France includes more uncapped or inexperienced players than usual because of the unavailability of several regulars, but Strachan will not experiment at the cost of weakening his side.
"Of course I would like to see how Barrie McKay would fare in a Scotland jersey," he said. "But then when they get here you see how well Olly Burke's doing, how well Stephen Kingsley's doing and you think 'I can't play them all at the same time'.
"I think that would be really unfair on them. You've got to watch with young players. A couple of times , I've put people in too early, which has affected them longer term.
"Also when you're picking the team, usually there's partnerships and you don't want that to be two brand new players, no matter who you're playing. But if you're playing France and Italy you need people beside you where you can say 'I'm glad he's beside me'."
Lancashire, in second, and third-placed Hampshire are now level on points following the drawn match, but 41 points behind leaders Essex.
The weather, which washed out Tuesday's play, denied Lancashire's Haseeb Hameed (77 not out) the chance of a century.
Lancashire were in a good position at 314-5, 239 ahead, before the rain.
Transgender protesters forced a halt to debate on the bill on Wednesday.
Last month, the state approved a human rights measure banning gender identity discrimination at public facilities.
In recent weeks, two other states passed laws ensuring equal access to gender-segregated facilities for transgender students.
The bill in Arizona's Republican-dominated legislature would make it a misdemeanour offence to use a public toilet, bathroom, shower, bath, dressing room or changing room associated with a gender other than what is on one's birth certificate.
Penalties could include six months in prison.
"If you look like a man and you live your life like a man, you should be able to use a man's bathroom," said Dru Levasseur, a transgender rights lawyer for the advocacy group Lambda Legal.
But John Kavanagh, the Republican lawmaker who sponsored the bill, said he feared criminals might take advantage of the situation and expose themselves to children of the opposite gender.
"This law simply restores the law of society: men are men and women are women," Mr Kavanagh said, according to the Associated Press.
"For a handful of people to make everyone else uncomfortable just makes no sense."
But, Mr Kavanagh added, police would be allowed to use their discretion over whether to press charges if women used the men's room to avoid a long queue.
On Wednesday, Mr Kavanagh agreed to postpone a vote on the bill at the start of a hearing filled with dozens of transgender activists.
The bill's opponents say it would force transgender people to reveal themselves and risk harassment,
"Most transgender people try to slip through public places without being noticed,'' activist Erica Keppler said.
"This will turn us into criminals."
And advocates say transgender people can find it difficult to change gender on their birth certificates because many states require proof of gender treatment surgery.
Meanwhile, other states such as Idaho and Ohio do not allow such changes at all, the American Civil Liberties Union said.
It is already illegal to discriminate against transgender people in 16 US states, although the extent of protections can vary, the group added.
In an ongoing case, a Colorado family has filed a complaint against the state after their six-year-old, who was born a boy, was banned from using the girl's bathroom at her primary school.
Mrs Foster also criticised the Irish government for allowing "political instability in Dublin" to drive its decision making "as much as any concern for Northern Ireland".
The first minister was speaking at her first DUP conference as party leader.
She was elected leader last December after Peter Robinson stood down.
Mrs Foster made her criticisms despite relations with the Irish government being "as good as they have been at any point in our history".
"While they seek to take the views of people in Northern Ireland on the issue of Brexit at home, their (the Irish government's) representatives are sent out around the world to talk down our economy and attempt to poach our investors.
"It is clear conference that the one place that a hard border does exist is in the mind of the Irish government.
"Well, I don't believe in a hard border and am happy to welcome shoppers looking for a bargain across the border anytime they want to come."
The DUP campaigned for a leave vote in the EU referendum campaign although a majority of people in Northern Ireland voted to remain.
Mrs Foster said that she respected those who wanted to remain, but that she has "no time for those who want to re-fight the referendum".
"That debate is over. Rather than talking up the challenges, we should be looking forward to the opportunities.
"Brexit represents the biggest economic opportunity for this country in decades.
"But, the only way we can ensure that Northern Ireland's interests are best served is if we are united and determined."

"I'll try to get back for bath time and to put her to sleep - the baby, not Kim."
"The crowd helped for sure," Murray told BBC Sport. "Physically I struggled a little at the end of the third set and a little in fourth.

Murray's fierce determination hauled him through bouts of fatigue and frustration to claim the biggest scalp, at least in terms of rankings, of his Davis Cup career.
The world number two smashed his racquet and berated the umpire at times - but eventually got the better of a high-class opponent with some magnificent tennis.
Nishikori, 26, is ranked sixth in the world and threatened to become only the second man to recover from two sets down against Murray.
The Japanese player hit back to lead by a break early in the fifth set before Murray dug deep to claim a remarkable win.
Double faults from Nishikori and some nerveless play at key times from Murray had seen the Scot edge the first two sets, before the effect of returning after a five-week break appeared to take hold.
Nishikori grew in confidence, playing superbly and firing a spectacular backhand winner to take the third set, and serving out the fourth at the second opportunity.
A break at the start of the fifth had the Japanese bench on their feet but Murray once again excelled under the pressure of the Davis Cup.
A fizzing forehand return winner won a spectacular game for 4-2, making it five breaks in six games, and Murray held on in two epic service games to seal the win.
Murray said: "I was a little bit calmer in the fifth set. I was panicking a little bit at the end of the third when I was struggling physically, I didn't quite know what to do.
"Last year was incredible every time I played in the Davis Cup. This team did something special and I would like to do the same again this year.
"Obviously the next match will be extremely tough and if we stick together and fight we have a chance."
"For the 14th time in a row in the Davis Cup, Murray struck the winning pose - this time at the end of a gruelling encounter which demanded every ounce of his reserves of stamina after almost five weeks away from tour.
"For all the magnificence of Nishikori's performance, Murray's exceptional willpower shone through when the chips were down. He saved set point to win the second set on a tie-break and responded after losing his opening service game in the decider by breaking Nishikori three times in a row.
"A 29th singles win equals Tim Henman's Davis Cup haul; Bunny Austin's British record is now just seven wins away."

It is alleged to have happened when she left parliament early on Wednesday.
According to the rules, MEPs cannot vote on behalf of another MEP.
The accusations are the latest in a series of controversies involving the right-wing politician in recent months. Last week she appeared in court accused of inciting racial hatred.
She denied committing any offence when she compared Muslims praying in the street to the Nazi occupation.
In the latest scandal on Wednesday, the vice president of her political group is alleged to have voted for himself as well as for Ms Le Pen at least eight times.
"She just got up and left in the middle of the voting session, and you can clearly see National Front Vice President Marcel de Graaff voting for her," parliament spokeswoman Marjory Van Den Broeke told the BBC.
Manfred Weber, leader of the EPP group in parliament. said that in the light of the accusations, he will send a letter to European Parliament President Martin Schulz, asking him to open a formal investigation into matter.
Mr Schulz's office told the BBC that he is looking into the allegations.
He has the power to sanction MEPs by suspending them, fining them, or cutting their daily allowance.
But Ms Le Pen is quoted by French media as saying that even if there was a breach of parliamentary procedures, Mr de Graaff will have to take responsibility for it rather than her.
Her anti-immigration and anti-EU message is attracting increasing support in France and her party is hoping to win two French regions in December's local elections.
On the day when Jeremy Corbyn won the leadership for the first time, Len McCluskey was the first person to wrestle the new leader into an awkward bear hug on the small stage in the Westminster pub where his team celebrated his victory.
When Mr Corbyn has hit trouble, Mr McCluskey - the bruisers' bruiser - has been on hand to buttress Mr Corbyn's support, or even to warn off his critics.
But now, enters the contender who will take the Liverpudlian on. Gerard Coyne, the West Midlands secretary of Unite, will announce later on Tuesday that he will fight his boss for the chance of capturing the crown.
Mr Coyne has worked for the union for more than 20 years, having joined as a shop worker at Sainsbury's.
One of his supporters said he felt the union must return to putting its members' interests ahead of party politics. Mr Coyne is understood to be concerned about Mr Corbyn's anti-Trident stance, given that thousands of Unite members work in the defence industry, as well as worried about workers in the auto industry after reports suggested that the Labour leader was considering advocating a ban on petrol cars.
But it won't just be a fight between the two men. Many of Mr Corbyn's supporters will see the challenge as another attempt to undermine the Labour leader.
On the other side, many Labour MPs will see the chance of shifting Mr McCluskey as a way of changing the party's troubled dynamics.
It will ultimately be up to more than a million Unite members to have their say in the spring. But far from being an obscure exercise in ticking boxes on a ballot, it will be the next skirmish, a proxy for the battle over Labour's future.
The visitors declared on 453-9, after Chris Wood was caught off Ryan Sidebottom and Fidel Edwards was unable to bat having been injured warming up.
With a lead of 140 runs, Yorkshire were reduced to 43-4 as James Tomlinson and Ryan McLaren took two wickets each.
Andrew Gale (46) and Liam Plunkett (27no) saw the hosts to 183-8 declared as the sides settled for a draw.
Edwards, who was hurt while playing football before play on day four, extended Hampshire's injury list to eight players. The county have only 18 full-time professionals.
Despite being without one of their premier bowlers, the visitors ran through Yorkshire's top order for a second time in the match, with Tomlinson trapping Alex Lees lbw before having Gary Ballance caught at cover.
McLaren then had Adam Lyth caught behind and dismissed England batsman Jonny Bairstow, who scored a career-best 246 to rescue Yorkshire in the first innings, for just five as the visitors pressed for an unlikely victory.
Captain Gale steadied the innings before edging behind off the bowling of Wood, as the White Rose batted out the rest of the final day before shaking hands on a draw with 18 overs remaining.
Hampshire had looked unlikely to earn a draw when they were reduced to 128-5 in their first innings, trailing by more than 450 runs, but gritty centuries from James Vince and Sean Ervine ensured they left Headingley with an impressive 10 points.
Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale: "It's not panic stations - it's the first game of the season.
"If this game has taught us anything, it's that you can't afford to slack off for a couple of sessions against any team in this division - so we'll have to make sure we're really on it.
"I didn't feel we slacked off on the third day; I just felt we weren't at our best.
"Today, I thought we were just a bit sloppy and a bit soft. That's not a sign of the cricket we'd like to play. We've flagged it up, and it won't happen again."
The Super League champions and rugby union club Yorkshire Carnegie train in Kirkstall next to the river Aire, which burst its banks on Sunday.
All seven training pitches, in addition to the main building, were contaminated by flood water.
It is likely to be at least a month before the two sides and 60 staff will be able to return.
"It is catastrophic for all the rugby operation, the medical side, coaching, development and the Foundation," said club chief executive Gary Hetherington.
"We have had flooding before, but never to this extent.
"It was under six feet of water - so that covered the gym, rehab facilities, wrestle room, meeting room and changing facilities," he added.
Six grass training pitches will be treated, although it is thought the 3G pitch, which allows all-weather use, will have to be dug up.
It is not yet known how much it will cost to repair the damage.
The Rhinos, who begin the defence of their title against Warrington on 4 February, will need to find alternative training venues in the city, but they are due to spend part of January in the USA at a training camp.
Yorkshire Carneige, meanwhile, are third in the Championship and are preparing to play at Ealing on 2 January.
Staff who deal with the medical, conditioning, administrative and charitable aspects of both clubs are likely to be found a temporary working space at Headingley Stadium, which is about two miles away.
Ryan Harley's 25-yard thunderbolt after 66 minutes gave the Grecians the lead before former Exeter player Arron Davies levelled for Stanley four minutes later.
Taylor then volleyed home the winner to lift Exeter off the bottom of the fledgling table.
Stanley only had themselves to blame as they spurned the best first-half chances.
Sean McConville forced goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik into a two-handed save, Jordan Clark curled a shot narrowly wide while Seamus Conneely headed inches over the crossbar just before the half-hour mark.
Accrington came close again after 44 minutes when Davies had a shot cleared off the line by Craig Woodman, then Blackburn loanee John O'Sullivan saw his fierce strike held by Olejnik at the second attempt just before half-time.
Exeter came out stronger after the break and the game erupted in the 66th minute when Harley got the ball from Ollie Watkins 25 yards out and unleashed a fierce strike which goalkeeper Aaron Chapman could do nothing about.
It was all-square after 70 minutes when Janoi Donacien found Davies on the edge of the area and he fired the ball low and hard into the net against his former club.
But Stanley only held onto their lead for two minutes as Robbie Simpson laid the ball off for Taylor to volley home the winner.

The 22-year-old, who came through the Sevilla youth set-up, made 11 La Liga appearances during a loan spell at Mallorca last season.
He joins Villa on a three-year deal.
Luna joins winger Aleksandar Tonev, defender Jores Okore, midfielder Leandro Bacuna and striker Nicklas Helenius as Villa's summer signings.
"I've always believed that I could play in the Premier League," said Luna. "To have this opportunity with a club as historic and huge as Aston Villa and with a manager who is building a squad of young players with great prospects is tremendously exciting.
"The manager explained to me that it is a young squad but also one with good experience and everyone is hungry.
"There have been many good and great players from Spain who have come here and succeeded and I know I can adapt my game also.
"The quality of football in La Liga is also respected everywhere and this is why I believe I can do well in the Premier League."
Sir Stephen House became the first chief constable of Police Scotland when the new single force was created in 2013.
His four-year contract is due to end in September 2016.
In an interview with the Herald newspaper, Sir Stephen said he was "unlikely" to apply for a second contract.
He said: "September 2016 will get me to somewhere like 35 and a half years in policing, probably a fair innings.
"The idea of me applying for a second contract is unlikely."
Sir Stephen oversaw the complex amalgamation of Scotland's eight regional police forces into a single national force, which is the second largest in the UK.
Since then, he has overseen successes such as the policing of last year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
But his decision to put armed officers on routine patrols, as well as the controversy over the force's policy on stopping and searching juveniles, put him on a collision course with politicians.
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie told the annual conference of the Scottish Police Federation on Wednesday that his party no longer had confidence in Sir Stephen, and called on him to "change his ways" or go.
Mr Rennie said politicians had "too often" been told one thing by the force's leadership on a list of controversial issues including stop and search, armed police and targets only to discover they were "untrue".
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said last month she has "full confidence" in Sir Stephen.
In an interview for the BBC's Scotland 2015 programme on Thursday, Sir Stephen admitted the speed at which Police Scotland had to be set up meant it had not been able to "go as carefully as we should have done", and said some things "could and should" have been done better.
He added: "I can tell anyone hand on heart that I have never been more accountable than I am now, and if you talk to any of my senior officers, divisional chief superintendents running different parts of policing in Scotland, they will all tell you the same thing.
"(We are) far more accountable under the new system in Police Scotland than ever was the case when there was eight forces."
A New York Times report claims performance-enhancing drug use was rife and covered up at the 2014 competition.
The Russian Ministry of Sport described the new allegations as "a major shock".
On Tuesday, the World Anti-doping Agency (Wada) said it would investigate allegations made in a CBS programme.
That programme claimed Russian spies posed as anti-doping staff at Sochi, where the hosts won 13 gold medals.
In the New York Times report, Dr Grigory Rodchenkov, who was director of the country's anti-doping laboratory at the time, alleges:
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has now called for further inquiries in response to the allegations.
An IOC spokesman said: "These allegations are very detailed and very worrying and we ask the World Anti-Doping Agency to investigate immediately.
"The laboratory in Sochi was fully accredited by Wada. The IOC also relied on the work of its own international experts in the laboratory - the Games group.
"Based on the findings of a Wada inquiry the IOC will not hesitate to act with its usual policy of zero tolerance for doping and defending the clean athletes."
The Russian Ministry of Sport said it has "nothing to hide" and would continue working to Wada guidelines.
A statement added: "We have never claimed that we do not have doping problems and we acknowledge that changes are needed and we understand that we have to regain international community's trust for what we believe is a global issue."
Claims in the CBS programme said Russian spies posed as anti-doping staff at Sochi. The BBC and Wada have been unable to independently verify the allegations made.
Russian athletes have already been banned from international competition by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the sport's world governing body, after a Wada commission report alleged "state-sponsored" doping in the country.
The IAAF is meeting next month to assess whether Russia has done enough to tackle its doping culture before being allowed to take part in August's Olympic Games in Rio.
The Easyjet service from Edinburgh was bound for Funchal in Madeira on Monday but had to make an emergency landing in Lisbon.
The flight was met by police in the Portuguese capital and then made its way to Madeira.
It was delayed by about two hours. The passenger was found not to have a gun.
The airline has apologised for any inconvenience caused to passengers but stressed it takes such incidents seriously.
An Easyjet spokeswoman said: "Easyjet can confirm that flight EZY6957 from Edinburgh to Funchal on 1 August diverted to Lisbon and was met by police due to a passenger behaving disruptively.
"Easyjet's cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.
"Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously, do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour on board and always push for prosecution.
"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused."
Mr Obama said he rejected the Russian assertion that all armed opponents of the "brutal" Mr Assad were terrorists.
Moscow insists its air strikes - which began on Wednesday - are targeting IS.
But the Syrian opposition and others have suggested non-IS rebels are bearing the brunt of Russian attacks.
Russia said its aircraft had hit IS command centres, arms depots and military vehicles. Targets included the IS stronghold of Raqqa, but also Aleppo, Hama and Idlib - provinces with little IS presence.
"The problem here is Assad and the brutality that he's inflicted on the Syrian people, and it has to stop," Mr Obama said at a White House news conference.
"We're not going to co-operate with a Russian campaign to destroy anyone who is disgusted and fed up with Assad."
He added: "From their [Russia's] perspective, they're all terrorists. And that's a recipe for disaster."
And Mr Obama warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia - and another Assad ally, Iran - faced dangers ahead.
"A military solution alone, an attempt by Russia and Iran to prop up Assad and try to pacify the population is just going to get them stuck in a quagmire. It won't work. They will be there for a while if they don't take a different course."
But he conceded that neither Russia nor the US would engage in a "proxy war" because of their differences over Syria.

Inside an air strike - Activist describes "frightening Russian air strike"
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the latest Russian strikes hit a command post near the IS "capital" of Raqqa, killing 12 IS fighters.
Activists and residents there said IS cancelled Friday prayers and emptied mosques across the city amid fears of further strikes.
But there were also reports of strikes targeting a radio mast and communications tower in Aleppo that belonged to the Free Syrian Army - forces opposed to President Assad which have received American training and supplies.
The air strikes in Syria are Russia's first military engagement outside the borders of the former Soviet Union since the end of the Cold War.
Alexei Pushkov, the head of the foreign affairs committee in Russia's parliament, said the campaign - which began on Wednesday - could last for three to four months.
He added that the US had only "pretended" to bomb IS, and promised that Russia's campaign would be much more effective.
In a statement, the US, UK, Turkey and other members of the coalition targeting IS with air strikes called on Russia to cease air strikes they said were hitting the Syrian opposition and civilians, adding that they would "only fuel more extremism".
The warning from members of the US-led coalition came as the French, German and Russian leaders met in Paris. The meeting was called to discuss peace efforts in Ukraine, but were overshadowed by Syria.
French President Francois Hollande said he had reminded his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that air strikes in Syria should hit IS targets alone.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking alongside Mr Hollande after the summit, said: "Both of us insisted on the fact that IS is the enemy that we should be fighting."
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, speaking at the United Nations in New York, said air strikes alone were not enough to defeat IS but described the Russian action as "effective'' because it supported his country's efforts to combat terrorism.
He also said his country's army was "capable of cleansing the country of those terrorists".
Why is there a war in Syria?
Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that four years on has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.
Who is fighting whom?
Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other.
What's the human cost?
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe.
How has the world reacted?
Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes.

Signage at the station was warning people certain services were already very busy before they arrive there and alternative transport may be needed.
Operators London Midland said the firm could not just put more trains on.
It said there "aren't enough diesel trains left in the country to meet the demand that we're seeing".
Spokesman Francis Thomas added: "So rather than leave people stranded we felt this was the right thing to do.
"The good news next year is the line to Bromsgrove gets electrified and three extra trains an hour will run on that route."
Sarah Wooledge tried to get on a train on Wednesday, but had to get a bus and missed her connection to London.
She said: "Unfortunately we were told that the train was full from Hereford and they had lots of problems and couldn't fit us on.
"So we had to get a bus to Longbridge and then from Longbridge a train up into New Street."
A proclamation was made by the office of city mayor Bill de Blasio before New York City FC's game against DC United on Thursday, declaring 1 September as the day of celebration.
And the former Chelsea, Manchester City and West Ham man marked the occasion by scoring two goals for his side in a 3-2 win.
It represents a remarkable turnaround for the 38-year-old, who was being called the worst signing in MLS history just a little more than three months ago.
The fifth highest-paid player in the league - he earns $6m (£4.52m) a year - joined up with the US side in July 2014 with much fanfare.
But the following month he joined New York City's parent club, Manchester City, seemingly on loan until January 2015. That loan was later extended, which meant the man capped 106 times by his country would not be around for the start of the MLS season - a decision which "outraged" New York's fans.
I never felt like I had a point to prove to people on the outside
It then emerged he was contracted to the Manchester club and had not been on loan after all. A statement was issued admitting "a mistake" in communications, adding to New York fans' anger.
Lampard finally made his MLS debut in August 2015 - a year after fans thought he had signed for them. His first season featured three goals in 10 games, with critics underwhelmed by his performances.
He then missed the first 10 games of the current season with injury, and was jeered by his own fans on his return - which came in a 7-0 defeat by rivals New York Red Bulls.
Since returning to the side in June, Lampard's form has been good enough to win the doubters over. The team sit top of the Eastern Conference, and he scored the club's first hat-trick as they beat Colorado Rapids 5-1 last month.
He recently hit his 300th career goal, leading to the mayor's office making its declaration.
Lampard was presented with a letter of proclamation as well as a commemorative shirt and ring before the DC United game.
And his two goals in the match have taken his total to six in the last six games.

"Even when I first came back, I was scoring a few but I felt I needed more fitness," he told reporters afterwards. "And I'm getting to that level now where I'm getting stronger and fitter.
"I never felt like I had a point to prove to people on the outside. I always had a point to prove to myself. I don't want this to be a place where I come here at this point in my career and it doesn't work. I want to make it work. I have that desire."
Each year, the New York Mayor's Office makes anywhere between 150 and 200 proclamations. They are designed to recognise organisations and people with significant New York City connections that are marking a milestone occasion or achievement.
In a statement, mayor De Blasio said Lampard was "one of the greatest midfielders of his generation", adding: "Frank has great stamina, a powerful kick, a shrewd eye and an innovative approach to the world's most popular sport.
"With gratitude and admiration, I extend my congratulations, Frank, and best wishes for continued success. Your mayor will be rooting for you throughout this season and well beyond."

This was the second highest annual total, after the record set in 2014, and was a rise of 352 on the previous year.
UK registrations hit a record of nearly 2.7 million registrations in 2016, up 2.3% on the year.
Vauxhall remained the biggest selling brand in Scotland, with 27,758 cars registered, ahead of Ford on 24,134.
Volkswagen held third position, with 16,053. That was a fall of 1,800 registrations compared with 2015, during which the German carmaker was engulfed in a crisis about misleading claims for its diesel engine's fuel efficiency.
The other most popular manufacturers included:
At the more expensive end of the market, four McLarens were registered in 2016 - all of them last month - plus 18 Lamborghini, 26 Rolls-Royce, 49 Astan Martins, 34 Ferrari and 67 Maserati.
The Vauxhall Corsa was the most popular new car in Scotland, with 10,095 registered, followed by the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo, Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra.
Motor traders say the increase in new car registrations has been driven by low interest rates, and the wide choice of 48 makes and 400 models.
The market may also have been distorted by "pre-registered cars", which dealers buy and hold, to sell at a discount after 90 days. A BBC investigation found they could account for a fifth of registrations.
With the figures came a warning that after a challenging 2016, the new year looks more difficult still.
Sandy Burgess, chief executive of the Scottish Motor Traders Association, said: "Despite the various challenges we experienced in 2016 with political and economic uncertainties, Scotland's new car market delivered another significant performance as our dealers were able to bring a fantastic range of innovative and high tech models to market.
"The new year is shaping up to be more challenging, with the impacts of recent sterling depreciation raising the price of imported goods, fuel prices starting to increase and further unease around the Brexit situation.
"But interest rates are still at historic lows and there are lots of new models arriving in showrooms throughout 2017."
The demonstration, organised by the Friends of the Library of Birmingham (FLB), saw people march from New Street to Victoria Square from noon.
Birmingham City Council has cut £1.3m from the library's budget. Hours have been reduced from 73 a week to 40 and the number of staff is being halved.
FLB member Martin Sullivan said the decision could be reversed.
"No decision is final," he said.
"The council's argument it has no money to spend on the library is false because they are making decisions to invest in a number of other things while rejecting the library.
"We think there is scope, at least, to increase the number of hours."
The library, which opened in September 2013, is the biggest in Europe and features an amphitheatre and roof gardens.
The funding will go towards operating costs, a repairs backlog and to make improvements to the terminal building.
Ms Sturgeon rejected calls to rename it Robert Burns Airport, saying this could cause confusion.
Labour accused of her of "keeping taxpayers in the dark" over how the money would be spent.
Rival airports voiced concerns about competition from publicly-subsidised Prestwick.
The Scottish government bought the struggling airport for £1 last year amid fears it would be forced to close.
Ms Sturgeon told Holyrood's infrastructure committee the airport would be operated under public ownership "on a commercial basis".
She said the Scottish government investment would be made "in the form of loan funding".
She added that there was "no quick fix solution for Prestwick" and the airport may not be profitable for several years.
The airport had a pre-tax loss of £9.77m in its final full year under previous owners Infratil.
Ms Sturgeon is also the Scottish government's infrastructure, investment and cities secretary.
She said the airport would operate as a public corporation on a commercial basis" at arms' length from government.
She added that £5.5m had been provided already since acquisition. and the Scottish government would be required "to provide a further £3m in operating support".
There will be nearly £7m in capital investment - £4.5m for repairs and £2.4m to make improvements to the terminal building, including refurbishment of the duty free area.
Ms Sturgeon argued that Prestwick had suffered from a lack of investment and there was a "backlog of essential maintenance".
The committee evidence session came after finance executive Romain Py completed a three month review of the airport, including options for ownership, on behalf of the Scottish government.
Ms Sturgeon described Prestwick as a "non-typical airport", with only about half of its revenue dependant on passenger traffic.
She suggested that future revenue could come from freight and retail development.
The airport's executive directors would be tasked with developing commercial opportunities.
A business plan would include an assessment of a reduced Ryanair schedule for summer 2014 and passenger numbers will be monitored.
Ms Sturgeon ruled out renaming the airport after Robert Burns. A petition lodged with the Scottish Parliament by The Robert Burns World Federation earlier this year had called for a name change, with supporters arguing it would boost tourism.
The deputy first minister told the committee: "On balance I have concluded there are strong commercial reasons for retaining the Glasgow Prestwick airport name."
She acknowledged the decision would disappoint some local people but the airport had to be marketed internationally.
She did not rule out a "Burns-related theme" for the airport.
Scottish Labour's infrastructure spokesman, James Kelly, said: "Nicola Sturgeon had the opportunity today to set out the Scottish government's plans for Prestwick Airport, unfortunately she has failed to do so in any detail, and Scottish tax-payers remain in the dark.
"Last year Prestwick Airport was losing nearly £1 million a month.
"It is a nonsense that it will be close to a year since the Scottish government bought the site before a credible plan is put to the people of Scotland, especially when the Scottish government has blocked the publication of analysis they commissioned on the airport.
"Key information is available now, but it is being denied to the Scottish public."
He added: "Nicola Sturgeon should make a statement before parliament on Prestwick, and publish the business case so that taxpayers can see how £15m of public money is being invested and when the airport will return to profitability."
Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone said: "By refusing to publish the report into the work by consultants Romain Py, on the grounds of commercial confidentiality, the Deputy First Minister has left many unanswered questions."
A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said: "Scotland's main airports create jobs and attract routes with no public subsidy and we believe that the market should not be distorted. Competition should be allowed to flourish."
A statement from Glasgow Airport said: "We have previously received assurances that Glasgow Airport will not be placed at a competitive disadvantage, but will continue to seek clarity on how the Scottish government intends to develop its asset."
Stuart Patrick, chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, said: "We believe that any strategy designed to increase passenger numbers at Prestwick must not be at the expense of Glasgow International Airport."
A spokesman said the Robert Burns World Federation would continue the campaign to rename the airport.
"If George Best, Robin Hood and John Lennon are deemed worthy of being remembered, the iconic Robert Burns should be remembered in Scotland as he is revered the world over," he said.

The move is part of an overhaul of phone numbers and charges planned for many months by regulator Ofcom which has now come into force.
It said the cost of so-called service numbers, starting with 084, 087, 118 or 09, had also been simplified.
But there are warnings of confusion over the exact cost of these calls and that the burden on firms may rise.
The changes, first announced more than a year ago, will affect 175 million phone numbers.
They mean:
This has prompted many businesses and organisations to move from 08 numbers to cheaper 03 numbers.
Ofcom said that UK consumers spent a total of £900m a year on 250 million calls to 084, 087, 09, or 118 service lines.
Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than calls to geographic 01 and 02 numbers.
David Hickson, of the Fair Telecoms Campaign, described the changes as "terrific news".
"The end of the rip-off numbers is not far off," he said.
The cost of calls to remaining service numbers has been split into an "access" charge going to the telecoms provider and a "service" charge set by the organisation or business being called.
But Richard Neudegg, of price comparison website Uswitch, claimed that these access charges ranged from 15p to 44p across the various mobile networks.
"People could easily be caught out if they are not clued up about their provider's new charges," he said.
He said this could be a "big worry", but Ofcom has suggested that, in a competitive market, prices could start to fall.
All this is likely to mean the mobile networks take a financial hit.
Various groups have also suggested that the number of calls to 0800 numbers could rise, as people might be more likely to make spontaneous calls to truly freephone numbers.
This could also add an additional cost burden to businesses and put more pressure on staff, according to Justin Hamilton-Martin, chief executive of Ultracomms.

The youth worker, from Sheringham in Norfolk, played Peter Beale as a child from 1998 until 2004.
Shade, 24, admitted five counts of causing or inciting a child under 18 to engage in sexual activity while in a position of trust and one count of sexual activity with a child.
He was released on bail and will be sentenced at a later date.
The offences were committed against three girls aged between 14 and 17, and happened between 2012 and 2015, Norwich Crown Court heard.
More news from Norfolk
Shade was a youth worker at a project in Norfolk at the time when he sent sexual text messages to girls and touched one on the bottom, prosecutor Chris Paxton said.
The former soap actor had been helped by the youth project himself, but "as he reached the age of 18 he became formally employed as a youth worker... and engaged with many young people who came from similar backgrounds and vulnerabilities as he had", Mr Paxton said.
"During the course of his employment he accepts by his pleas that his relationships became too close to a number of attendees and he would engage with them by texting them messages asking them to have sex or to send sexual pictures of breasts and the like.
"On one occasion and only one occasion he touched one of them."
Shade had no previous convictions and was "tearful and expressed a degree of remorse" when interviewed by police, Mr Paxton told the court.
He had initially denied 11 sexual offences against four girls, but changed his plea, admitting to six counts against three of the teenagers.
The prosecution ordered the remaining five counts to lie on file.
Judge Maureen Bacon warned Shade he could face a jail sentence.
Speaking after the hearing, an NSPCC spokesman said: "Shade was trusted to protect children but he appallingly abused this trust by carrying out sex offences against them.
"Crimes of this nature can have a lasting effect on children and [his] young victims must receive all appropriate support to recover."
Shade is one of a number of actors who have appeared in the BBC soap playing Ian and Cindy Beale's son, Peter. The character was named after his grandfather, market stallholder Pete Beale.
The "leap second" means the last minute of June will have 61 seconds in it.
Leap seconds - and leap years - are added as basic ways to keep the clock in sync with the Earth and its seasons.
However, there are concerns the extra second could cause problems for some computer systems because it has to be added manually.
Timekeepers are divided over whether to keep the additional unit of time - and the issue is set to be debated at a meeting later this year.
The addition will mean that the last minute of June will have 61 seconds; while 23:59:59 usually becomes 00:00:00, the leap second will ensure the time becomes 23:59:60.
Peter Whibberley, senior research scientist at the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL), said: "Because they depend on measurements of the Earth's rotation, which varies unpredictably, leap seconds occur at irregular intervals."
News coverage has focused on the potential for software problems that could affect financial trading and other operations around the world. Mr Whibberley, who works in the time and frequency group at NPL, stressed the need for planning.
"Leap seconds are announced only six months in advance. This means computers and software cannot be supplied with leap seconds programmed in, and they must be inserted manually," he explained.
"Getting leap seconds wrong can cause loss of synchronisation in communication networks, financial systems and many other applications which rely on precise timing.
"Whenever a leap second occurs, some computer systems encounter problems due to glitches in the code written to handle them. The consequences are particularly severe in the Asia-Pacific region, where leap seconds occur during normal working hours."
Because the irregularity of adding leap seconds causes problems for computer networks, several proposals have been put forward to abolish them.
The issue is still being considered by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and is set to be discussed at the World Radiocommunication Conference in Geneva in November this year.
Delegates will aim to reach a decision to either end leap seconds or adopt a technical solution to reduce the problems they cause.
The odds may be against a woman who had won only one Grand Slam match in her entire career before this week, but confidence is a wonderful thing. After victory over the Wimbledon runner-up Garbine Muguruza and the 18th seed Andrea Petkovic here in New York, Konta has now won 16 matches in a row.
The 24-year-old, who was born in Sydney to Hungarian parents, settled in the UK 10 years ago. She has been a British citizen since May 2012, but has always played third fiddle to Watson and Laura Robson, who has twice reached the last 16 of a Grand Slam and won the Wimbledon junior title at just 14.
Konta had to come through three rounds of qualifying just to reach the main draw, but has appeared totally in control of her emotions at Flushing Meadows and has given no hint of the anxiety which used to mask her true ability.
Shares in her mental resilience coach Juan Coto must be rising as rapidly as those controlled by some of the hedge fund managers he also works with.
"We see each other when she is in the UK, and occasionally I also go to tennis tournaments," Coto told me.
"When she's away we communicate either by Skype, but most recently we have had short discussions and coaching sessions using WhatsApp - which seems to work very well.
"You need to be humble, and to accept that a mental coach can help you. You also need to be courageous to try different ways of thinking and behaving, and finally you need to be disciplined to consistently train mentally."
Britain's Fed Cup captain Judy Murray feels Konta's heavy defeat in a match against Belarus in the preliminary stage of the competition in February was a catalyst for change.
"She had a bit of a horror," the captain told BBC Sport.
"She suffered from really bad performance anxiety and she lost that match very, very quickly and was distraught afterwards. But it really was a question of her recognising that she needed to do something to help her to control her emotions and her mind."
Konta has always had a reputation as a very diligent professional, but Murray thinks there may also be another reason for her unprecedented run of success.
"I think she's travelling a bit more with her boyfriend and I think that's helped also because it means you've got switch-off time from the tennis," she said.
"You can go out and do relatively normal things and I think that helps you to stay much more emotionally stable. So I think the package around her has really helped her to be much more in control of what she wants to do on the court."
Kelsey Anderson - the wife of world number 14 Kevin - is a big advocate of the benefits of a travelling partner. After much deliberation, she chose to give up her career as an accountant and accompany Kevin on tour full-time.
"For morale, I think it's great: it plays a huge, pivotal part of a player's success if it's a stable and positive relationship," Kelsey told me in the run-up to her husband's fourth round match with Andy Murray.
"It's just such a fun experience to be able to share that part of your life with the person you care about the most. If you're spending time on court with your coach all day, your brain doesn't really get a chance to shut off and it's nice to have somebody non-tennis specific to mediate the energy and the atmosphere a little bit."
For Konta, the puzzle is now starting to knit together very nicely.

The shock of a dramatic cut in her LTA funding for 2015 encouraged her to move her training base to Gijon in northern Spain, where Esteban Carril and Jose-Manuel Garcia have overseen at first a steady, and now spectacular, rise up the rankings.
Supporters of the LTA's austerity drive herald the benefits of tough love.
Would Konta have made the changes and progress she has, they argue, if still was wrapped in the comfort blanket of governing body funding?
Despite her underdog status, it is worth pointing out that victory over Kvitova will make Konta the first British woman to reach a Grand Slam singles quarter-final since Jo Durie at Wimbledon in 1984.
"I've probably seen her more than she's seen me," Konta confessed to BBC Sport.
"My locker is right above Petra's, funnily enough. I feel very, very fortunate and blessed that I get to play against such a great champion as her."
Margaret Henderson, 30, is accused of killing 67-year-old Eddie Girvan in his home in Greenisland, County Antrim.
The court heard claims that Mr Girvan pointed a sword at her during a row at the house on Station Road.
She was refused bail in the hearing. Defence lawyers said she denies the murder charge.
They added that her actions were in "self-defence".
Prosecutors said Mr Girvan's body was discovered tied up and seated inside his home on Station Road where he collected antiques and jewellery.
He had stab wounds to his chest and his shorts were round his ankles.
The court heard that officers had gone to the address to investigate a suspected burglary linked to a hit-and-run road collision at Donegall Quay in Belfast.
A Hyundai car belonging to the victim is believed to have been involved in the accident.
Henderson, a mother-of-two who was staying in a hostel on Verner Street in the city, had been arrested at that time on a separate bench warrant.
While she was being taken into custody police found keys for the Hyundai and a satellite navigation system registered to Mr Girvan's address, the court heard.
The vehicle was later recovered outside the hostel.
During police interviews Henderson allegedly admitted stabbing the pensioner, taking his car and also a gold chain she coerced others into pawning for her at a shop in Belfast.
Prosecution lawyers said Henderson claimed to have been with Mr Girvan when an argument led to him producing a sword and pointing it at her.
"She said she stabbed him with a knife used to cut cakes and then tied his hands and gagged him with kitchen roll to stop him shouting," the barrister said.
"She then stated that she injected herself with heroin at his house, stole his car and key, drove his vehicle which was involved in a collision on Donegall Quay and drove off back to her address where she was arrested."
As part of opposition to bail it was claimed that Henderson's drug addiction may lead to further offences.
A defence lawyer confirmed his client denies the murder charge.
"Based on the facts outlined this was certainly not a frenzied attack," he said.
"Ms Henderson describes being in fear, she describes being scared and she explains that her actions were in self-defence."
The court was told that the accused's continued addiction is linked to a family tragedy, but that she has been drug-free and achieved stability in her life since going into custody.
But denying bail, Mrs Justice Keegan cited the risks of re-offending and potential interference with the course of justice.

The 5,000-1 outsiders beat bigger rivals Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea to land their first top-flight title.
"It's probably the biggest sporting story ever and the biggest sporting achievement ever," Scudamore said.
"Nobody saw it coming and even when it was halfway through the season nobody said it could be sustained."

Scudamore, who negotiated next season's record £5.1bn television rights deal, added in an interview with BBC Sport that "Leicester 2016" would stand as a landmark moment in British sport.
"We don't know what the future holds because we've all become completely hopeless at predicting anything, including the bookmakers and everybody else - because this one nobody saw coming," he said.
"It's made mugs of all of us and that is just the most fantastic feeling.
"If the bookmakers had it as a 5,000-1 event, you would imagine you should achieve these type of things once every 5,000 years. It gives us 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years of being able to say: 'Leicester 2016. Just remember Leicester 2016.'"

The Foxes were crowned Premier League champions on Monday, when nearest rivals Tottenham drew 2-2 at Chelsea.
It marked the culmination of an incredible run for the East Midlands club, who were only spared relegation last season thanks to a brilliant sequence of results over their final nine games.
"Of course, you can't compare it with other stories," said Scudamore. "You can't compare it with all Sir Alex Ferguson's achievements, you can't compare it with the Sergio Aguero moment, you can't compare it with the Arsenal unbeaten season because they're different things.
"You're comparing apples with pears. But in terms of an overall story, as an overall achievement, it is absolutely the best."
Ferguson won the Premier League 13 times while managing Manchester United, Aguero scored a stoppage-time winner as Manchester City took the title in 2012 while Arsenal were unbeaten in the 2003-04 top-flight season.
"No matter what else happens we've got it to remember, we've got it in the record books," said Scudamore. "Let the statisticians prove that Leicester won the most points, they won the league, they were worthy champions and anybody else can do it."

Leicester's triumph will mean English football is an even more successful global product, says Sheffield Hallam football finance expert Rob Wilson.
The triumph against the odds is a "great advert" for England's top flight, said Wilson.
He added it "creates huge potential to leverage the Premier League even more".
Leicester are set to make £150m next season from prize money, Champions League participation cash, and increased match-day revenues from ticket and hospitality sales.
The Foxes have spent just £57m on their squad - compared with the £320m Manchester United have spent on player transfers in the past three seasons.
Wilson said the story of Leicester, owned by Thai billionaire businessman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, would increase the Premier League's popularity in South East Asia.
Scudamore added: "I think this will be very good for us around the world. When you look at other European leagues and who's likely to win those leagues, nothing like this really happens elsewhere. The Premier League is a great British export."

Manager Claudio Ranieri said the club would "continue to build" next season.
Speaking from Leicester's training ground, where the players were also gathered following a late-night celebration at striker Jamie Vardy's house, the Italian was asked if his side could win the league again next year.
"No. Next season we have to fight for 10th position," said the Italian. "We have to make sure we are safe then we look to something more.
"When I came here the objective was to create a solid foundation and build together," Ranieri told Sky Sports. "This season is out of our project but our foundations are very solid and we want to do our best.
"We don't want to sell anybody. If some player doesn't want to stay with us, I don't want unhappy people. We are looking to add to the team but with the same mentality. Who comes must know we are working hard."
Wilson told BBC Radio 5 live: "In August they had absolutely no superstars in that side. This summer is arguably more challenging as they try to hold on to some of those players and renew some of those contracts to maintain this next year."

Both Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted their congratulations.
Sir Peter Soulsby, the mayor of Leicester, said there had been suggestions to name streets after Ranieri and to build a statue in his honour, but added: "I don't know what it will be. I do know we've got quite a lot of partying ahead of us as a city to the end of the season. And then a big celebration.
"We've had media attention across the world already and now that we are champions, I think I'm expecting a little more."
Cleaners took to the streets of Leicester at 06:00 BST to sweep up after the revelry, after thousands of people spilled out on to the streets in celebration.
There was even a crowd of people celebrating outside Vardy's house.
The celebrations continued on Tuesday, with fans gathering to catch sight of the players as they were treated to a meal by the club's owner - who had earlier flown in by helicopter to congratulate them.
About 60 to 70 players and staff enjoyed a two-and-a-half-hour lunch at San Carlo pizzeria in the city centre.
On the way to the restaurant the team bus even stopped to pick up a Jamie Vardy lookalike, who was celebrating the title win outside the King Power Stadium.
Postal worker Lee Chapman, 29, told BBC Radio 5 live: "The bus pulled up and they were all banging on the windows and I got dragged on!
"Jamie Vardy said 'you're not as good looking as me'. It's absolutely bonkers."
Doctors from Wythenshawe Hospital described a rare case of what they called "bagpipe lung" in a 61-year-old patient, in the journal Thorax.
Bruce Campbell's daughter, Erin Tabinor said his family was not told his hobby had been connected to his death.
The trust which runs the hospital apologised for "any distress".
University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust (UHSM) has launched an internal investigation.
The report said Mr Campbell developed a bad reaction to mould and fungi lurking inside the moist interior of his bagpipes.
Ms Tabinor said while Mr Campbell was not named in the report, people soon made the connection.
"[Piping] was his passion, it was one of the loves of his life. There was my mother, me, my sister and piping," she said.
"I think it is a complete breach of his privacy. I think it is a breach of his confidentiality."
Doctors at Wythenshawe Hospital sent Mr Campbell's bagpipes to the laboratory, the report said, and the instrument was riddled with the types of mould and fungi that can cause lung problems.
However, Ms Tabinor said her family was not told this in 2014 when Mr Campbell died and was shocked his case was used in the journal without any consultation.
Her father had cleaned his bagpipes regularly, she said, adding: "He knew exactly what he had to do. He was an expert in this."
She added: "I want to find out exactly what has happened. I want to know how it was missed... why they didn't tell us, why they didn't bother to let us know about this, and I want a full investigation into his death."
Medical Director at UHSM Dr John Crampton, said: "We would like to apologise for any distress experienced by the family following the publication of the case study.
"In light of the serious concerns raised, the trust has launched an internal investigation, which is ongoing. We have also offered to meet with the family to listen to and discuss their concerns further."
Developers hope to site 11 turbines off the coast, with full offshore construction scheduled to start in late 2017 or early 2018.
The European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) is close to US presidential hopeful Mr Trump's golfing development at Menie.
Geotechnical site investigation will take place at each turbine location.
Vattenfall and Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG) - the partners behind Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm Limited (AOWFL) - said the work keeps the scheme on schedule.
Mr Trump's legal challenge to the offshore wind farm was rejected by the UK's Supreme Court in December.
The businessman was taking on the Scottish government, which approved the plan.
He said the turbines would spoil the view.
Mr Trump made a series of legal challenges in the Scottish courts and then took the fight to the UK's Supreme Court in London.
The two-day festival was the subject of cutbacks by Birmingham City Council in December, along with St Patrick's Day, Vaisakhi and the city's £189m library.
Birmingham Pride brands itself as the UK's biggest two-day lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) event.
The organisers said the council cuts had not affected the festival following an increase in prices and donations.
Director David Nash said the council had previously funded road closures, parking suspensions, the village green and carnival parade.
"In March, we decided to retain those aspects of the festival," he said. "Everything is the same as it was previously.
"It's just that there has been an increase in ticket prices and we have had to be more proactive to get donations from private organisations."
The council cuts will also apply to the 2016 festival.
Mr Nash said he expected about 50,000 people to attend the event, which he said welcomed everybody, regardless of sexuality.
Stars appearing on the main stage, located on Lower Essex Street, will include Jimmy Somerville, Jess Glynne, Atomic Kitten and Heather Small.
The parade, which began in Victoria Square, featured decorated floats, street performers and an open-top bus.
It finished at the main Pride festival site around Hurst Street.
Mr Nash said the event would run into the early hours.
The council said: "We are facing serious financial pressures. We support community events in terms of officer time but we are no longer giving money."
Jack and Paul Sykes, aged 12 and nine, died when their father Darren, 44, set fire to the property in Penistone on 22 October. Mr Sykes was also killed.
The report found there was "no information" to cause concern.
However, it said agencies had failed to "communicate comprehensively".
According to the report, carried out by Barnsley Safeguarding Children Board, the boys' parents split-up in early 2014. Social services became involved with the family in June.
It said over the following months the children told social workers they were scared of their father, with Paul describing him as "pure nasty".
It also said that during court proceedings their mother had given a statement saying Mr Sykes had told her "he can understand fathers killing their children".
The report said "The deliberate, devastating actions of [Mr Sykes] on 22 October 2014 could not have been predicted by anyone.
"Research suggests that such incidents are rare, that the vast majority of estranged father's would not consider such actions and that there is no known way of identifying those who will do so.
"Historically there was no information regarding the family to cause concerns.
"Neither [Mr Sykes'] known offending history nor his mental health history was sufficient to make agencies believe that he posed a significant threat to himself or others."
Jack and Paul's mother Claire Throssell, however, believes she was let down by the authorities.
She said: "They did not support us from July right up until October.
"When I think about the fact that one little boy had to try to rescue his brother and when his dying testament was 'My dad did this and he did it on purpose', what does that say about the organisations that were involved, that were supposed to be helping us as a family?"
The report said: "As with many serious case reviews, this review has found examples of agencies failing to communicate with each other as comprehensively as they should have done."
It said a number of recommendations had been made and "agencies involved in this review have learnt lessons and taken several actions in order to improve services".
At an inquest into the boys' deaths the coroner found they had been unlawfully killed by their father after he lured them to the house with a new train set.
Bob Dyson, the independent chair of Barnsley Safeguarding Children Board said: "This review follows the coroner's inquest that found the death of the children was an unlawful killing and there was no knowledge by a public authority of any identifiable risk of such an event taking place.
"He found that none of the agencies involved with the family had fundamentally failed in their duty to the family."
Kath Harmeston claims she was unfairly sacked in 2014 after reporting what she believed was criminal conduct and is seeking more than £5m in damages.
The Co-op says Ms Harmeston was sacked because her behaviour was not in keeping with her role.
The group announced a return to profit last April after a turbulent period.
Ms Harmeston, who now holds a senior position at the Ministry of Defence, claims she was unfairly sacked for blowing the whistle on what she believed to be the unlawful, corrupt or irregular use of members' money, and the commission of criminal offences.
The details of her allegations will become known over the course of the tribunal, which starts in Manchester on Thursday and is expected to last two weeks.
Senior Co-op bosses, including group chief executive Richard Pennycook and chief operating officer Pippa Wicks, are expected to give evidence.
Ms Harmeston was headhunted by the Co-op Group from the Royal Mail where she had managed a budget of £2bn between 2009 and 2014 and helped make savings of £650m.
This was partly achieved by procuring delivery bikes for postmen from China at £45 each, rather than paying £360 per bike in the UK.
Her cost-cutting skills were much needed at the Co-op after the problems with its banking division had resulted in a £2.5bn loss in 2013.
Co-op Group chairman Allan Leighton said: "We intend to fully and robustly defend our decision to dismiss Kath Harmeston at the upcoming tribunal.
"We dismissed her because she acted in a manner which was not in keeping with the importance and seniority of her role, nor the values and principles of the Co-op."
The tribunal comes after a turbulent period for the Co-op.
In May, 2014 the former boss of the Co-op Bank Paul Flowers pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine, crystal meth and ketamine, after he had been filmed handing over £300 for drugs in a car in Leeds.
He had stepped down from the Co-op six months earlier over concerns about expenses. He was also suspended from the Labour Party and his position as a Methodist minister.
In 2014, a review of the Co-op Group by former board member Lord Myners said the organisation should adopt a much smaller board and focus on being profitable in order to survive.
Lord Myners said the group's current board was "manifestly dysfunctional" and needed more members with business experience.
However, last April the Co-op Group which includes food, insurance and funeral care businesses, announced a return to profit and posted profits before tax of £124m in the year to January 2015, helped by a recovery in its grocery business and the sale of pharmacies and farmland.
The outcome of Ms Harmeston's case is likely to have a bearing on the rebuilding of the group's reputation.
The body of Mohammad Shahidullah, 65, was found by villagers in a pool of blood in a mango grove, police say.
His murder comes amid rising concern over the rise in violence against religious minorities.
A wide range of people have been attacked in recent years including secularists, bloggers and academics.
Among more than 20 people killed by Islamic militant groups are members of religious minorities, although this is believed to be the first attack on a Sufi Muslim.
Sufism is popular in rural Bangladesh but considered deviant because of its mysticism by many of the country's majority Sunni Muslims.
The cleric was a local leader with a small following. Police say they still do not know who killed him but it could be the work of Islamic extremists.
A liberal professor was killed in the same way in the same area last month.
In the most recent murders before Saturday, a Hindu tailor was killed in Tangail and a week before that leading gay rights activist Xulhaz Mannan and his friend were brutally murdered in the capital Dhaka.
So-called Islamic State have said they carried out many of the attacks, but the authorities deny the group is active in the country.
A Bangladeshi militant group affiliated to al-Qaeda, Ansar al-Islam, has also said it carried out some of the killings.
The government denies it has not done enough to stop the killings and has blamed all the attacks on opposition parties or local Islamist groups. It has been strongly criticised for not being able to prevent the violence or bring perpetrators to justice. Opposition parties deny the claims.
Bangladesh has myriad extremist groups and there have been few convictions.
All drivers in the county were ordered to attend the training after the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal inquiry found taxi drivers had played a "prominent role" in the abuse.
More than 300, about 97%, attended.
Denbighshire council will decide on Tuesday whether to take action against those who did not.
A report to the council said five current taxi drivers were not licensed at the time.
Of the six others, one was not able to attend as he had another day job, and another was out of the country.
Councillors' options include revoking or suspending their licences, considering their renewal applications or convening a special hearing.
The three-bedroom suburban property housed a menagerie including chickens, turkeys, ducks, parrots, fish, mice and rats.
It also contained dozens of cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets.
Four animals died in the kitchen of the property in Seafield Road and a person was treated for smoke inhalation.
Fire crews had to negotiate a large tortoise in the middle of the living room as they searched for occupants in the smoke-filled property.
Crews calmed six frightened dogs before leading dozens of animals to safety. Two soot-covered dogs and a ferret were even resuscitated by firefighters using oxygen masks
Tortoises and iguanas were given antibiotics and monitored by a specialist exotic pet vet to treat them for smoke inhalation, and the dogs were also treated by vets.
Jim Green, the animal rescue manager for Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service, said firefighters were met with a "dramatic" and "panicked" scene when they arrived shortly after 09:00 BST.
Mr Green said: "Walking through the door it was pretty normal, but the living accommodation had animals in cages.
"It wasn't a mess, it was a very tidy set-up. These people are pet lovers and they just collect a variety of different species."
A couple believed to live at the property with their children were said to be shocked.
"You can imagine that these animals are their lives," said Mr Green. "You can understand how people's emotions will be at the time. This family were very calm and understood that there was nothing really that they could do."
Mr Green praised the swift work of the firefighters, which he said saved dozens of lives.
He said: "Their quick action prevented the situation being a lot worse... they undoubtedly saved the lives of more than 100 animals."
The RSPCA attended the scene. The cause of the fire is unknown but the house had no smoke detectors, the fire service said.
Yusef Khalifa, 52, of Old Colwyn, Gwynedd, said he had drunk two bottles of wine, Llandudno magistrates heard.
He admitted being in charge of a "mechanically-propelled vehicle" when three times the drink-drive limit and having a folding knife.
He was banned from driving a vehicle for six months.
A six-month community order was also imposed, along with a fine and costs totalling £385.
At 01:00 GMT (07:00 local time), the Soyuz launcher was rolled out on its flat-bed transporter for the 2km train journey to the pad.
The train took almost two hours to reach the pad, known as Site No 1.
Mr Peake will be accompanied by American Tim Kopra and Russian Yuri Malenchenko on Tuesday's flight to the International Space Station (ISS).
It should take the astronauts about six hours to reach the orbiting outpost, where they will dock and join the crew of three already stationed there.
Astronauts' relatives, members of the back-up crew, space agency officials and journalists were among the visitors gathered to see the rocket rolled out of its hangar and lifted to the vertical position at the launch site where Yuri Gagarin became the first human to blast into space in 1961.
Among them were Tim Peake's parents, Angela and Nigel.
Angela Peake told BBC News it was "fantastic" to be at Baikonur for her son's launch, adding she was immensely proud of him.
Nigel Peake said: "[Tim] is raring to go now. He's trained, he's ready, he's happy. They're all together and just waiting for the big lift-off."
He added he was "a bit over-awed" at the "scale of the operation".

German-born Alexander Gerst, who was one of the other five European Space Agency (Esa) astronauts selected along with Mr Peake in 2009, told me: "I met Tim yesterday, he's in very good spirits, and he's looking forward to it."
Mr Gerst, who flew to the ISS in 2014, added: "It's going to be an amazing ride for him - I'm jealous! He really deserves his flight, but I told him: 'If you have another seat up there in the spaceship I'll come with you."
It was a bitterly cold morning here at Baikonur Cosmodrome, as a diesel locomotive was backed up to the door of the giant hangar-like facility known as Building 112, in readiness to haul the rocket along a railway track to its destination.
As the shutters lifted in the darkness, revealing the building's illuminated interior, there was excitement as the crowd glimpsed the red nozzles and polished metal of the Soyuz rocket's "business end". The locomotive sounded its whistle and sped past us, with the launcher and its transporter in tow.
We then decamped to a railway crossing, trudging across the hard-frozen ground to watch the last leg of this carefully choreographed performance as the launcher advanced down the final stretch of track to the launch site known informally as Gagarin's Start.
Once it arrived, the rocket was to be raised up and encased within the arms of its service structure.
The BBC has had unique behind-the-scenes access to Tim Peake's training and launch.
Follow his video diaries on Horizon - Tim Peake Special: How To Be An Astronaut and watch the launch live on Blast Off Live - A Stargazing Live Special at 10:30 GMT on Tuesday 15 December.
You can also see him arrive on the International Space Station, at 19:00 GMT the same evening, on BBC Two in Stargazing Live: Brit In Space.
Here to see the rocket arrive was David Willetts, the former UK science minister, who is regarded by many as the architect behind Tim Peake's mission to the ISS.
I asked him what it was like to see the plans come to fruition.
"It's incredibly exciting. It's been a long journey from those negotiations with the European Space Agency in 2012. That's when I changed the policy and we moved into participating in manned missions. The fact he's going to do some great science while he's up there has justified that decision.
The UK government had traditionally been opposed to financing activities associated with human spaceflight. So previous British spacefarers, such as Helen Sharman who flew to Mir in 1991, were required to seek alternative forms of funding.
Mr Peake was selected by ESA from a pool of 8,000 applicants in 2009 but, explained Mr Willetts, "he was on the training programme, but was not part of the manned flight programme".
He added: "Sadly he was very unlikely to get a flight up to the space station, because Britain was not participating in the ISS."
"The sheer excitement of having the first official British astronaut reminds people that we are a leading scientific power. We can do this type of thing, we can participate in space and we have a great space industry."
The mission's commander, Yuri Malenchenko, is one of the Russian Space Agency's (Roscosmos) most experienced cosmonauts. He has spent a total of 641 days in space, over five flights.
This will be the second flight for Timothy Kopra, who spent 60 days aboard the ISS in 2009. The US Army colonel was subsequently assigned to the final mission of space shuttle Discovery in 2011, but was replaced after being injured in a bike accident.
Bill Gersternmaier, Nasa's chief of ISS operations, told me: "We've called it the Tim And Tim mission… It's interesting to see people from other countries getting excited about their astronauts flying."
"It will be great to have six crew back on orbit, getting ready to keep doing the research on board the space station."
On the topic of the space station's longevity he said: "We're working until 2024 on the ISS, the Russians have indicated that [date], the Japanese are also in the process of approving it and so has ESA.
"We look at that as nine more years where we'll have lots of productive research. We're starting to see lots of interest from companies - not just aerospace companies - who want to do research in space."

Farah, 34, says his last race on the track in Britain will be the 3,000m at the Birmingham Grand Prix on 20 August.
But having qualified for the 5,000m Diamond League final, he is now set to end his track career in Switzerland.
He will focus on marathons after the World Championships in London, which run from 4-13 August.
Farah won European 5,000m and 10,000m gold at Zurich's Letzigrund Stadium in 2014.
"Now, he plans to bid the track farewell in the legendary arena," said organisers in a statement.
Farah won the 5,000m and 10,000m golds at both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics.
He will attempt a third successive 5,000m/10,000m double at the World Championships next month.
Zurich is not the final IAAF Diamond League event of the year, but is the conclusion of the men's 5,000m, with the event not included in the Brussels programme in September.

But it's not a worm, despite its name. It's actually a hungry caterpillar that is eating crops.
It's a big problem for farmers because it is eating maize and other crops, which people depend on for food.
What's making it worse, is that it is a new pest, so farmers and the government don't know how to get rid of it.

Lithium-air cells can store energy much more densely than today's lithium-ion batteries, making them particularly promising for electric cars.
The design, published in Science, uses a spongy graphene electrode and a new chemical reaction to drive the cell.
It loses much less energy and can be recharged many more times than previous attempts at lithium-air batteries.
The hope for lithium-air batteries is that they will take in regular air to fuel the chemical reaction that releases electricity: lithium ions move from the positive electrode to the negative one, where they are oxidised.
At present the engineers behind the new effort, at the University of Cambridge, have only made laboratory test units which operate in pure oxygen, rather than air.
In a first, however, the prototypes can operate when that oxygen is moist.
"What we really want is a [true] lithium-air battery - one that just takes in air, without having to remove CO2, nitrogen and water," Prof Clare Grey, the senior author on the study, told BBC News. "And now we have a system that at least tolerates a lot of water."
Despite the significant progress made by Prof Grey's team, they say a commercial lithium-air battery is at least 10 years away.
Their demonstration units, for example, are still rather sluggish.
"Our batteries take days to charge and discharge, when you want it to happen in minutes and seconds," Prof Grey explained.
But the design has major pluses.
It packs in energy at a density that is almost the theoretical limit for lithium-air batteries. That energy density is what will eventually send electric cars across countries, rather than cities, on a single charge.
It also charges at a voltage of 3.0 and discharges at 2.8 volts - an efficiency of 93% - meaning it loses surprisingly little energy as heat. This is close to the efficiency of current lithium-ion batteries, and a big improvement on previous lithium-air efforts.
And crucially, these test batteries can be charged and recharged more than 2,000 times, with little effect on their function.
"We've been able to cycle our cells for months, with very little evidence of side reactions," Prof Grey said.
Part of the reason for this success is the design of the cathode, which is made from a sponge-like arrangement of graphene. This so-called "wonder material" is built up from one-atom-thick sheets of carbon.
The holes in the porous cathode allow reaction products to build up, as the battery discharges, and then dissolve away again as it gets recharged.
Also critical is the chemical reaction itself. Prof Grey's team has used an additive, lithium iodide, to change the chemistry at the heart of the battery.
Instead of lithium peroxide (Li2O2), as in most other lithium-air designs, the discharging reaction produces lithium hydroxide (LiOH) at the cathode.
And that lithium hydroxide can be completely dissolved away again, when the battery is recharged and the lithium ions return to the anode.
"It's a very different chemistry; it gives a new way of thinking about it," said Prof Grey. "It's a way off being commercial, but it does provide some interesting new directions to study."
Dr Paul Shearing, a chemical engineer at University College London, said the Cambridge design was "an important step" towards taking lithium-air batteries out of the lab.
"It's very impressive work," he told the BBC.
"Lithium air batteries [have been] plagued with problems, particularly around poor cycle life. This potentially could address those problems."
If successful, Dr Shearing added, lithium-air batteries could make a huge difference because their energy density very nearly matches the energy-per-kg packed by petrol.
As Prof Grey put it: "It's the energy density that's going to make that car battery that gets [from London] to Edinburgh."

Alonso, 33, has yet to score a point on his return to McLaren, nor has the team scored points in the first four races.
And the Spaniard recently said "he was looking at other things", and thinking about "different priorities in life".
"It's frustrating - you're the best but driving ninth, 10th," said Piquet Jr.
"I'd understand if he wants to retire. I wouldn't discount him doing that for a year or two, then returning."
Alonso, who signed a three-year contract with the British team after leaving Ferrari, has managed a 12th and 11th placing so far this season - though both the driver and McLaren say they are confident there will be an improvement in the next race, the Spanish Grand Prix on 10 May.
However, there have been suggestions the relationship between Alonso and the team has already become strained.
The Spaniard blamed the steering for a crash in pre-season testing that left him in hospital for three days, and resulted in him missing the opening race in Australia. McLaren denied there was a problem.
"He was thinking moving back to McLaren would be very good, and the salary must have been part of the reason. For some reason they are not doing well," added Piquet Jr, now competing in Formula E, having raced with Alonso at Renault in 2008 and 2009.
"He's paid a lot of money to do what he does best and he wants to deliver. But when there are no means to do it you will have a very frustrated person."
Alonso returned for a second spell at McLaren after five years with Ferrari, where he failed to land a third Formula 1 drivers' title.
The Italian team finished fourth in the constructors' championship in 2014, but seem more competitive this season and sit second behind Mercedes.
"Fernando is the best driver out there," said Piquet Jr, son of Brazilian three-time F1 world champion Nelson Piquet.
Referring to Lewis Hamilton winning his first title with McLaren in 2008 after Alonso left for Renault, he added: "I think it gets a bit annoying when it's the second time he's changed a team, and the team he has left has done well.
"It's not his fault. It's the wrong time at the wrong place. That happens."
An investigation by Channel 4 claimed the UK Tories contracted Blue Telecoms to conduct marketing campaigns ahead of the vote on 8 June.
The Information Commissioners Officer confirmed it would be asking the Tories about the calls.
A Conservative spokesman said all the calls were compliant with the law.
Blue Telecoms has been contacted for a comment.
An undercover investigation by C4 News, broadcast on Thursday, claimed the workers may have been carrying out paid canvassing, banned under electoral law, as they promoted key Conservative messages to undecided voters in the weeks before the election.
The investigation claimed that calls were made to voters in key marginal seats, including Bridgend, Gower, Clwyd South and Wrexham.
At the start of the election campaign, the information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, contacted all parties to remind them of the law around direct marketing.
A Conservative party spokesman denied the allegations, saying: "Political parties of all colours pay for market research and direct marketing calls.
"All the scripts supplied by the party for these calls are compliant with data protection and information law".
A spokesman for the Information Commissioner's Office said it would take action against any party which had not "followed the law".
"We will be asking the Conservative Party about the marketing campaigns conducted from this call centre," he said.
Clarke, 28, ended a successful Australian Rules career in 2014 with Addison's Disease hindering his second spell with the Collingwood club.
He played Sigerson Cup for Queen's early in 2016 but has told his brother John that the condition means he will be unable to commit to the Down squad.
"The Addison's that he has just won't allow him," said John Clarke.
"He did feature for Queen's and he went pretty well but he won't be featuring for Down in the foreseeable future."
Addison's Disease is a disorder of the adrenal glands which can lead to flu-like symptoms, but it can be effectively controlled by treatment.
Clarke's continuing absence is a major loss for a Down side that look doomed to relegation in Division 1 after three opening defeats.
After their opening home hammering by Donegal, a narrow defeat at Monaghan hinted at improvement for Eamonn Burns' squad only for the Mournemen to suffer a chastening 0-22 to 0-6 thumping by Kerry at Pairc Esler on Sunday.
"Martin would love to be back but the time and and commitment that's required, I just don't think that he can fully commit to it," added John Clarke, who also previously played for Down.
"That's not to say that he will never play for Down again but at the minute, his priorities lie elsewhere."
Clarke also doesn't expect Benny Coulter to be available to the Down squad in 2016.
Eamonn Burns spoke optimistically in December that Coulter, 33, would rejoin the squad after not being part of previous manager Jim McCorry's panel last year.
"Benny was back doing a bit of gym work but at the minute, I can't see Benny playing for Down in 2016," added Clarke.
Both Coulter and Martin Clarke helped Down reach the 2010 All-Ireland Final where they were narrowly defeated by Cork.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has ordered lenders to work out who is affected, and how much they are owed.
The problem has arisen where mortgage arrears have been automatically included in regular monthly payments.
That has left some customers paying higher mortgage payments than they should have been.
As many as 750,000 consumers may have been affected overall, but not everyone will be entitled to compensation.
On average, those who are eligible for payments will receive redress "in the low hundreds" of pounds, the FCA said.
In 2014, a High Court judge in Northern Ireland criticised the Bank of Scotland for double-charging mortgage customers who were in arrears.
Master Ellison said the bank's behaviour had been "unconscionable".
The practice of recalculating mortgage payments to include any outstanding arrears is known as "automatic capitalisation".
In effect it means that some customers may have been paying twice for going into arrears: Once through higher monthly mortgage payments, and once through separate payments to clear the outstanding debt.
In the long run such customers would not necessarily have lost out, as they would have paid off their mortgages faster.
Six years ago the then Financial Services Authority (FSA) said automatic capitalisation should not be allowed when there was a negative impact on customers.
"Even if inadvertent, automatic capitalisation of arrears can lead to poor customer outcomes and firms need to put this right, and make sure the practice stops," said Jonathan Davidson, the FCA's director of supervision for retail and authorisations.
"Customers do not have to take any action at this stage, as firms will contact them directly. Firms should start identifying affected customers immediately and not wait until the finalised guidance is published."
The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said banks and building societies had always been transparent in their charging methods.
"Those lenders who used the arrears calculation methodology now identified as problematic did so in good faith, believing that they complied with the rules and were acting in customer interests," said Paul Smee, the CML's director general.
NHS data shows that 147,610 sleep diagnostic tests were carried out last year - compared with 69,919 in 2007-08.
The tests are designed to identify sleep apnoea, a condition that causes people to stop breathing during sleep.
One patient told the BBC the problem was so acute it had driven her to contemplate suicide.
"At one stage, my life was so awful because of how little sleep I was getting that I wanted to kill myself," Carole Bennett, from Leeds, said.
"When I got tested for sleep apnoea the doctors found that whilst I was asleep, I'd stop breathing 27 times in just one hour."
Josie Beatson, from Sheffield, said that before receiving treatment for her sleep apnoea, the condition had a terrible impact on her life.
She said: "It's embarrassing to be at work and have your colleagues wake you up because they can hear you snoring.
"The condition turned me into a recluse. I was so exhausted all the time that I didn't want to socialise, and because of my loud snoring I was too embarrassed to go and sleep at anyone else's house."
Sleep apnoea is the most common sleep disorder, according to the NHS. It is caused when the muscles and soft tissue in the throat relax, causing a blockage of the airways.
The lack of oxygen to the brain causes those with the condition to wake up or have regular interruptions to their sleep. Common symptoms include loud snoring or gasping and grunting whilst asleep.
Those with the condition usually manage it by wearing an oxygen mask at night, or other oral devices that keep the airways open. Many are encouraged to lose weight and in some cases people can undergo surgery to remove excess tissue in their passageways.
Analysing data collected by NHS England, the BBC has found the number of sleeping disorder tests has increased every year over the past decade.
NHS South Sefton in Liverpool had the highest rate of sleep diagnostic tests being commissioned last year.
Doctors attribute the rise in the number of sleep tests to a greater sense of public awareness about the wider health implications of not getting enough sleep.
"Sleep apnoea is a serious condition which can lead to other problems such as high blood pressure, which in turn can lead to strokes and heart attacks," said Dr Stephen Bianchi from Sheffield's Northern General Hospital.
It is estimated that about 1.5 million people in the UK suffer from the condition, although doctors warn many people will have never been formally diagnosed.
"We think about 2% of females, and 4% of males in the UK have significant sleep apnoea. However, we suspect that 80% of those with the condition are unaware they have it," Dr Bianchi added.
Consultants at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust have been pioneering new ways of treating a range of sleep disorders.
Patients with sleep apnoea are often tested for neurological sleep conditions such as insomnias and rapid eye movement (REM) disorders.
Iain Gordon, from Doncaster, has an REM behaviour disorder, which sees him physically act out his dreams when he's asleep.
"If I have a dream that I'm fighting crocodiles or jumping off a cliff, I will shout and kick out.
"But the reason why I've now sought help is because there have been instances recently where I've hit my wife whilst I've been asleep."
Dr Gary Dennis, from the Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, said sleep disorders could have "wide and unpredictable" outcomes.
One sleep disorder sufferer, Brian Thomas from Neath in south Wales, killed his wife during a violent nightmare and was told by a judge he "bore no responsibility".
"REM disorders are not inconsequential," said Dr Dennis.
"At one end of the spectrum I've had the spouses of my patients who have needed dental work because they've been hit by their bed partner. But then at the other end I've had patients who have managed to drive themselves to the petrol station while they've been asleep."
Clinicians like Dr Dennis believe people need to pay more attention to their own "sleep hygiene" including diet, lifestyle and cutting down on late-night phone and tablet use.
"These devices emit blue light and there is a clear association between using these devices late at night and then having poor amounts of sleep," he said.
"Put simply lots of people think sleep gets in the way of life, but I see it the other way round. You can get more out of life, by getting more sleep."

It made the formal offer to the UN as a step towards a global deal in Paris in December.
The EU has already promised to cut its emissions by a roughly similar proportion.
Tuesday was the deadline for wealthy nations to make their offers – but some, such as Canada, have failed to submit in time.
The announcement was made on Twitter with the words: "America is taking steps to #ActOnClimate, and the world is joining us" - accompanied by a picture of the President in China.
The US announcement said: "The target is fair and ambitious. The United States has already undertaken substantial policy action to reduce its emissions. Additional action to achieve the 2025 target represents a substantial acceleration of the current pace of greenhouse gas emission reductions.
"Achieving the 2025 target will require a further emission reduction of 9-11% beyond our 2020 target compared to the 2005 baseline and a substantial acceleration of the 2005-2020 annual pace of reduction, to 2.3-2.8 percent per year, or an approximate doubling."
Analysts examining the promises made by the first few nations to commit say they are not strong enough to hold global temperature rise to the internationally agreed maximum of 2C.
The early deadline was set for rich nation submissions because the UN is desperate for the Paris meeting to avoid a repeat of the shambolic gathering in Copenhagen in 2009 that failed in its aim of protecting the climate.
Todd Stern, the US chief climate negotiator, previously told BBC News that America’s contribution would be “quite ambitious”.
But he warned that the Paris process would not itself solve the climate problem. That, he argued, would need ongoing effort over decades.
The US has a climate action plan announced in 2013 with new restrictions on power plant emissions and tougher standards on vehicles.
But President Obama's policies are being strongly resisted by Republicans in Congress and the law courts, and other nations have been watching keenly to see if he would formally submit the offer to the UN.
The EU has offered to cut emissions 40% on 1990 levels by 2030 (the US offer is based on a 2005 baseline). Switzerland and Mexico also unveiled pledges.
China is expected to offer to peak emissions by 2030 at the latest, and to produce 20% of its energy from nuclear and renewables by the same date.
Dr Jeremy Woods, who runs Climate-KIC's Global Calculator project at Imperial College London, said: “The declarations are an important first step. However, since most experts agree that all of the intended pledges will not be enough to limit global warming to 2C, it’s vital that the international community has a clear view of the scale of the challenge ahead.
“Over the last decade, the EU’s emissions have shrunk, the US’s have remained more-or-less stable but China’s have risen dramatically from just over 10% of global emissions in 2000 to just under 30% in 2013. The world has been going in the opposite direction to that needed to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
"Unless major emitters (governments and businesses alike) can find ways and reasons to dramatically change course we will move into uncharted and dangerous waters very soon.”
Mr Stern said: “You can look at the US, the EU, China - you could say I wish they did a little more than that. It’s not perfect - but then nobody is.”

Despite a 3% fall in livestock theft last year in the UK, there was an 18% increase in Wales, according to insurance firm NFU Mutual.
They warn a crackdown on rural crime in north west England has seen criminals move into Wales.
One such crime prevention scheme is the Lancashire Livestock Initiative.
The scheme sees farmers, auctioneers and police share information on social media about rural crimes so everyone is aware of criminal activity.
Farmer Derrick Davies, from Llanddewi-Brefi in Ceredigion lost 135 of his sheep earlier this year after they were taken from the hillside around his farm.
He said: "They've just disappeared. We've looked for them thinking maybe they're on neighbours' land, but nobody's seen them.
"So we don't understand where they've gone."
The Farmers Union of Wales thinks sheep may be taken over the border to illegal slaughterhouses.
Highways England, responsible for England's major routes, analysed a 17-mile stretch between junction 8 of the M60 and junction 20 of the M62.
Its £202m smart motorway scheme includes the conversion of hard shoulders into extra lanes.
The Greater Manchester network is expected to be finished in autumn 2017.
Stephen Hill, programme manager for Highways England, said: "Running out of fuel is the easiest cause of breakdown to avoid.
"Simple planning can save drivers the hassle of coming to a halt on the motorway, causing disruption to hundreds of other drivers.
"We're asking all drivers to reduce the number of incidents within the roadworks section by checking their fuel when there is still an opportunity to top up, and checking their vehicle is roadworthy."
Electronic signs are also being used to warn drivers to check their fuel levels.
There have been more than 4,500 breakdowns on Manchester's smart motorway route since March 2015.
Twenty-four of those incidents involving drivers filling their vehicles with the wrong fuel.

The 32-year-old cyclist claimed Olympic time trial gold in the summer after becoming the first Briton to win the Tour de France.
He secured the BBC award from runner-up Jessica Ennis and Andy Murray in third after a public vote.
"To be ahead of Jess and Andy, it's probably my greatest sporting achievement," he said.
"The other stuff you can control, you can't control people voting for you."
Sports Personality of the Year: Bradley Wiggins
Young Sports Personality: Josef Craig
Helen Rollason Award: Martine Wright
Overseas Personality: Usain Bolt
Team of the Year: GB Olympic and Paralympic squads
Coach of the Year: Dave Brailsford
Unsung Hero: Sue and Jim Houghton
Lifetime Achievement: Lord Coe
Wiggins admitted he thought runner Mo Farah, a double Olympic gold medallist who finished fourth in the poll, might win when his own name was not among the first two read out.
More than 1.6 million phone votes were cast for the 12 shortlisted contenders.
The show, watched by a crowd of 16,000 at London's ExCeL Arena, marked a memorable sporting year where London hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Wiggins secured 30% of the vote, with Olympic heptathlon champion Ennis earning 22% and US Open tennis victor Murray, a fellow Games gold medallist, on 14%.
The BBC award winner, dressed in a navy velvet suit, said he had been a fan of the Sports Personality show since he was a child.
"Sports Personality is a bit of an institution in our house and always has been. To win this it's very difficult to put into words," he said after receiving the award from the Duchess of Cambridge.
"It's incredible, and I'm very proud. It's something I certainly wanted to win."
Team Sky rider Wiggins said he would have voted for Paralympic wheelchair racer David Weir and was "starstruck" when he met him.

"The 12 nominees all achieved things in their own right. It was probably the most nerve-wracking thing of the year for me," said the first English winner since Zara Phillips in 2006.
"I was inspired as a 12-year-old watching [Olympic gold medallist and Tour stage winner] Chris Boardman and hopefully this year will have done the same for others."
Wiggins, who was born in Belgium, grew up in London and is now based in Lancashire, said he would let his grandmother have the trophy before putting it behind the bar at his local pub - the Farmers Arms in Eccleston.
He won his fourth career title, and a British record seventh medal, at the Olympics and London 2012 chief Lord Coe - himself the recipient of a lifetime achievement award - hailed sport's "rock star".
"He's more than just a fantastic ambassador. He's edgy and got that slightly risky feel to him," said Coe.
At the after-show party, Wiggins joined the house band on stage as he played guitar to songs by The Jam and Oasis.
He won the coveted award in a year where seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong was stripped of his titles for doping.
"How could it have been better? 2012 was the year of Super Saturday, of the Miracle at Medinah, of a Weirwolf on the prowl and the fastest moving set of sideburns since Elvis Presley"
Dave Brailsford, named top coach for his work with Team Sky and Great Britain, said: "It's important that we can demonstrate you can win the biggest races clean and that is what Bradley is doing.
"He's a fantastic athlete who works extremely hard.
"What he did was quite remarkable. The series of wins he had this year was better than any other cyclist. If you add in the element of personality, then he certainly has that."
Aside from the Tour, where he wore the leader's yellow jersey for more than half the gruelling 3,500 kilometre route, Wiggins also triumphed at Paris-Nice, the Tour of Romandie and Criterium du Dauphine.
Olympic heptathlon champion Ennis, who was third in the 2009 and 2010 awards, praised the winner.
"Bradley was the favourite and it's incredible what he's achieved winning the Tour de France. You would never have thought a British man would do that," she said.
"To then go on and win Olympic gold medal in London, it's very well deserved.
"I'm biased and would love to have seen Mo in the top three but everyone deserved to be up there. It was a really tough decision."
When Wiggins arrived for the 59th year of the awards, he joked when a security guard blocked his path: "But I'm a nominee."
Not just a nominee, but a winner, albeit one who is not completely at home in the limelight.
While other contenders stopped, posed and chatted, he breezed past photographers and reporters on the red carpet.
"I find all the attention a bit hard. I'm nervous. It's an honour to be here, and I don't think I'll be up for the award again," he said.
Wiggins was the fourth cyclist, and the third in the last five years, to win the award after Tommy Simpson (1965), Sir Chris Hoy (2008) and Mark Cavendish (2011).
Cavendish worked selflessly to help Wiggins win the Tour and said he hopes his friend and team-mate, who was ninth in the 2008 awards, will cherish the BBC prize.
"It's not something you can work towards. It's bestowed on you," said Cavendish.
"The public have given it to you and that has to be respected."
The main award was one of eight given on the night, with the honours dominated by the stars of London 2012.
Great Britain's Olympic and Paralympic squads were named joint team of the year, sprinter Usain Bolt claimed the Overseas Personality honour, while Paralympic swimmer Josef Craig took the Young Personality prize.
Martine Wright, who played sitting volleyball at the 2012 Paralympics seven years after surviving the London bombings, won the Helen Rollason Award in memory of the former BBC presenter.
Sue and Jim Houghton were given the Unsung Hero Award after setting up a community sports centre in Leicestershire.
Below are the results of the phone voting for the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year main award:

The interruption to service is being caused by ongoing industrial action by trade unions.
Nipsa, Unite and GMB members voted last month for a work-to-rule and withdrawal of on-call services and overtime.
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy met the unions on Wednesday.
He said any resolution would have to be within the Northern Ireland Executive's current pay and pensions policy.
NI Water chief executive Sara Venning said on Friday it was unfortunate that industrial action saw customers being denied an "essential public service".
She said she felt the proposals in the latest offer presented to the unions "could be acceptable".
She appealed that while the proposals were being considered that there would not be an impact on customers and that some measures "are put in place to protect the public drinking water".
"We are working round the clock from an operational perspective to minimise the impact on customers," she said. "We have been talking to the unions almost daily.
"We are working late into the night to try and find a proposal and a common ground that would enable the unions to withdraw and to suspend this action."
In a statement on Friday, NI Water said that since the meeting on Wednesday "intensive negotiations" had been ongoing and it had made a third formal offer to unions "which includes movement on pension issues as well as the potential for a two-year pay settlement".
It said that while this offer was being considered the company had sought a re-instatement of the Christmas arrangement to protect public health and critical customers, but this was declined.
"The result of this is that customers across Northern Ireland now face the prospect of supply interruptions on a scale greater than those which affected Fermanagh and Tyrone during the week," it said.
"The company has sought to end this dispute by putting forward a number of proposals, but the key demand from unions that pension reform be deferred is not something that NI Water management have in their power to deliver."
The company said that over the weekend, the major incident regime which has been in place since before Christmas would continue.
"This regime has allowed us to largely maintain services across the province. The extent of our infrastructure is such, however, that if the emergency cover which has been withdrawn is not re-instated, our customers will suffer," it said.
"Unfortunately the extent and exact location is something which we cannot predict in advance."
NI Water said that where customers are off supply for more than 24 hours, it will seek to provide alternative water supplies.
"Our ability to provide these alternative supplies will also be impacted by the industrial action being taken," it added.

Dr Arackal Manu Nair, who appeared on television show Embarrassing Bodies, resigned after the General Medical Council put restrictions on his work.
Lawyers for the patients allege one man Mr Manu Nair operated on did not have cancer, while another was left incontinent and infertile.
The trust apologised for the distress.
A 63-year-old man who was diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent surgery to remove it was later told he did not need the operation, said medical negligence solicitor Adam Wright.
He represents another patient who said he was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer and told he faced a "life or death situation".
The man, who did not wish to be named, said he paid ??12,000 to receive the treatment privately to avoid NHS waiting times.
He said he underwent a laser treatment by Mr Manu Nair in 2012 that left him infertile and incontinent.
He said: "My whole way of life has changed and being told that I can no longer have children is just soul-destroying."
He said another urologist has since told him he was "misled to some extent that this was aggressive cancer".
Heart of England, which runs Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham, shared concerns with private hospitals, Spire Parkway in Solihull and BMI The Priory in Birmingham.
The hospital bosses asked the Royal College of Surgeons to independently review Mr Manu Nair's surgical practices and he was suspended.
It is understood the General Medical Council banned Mr Manu Nair from private practice and stated any NHS work must be supervised.
He was also told he must not carry out procedures to remove the prostate or Green Light Laser treatment to reduce its size.

Some 170 men who had their prostate removed have been recalled after the surgeon was investigated, the Heart of England NHS Trust has said.

Highlands Fashion Week will officially launch its Bring Back The Cape (BBTC) project on its website on 4 December.
Describing it as an "exclusive" and "secret" project, the organisers have said that they hope to revamp the clothing that is usually worn with a kilt and "make it current".
For hundreds of people across the world, the cape as worn by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictional sleuth, continues to have great appeal.
How the popular image of Sherlock Holmes' look came about is a curious case.
The illustrated monthly magazine, The Strand, printed many of Conan Doyle's mysteries in the 1890s, with the author's words accompanied by engravings by talented Finchley-based artist Sidney Paget.
According to The Sherlock Holmes Society of London, it was Paget who gave the detective his "now iconic image" - the "hawk-like features, deerstalker cap and Inverness cape".
Paget produced 201 Sherlock Holmes's illustrations between 1891 and 1893 and a further 155 between 1901 and 1904.
But Paget had been sent the commission for the artwork by mistake.
Pinacotheca Holmesiana, a website dedicated to Sherlock stories and illustrations, said the job was meant for his younger brother Walter.
Walter still managed to put his stamp on the sleuth. He modelled for his brother's illustrations for the magazine.
Decades later, in television adaptations of the stories, the cape and cap continued to be a key part of Sherlock's wardrobe.
More recent TV portrayals, such as BBC's Sherlock and CBS series Elementary, have since restyled the detective.
In Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch's character wears a Belstaff Milford Coat - a heavy, wool tweed overcoat first made in the 1920s and inspired by the late 19th Century great coat.
Yet the image of Holmes in an Inverness cape of more than 120 years ago endures.
Mister Antony (Inverness Cape Specialists) in Newton Mearns, near Glasgow, makes Inverness raincapes in various waterproof fabrics for pipe bands all over the world.
About 90% of the business's work is concerned with manufacturing this garment for pipers and drummers.
In 2003, the firm developed a new waterproof cape called the Bandspec Raincape. The company worked with Robert Mathieson, at the time pipe major with Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band, on the new design.
Mister Antony is also one of the few business that makes and supplies traditional wool and Harris Tweed Inverness capes to "professional, discerning" customers.
The patterns on offer include stony blue fleck, grey herringbone and brown and tan houndstooth.
Antony Mistofsky, who has run the firm for 32 years and whose family has been making waterproof clothing for more than 100 years, said the custom-made items represented "a specialised, niche market".
He said: "It would be fair to say that they are not a big selling item.
"We sell hundreds and not thousands of them. They can cost upwards from £600 depending on what the customer wants."
Mr Mistofsky added: "We export them all over the world. Sixty to 70% of the woollen capes are exported, mainly to the USA.
"The customers who want these items are mainly professional individuals - lawyers and doctors, a High Court judge - and they buy either to wear with a kilt or as an alternative to a heavy overcoat."
A few of those buying the woollen capes also have a keen interest in Sherlock Holmes, he said.
Other Inverness Cape enthusiasts include fans of steampunk, a genre that mixes Victorian-style clothing with science-fiction technology and draws inspiration from writers such as HG Wells. Various online retailers offer the capes in colours suited to steampunk aficionados.
Highlands Fashion Week's BBTC project, meanwhile, is timely.
Last month, Museum of London opened the exhibition Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die.
It features displays of Conan Doyle manuscripts, copies of The Strand and some of the 27 surviving original drawings Paget did for the magazine stories.
The museum also commissioned a new tweed of a design and colour inspired by the trademark deerstalker and cape.
Alex Werner, head of history collections at the museum, said: "Sherlock Holmes is a global icon indelibly linked with London, so it is fitting that we are able to host this major celebration of Conan Doyle's creation at the Museum of London.
"This exhibition is really about gaining a deeper appreciation of the stories and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see such a diverse collection of Sherlock Holmes artefacts and material under one roof."
The museum exhibition runs until April next year, while Highlands Fashion Week takes place in Inverness next month.

His "burning platform" memo - which was posted for all of the Finnish firm's employees to read - outlined the serious challenges that the business faces.
They include mistakes that have left it "years behind" rivals such as Apple and Google, while facing stiff competition from Chinese rivals at the same time.
But insiders have told BBC News that Mr Elop's biggest challenge is something different: the battle to open up Nokia's fiercely insular culture.
The business, which is headquartered just outside Helsinki, has been run almost exclusively by Finnish executives since it started as a paper-milling company in 1865.
Many of these senior managers have been with the company for their entire career, and despite its global presence and large international workforce, some deliberately keep foreign counterparts at arms' length.
In private conversations, staff regularly talk about Nokia's overtly masculine culture, and describe a world where important deals are usually brokered during visits to the sauna.
While the sauna is a way of life for Finnish people, it has almost become a religion for Nokia's high-ranking managers.
Indeed it is seen as so integral to the company's operation that many of its offices around the world, which span from Afghanistan to Zambia, have had saunas specially fitted in order to accommodate their addiction.
That culture is part of what Mr Elop, an American who was brought in last September as the company's first non-Finnish chief executive, is hoping shake up.
He is also trying to speed up Nokia's approach to developing new products, an area where it has been accused of being unresponsive - despite pumping $3.9bn (£2.5bn) into research projects last year alone.
"Our employer is in the biggest trouble now, and we have not succeeded in bringing out new ideas," one member of staff told BBC News.
Many insiders admit that these structural problems were apparent several years ago, but that the cracks were papered over by the explosive and seemingly unstoppable growth of the mobile phone industry in general.
However, Mr Elop has suggested that the company's shortcomings were brutally exposed when Apple launched the iPhone in 2007 and ushered in an era of touchscreen technology.
"The first iPhone shipped in 2007, and we still don't have a product that is close to their experience," he said in the memo.
"Android came on the scene just over two years ago, and this week they took our leadership position in smartphone volumes."
But while outsiders agree that Nokia needs to broaden its view of the world, many Finns reject the idea that Nokia is in trouble.
To them, it is an indestructible company that has become vitally important to the nation. It dominates the country's finances and is responsible - directly and indirectly - for a huge number of jobs in a country with a population of just 5 million people.

For those who cannot imagine life without Nokia, the issues it faces today - characterised in Mr Elop's memo as "unbelievable" - are merely a blip.
Tomi Ahonen, a former Nokia executive who is now a consultant and author, says that critics ignore the fact that the company has a greater share of the worldwide phone business than anyone else.
"If you lead the market and are twice as big as your nearest rival, that is something any market leader would desperately wish for," he says. "Ask Toyota or Coca-Cola or Airbus."
Though he admits that Nokia has been slow to make progress in some areas, he is a bullish supporter of the company, and believes that the competition from American technology brands will be short-lived.
Why? Because US businesses - driven by the voracious nature of the stock market - are often focused on short-term domination and quick results.
"The culture is radically different, and this may explain why Nokia is seen to be struggling so much more than it actually is struggling," he says.
Whether you believe that Nokia's problems are severe or merely a passing phase, they are certainly not unique.
Other major technology companies have faced similar problems in adapting to sudden changes, most notably Japanese electronics giant Sony.
It also grew massively and led its industry for years, before hitting a series of stumbling blocks.
Faced with an inability to keep up with smaller, faster rivals and a business culture that was based heavily around its Tokyo roots, the company eventually decided in 2005 that it needed to go outside Japan for its next boss.
It ended up appointing Sir Howard Stringer, a respected executive who grew up in Wales and made his name at American TV network CBS.
Since taking over the leadership of the company in 2005, Sir Howard has worked to carefully merge two very different styles of business.
"In a sense," he has said, "It's easier for me as an outsider to execute, provided I find a way to enlist the support of the employees."
Five years after Sony made the decision to break with its tradition, Mr Elop finds himself in a similar position - a Canadian who spent most of his career in senior roles at American software companies, now running a business where he doesn't even speak the language of its home country.
The desire to shake things up may be why he is said to be considering moving the company's "centre of gravity" to the US. But one former Nokia manager said that the same idea has been put forward before - only to be met with disdain.
It remains to be seen whether Mr Elop's stewardship can convince them to change their minds and stem the company's long-term slide, but Mr Ahonen believes that long-term crisis is avoidable.
"For all who doubt Nokia, be warned," he says.
"It is facing enormous changes, yes, but it is navigating those changes far better than most of its rivals.
"The new chief executive has his challenges, but these are not insurmountable problems since the fundamentals of the business are sound."

Mr Morales, who campaigned against corruption, has taken about 24% of the 97% votes so far counted.
Centre-right businessman Manuel Baldizon and ex-first lady Sandra Torres are tied with about 19.5%.
Sunday's vote came days after the resignation of President Otto Perez Molina over corruption allegations.
With no candidate taking 50% of the vote, a second round of voting has been scheduled for 25 October.
The race for a place in the run-off is close, with Ms Torres - the ex-wife of former president Alvaro Colom - ahead of Mr Baldizon by fewer than 1,000 votes.
Electoral officials said about 70% turned out to vote on Sunday. A recount is under way for several hundred ballots before a final result will be announced, they added.
As well as a new president, Guatemalans were voting for a vice-president, a new congress and local authorities.
Many had called for the polls to be postponed in the wake of the allegations.
"The people are tired of more of the same," Mr Morales, 46, told reporters after hearing of his lead.
"Guatemala wants change and to not be governed by people with dark pasts," he said, after voting near Guatemala City.
Mr Baldizon was previously a favourite to win before Mr Morales saw a late surge of support in opinion polls off the back of the unfolding corruption scandal. Several of Mr Baldizon's allies had been linked to the scandal.
Ex-President Otto Perez Molina denies involvement in a scheme in which businessmen paid bribes to evade customs charges.
There had been calls for Guatemalans to wear black clothes of mourning as they cast their vote, amid scepticism that the poll could achieve political change.
But voters queued from the early hours to cast their ballots. Some 7.5 million people were eligible to vote.
A judge will decide on Tuesday whether to indict former President Molina.

Two diplomats were killed and a third wounded in a shooting at a restaurant in Cebu City on Wednesday.
Police have taken a woman who works at the consulate and her husband into custody.
They have diplomatic immunity and will be sent back to China.
The suspected shooter was identified by police as Li Qing Liang. Mr Li's wife, Guo Jing, who works in the consulate's visa section, was also held for questioning.
Beijing has invoked the couple's diplomatic immunity under the United Nations' Vienna Convention, foreign ministry spokesman Charles Jose said.
The 1961 Vienna Convention spells out protections afforded to diplomats and embassy staff, including immunity from local laws and criminal prosecution.
China says it is investigating the shooting.
The deputy consul and the finance officer for the Chinese consulate in the city were killed and the consul general wounded, police said.
The consul general, Song Ronghua, who was celebrating his birthday at the restaurant, is in a stable condition after being shot through the neck.
"We're still trying to determine the motive for the shooting," said Chief Superintendent Prudencio Banas.
The consul general's deputy Sun Shen was shot in the neck and finance officer Li Hui was shot in the head, police said.
A handgun has been recovered from the scene, police spokesman Wilben Mayor told AFP.
The attack occurred at 13:30 (05:30 GMT) at Lighthouse, a popular restaurant.
Restaurant manager Stephen John Patero said the shooting occurred in a private room, which is a favourite among local politicians.
He said waiters who served the diners heard the guests shouting at each other before the shots were fired.
"They are all friends who apparently figured in an argument," he said.

The eccentric Sheldon, played by Jim Parsons, has been at the centre of America's most popular comedy show since it started in 2007.
Earlier this week, CBS confirmed that The Big Bang Theory's new spin-off, Young Sheldon, will be a prequel focusing on the character's early years.
But will it work? Some spin-off shows have been hugely successful - but there have also been quite a few flops.
Here's a round-up of some of the best and worst:
Cheers and Frasier
Frasier is one of television's most successful spin-offs.
It lasted for 11 seasons and notched up 264 episodes - just behind its predecessor Cheers, which managed 270.
The Kelsey Grammer sitcom continued the story of radio psychiatrist Frasier Crane. Digital Spy's TV editor Morgan Jeffery thinks the change in tone contributed to its success.
"Frasier had a different style and sense of humour to Cheers," he says. "A spin-off needs to look and feel different. A lot of bad spin-offs are just watered down versions of the original."
The change certainly worked wonders for Frasier - the sitcom broke an Emmy Awards record, winning 37 over the course of its run (although the record was later beaten by the pesky Game of Thrones).
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
While Breaking Bad centred on characters played by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, corrupt lawyer Saul Goodman (played by Bob Odenkirk) developed something of a cult following.
Better Call Saul, which began in 2015, was created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, the brains behind Breaking Bad.
The Times's TV critic Andrew Billen thinks focusing on a less prominent character can often make a spin-off more likely to succeed.
"Most shows are not Marvel Comic universes, they're built around one or two heroes," he says. "But if you take a minor character, there's more chance of succeeding. Then you're into something much nearer to a Hollywood franchise."
Jeffery agrees: "Angel is a good example of a character who maybe wasn't getting the screen time when he was on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, so he was given a show where there was more space to explore that character."
Happy Days and its seven spin-offs
Happy Days certainly knows a thing or two about spin-offs - it had seven. Seven!
The most successful were Mork & Mindy, which starred Robin Williams; and Laverne & Shirley, which was fronted by Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams.
The latter, which first aired in 1976, focused on two single room-mates (who had been friends of Fonzie's in the main show) who work as bottlecappers in a Milwaukee brewery.
It ran side-by-side with Happy Days, and by its third season had become the most popular TV show in the US.
The show was cancelled in 1983, but it still managed an impressive eight seasons.
Friends and Joey
As one of the most successful sitcoms in television history, Friends was ripe for spin-off when it ended in 2004.
Only Matt LeBlanc stuck with the character that made him famous, and Joey was launched that September.
But it didn't go down well with fans, and viewing figures were low. It was cancelled after two seasons, with the final eight episodes not even making it to air.
"Matt LeBlanc was fantastic in [Friends] but he was playing a caricature," Billen says. "I'm not sure there was enough complexity to Joey as a character, he was more of a clown, and it's difficult to build a show around that premise."
Jeffery adds: "I don't feel there was a clear creative vision behind Joey, they just wanted to keep the Friends train going for a few more years."
The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its three spin-offs
When it comes to spin-offs, Billen describes The Mary Tyler Moore Show as "the mother of them all".
He explains: "It was so successful, the best friend Rhoda, played by Valerie Harper, got a spin-off. And the neighbour and landlady Phyllis also span off, but the really significant one was Lou Grant.
"In the original show, Mary Tyler Moore's character worked in a TV station in the newsroom, and the news editor [Grant] then span off into a drama series. It ran many seasons, and was a post-Watergate view of investigative journalism."
Including the original, that totals an impressive four shows in the Tyler Moore universe.
Only Fools and Horses and Green Green Grass
Ask a British sitcom fan what their favourite shows of all time are, and it's likely Only Fools and Horses will figure highly on their list.
It's slightly less likely they'd choose The Green Green Grass, the Fools spin-off that began in 2005 and focused on Boycie and his wife Marlene
It managed 32 episodes but was cancelled in 2009 after continuing negative reviews from critics.
The world of CSI
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation began in September 2002 and was hugely popular with audiences.
So popular, in fact, that it sparked CSI: Miami, CSI: NY and the more recent (and less successful) CSI: Cyber.
Jeffery says the CSIs "work on a business level because you're giving people more of what they enjoyed before".
CSI: Skegness surely only a matter of time.
The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon?
Jeffrey thinks it could be just the right time for The Big Bang Theory to get the spin-off treatment.
"I believe it's close to being renewed again but it doesn't feel like it's got too much life left in it," he says. "It's probably got a couple more seasons before the cast try and shoehorn themselves out of the show."
The Guardian's Stuart Heritage put it slightly more bluntly, writing that the announcement of Young Sheldon means "The Big Bang Theory has officially started its death spiral".
Big Bang may well be ripe for a spin-off, but its makers will have to tread carefully.
"There's absolutely no guarantee a spin-off will work better than any brand new comedy or a brand new programme," cautions Billen.
"It will give you ratings for the first couple of episodes, and after that it sinks or swims on its own merit."

Police said searches were carried out in the Botanic Avenue area on Friday evening.
During the operation the gun and ammunition were seized.
Police added that no arrests had been made and investigations were continuing.
Chuck Berry had many hits, but this one, to the chagrin of some of his fans but apparently not Berry himself, was his only number one single in the United States and UK.
Rolling Stone once listed it as one of 22 "terrible songs by great artists".
The ditty, replete with double entendre, was recorded in the UK in 1972. Berry was performing in Coventry as part of the Lanchester Arts Festival.
Playing at the Locarno Ballroom, the rock and roll legend cajoled the audience to sing the song's chorus. The women sang "my" and the men sang the "ding-a-ling" refrain.
"I want you to play with my", the women continued, "ding-a-ling", the men finished. It was juvenile stuff, but Berry was clearly delighted. He apparently was unaware that the show, which was followed by a Pink Floyd gig, was being recorded.
The song was released as a single at about four minutes in length, and later appeared on the album The London Chuck Berry Sessions at a whopping 11 minutes.
Tributes paid to legendary Chuck Berry
Seven of the best songs
While it may make diehard fans cringe, Berry considered it to be as good as any of his other songs. It fit with his performing philosophy of giving "people what they want", he told Rolling Stone in a 2010 interview.
"I'm searching for who is attentive out there in the audience. I can look around and be singing My Ding-A-Ling and stop and sing 'The Lord's Prayer' because some people will be sitting out there looking like they're from church," he told the magazine.
And the financial rewards from the number one hit pleased a man with a notorious attitude to money. "Made a lot of money: a $200,000 cheque. I'll never forget that cheque. And it's all dirt. Nice, cleeean dirt!" Rolling Stone quoted him as saying.
But the song, despite cloaking its sexual references in metaphor, caused consternation in some quarters.
In 1973, the conservative activist and campaigner Mary Whitehouse wrote to the BBC director general to complain after a performance of the song on Top of the Pops.
A teacher had written to her National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, she said, complaining that she had found a class of young boys "with their trousers undone, singing the song and giving it the indecent interpretation which - in spite of all the hullaballoo - is so obvious".
The BBC's then-director general Charles Curran replied that he believed that "the innuendo is, at worst, on the level of seaside postcards or music hall humour".
Clearly the public agreed. The single reached number one in Britain, too.
Strong was named best actor at the Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for playing tragic hero Eddie Carbone in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge.
The play, originally staged at London's Young Vic, also gained a best director award for Ivo Van Hove.
Helen McCrory won best actress for her title role in Greek tragedy Medea at the National Theatre.
Strong- whose film roles include Zero Dark Thirty and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - said he had chanced upon Miller's classic drama when looking through film scripts at home.
"I picked it up and it was head and shoulders above everything else I was reading. I thought maybe this is the time to go back and do a play. Nothing had really come along that I wanted to do until this."
Strong is now starting rehearsals ahead of the play's transfer from the Young Vic to Wyndham's Theatre in the heart of London's theatre district.
"I love the fact that we are taking this little play from the Young Vic and going up against the big boys in the West End," he said.
Other winners at the Critics' Circle awards included Sir Anthony Sher, who received best Shakespearean performance for his role in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of the epic Henry IV Parts I & II.
"Falstaff is one of Shakespeare's most astonishing creations," Sir Anthony said. "I had no plans to play it - it came completely left-field. I really needed a lot of convincing."
King Charles III by Mike Bartlett, which imagines a future monarchy and is written in Shakespeare-style blank verse, was crowned best new play.
Gypsy, which starred Imelda Staunton at Chichester Festival Theatre and is transferring to London's Savoy Theatre in 2015, won the award for best musical.
The Critics' Circle Theatre Awards were held at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London, on Tuesday.
Fenner, who had been commentating on gymnastics for the BBC since 1979 - and every Olympic Games since 1984 - had been seriously ill with cancer.
He acted as a consultant to the Dutch gymnastics squad from 2010 and took over as head coach two years later.
Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport, said: "He will be missed by all of us at BBC Sport and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time."
Technical director of the Dutch Gymnastic Union Hans Gootjes said: "It is a black day for gymnastics in the Netherlands, Great Britain and beyond."
Fenner helped the Dutch team qualify for Rio 2016 in April, the first time the full men's team had qualified for the Olympics.
But it was as a commentator that he was best known to gymnastics fans in Britain.
"For many years Mitch has used his first-hand experience of working within the sport to provide our viewers with an expertise and detailed insight that was second to none," Slater added.
Staff at Luas are taking industrial action in an ongoing row over pay and conditions.
A further two days of strike action are planned for 26 and 27 May as well as further days in June.
Tram operator Transdev is believed to be willing to resume talks with SIPTU if the drivers indicate that there is a solid basis for doing so.
The company's managing director Gerry Madden has said he believes it is the final opportunity to resolve the dispute before more serious, unspecified, consequences for both sides.
Meanwhile, Luas drivers have amended the times of their additional strikes, scheduled for June, in order to avoid potential disruption to students doing the junior and leaving certificate examinations.
They have formally notified Transdev that the strikes on 8, 9 and 10 June - the first three days of the state examination timetable - will take place between 16:00 and 22:00 local time.
Four-hour stoppages are also planned for 2, 3 and 7 June.
Siptu has accused Transdev of locking its members out of talks in the ongoing dispute.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Siptu's divisional organiser Owen Reidy said drivers wanted to resolve the dispute but required a "fair and sustainable" deal with management to do so.
He said that the company had refused to agree to talks for the last 19 days and also would not engage in talks that involved a third party negotiator.
Ms Stevens, elected to Parliament in 2015, was previously part of the shadow justice team.
The Wales brief had been held by Llanelli MP Nia Griffith, one of several leading figures who resigned from the shadow cabinet in June.
Ms Griffith has been appointed shadow defence secretary.
Mr Corbyn has promised to unite his party following his re-election as leader last month.
Ms Stevens said she was "delighted" to have the job "at a hugely important time for my country".
"I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the role working closely with Jeremy and Carwyn [First Minister Carwyn Jones] to ensure Labour continues to be the party that best represents the interests of all people across Wales," she said.
She added: "As always, my constituents in Cardiff Central are and continue to be my top priority.
"It's a privilege to represent them and I intend to approach the Welsh shadow cabinet role with the same commitment and dedication."
In July, Ms Stevens backed Owen Smith's challenge to Mr Corbyn's leadership, saying the Pontypridd MP was the "best candidate" to unite the party and win the next general election.
Between Worlds, an English National Opera (ENO) production at the Barbican in London, "tears at the heart", wrote the Daily Telegraph's Ivan Hewett.
The opera, wrote Michael Church in The Independent, "reflects crazy courage" and "comes across with awesome power".
The Guardian, though, said it was not "as affecting as it ought to be".
Nor is there any "real sense", wrote Andrew Clements, of the "sheer chaotic terror" of the events of 11 September 2001 dramatised by composer Tansy Davies and librettist Nick Drake.
The Arts Desk also found fault with Deborah Warner's production, saying it is "peppered with problems" that include a "lack of clarity" and "monochrome pace".
"As a meditative lament on this human tragedy, Between Worlds succeeds," wrote Jessica Duchen.
"But as a metaphysical drama of the day itself, there is more to question, and much to clarify."
Between Worlds, the second ENO production to be co-commissioned by the Barbican after 2013's Sunken Garden, runs until 25 April.
It is the first opera to be written by Davies, a previous winner of the BBC's Young Composers' Competition who has written works for the LSO, the City of London Sinfonia and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Children from Downpatrick Primary School and St Brigid's Primary School visited Castle Ward on Monday for the launch of a new education programme, Minecraft at Castle Ward.
The cross-curricular project uses the game to encourage children to explore the National Trust-owned property.
Most schools participating in the pilot were supported by Shared Education.
Shared Education supports children in separate schools engaging in joint classes or projects.
The project is the result of a collaboration between the National Trust and iTeach, a Belfast-based education programming development company.
Minecraft is a computer game in which you build things using cubic blocks.
It is a bit like Lego but you never run out of blocks and they never fall over.
Players can walk among their own creations, and play online with other people who are in the same world.
This is the first programme of its kind to feature to a National Trust property and the trust hopes to develop the programme across more of its sites.
National Trust co-ordinator, Geoff Magill, said: "The 18th Century Corn Mill at Castle Ward is being brought to life on Minecraft as schools combine the latest technology with the outdoors.
"They will learn about the history of the Corn Mill, the engineering aspects and traditional milling processes in an interactive tour which will culminate in pupils actually constructing the building in Minecraft.
"We are also pleased to announce that the programme will be available in conjunction with the Shared Education initiative which enable schools from diverse communities to come together and share the experience.
"The programme is currently in its pilot stage and will be available to schools from September," he added.
Suffolk Police said the victim, in her late 20s, was attacked in Ipswich by two men sometime between 03:00 and 03:45 GMT on Saturday.
She was walking along Rope Walk and crossing Grimwade Street when she was grabbed from behind by the men who forced her into a nearby car park.
She suffered neck and face injuries.
Trained specialist officers and police staff have been working with the victim whilst extensive inquiries are ongoing in the local area.
Det Supt Eamonn Bridger said, "This is a despicable, sustained sexual attack by two unknown individuals on an innocent young woman, who has been left traumatised and with significant injuries as a result of the actions of the men involved".
The force is appealing for witnesses, including anyone with dash cam footage who was driving in the area at the time of the offence.
The Edinburgh Gateway interchange, situated between South Gyle and Dalmeny, will serve passengers from Fife and the north of the city.
The station will link the capital's northern train line to the tram network and Edinburgh Airport and offer local travellers services to Perth, Dundee and Inverness.
A combined train and tram ticket will also be available to passengers.
The station lies next to the Gogar roundabout on the A8 and will also have a link to the Gyle shopping centre.
The work is part of the Edinburgh-Glasgow Improvement Programme which will see the electrification of lines across central Scotland.
Phil Verster, managing director of the ScotRail Alliance, said: "Edinburgh Gateway interchange will be a hugely convenient transport hub for a vast array of customers, bringing new journey opportunities and better connections for people travelling into and around the capital."
It is hoped the station will also be a catalyst for future economic investment and activity.
The 26-year-old requires surgery on an adductor muscle injury sustained in the first few minutes of Saturday's 3-1 Bundesliga win over Hamburg.
He will be sidelined for the whole of the Champions League group stage - with Leverkusen playing Tottenham at home on 18 October and away on 2 November.
French club Monaco and Russia's CSKA Moscow are the other teams in Group E.
The event, at the Somme Museum near Newtownards, is open to the public and began at 19:00 BST on Thursday.
Similar vigils will be taking place in Cardiff, Edinburgh and London.
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are to attend a service at the grave of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey. The vigil at the Somme Museum will be held outdoors.
A guard of honour is to be present throughout the night and will include serving soldiers.
It will end with a service on Friday morning which will include the blowing of whistles at 07:28 BST - the exact time when the advance was signalled to begin one of the bloodiest battles in human history.
Nearby, a lone piper played a lament on Helen's Tower on the Clandeboye estate near Bangor on Thursday night.
Soldiers from the 36th Ulster Division trained on land around the tower before heading to battlefields of France
About 2,500 people will congregate on Friday at the Ulster Tower in Thiepval, a quiet corner of northern France.
With just hours left until the commemoration marking 100 years since the Battle of the Somme, final preparations are in full swing.
Scores of soldiers march to and from the tower and the Royal Irish Regiment band tunes up for a rehearsal.
The world's media ready themselves to capture the sights and sounds of the anniversary event.

iWonder: Irish soldiers at the Somme
Thousands of soldiers from across Ireland were killed at the Somme, 2,000 of them from the 36th Ulster Division died on the first day of the battle.
The Ulstermen who gave their lives in the World War One will also be commemorated in France, at the Ulster Memorial Tower, close to the village of Thiepval, which is a copy of Helen's Tower.
The tower, which stands 70ft (21m) in height, was built in 1921.
It was the first official memorial to be erected on the Western Front, according to the Somme Association charity, which has responsibility for maintaining the monument.
Families of soldiers who were killed in the battle have also started arriving in France ahead of the Somme centenary commemoration in Thiepval on Friday.
Brian Hewitt from Banbridge , County Down, has made the journey to pay tribute to his great, great uncle William James Allen, who fought with the 9th Battalion, the Royal Irish Fusiliers.
Pte Allen was originally from Portadown, County Armagh, but was living in America when he enlisted in the British Army.
He was killed in action on the opening day of the Somme.
Mr Hewitt plans to place a cross on the Thiepval Memorial in his honour, during the centenary commemorations.
"My father was to do it five years ago but died beforehand, before he could get over, so I'm going to fulfil a family ambition," he said.
The Foys from County Cavan flew into Paris last night.
Lucas Foy said he wanted to see the graves of the men who farmed the land close to him in County Cavan, before they lost their lives on the front line.
He said: "They (the men) didn't know what they were going to. They thought they'd be home in no time."
Thousands of homes and businesses in the region were damaged when Storm Eva battered the north of England during December's floods.
Organisers said it was an opportunity for the whole community to have a proper party.
The event features six snow machines and Christmas trees.
There will also be a Christmas lunch for volunteers who helped when the floods hit, with an unseasonal visit from Santa and a festive-themed market with live entertainment, including brass bands and choirs.
Organisers said: "It is our way of saying thank you to all the volunteers who helped on Boxing Day, and in the weeks that followed."
About 500 people are expected to attend a Christmas lunch event at Riverside School in Hebden Bridge.
During the December floods, a bus was swept down the street and sandbags were ripped up due to the force of the water running through the town.
Everton hope to conclude a deal for Schneiderlin, 27, but United are yet to receive an acceptable bid for the midfielder, according to Mourinho.
"I will allow both of them to leave - if the right offer comes. Until this moment, no," said Mourinho.
"We don't have any offer that is close to the quality of the players we have."
The Red Devils host Reading in the FA Cup third round on Saturday and Mourinho said that "in normal conditions" the two players would have been named in his squad.
"But they aren't because we are waiting for something that a couple of weeks ago looked like 100% and at the moment looks like 0%," he added.
West Brom have had an offer of £15m for Schneiderlin rejected, while Everton boss Ronald Koeman reportedly hopes to sign the France international in time for their Premier League match with Manchester City on 15 January.
BBC Sport understands more than five clubs retain an interest in the former Southampton midfielder and suggestions Everton have arranged a medical for the player are inaccurate.
Everton are also interested in former PSV Eindhoven winger Depay, 22, as are a number of clubs across Europe.
Newport council is considering the plan ahead of a new shopping centre opening.
Councillor Matthew Evans said the committee also backed a ban on drinking alcohol in public but decided that leafleting should not be stopped.
The final decision now lies with the cabinet member for regulatory functions, Councillor Bob Poole.
Human rights organisation Liberty previously said a ban on begging and rough sleeping would "criminalise the most vulnerable in the city" and that the proposals "make a mockery of Newport's Chartist legacy".
However, Mr Evans said he and the other committee members backed the recommendation for the ban after 90% of people who responded to a public consultation were in favour.
"We want to make sure the message is sent out that the majority of people don't want to be approached by beggars or to see people rough sleeping," he said.
"This will make it easier for police to deal with the problem.
"We want to ensure the public and businesses are protected because they're the ones affected by anti-social behaviour."
Councillor Roger Jeavons, chairman of the committee, said they had listened to evidence from the police.
"We have looked at pages and pages of reports from police regarding, in particular, aggressive begging - that was the biggest issue," he said.
"People are feeling very intimidated by these sort of people who are sitting outside ATMs and car park paying machines."
The council wants to introduce a new Public Spaces Protection Order to tackle anti-social behaviour ahead of the opening of the new Friar's Walk shopping centre next month.
It consulted with members of the public about what they would like to see included, such as a ban on begging, rough sleeping, dogs who are not on leads and leafleting in the city centre.
Mr Evans added that the scrutiny committee did not back a recommendation to ban leafleting in the city centre because members did not want to damage small businesses.
The circular wooden houses, built on stilts, form part of a settlement at Must Farm quarry, in Cambridgeshire, and date to about 1000-800 BC.
A fire destroyed the posts, causing the houses to fall into a river where silt helped preserve the contents.
Pots with meals still inside have been found at the site.
Live updates about the dig and more stories from Cambridgeshire
An earlier test trench at the site, near Whittlesey, revealed small cups, bowls and jars.
In addition, archaeologists said "exotic" glass beads that formed part of a necklace "hinted at a sophistication not usually associated with the Bronze Age".
Textiles made from plant fibres such as lime tree bark have also been unearthed.
What did Bronze Age Britons eat and other things the site tells us
However, the roundhouses themselves are now being excavated.
Archaeologists think they have found about five houses but are not yet certain.
BBC History - Bronze Age Britain
BBC Bitesize - What was Bronze Age life like?
The work to uncover the settlement is necessary because there are concerns the water level at the site could fall some time in the future, meaning the remains of the houses cannot be preserved in situ.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, which is jointly funding the excavation with land owner Forterra, described the settlement and contents as "an extraordinary time capsule".
He added: "A dramatic fire 3,000 years ago, combined with subsequent waterlogged preservation, has left to us a frozen moment in time, which gives us a graphic picture of life in the Bronze Age.
"This site is of international significance and its excavation really will transform our understanding of the period."
David Gibson, from Cambridge Archaeological Unit, which is leading the excavation, said: "So much has been preserved, we can actually see everyday life during the Bronze Age in the round.
"It's prehistoric archaeology in 3D, with an unsurpassed finds assemblage both in terms of range and quantity."
Well-preserved charred roof timbers of one of the roundhouses are clearly visible, together with timbers showing tool marks and a perimeter of wooden posts known as a palisade, which once enclosed the site.
While a number of Bronze Age settlements have been found in the UK, Mr Gibson said none had been as well-preserved as the Must Farm site.
"Most don't have any timber remaining, just post-holes and marks where posts would have been," he said.
"So far this is unique as we have the roof structure as well."
He said there were some well-preserved similar dwellings at Loch Tay in Perthshire, but these were about 500 years later than those in Cambridgeshire, dating from the early Iron Age.
Archaeologists digging two metres (6ft) below the modern surface at the quarry also found preserved footprints, believed to be from people who once lived there.
Once all the retrieved items have been cleaned and documented they are expected to be put on public display.
The Denmark international goalkeeper had one year to run on the deal he signed when joining on a free transfer from Manchester United in August 2015.
His only Albion game came in a League Cup defeat at Norwich last September.
The 32-year-old, who is now a free agent, joined Championship outfit Preston North End for the second half of last season, playing 14 times.

French artist Philippe Parreno's new work - Anywhen - is the latest large-scale commission in the museum's Turbine Hall.
He describes the work as an ever-changing experience "that plays with time and space".
A shoal of helium-filled fish float about the cavernous space to a surreal soundtrack from overhead speakers.
Some of the sounds are piped in live from microphones outside Tate Modern - which raises the prospect of a busker on the South Bank being heard inside the hall.
Visitors are invited to lie flat on the carpeted floor and watch as horizontal and vertical panels fall and rise over their heads.
Meanwhile, a giant moving video screen shows a film that features underwater creatures and an appearance from stage ventriloquist Nina Conti.
What makes the whole experience even more unusual is that the sequence of lights, sounds and moving elements are controlled by a colony of micro-organisms in a "bio reactor" in the far corner of the Turbine Hall.
Unveiling his commission on Monday, Parreno said the aquatic theme had been the first idea that had come to him.
"The fish can point your attention to different parts of the architecture," he explained.
Parreno likened his artwork to a walk in a park, where the public enter from many different levels and directions and encounter things that appear and disappear over time.
Anywhen, which runs until 2 April 2017, is the first commission to respond to the Turbine Hall's new position at the centre of the museum following the opening of the new Tate Modern extension earlier this year.
It is the latest in a long line of Turbine Hall commissions that include Ai Weiwei's porcelain sunflower seeds, Doris Salcedo's crack in the floor and Olafur Eliasson's giant yellow artificial sun.

On a day when Branden Grace became the first man in history to card a 62 at a major championship, Spieth strengthened his overnight grip on the championship with a bogey-free 65 to move to 11 under par as his big-name rivals struggled to stay in touch.
Canadian debutant Austin Connelly, 20, sits in a tie for third with US Open champion Brooks Koepka at five under, while Grace and Japan's world number two Hideki Matsuyama, who shot a fine 66, are a shot further back.
But it was a disappointing afternoon for home favourites Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter, McIlroy's chances effectively over after a messy 69 left him two under, nine shots off Spieth and tied for 11th with his Ryder Cup team-mate.
Texan Spieth, 23, blew a five-shot lead going into back nine at The Masters 15 months ago, but with this links course in far less punitive mood than the Augusta National he is odds-on to add the oldest major to his Masters and US Open titles from 2015.
Kuchar, 39, has never finished in the top five at an Open and has only one top-10 finish in 12 previous attempts, and he will rue the three putts on the 16th green that cost him critical momentum this time around.

This was a relentless Spieth rather than spectacular, his birdie on the 18th green giving him a lead that so few will expect him to relinquish.
After a cautious opening, his 15-foot putt for birdie on the seventh re-established the two-shot lead he had held over playing partner Kuchar overnight.
But Kuchar closed in, birdieing the 14th and 15th, only for Spieth to drop a seven-foot putt for a birdie of his own on the latter hole to take back the lead 30 seconds later at 10 under.
When Kuchar three-putted the 16th his deficit was three, and while the elder man birdied 17 to stay in touch, Spieth's nerveless 15-foot putt on the last stretched that lead back out.
Grace had earlier made history on a day of baking temperatures and minimal wind, the links stripped of its usual defences.
In an extraordinary few hours he made birdies on the first, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth, 14th, 16th and 17th holes, which left him requiring just a par on the par-four 18th to set the record.
His tee-shot found light rough and his second flew 45 feet beyond the pin, but a marvellous putt to within three feet set up the finish to rewrite the record books.

McIlroy, champion down the coast at Hoylake three years ago, charged out of the blocks, easing in a five-foot birdie on the first, flighting and rolling in a 30-foot chip from short of the green on the fourth and driving the green on the 346-yard par-four fifth before leaving his eagle putt just shy.
The subsequent birdie left him four under and within touching distance of Spieth, only for the inconsistencies that have dogged his game over the past year resurfacing once again.
A hooked tee-shot cost him a bogey on the par-three seventh, and worse was to follow as he bogeyed the eighth and then dropped two more shots on the 10th, going from tee to bunker to bunker to rough.
He had chances to salvage shots down the stretch but little would drop for him, and his three-year wait for his next major goes on.
Poulter, looking to become the first man since Paul Lawrie 18 years ago to come through qualifying and win the claret jug, mixed three birdies with three bogeys in his first 11 holes.
He then missed a six-footer for par on the 12th and dropped another shot on the 13th, the energy going out of him as his hopes slipped away.

Connelly has never before played an Open but showed a precocious talent as he raced round the links in 66, picking up birdies on his last two holes to secure his place in the penultimate pairing come Sunday afternoon.
Koepka dropped a shot on the first but then birdied three, four and five before a birdie and bogey on the back nine left him five under.
World number one Dustin Johnson looked as if he might match Grace when he stood on the 16th tee six under par, and while three successive pars ended that dream, his 64 still left him three under and in a tie for seventh.
Last year's champion Stenson fired an equally impressive 65 to sit alongside Johnson.
Afghan officials confirmed he had left Kabul for Turkey on Friday night.
General Dostum has not been charged with any offence, and the incident is under government investigation.
His spokesman said he had travelled abroad for a medical check-up and would return shortly.
"General Dostum never leaves the country but remains alongside his people during difficult times," the spokesman said.
The vice-president is a former warlord with decades of experience in Afghanistan's turbulent political arena.
He is blamed for some of the worst atrocities in the country's long-running civil war, but joined its national unity government in 2014.
The allegations against him come from Ahmad Eshchi, a former ally, who says he suffered days of severe beatings and sexual abuse at Gen Dostum's command.
He said the vice-president and 10 other men assaulted him while he was forcibly kept at Gen Dostum's residence in November 2016.
The ex-warlord denies the claims and has said that Mr Eshchi was detained by the country's intelligence service.
Afghanistan's Western allies have called for a prompt investigation, but the government has so far failed to question the vice-president.
The delay prompted speculation that he might be forced into exile in Turkey instead.
In 2008 Gen Dostum went to Turkey amid similar allegations that his personal militia had abducted, beaten and sexually assaulted a political rival in Kabul, then fired on police who responded to the incident.
Northern Ireland striker Lafferty has scored three goals in two League Cup games, including a double in his full home debut at Tynecastle on Saturday.
And MacPhee reckons that is the start of something special.
"This is not always an easy place to play but he has the personality to take on the responsibility," he said.
Lafferty joined the Jambos in the summer after leaving Norwich, with the striker having been at Rangers from 2008-12.
The 29-year-old scored last week against Elgin City and took his League Cup tally to three goals with his double against East Fife on Saturday.
And MacPhee reckons Lafferty is set to have a major impact for the Gorgie men this term.
"It was a good win and it was great to see Kyle score a couple on his Tynecastle debut," he added.
"Kyle backs his own horse. He's not afraid to miss a chance and then go back for another one. People might suggest Kyle hasn't scored many goals in recent years - but teams haven't played him. Norwich didn't play him.
"Northern Ireland have played him and he has scored goals, and I believe that will be the case here at Hearts too.
"He will be a massive player for us this season and it's great he's got a few early goals."
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced an unprecedented corporate tax cut, in the government's first full budget.
But he also proposed major benefits for the poor, introducing a universal social security scheme.
India will grow at a rate of more than 8% during 2015-16, a key economic report said ahead of the budget.
The growth forecast follows the country's new way of calculating GDP which has caused some confusion.
Presenting the budget in parliament Mr Jaitley said the country was growing at a strong rate, inflation was down and foreign exchange reserves were high.
"We inherited a sentiment of doom and gloom. The investment community had almost written us off. We have come a long way since then," he said.
"We have turned around the economy, dramatically restoring macroeconomic stability and creating the conditions for sustainable poverty elimination, job creation, durable double digit economic growth."
Among the major announcements made by Mr Jaitley are:
Radhika Rao, an economist with DBS in Singapore told Reuters news agency that Saturday's budget was "pragmatic, wide-ranging and inclusive given the emphasis on social safety nets".
Analysts say the government's challenge will be to balance its spending with the need for fiscal restraint.
Mr Jaitley said the government would achieve its goal of cutting the fiscal deficit to 4.1% of gross domestic product (GDP) for 2014-15 from 4.5% the year before.
Some had billed this budget as being the most significant since 1991 - which effectively liberalised India's economy.
But Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's closing lines were basically admitting this was a budget lacking "Big Bang" reforms.
The devil will be in the detail as we plough through the small print.
A firm start date for a much-needed goods and services tax, billions of dollars for infrastructure and a "no surprises" lower corporate tax, strike me as the big business announcements.
Not using the low oil price as a chance to make more sweeping cuts to the vast subsidy bill could well prove to be a missed opportunity.
But if the proposals for a universal social security system ever reach fruition - offering a safety net for the hundreds of millions of India's poorest - history will surely judge that as the stand-out announcement of this much-hyped budget.
The 27-year-old Englishman spent a season on loan at Fir Park from Rotherham United before signing a permanent contract last summer.
Now he has agreed a new one-year deal to stay in Ian Baraclough's squad.
"Well have managed to beat off stiff competition from SPFL Premiership and English clubs," said the club website.
Ainsworth scored in both legs of Motherwell's Premiership Play-off final victory over Rangers to take his tally to 22 in his two seasons at Fir Park.
He told the club website: "Last season was disappointing in many ways, albeit we finished strongly against Rangers in the play-offs.
"I think there is a real desire in me and the guys who are still at the club to ensure next season is much better."
Ainsworth, whose previous clubs include Derby County, Watford and Huddersfield Town, said he is relishing the use of two wingers - himself and Marvin Johnson - since the arrival of Baraclough as manager.
"Obviously the way the team plays now, with pace all across the front area, really suits me, with Marvin on one side and me on the other," he added.
Gloucestershire Police said it happened at about 05:25 GMT on the southbound carriageway, just north of junction 13.
The 21-year-old driver of a BMW was killed, a spokesman said. The driver of the articulated lorry was unharmed.
A police spokesman said the southbound carriageway of the motorway remained closed between junctions 12 and 13 until after 13:00 GMT.
Long queues of traffic were reported on surrounding roads as drivers followed diversions.
The coroner and the victim's next of kin have been informed, but formal identification of the man who was killed has not yet been carried out, police said.
It comes after seven medical experts suggested unpublished data showed therapy could improve the 11-month-old's brain condition.
Previously, the High Court said it was unlikely a US doctor offering to treat Charlie would be able to cure him.
GOSH said it would "explore" the data.
Charlie's case will be heard by Mr Justice Francis on Monday at 14:00 BST, according to a High Court listing.
A hospital spokesman said: "Two international hospitals and their researchers have communicated to us as late as the last 24 hours that they have fresh evidence about their proposed experimental treatment.
"We believe, in common with Charlie's parents, it is right to explore this evidence.
"Great Ormond Street Hospital is giving the High Court the opportunity to objectively assess the claims of fresh evidence.
"It will be for the High Court to make its judgment on the facts.
"Our view has not changed. We believe it is right to seek the High Court's view in light of the claimed new evidence.
"Our priority has always been, and will always be, the best interests of Charlie Gard."
Under a High Court ruling, GOSH is forbidden from allowing Charlie to be transferred for nucleoside therapy anywhere.
Seven clinicians and researchers, including the US doctor, signed a letter explaining that the treatment would be experimental for Charlie's particular condition.
They claim that "ideally" the treatment would first be tested on mice but state that, in Charlie's case, there is not time for such a trial.
Charlie has mitochondrial depletion syndrome, a rare genetic condition which affects the cells responsible for energy production and respiration and has left him unable to move or breathe without a ventilator.
Doctors at GOSH have said he cannot see, hear, move, cry or swallow and that his life support should be switched off because there is no chance of his condition improving.
Charlie's parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, raised £1.3m on a crowdfunding site to pay for experimental nucleoside therapy in the US.
But they lost a legal battle with the hospital last month when judges at the European Court of Human Rights ruled further treatment would "continue to cause Charlie significant harm".
Signatories to the new letter include a neurologist and a research fellow from Rome Children's Hospital, a scientist from Cambridge University's Mitochondrial Biology Unit and two researchers from Vall d'Hebron Institut de Recerca in Barcelona.
"In light of this new information, reconsideration of treatment for Charlie Gard is respectfully advocated," the group said.
Users around the world said e-mails were missing from their inbox and other folders within their Hotmail accounts.
A spokeswoman for Microsoft said that the issue of missing e-mails was not a widespread problem.
By Sunday evening the issue was "fully resolved", she said. The company apologised for any inconvenience.
The symbol was originally used in the 1970s and 80s, an era which brought record-breaking success under Graham Taylor.
The club also secured promotion in 1980-81, finishing behind Southend United, with Colin Murphy in charge.
The new logo will appear on shirts from next season.
The club's nickname comes from a pair of imps which were said to have terrorised Lincoln Cathedral in the 14th Century.
General manager John Vickers said: "The return of a traditional imp to the shirts has a bit more of an identity with the club, and with the city as a whole."
"It has been a topic of discussion amongst supporters for some time," he added.
He added: "It is a new start for the club, and a chance for a new generation of supporters to embrace an element of our history."
The first known record of the club being referred to as The Imps was in the Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury, from an edition dated 2 February 1912.
The current branding, which has been in use since 2001, will continue to be used by the club's sport and education trust.
EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager said she is looking into trade union allegations that the restaurant chain avoided paying more than €1bn (£658m; $1.1bn) in corporate taxes between 2009 and 2013.
Unions claim McDonald's diverted nearly €4bn of revenues into a Luxembourg subsidiary staffed by 13 people.
McDonald's has rejected the claims.
Ms Vestager said her office is "looking into the information gained by trade unions when it comes to McDonald's in order to assess if there is a case.''
The coalition of European and US unions claims that the company reduced its tax burden by moving its British headquarters to Switzerland and then channelling money into a Luxembourg-based subsidiary that also had a Swiss branch.
The unions said the Luxembourg offshoot had revenues of €3.7bn over the five-year period but reported paying €16m in taxes.
McDonald's maintains that it has complied fully with EU tax law.
The EU has been cracking down on what it sees as aggressive tax avoidance by multinational companies, last year opening investigations into Apple in Ireland, Starbucks in the Netherlands, and Amazon in Luxembourg.
Karl Kraus, 37, died following the crash which happened at about 12:00 BST on Sunday on the A487 at Penparc, Cardigan.
He leaves his wife Suzi Kraus, sons Ollie and Liam and step children Chloe and Kai.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the crash involved a black Yamaha motorcycle and a silver VW Golf and appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
Thomas de Maiziere has stopped short of proposing a complete ban. It is widely accepted that to totally ban the burka would violate Germany's constitution, which fiercely upholds the right to religious freedom.
Nevertheless, the minister said he and his fellow conservatives completely opposed the burka or, for that matter, any other full face veil.
"It doesn't fit into our open society," said Mr de Maiziere.
"Showing your face is fundamental for communication, for the cohesion of our society."
Germany interior minister calls for burka curbs
How attacks are forcing Germany to examine civil freedoms
Why do some people find the burkini offensive?
In reality, it is uncommon to see women wearing the full face veil in Germany.
Friday's announcement was really all about politics.
Two issues will dominate next year's general election in Germany; how to integrate more than a million asylum seekers, and how to tackle the threat posed by Islamist terrorism.
Both issues are already the subject of sensitive public debate and Angela Merkel's conservatives are losing votes to the right wing anti-Islam party Alternative fuer Deutschland.
The party is expected to take seats in parliament for the first time next year and it's polling at 19% of the vote in Mecklenburg Vorpommen and 14% in Berlin.
Both regions will hold state elections in September. It was no accident that the interior ministers of both states accompanied Mr de Maiziere as he made his announcement on Friday.
This is an unashamed attempt to lure back voters.
What's the difference between a hijab, a niqab and a burka?
The Islamic veil across Europe
The proposal is not yet draft legislation. If it gets that far, it is likely to encounter significant resistance in the German parliament.
But Germany feels ill at ease.
It is a country unsettled by the arrival of hundred of thousands of refugees and on edge after a recent spate of violent attacks - two of which were perpetrated by asylum seekers who are thought to have been inspired by IS.
Friday's announcement is a powerful indication of just how deeply this country is changing.
These tougher apprenticeships were unveiled by Prime Minister David Cameron on a visit to BMW's Mini car plant in Oxford.
They will be offered by 60 firms from next year and will run in parallel with existing apprenticeships.
Mr Cameron promised the "best apprenticeships in the world".
The new apprenticeships are designed to raise the quality of the schemes and make them more straightforward for employers.
They are being brought in as a response to the Richard Review last year which called for the status and quality of apprenticeships to be much more clearly defined.
Apprentices completing their training will be graded as either pass, merit or distinction, giving a clearer impression of their level of achievement, rather than a simple pass or fail.
The new apprenticeships will be based on "rigorous independent assessment", with at least two thirds of the assessment taking place at the end of the training.
Training will have to last at least one year and must include at least 20% time away from where the apprentice is working.
There are also plans for apprentices to have English and maths at a level equivalent to a good GCSE.
The new system, beginning from the end of 2014, will be shaped around the needs of employers in specific sectors.
These will be aerospace, automotive, digital industries, electro-technical, energy, financial services, food and drink, and life and industrial sciences.
Among the firms supporting the plans are Airbus, Rolls Royce, BMW, Ford, Toyota, Microsoft, British Gas, Barclays, Unilever and GSK.
"The reforms we're announcing today will put employers in the driving seat and ensure that we deliver rigorous training that supports you and our economy for years to come," said Mr Cameron.
"I think apprenticeships can be a big part not just of tackling unemployment but also in making sure our recovery is for all.
"We've seen 1.5 million people start apprenticeships under this government, I want to make sure the apprenticeships are good quality so we are announcing new rules today to make sure that happens."
But Labour's shadow skills minister, Liam Byrne, said the proposals "don't go far enough".
"The number of apprenticeship starts is falling at a time when youth unemployment stands at nearly a million. According to the government's own research, one in five apprentices report receiving neither on- or off-the-job training as part of their apprenticeship, and 29% of apprentices receive less pay than they are legally entitled to," said Mr Byrne.
The national chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, John Allan, said: "These schemes should be recognised as vital introductions to careers that can take an individual all the way to the top in the business.
"We hope the reforms announced today will strengthen and protect the image of apprenticeships which, over the years, has been damaged by constant change."
The reforms were welcomed by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development as a step towards making such vocational training becoming "as equally an attractive prospect to young people and their parents as a university education".
Adam Marshall, policy director at the British Chambers of Commerce said: "Empowering employers to set standards for apprenticeships is a positive step forward."
But while welcoming an increased emphasis on quality, Dr Marshall warned that a "one-size-fits-all approach will not work".
The Association of Employment and Learning Providers warned that the changes might work better for large employers and warned that the grading system was not "appropriate" and could create too much bureaucracy.
This year's figures show an increase of 32% on the figures for 2005/06, from 45,331 to 59,882.
Of the 58,439 incidents reported in 2014-15, 54% resulted in the recording of at least one crime or offence.
The government has pledged £3m funding over the next three years to help domestic abuse victims.
The advocacy service Assist will receive the £3m funding to help all "have the confidence to report crime", according to the Justice Secretary, Michael Matheson MSP.
Statistics showed there were 58,439 incidents reported in 2014-15, compared to 59,882 reported in 2013-14 - an increase of 2.5%.
Scottish Conservative justice spokeswoman Margaret Mitchell called the 46% of reported cases which did not lead to a conviction "depressing" but welcomed the news that more victims were coming forward.
She called for more analysis about the incidents which did not result in a conviction.
Women currently make up the majority of domestic abuse victims, 80% in 2014-15.
But over the last 10 years, the number of male victims has risen - from 5,332 victims, 12% of victims, in 2005-06, to 9,755 victims, 20%, in 2014-15.
However, there was a 1% decrease in male victims reporting domestic abuse in 2014-15 on the previous year.
The proportion of reported incidents against men leading to police charges has remained consistently lower than those against women.
Overall, 60% of reports against women led to a crime or offence being recorded in 2014-15, compared with 52% against men.
Mhairi McGowan, Head of Service for Assist and Domestic Abuse services at Community Safety Glasgow, said: "Our service supports both female and male victims... Everyone deserves to live a life free from abuse."

In a note on their website the centre said two partners were on long-term sick leave and they were unable to replace another who was retiring.
It said due to "clinical safety" patients may find they are unable to be seen on the day they call.
NHS England said the practice should consider stopping patient registration.
The note said: "The practice is currently looking at sourcing additional locum GP cover to assist in the shortfall of appointments during this crisis period and would ask patients to please support us in this difficult time."
Patients with urgent problems who cannot be seen on the day have been advised to use walk-in centres at Caterham Dene, Edenbridge or the A&E Department at East Surrey Hospital.
The practice has not yet responded to the BBC's request for a comment.

The pair, aged 25 and 32, were detained after officers searched a number of properties in the area.
The men are being held on suspicion of the preparation, commission or instigation of terrorist-related offences.
Their arrests are part of an ongoing investigation and there is no immediate threat to the public, the force said.
Under terrorism legislation officers have an initial 48 hours to question the suspects before charging, releasing or applying for a warrant of further detention.
Police were called after reports of a disturbance at a property in Hickling Road, Ilford, on Saturday night.
Florin Onea, 49, was taken to hospital with a stab wound and died on Monday.

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said it was "a unique strategic opportunity" to hold the event in the United States for the first time.
IAAF chief Lamine Diack said the decision was taken "in the interest of the global development of our sport".
Eugene missed out on the 2019 event.
Doha in Qatar was awarded that championships, but a recent presentation to the IAAF persuaded the governing body the American city is capable of staging a major event.
Diack added: "In granting the championships to Eugene the IAAF Council have made a clear choice on a strategic decision that enables us to take advantage of a unique opportunity that may never arise again.
"It will see public authorities, the private sector, the national Olympic Committee, NBC and a particularly enthusiastic public joining forces."
Eugene has strong links to sportswear giant Nike.
The company's co-founder Phil Knight - the 35th-richest person in the world - attended the University of Oregon in the city and has helped fund buildings at the campus. Nike's other co-founder, Bill Bowerman, was an athletics coach at the university.
Nike also sponsors the city's IAAF Prefontaine Classic, which is part of the Diamond League calendar.
The 2007 World Championships, held in Osaka, Japan, were also awarded without a bidding process.
Visually impaired skier Gallagher, who won gold at Sochi 2014, was testing the course on Monday with guide Gary Smith.
Organisers had altered the course after concerns were raised about the jump section where the 31-year-old crashed.
Gallagher landed her jump, but slid into netting, which caused the injury.
The Briton received treatment on the mountain before being airlifted to a local hospital, where she spent the night.
Speaking prior to the incident, Gallagher's team-mate Millie Knight told BBC Sport the conditions were "fantastic" and that the course was "amazing".
However, the Northern Irish skier's crash was preceded by another involving five-time Paralympic champion Henrieta Farkasova.
In a statement, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) said that all athletes and coaches had inspected the course beforehand and that it was only after the crashes that concerns were raised.
"World Para Alpine Skiing takes the safety of athletes very seriously," said an IPC spokesperson.
"Following the feedback the jump was removed and another inspection by both the coaches and the athletes was carried out before training resumed.
"We wish Kelly a speedy recovery and hope she can return to competition very soon."
Knight and the other remaining British competitor Menna Fitzpatrick will be joined in the opening downhill and SuperG speed events by James Whitley, who competes in the men's standing class.
Each will then race in the final three technical events along with another British standing skier, Matt Short.
The World Para Alpine skiing championships, which run from 25-31 January, are the final major event for athletes in the sport ahead of next year's Winter Paralympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
It starts on Wednesday with over 130 skiers from 30 nations competing.
Baverstock Academy, in Druids Heath, Birmingham, sent out a letter six weeks ago informing families of new rules making plain black shoes compulsory.
Parents said the expulsions were harsh and confusing, but the headteacher said they should have been aware of changes.
The school would not say how many pupils were sent home, but one parent reported a number in the hundreds.
More on this and other stories in Birmingham and Black Country
Sharon Manders, from Kings Norton, whose daughter Holly was one of the pupils affected, said cracking down on uniform should not be a target for the school which is in special measures.
"With the school going through all the problems as it is I don't think that footwear should be a priority," she said.
"I think it's a bit hypocritical when it's the school failing and not the children."
Anne-Marie Alder, from Druids Heath, had two of her four children sent home, with a third kept in an isolation unit from other pupils while she sat exams.
She said the "ridiculous" decision had led to "chaotic" scenes and about 300 children being sent home.
"The new headteacher's not even a permanent member of staff, but she's coming in and banning everything halfway through the year," she said.
"I said at a meeting I had no problem with it happening in September, but it's too disruptive doing it now because it's not fair on parents."
Defending the school's actions, interim executive principal Sylvia Thomas said enough notice of the changes had been given, adding parents had given their support to her over the new rules.
"We subscribe to a set of traditional values here at The Baverstock Academy which include a clear dress code for all, expectations of good attendance and punctuality and of course courtesy and respect," she said.
The R&B star was not at his home at the time of robbery, which took place in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Officials said the suspects, who were armed with handguns, got away from the Tarzana property with an unknown amount of money and some personal items.
Brown or his representatives have yet to comment on the matter.
According to reports, the 26-year-old was at a nightclub at the time of the incident.
It marks the second home invasion that Brown, the former boyfriend of pop star Rihanna, has suffered in recent months.
In May, he came home to another property to find a woman had allegedly broken in, cooked several meals and written "I love you" on walls.
Amira Ayeb, 21, subsequently pleaded not guilty to first-degree residential burglary, stalking and vandalism.
Officers said a man got on the 19:55 Helensburgh Central to Edinburgh service on Sunday 2 October and started to use his phone.
He went on to make comments about a nearby passenger which other people on the train perceived to be racist.
There was then an exchange of words between another male passenger and the man, who left the service at Carntyne station at 20:52.
The man, who boarded the train in Helensburgh, was white, aged between 55 and 65, with receding grey hair. He was wearing a green jacket, blue jeans and a grey checked shirt.
British Transport Police (BTP) officers are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
PC Mark Harrington said: "We would like to find out a bit more about what happened on the service as we know there was some kind of altercation between passengers following a phone call made by this man.
"We know other passengers were watching the incident and so may have crucial information."
Two 13-year-old boys, a 16-year-old boy and a 24-year-old man were charged with violent disorder after an incident on 20 October.
A 17-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man were charged with breaching a dispersal order.
The order will remain in place this weekend and extra patrols will take place across Newport, police said.
The 24-year-old was remanded to appear in court on Saturday, while the three boys were bailed until 22 November.
The 17-year-old girl was bailed until 10 November and the 20-year-old man until 8 November.
Officers said they were still reviewing CCTV and asking for information about anyone involved.
The US Episcopal Church - which has an openly gay bishop - is to be barred from Anglican decision-making bodies.
Rhondda MP Chris Bryant said the church's stance on homosexuality would one day be seen to be as wrong as its 19th Century support for slavery.
He said Jesus preached peace and understanding, not hatred and division.
Anglican leaders from all over the world have been meeting in Canterbury to try to heal deep rifts within the church over issues such as same-sex marriage and gay clerics.
Bishops in African countries such as Uganda and Kenya oppose the more liberal stance on homosexuality taken by some churches in the west.
A statement issued on Thursday acknowledged "deep differences" over the understanding of marriage, but said the Episcopal Church's approval of gay marriage was "a fundamental departure from the faith and teaching" of the majority of Anglicans.
Before the meeting, more than 100 senior Anglicans had urged the Church of England to repent for "discriminating" against lesbian and gay Christians in an open letter.
Mr Bryant, a former curate and youth chaplain, later tweeted: "I've finally given up on Anglican church today after its love-empty decision on sexuality. One day it will seem wrong as supporting slavery."
Speaking to BBC Wales, he added: "The whole point of the Anglican communion is that we agree in the autonomy of its churches.
"I think we've behaved disgracefully to the American church.
"This is the established Church of England taking a stance against homosexuality.
"Ironically the Church in Wales is much more liberal on this issue.
"Church leaders should read the Bible - Jesus's message was not one of hatred and division, but one of peace and understanding."
Resuming on 36-2, the visitors were in trouble when Dawid Malan and Paul Stirling fell to leave them on 79-4.
But important knocks from Nick Compton (49), Ryan Higgins (45) and John Simpson (40) put Middlesex back on top.
Warwickshire hit back to reduce their opponents from 170-5 to 227-9, before Tim Murtagh hit the winning runs.
The result means the Bears are still without a win in the Championship this season, and they are 37 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table with six games left to play.
Middlesex's victory takes the reigning county champions 30 points above the relegation places in Division One.
Swedish firm Minesto is fixing underwater energy "kites" in the sea off Holyhead to power 8,000 households.
It now wants to boost the size of the scheme from 10 to 80 MW (megawatts) so it can halve the cost of energy produced.
The Marine Management Organisation and Natural Resources Wales have been asked to approve the move.
Minesto's chief executive Dr Martin Edlund called it a "substantial scale-up" of the original plan that is due to be partly operational later this year.
The company said it has created 15 full-time jobs to date in Holyhead, and now aims to develop the site into an assembly and export hub for Minesto's international market expansion.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates AM said: "I am delighted by Minesto's progress and their commitment to make Anglesey their main technology deployment and trading hub and I welcome their ambitious plans to grow their business in Wales."
The technology uses tidal currents to force water through a turbine as the underwater kites "fly" through the sea.
But the firm's chief operating officer, in an interview for BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, said the first step is to "start paying women well".
She chose Beyonce's empowering Run The World (Girls) as her first song.
She said: "We start telling little girls not to lead at a really young age and we start to tell boys [to] lead at a very young age. That is a mistake."
"I believe everyone has inside them the ability to lead and we should let people chose that not based on their gender but on who they are and who they want to be."
In an emotional interview, Ms Sandberg also spoke of the sudden death of her husband in 2015 and the effect on her two young children.
"I didn't know anyone could cry this much," she said.
Ms Sandberg made headlines in 2013 with her book "Lean in" about female empowerment in the workplace.
It became a worldwide bestseller, but was criticised by some for being elitist and unrealistic for many women not in her privileged position.
In the interview, she also called for more to be done around the gender pay gap between men and women.
Ms Sandberg admitted she had struggled with self-doubt at Harvard and recognised that women more than men underestimated their own worth, preventing them from putting themselves forward or asking for a pay rise.
"We need to start paying women well and we need the public and the corporate policy to get there," she said.
"Certainly, women applying for jobs at the same rate as men, women running for office at the same rate as men, that has got to be part of the answer."
Following the sudden death of her husband Dave Goldberg, Ms Sandberg described herself a "different" person now.
She found him on the floor of a gym with a head injury after he had suffered a heart attack whilst they were on a weekend away.
Sometimes tearful, she said: "I'm sadder. I didn't know anyone could cry this much. I asked my sister - she is a doctor - and she said the majority of your body is water," she joked.
She chose One by U2 as the record she would keep if the other seven were washed away because Mr Goldberg had loved the band, adding that music had been incredibly important to them both - her husband was the founder of online music site, Launch Media.
Another of her eight tracks was Queen's You're My Best Friend in tribute to her group of close female friends whom she said helped support her through the ordeal.
Since his death, Ms Sandberg said she had become more empathetic and, at Facebook, doubled the amount of time Facebook employees can take off when an immediate family member dies to 20 days.
She said it was also important to support people and build their confidence if they wanted to come into work.
"I offer people time off, I say can we take that project off you, but when they want to be at work, let them.
"Sometimes for me, the memories of Dave are everywhere, but they are worse at home by far, so for me getting out of the house and having something else to do that was a lifeline.
"I have heard that from many people who have lost a spouse and children."
She said it was impossible to look ahead 10 years, but she wanted her husband's legacy to be one of "life, hope and joy".
When asked about her meeting with the Home Secretary Amber Rudd to discuss what Facebook was doing to fight terrorism, she said they were "aligned" in their aims.
"Complicated conversations" with governments about encrypted messages on WhatsApp, the social messaging platform that Facebook owns, were also continuing, she said.
Following the Westminster terror attack on 22 March, Ms Rudd wanted the police to have access to encrypted WhatsApp messages that suspects had sent each other.
Ms Sandberg's chosen book was the science fantasy novel "A Wrinkle in Time" written by American writer Madeleine L'Engle, because she said it was a triumph of "light against darkness," and her luxury was a journal.
President Obama is also close to expanding US air strikes against IS after seeking support from several EU allies, according to US officials.
Last week the UN said urgent action was needed to stop a massacre in Amerli.
The Iraqi town is at risk of falling into the hands of IS, who now control large swathes of Iraq and Syria.
The majority of Amerli's residents are Shia Turkmen, who are seen as apostates by IS.
It has been surrounded by IS fighters for two months and the UN says residents have no electricity or drinking water, and are running out of food and medical supplies.
About 12,000 to 15,000 people are estimated to be in the town, which is 170km (105 miles) north of Baghdad and sits in territory controlled by the Kurdish authorities.
Iraqi troops are said to be preparing to attempt to break the siege and several air strikes by Iraqi aircraft were reported in the area on Wednesday.
Three US defence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to the AP news agency, said a US aid mission was under consideration but a timetable was not yet clear.
If President Obama authorises the aid drops it would be the second recent humanitarian intervention by US forces in Iraq.
Earlier this month, US planes dropped food and water to thousands of Yazidis stranded on Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq after IS fighters surrounded them.
But the US called off a planned rescue mission after a Special Forces team sent to the area said the number of those stranded was far lower than thought.
However, UK newspaper The Guardian said satellite imagery shows that around 2,000 Yazidis remain stranded on Mount Sinjar despite the US claiming that the siege was over on 14 August.
Salim Hassan, a Yazidi still on Mount Sinjar, told the newspaper that they "need weapons now more than food or water" to protect themselves from IS fighters.
His comments were echoed by Iraqi President Fuad Masum in an interview with BBC Arabic, who said his country's armed forces need more sophisticated weapons to defeat the extremist group.
On Wednesday, the Czech government approved supplying about $2 million (??1.2m) worth of ammunition and hand grenades to Kurdish forces, transported to Iraq by US forces.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Germany's government would make a decision by Sunday about what military aid it would send to Iraq.
Islamic State's advance across Iraq has displaced about 1.2 million people, with many flooding into Iraqi Kurdistan.
The BBC's Jim Muir in Irbil says the region is struggling to cope with the sudden influx amid the blistering heat of summer, with daytime temperatures above 45C (113F).
UK International Development Secretary Justine Greening visited one refugee camp in Kurdistan on Wednesday and said Britain "can do more, and will do more".
She announced an additional ??10 million ($16.5m) of emergency aid, bringing the UK's total relief package for displaced Iraqis to ??23 million ($38m).
Who are Islamic State (IS)?
Taylor, who last won the title in 2013, edged a tense see-saw match 5-3 despite losing three successive sets.
The 54-year-old said: "It felt more like survival than a victory but I'm through and that is all that matters."
Dutchman Van Barneveld trailed BDO world champion Stephen Bunting 3-2 but fought back to win 5-4.
The five-time champion broke Bunting's resistance with a 107 checkout to take a tense seventh set and followed it up with a 113 checkout against the darts at the start of the last set.
In the earlier contest, Taylor was far from his best, averaging 100.08 with just a 40% success rate with doubles, but was fortunate that Dutchman Van der Voort struggled with a back injury.
The turning point came in the sixth set when Taylor, trailing 3-2, won the decisive leg despite taking 8 darts to hit a double.
The 18-year-old lost his semi-final against Commonwealth champion and eventual winner Owen Livesey.
"It was great to come in to a senior competition and manage a medal," McWatt said of the under-81kg category event.
"It is my first World Cup medal, so I'm pleased, and the first time I have been exposed to a high level of senior."
McWatt practises on the mats with Livesey and was frustrated that he could not get the better of his English opponent.
"I fight him in training quite a bit," he told BBC Sport. "I know I can throw him.
"Getting a performance here wasn't the main goal. It was just to come and get some experience.
"Now I've got a bronze medal here, hopefully it will open up some pathways in the senior competitions, but I've still got another two years in junior competitions, so it's not too important."
British judoka won eight medals at the Emirates Arena.
Although Glasgow's Neil MacDonald was not among those, coach Euan Burton was pleased to see him and McWatt perform well as they build towards their long-term Olympics goals.
"Neil and Stuart are down at the British Judo centre of excellence," he said.
"They are guys who are already doing big things on the international scene at cadets and juniors. Stuart proved he can do it not just at the cadets and junior level but at the senior level.
"Rio is definitely going to be too soon for those guys. Both of those guys want to be Junior European and Junior World champions and they've got a couple of years left to do that.
"I'm pretty sure at the back of their minds they have Tokyo and they would like to be British Olympic medallists on the podium at the home of judo."
Commonwealth player Andrew Burns also won bronze in Glasgow, in the under-90kg category, as he tries to clinch a Team GB place for the Rio Olympics.
He was a reserve for the British team at the Beijing Games and missed out on London four years later because of injury.
"I like fighting in my home city," he said. "Glasgow is always good for me.
"The top 22 in the world qualify [for Rio] and it has probably put me just inside. It doesn't mean I'm going to stay there, but hopefully more success will solidify that.
"I feel I am good enough to go to an Olympic Games and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure I'm there."
The paper's former editor questioned whether Fatima Manji should have been allowed to appear on Channel 4 News.
The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) said it would assess the complaints.
Channel 4 News said the comments were "completely unacceptable".
The news organisation told the BBC it would be making an official complaint to Ipso over the remarks.
It is also understood Manji is considering her other legal options.
Writing in his column on Monday, MacKenzie said he could "hardly believe my eyes" when Manji - who normally wears the traditional Muslim head scarf - appeared on the news bulletin.
She was co-presenting the programme from London while Jon Snow reported from Nice.
"Was it appropriate for her to be on camera when there had been yet another shocking slaughter by a Muslim?" he wrote.
"Was it done to stick one in the eye of the ordinary viewer who looks at the hijab as a sign of the slavery of Muslim women by a male-dominated and clearly violent religion?"
Eighty-four people were killed by French-Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel when he drove a lorry through crowds gathered in Nice to celebrate Bastille Day.
"The comments published in The Sun by Mr MacKenzie are offensive, completely unacceptable, and arguably tantamount to inciting religious and even racial hatred," Channel 4 News said.
"It is wrong to suggest that a qualified journalist should be barred from reporting on a particular story or present on a specific day because of their faith.
"Fatima Manji is an award-winning journalist. We are proud that she is part of our team and will receive, as ever, our full support in the wake of his comments."
'Will not be deterred'
Ipso said the complaints it received related to accuracy, harassment and discrimination.
Manji wrote a response to MacKenzie's comments in the Liverpool Echo, saying she was "not expecting an apology from him any time soon".
"Mr MacKenzie's article was but one wild screed in a long-running and widespread campaign to intimidate Muslims out of public life," she said.
"[He] has attempted to smear 1.6 billion Muslims in suggesting they are inherently violent. He has attempted to smear half of them further by suggesting they are helpless slaves. And he has attempted to smear me by suggesting I would sympathise with a terrorist.
"I will not be deterred... by the efforts of those who find the presence of Muslims in British cultural life offensive."
A spokesman for The Sun said it was making "no comment" on the issue.

Thousands of inspectors will be on hand to enforce toughened regulations, and hand out 200-yuan (£21; $32) fines to anyone caught lighting up in restaurants, offices and on public transport in the capital. Businesses that turn a blind eye could be fined up to 10,000 yuan.
However, some of China's media outlets say not everyone fully understands the new law.
An online survey by the China News Service shows that 80% of the netizens who responded had "different levels of understanding of the ban", while close to 20% of the respondents "have no idea".
Other surveys had similarly pessimistic results.
A report in the China News Service finds that more than 60% of those interviewed said they would not stop other person from flouting the rules.
"I am not a law enforcer. I will invite trouble if I stop a smoker directly. If I am in a restaurant, I will change a seat or just leave," says one of the respondents.
The China Economic Net reports that many are "not confident" that entertainment venues and restaurants will remain smoke-free. It adds that both smokers and non-smokers generally agree that the fine of 200 yuan is too low for individuals.
However, some of China's prominent newspapers and websites have been trying to "educate" people about the ban.
The Sohu, a popular web portal, suggests business owners set up a separate smoking area for guests and the Beijing News urges people to help officials strictly enforce the ban.
Despite the challenges, an opinion piece in the China Daily says the new regulations are "a good beginning to create a smoking-free world" and will "test the authorities' determination, responsibility and administrative ability".
For the Beijing Times, the ban is the "first strong step" in Beijing and it is likely to set a good example for others.
The "toughest ban" has indeed served as an inspiration for others to follow, it says.
According to Chengdu Evening News, Chengdu, in southwest Sichuan province is also considering a similar set of regulations to deter public smoking.

But when the property mogul tried it on that year with a young model, at a party in New York, he couldn't quite close the deal. "I am not giving you my number," countered 28-year-old Melania Knavs. "You give me yours, and I will call you."
Fast-forward seven years and the pair tied the knot in a star-studded bash at his Florida estate. Fast-forward again and Mrs Trump is now the First Lady of the United States. But who is she?
Glamorous and entirely devoted to her husband and his success, Mrs Trump has been cast as a kind of retro presidential spouse, a modern-day Jackie Kennedy. Like the former Mrs Kennedy, Mrs Trump, now 46, speaks four languages: Slovenian, French, German, and English.
When Mr Trump first hinted at tilting for the top office, in 1999, she told reporters: "I would be very traditional, like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy."
But there are ways in which she will be a less-than-traditional First Lady: she will be the first to have posed nude for a magazine.
Supporters of Ted Cruz seized on her work as a model, overlaying an image of her posing naked with the warning: "Meet Melania Trump, your next First Lady. Or you could vote for Ted Cruz on Tuesday."
Early in 2016, a lewd phone interview with Mr and Mrs Trump by shock-jock radio presenter Howard Stern resurfaced, in which Mr Stern quizzed Mrs Trump about what she was wearing ("almost nothing") and how often she had sex with Mr Trump ("every night, sometimes more"), and described her to Mr Trump as "that broad in your bed". The interview prompted accusations of misogyny.
Mrs Trump is suing the Daily Mail for $150m (£120m), over an article she claims infers that she was a sex worker in the 1990s. The lawsuit says the article, now retracted, cost her the "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to profit from her brand. A similar lawsuit against a blogger was settled in February 2017 for a "substantial sum", Mrs Trump's lawyers said.
Mrs Trump used her social media accounts to hit back and her treatment has been compared by some commentators to "slut-shaming" - the practice of attacking women over certain ways of dressing or acting.
Mrs Trump was born Melanija Knavs in Sevnica, a small town about an hour's drive from Slovenia's capital Ljubljana, to a relatively well-off family. Her father Viktor worked for the mayor of nearby Hrastnik before becoming a successful car salesman. Her mother, Amalija, designed prints for a fashion brand.
Melania studied design and architecture in Ljubljana. It was claimed on her professional website that she held a degree, but later emerged that she dropped out during her first year. The website has now been scrubbed entirely and redirects to Mr Trump's business site.
At 18, she signed with a modelling agency in Milan and began flying around Europe and the US, appearing in high-profile ad campaigns. It was at a party at New York Fashion week that she met Mr Trump.
Like her husband, she never drinks, according to reports, and shies away from late-night parties. She has her own branded jewellery business and is reportedly involved in the design process.
The pair married in 2005 and had a son, Barron, in 2006. Her parents spend a significant amount of time in New York, helping care for Barron, though they do not speak English, according to reports.
She has not yet moved in to the White House with her husband, and has said she will instead remain in New York until the end of Barron's next school term.
Mrs Trump has apparently squared her background with her husband's attacks on immigration - declaring that she did everything by the book.
"It never crossed my mind to stay here without papers," she told Harpers Bazaar. "You follow the rules. You follow the law. Every few months you need to fly back to Europe and stamp your visa."
Mrs Trump has largely steered clear of the political fray, confining her appearances to standing by her husband's side. "I chose not to go into politics and policy," she said in an interview with GQ. "Those policies are my husband's job."
Her one big moment of the campaign came when she took centre stage on the first day of the Republican National Convention in July for the traditional spousal speech, and it did not go well.
Commentators quickly noticed remarkable similarities with Michelle Obama's convention speech in 2008, and the ensuing plagiarism scandal overshadowed what she had to say.
Mrs Trump's lawsuit against the Daily Mail has put her in the spotlight once again, but she remains something of an unknown quantity compared with her predecessors. She does advise her husband, she told GQ, but she remains tight-lipped about it what she says.
"Nobody knows and nobody will ever know," she said. "Because that's between me and my husband."
Patients on solanezumab did not show any slowing in cognitive decline compared to those treated with a placebo, or dummy drug.
The results of the trial were much anticipated after promising data was released last year.
The phase 3 trial, called EXPEDITION3, involved more than 2,000 patients with Alzheimer's disease.
The drug targeted the build up of amyloid protein, which forms sticky plaques in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's.
It is thought the formation of these plaques between nerve cells, known as neurons, leads to damage and eventually brain cell death.
Dementia now leading cause of death
How close are we to stopping Alzheimer's?
There are several amyloid-clearance drugs going through trials, but solanezumab was at the most advanced stage of development.
These results were the last major hurdle before Eli Lilly could seek to get the drug licenced, which will not now happen.
John Lechleiter, chief executive of Eli Lilly, said: "The results of the solanezumab EXPEDITION3 trial were not what we had hoped for and we are disappointed for the millions of people waiting for a potential disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease."
Lilly estimates it has invested $3bn in dementia research in the past 25 years.
Prof Nick Fox, director of the Dementia Research Centre, UCL said: "This is a setback and it is very disappointing but there are other experimental approaches going through trials which show much greater promise than solanezumab."
Prof Peter Roberts, an expert in pharmacology at University of Bristol, said he was not surprised by the findings.
He said: "The problem, to my mind, is completely fundamental. There is still no convincing evidence that shows a clear relationship between amyloid deposition and deficits in cognition in humans.
"All we really know is that evidence of amyloid deposition begins up to maybe 20 years before the onset of Alzheimer's disease."
Prof Roxana O'Carare, Professor of Clinical Neuroanatomy, University of Southampton, said part of the problem might be that amyloid had to be removed from the brain, not just broken down.
"The brain is not equipped with lymph vessels as other organs have. Instead fluid and waste are eliminated from the brain along very narrow pathways that are embedded within the walls of blood vessels.
"These pathways change in composition and fail in their function with increasing age and with the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, resulting in the build up of amyloid in the walls of blood vessels.
"When a vaccine such as solanezumab is administered, the sticky plaques of amyloid from the brain break down, but the excess waste and fluid is unable to drain along the already compromised drainage pathways."
Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of Alzheimer's Society, said they had high hopes for the drug, which have been dashed.
"It's extremely disappointing to learn that it hasn't delivered a meaningful change for people living with dementia, when the need is clearly so great.
"Dementia is society's biggest health challenge - and we've seen time and again that developing effective treatments is incredibly difficult."
But he added: "This is only one drug of several in the pipeline and they aim to tackle dementia in different ways, so we should not lose hope.
"Dementia can and will be beaten."

The Barcelona star must pay €252,000 ($288,000, £223,000), equating to €400 for each day of the sentence, the court said in a statement.
Messi, along with his father Jorge, was found guilty of defrauding Spain of €4.1m between 2007 and 2009.
His father's 15-month sentence was replaced with a €180,000 fine.
The pair had been found guilty of using tax havens in Belize and Uruguay to conceal earnings from image rights.
As well as the suspended jail terms, the Argentina international was fined about €2m and his father €1.5m. They made a voluntary €5m "corrective payment", equal to the alleged unpaid tax plus interest, in August 2013.
Messi's appeal against the sentence was rejected by Spain's Supreme Court last month, but his father's jail time was reduced because he had paid some of the taxes.
The footballer was never expected to serve time in jail as under the Spanish system, prison terms of under two years can be served under probation.
Lionel Messi's highs and lows
In July, the Henn-na Hotel will open in the city of Sasebo, Japan, and its owners hope this will be a new frontier for the hospitality industry.
It will be staffed by 10 life-like robots, with only two flesh-and-blood staff members on the premises.
The robots will greet guests, carry bags, and even clean rooms once a guest leaves. Complete with an eerily realistic female face, they are designed to speak several languages and respond to guest enquiries in the 72-room hotel.
The aim is to create an all-round hi-tech experience, including facial recognition software to open doors.
While not every receptionist or bellboy is under immediate threat from an imminent robot uprising, the wider hotel business is embracing new technologies.
GTRIIP, a start-up founded in Singapore that has opened offices in the US, has developed a documentless check-in service using the iPhone's biometric features.
Guests can securely check in at participating hotel chains using Apple's Touch ID fingerprint recognition technology to access the booking details saved on their device.
At the hotel, receptionists have their own "kiosk app" for checking in guests.
Co-founders Maxim Thaw Tint and Stanley Myo Lwin, both frequent travellers, were frustrated with time-consuming hotel processes and the need to carry multiple IDs or reservation documents.
"When we researched the existing biometric technologies we found that the Apple Touch ID is out there since 2013 together with the iPhone 5S," says Mr Thaw Tint.
"We decided to leverage on this because we don't want to reinvent the wheel."
GTRIIP is of particular interest to business travellers, says Mr Thaw Tint, who will often choose the same hotel group, due to their loyalty program.
"[This] is good for pre-verified Touch ID," he says.
The start-up is already working with hotels in the US, Singapore, Sri Lanka, India, and Myanmar.
US chain Starwood Hotels offers the SPG Keyless app, which lets guests use a smartphone or Apple watch as a door key.
Customers can make reservations using the app, then on the morning of arrival they receive a notification with the details of their room.
"That's your digital room key that allows you to go right to your room and use your mobile device to bypass check-in," says Starwood's Mark Vondrasek.
Mobile brings a new level of convenience, he says. You're more likely to notice losing a smartphone than a key card. If someone does misplace their phone, the lock can be disengaged at reception.
"With dual encryption both at password-at-the-phone level as well as at the lock level, we are convinced that Keyless is actually safer from a security standpoint than traditional keys are," Mr Vondrasek explains.
"Our perspective on our guests' mobile device is that it really should be their remote control for their entire stay with us. Why can't they order more towels through their mobile device?"
Eventually guests will be able to book dinner, order drinks, or make housekeeping requests through their smartphone without ever going near reception.
"That's the work we're excited to build on in this space. We started with Keyless because it solved a critical point of check-in but we expect to be deep in mobile investment around a guest's stay over the next few years," he says.
Hilton Hotels and Resorts has launched a digital check-in service for its HHonors rewards programme, where guests can choose their own room from a floor plan on the app.
The company is also planning a smartphone key function in the near future.
"Later this year, our guests will be able to use their smartphones to safely and securely unlock their hotel room door and other areas that require secured access, such as the gym or pool," says Geraldine Calpin, senior vice president and global head of digital at Hilton Worldwide.
Other hotels have turned to social media, such as Instagram, to drive further guest engagement.
The 1888 Hotel in Sydney has been called the Instagram Hotel, where popular members of the picture-sharing network can earn a free night's stay by sharing photos with the #1888Hotel hashtag.
Conrad Hotels, a Hilton brand, uses Like2Buy - a shopping platform that lets Instagrammers view and book rooms through the app.
The company says that in the first 30 days they saw several thousand click-throughs to their booking site, along with a spike in followers and brand engagement.
But with new technology comes new threats.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas was targeted by malware in early May, with hackers stealing seven months' worth of credit card transaction data.
In April, White Lodgings reported a data breach at several of its restaurants, including Marriot and Sheraton locations. This follows a separate data breach in 2013.
In Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, published in April, hospitality featured in the top 10 industries affected, both by incident and numbers breached.
It has a history of being a soft target says Symantec principal security response manager, Joji Hamada.
"Hotels also collect various personal data such as email addresses, billing addresses, phone numbers, and so on," he says.
He believes the hospitality industry needs to take proactive steps to protect data, just like the retail industry.
"There is interest for these types of personal information in the underground market, so data could potentially be sold."
He is accused of putting his fellow soldiers in danger and faces a court-martial on charges including desertion.
If convicted in April, Sgt Bergdahl could face life in prison.
He was freed in May 2014 in a swap with five Taliban prisoners held at the US prison in Guantanamo. President-elect Donald Trump considers him a traitor.
Mr Trump said on the campaign trail that Sgt Berdahl should have been executed.
Sgt Bergdahl's lawyer Eugene Fidell called in December 2015 for Mr Trump to "cease his prejudicial months-long campaign of defamation against our client".
What do we know about Bergdahl's disappearance?
Profile: Sgt Bowe Bergdahl
The prisoner swap, initially hailed by Mr Obama, was criticised by others, including Republicans, for contravening policy against negotiating with terrorists.
For his part, Sgt Bergdahl, 30, has sought to justify his actions by saying he left his unit without authorisation in 2009 to highlight poor leadership.
The exact circumstances of his disappearance have yet to be clarified, but significant effort was put into trying to find him amid claims the search itself led to US military casualties.
The president has the power to grant what are called pre-emptive pardons even before conviction.
Gerald Ford pardoned his predecessor Richard Nixon in 1974, and President George HW Bush pardoned former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger in 1992 after he was charged in connection with the Iran-Contra affair.
The rebel operation began at dawn on several fronts, with hundreds of shells being fired at western areas.
State media said eight people were killed and dozens hurt by the barrage.
The attack follows a failed attempt by rebels to re-open the Castello Road, the only way out of the rebel-held east for some 300,000 people living there.
Large parts of Aleppo, once Syria's commercial and industrial hub, have been destroyed since fighting erupted there in 2012.
The city has been the focus of intensified fighting since UN-brokered peace talks and a partial truce brokered by the US and Russia broke down earlier this year.
An AFP news agency correspondent said the rebel offensive on government-held districts began at dawn, sparking fierce clashes along the frontline inside Aleppo.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said more than 300 shells were fired by the rebels as they attacked.
However, the rebels had so far not managed to make any gains because they had come under heavy bombardment by government aircraft, it added.
Ahmed, a resident of the Syriac quarter in western Aleppo, told AFP that the rebel shelling had completely destroyed his home.
"The sounds of the fighting can still be heard and are very loud, and the shelling on the western neighbourhoods is ongoing," he said.
Later, a government air strike on one of the city's rebel-held districts killed 10 people, activists said.
At least 14 other people died when a diesel fuel market in the village of Termanin, in neighbouring Idlib province, was bombed by government aircraft, according to the Syrian Observatory. Those killed included media activist Ibrahim Omar and two civil defence rescue workers, it said.
In the town of Ahsem in Idlib province, an air strike hit a local field hospital, kiling three people, according the charity UOSSM Canada.
UOSSM said the hospital was offering care to many internally displaced Syrians as well as locals in the town.
The rebel assault inside Aleppo came a day after 29 rebels were reportedly killed trying to push government forces back from the Castello Road.
The key supply route was effectively severed on Thursday when troops and allied militiamen took control of a nearby hilltop, putting them within firing range.
On Friday, a UN spokesman said the Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs was "extremely concerned at the unfolding situation in Aleppo... particularly the situation for the estimated 300,000 people trapped in the eastern part".
March 2011: Anti-government protests erupt across Syria, but Aleppo is initially untouched as a result of a state crackdown
July 2012: The battle for Aleppo begins. Rebels make swift advances, but are unable to consolidate their gains and the city becomes divided
2013: The government begins bombarding rebel districts with barrel bombs, causing thousands of casualties
September 2015: Government launches fresh offensive on rebel-held east in the wake of Russia's intervention in the conflict
February 2016: The government captures towns north-west of Aleppo, threatening to encircle the rebel-held area of the city
July 2016: Government forces effectively cut the only road into the rebel-held east
That's what happened on Thursday morning in Sydney - or so it seemed.
It turned out to be an elaborate advertising hoax, which not everyone fell for - throwing up the question of just how effective such campaigns really are.
In this latest case it was a ploy to get the company trending and boost awareness of the release of a new app launched on that very day.
The made-up social media manager who was fired from his made-up job went by the name of Dave - and #SaveDave and #DaveGetsFired did indeed go viral in Sydney on Thursday morning.
Fictional Dave bad-mouthed his former company, ridiculing the way in which they wanted him to promote said app.
He also revealed that he could still use the company account and offered to send free pizza to people who got in touch with him. Whereas the story wasn't real, the pizza very much was.
While some people believed the story and expressed their support for the ranting runaway, many immediately smelled a hoax.
The reaction was mixed - from amusement and respect for the campaign ...
... to people saying how much they "hate" any such marketing on social medial, doubting that it will translate into any gains for the company behind it.
Using social media for marketing campaigns means walking a fine line, it's a medium to be handled with great care if you don't want things to backfire.
"A hoax of this type where you are misleading people is actually a semi-suicidal form of using social media," Thomas Crampton, global managing director from the advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather told the BBC.
"Social media are media of trust. And if you undermine that trust you're undermining one of the core values of the medium."
He explains that in fact it has taken people a while to develop that very trust. When companies then use it to intentionally take you for a ride it tends not to go down too well with people.
And in most major examples of that kind, the cases got a lot of attention not because they succeeded but because of the complaints and anger over them.
"I think people appreciate a clever campaign when it is transparently that - it's a campaign," says Phil Simmonds, VP Asia Pacific with advertisers McCorkell.
"When people have their emotions or belief systems manipulated, they don't like it and it can backfire spectacularly. The 'Man in the jacket' was a huge one, and people fully fell for it."
In the case of the 'Man in the jacket', a clothing company in Australia had a girl post a video on Youtube talking about how she had allegedly met the love of her life in a cafe but only had his jacket - no contact details. Reaching out to the public to help her find that man, this Cinderella-looking-for-her-Prince-Charming was in fact advertising for the jacket and the clothing firm behind it.
"There was huge backlash when it turned out to be an engineered campaign," Mr Simmonds explains.
And he was not the only one whom Dave reminded of that jacket hoax.
In fact, there are many examples where the exact opposite of a hoax turned out to be the thing that worked: extreme sincerity and honesty.
It is a strategy that usually works best in a moment of crisis, when a company can come forward to apologise.
"It's when you are in a bad situation and you're trying to cash in on the sincerity or the belief that somebody has in you," says Mr Crampton. "So you're counting on sincerity to bail you out."
Classic examples include the US airline JetBlue chief executive apologising for chaos and long delays during a winter storm or the chief executive of KFC Malaysia apologising for an incident in which a customer was assaulted by a member of staff in one of its branches.
The success or failure of marketing strategies on social media are crucial. "Nowadays it's fundamental," says Mr Crampton. "Social media is where we spend a huge portion of our lives - on Facebook, Twitter, or WeChat. And the ability of a company to engage in those media is key for them as a brand."
The days where marketing could look at social media as merely 'nice to have' are over. And playing with the trust of your audience tends to not turn out well. In fact, even if you wanted to do that, it gets harder and harder with people getting more and more savvy in spotting your ploy.
Indeed, there was quite a bit of mockery and ridicule for those who did in fact fall for Dave's Twitter saga.
Hart, 30, conceded two free-kicks against Scotland on Saturday and will not feature in Tuesday's friendly against France in Paris.
When asked who was his current number one, Southgate said: "Joe Hart. In the games we've had, he's been excellent.
"That said, I don't want anyone to feel completely comfortable."
Hart once again looked uncertain as Scotland's Leigh Griffiths scored both Scotland goals in Saturday's World Cup qualifier.
Southgate will give 45 minutes each to Burnley's Tom Heaton and Stoke City keeper Jack Butland in Tuesday's friendly with France in Paris, something that was always planned and not a reaction to Hart's performance in the 2-2 draw at Hampden Park.
Southgate added: "We go into next season and we don't know who will be playing at which club or who will be in form.
"In the games we've had, Joe has been excellent for us. The two goals he let in on Saturday were the first two he'd let in in this qualifying campaign.
"We owe him the point from Slovenia after one of the best saves I've ever seen and his contribution around the group in the time I've been manager has been excellent.
"But we want competition for places and it's good we've got other players in all positions pushing for places."
Southgate revealed Hart will have examined his performance against Scotland, and the concession of those two late goals, in fine detail.
He said: "He would have looked back at that with our goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson and myself. All of the coaching staff would go through that, as we would with all the other areas of the game.
"There are always things you can learn."
Southgate has plenty of options - with Sunderland's Jordan Pickford set to push his claims for England in the forthcoming European Under-21 Championship, while Southampton's Fraser Forster is in France.
Forster was disappointed to be the odd goalkeeper out in Southgate's selection and the England manager said: "I know he's travelled quite a bit and not had the number of matches he'd have liked.
"It's very difficult. I was conscious of Nigel Martyn doing the same when he was with England.
"We've got these four guys, Jordan Pickford, and a couple of others who come into the equation but I wanted Fraser to be part of this squad in June.
"He is close. I've had to make a decision about this game, and I can't make him feel any better other than show him respect and communicate with him. But there's no reason any of those guys can't push into the number one spot."
Heaton and Buckland will get their chance to impress on Tuesday, with Southgate saying: "Tom has had an outstanding season at Burnley not only in terms of what we've seen, but statistically he's probably the highest performing English goalkeeper in the league this year. His character around the place is excellent.
"With Jack, I worked with him at under-21 level and I went to an Under-20 World Cup with him and an Under-21 Euros.
"I know his mentality and the strength he has. I'm looking forward to seeing both of them against France. It's a special moment for Tom to start against France and for plenty of others."
Southgate added: "Players have got to play their way into that sort of situation to contend for the number one position.
"I know Jack is a goalkeeper of high potential and I have huge belief that Tom wants that position as well. Let's see what they do next season with their clubs and the way they perform each week.
"Jack's experience is as good as any other young goalkeeper in terms of an English goalkeeper. He's played in the Olympics as well, so a great international pathway.
"At the moment, Joe has been excellent and there's good competition for places."
The 23-year-old was arrested in the Newtownabbey area on suspicion of theft.
A car and eight dogs taken from the Parkmore area of Craigavon on Saturday night.
Police said the puppies have been returned to their owner.
The victim was threatened with a knife near RAF Marham in Norfolk on 20 July.
Attempts were also made to pull him into a car but he managed to fight the men off, headbutting one of them.
Norfolk Police has released the images a week on from the attack. The force says it is possible the suspects were part of a "larger team".
Live: Follow updates on this story
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.
Officers were called after the victim was approached by two men while he was out jogging near the RAF base.
Police said he was on a route used regularly by personnel at the base, but was wearing headphones at the time so did not hear what the first attacker said to him.
He managed to wrestle the man to the ground - possibly leaving the suspect with a black eye - before a second man, armed with the knife, tried to attack him.
The suspects then fled in a dark-coloured people carrier, which police are still trying to trace.
"We know that our victim is a member of RAF personnel and we are still investigating how much relevance this was to his attempted abduction," Det Supt Paul Durham said.
"It is probable that there would have been a degree of planning involved and in order to achieve this, it is quite possible that there was at least one other person involved."
He added there had been "no change" on how likely terrorism was seen as being a motive.
"There's still no credible evidence that supports that but equally I can't discount it," he said.
The liquidators of oldco Rangers were granted leave to appeal to the court over a ruling that the use of Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs) broke tax rules.
Rangers used the scheme from 2001 until 2010 to give millions of pounds of tax-free loans to players and other staff.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) lost two tribunals before judges agreed these were salary payments subject to tax.
The decision was in relation to Murray Group companies, including the liquidated company RFC 2012 - formerly The Rangers Football Club PLC.
It has no impact on the current owners at Ibrox.
However, liquidators BDO were allowed to appeal as the ruling has implications for future cases.
The Supreme Court judges will deliver their binding verdict, which will be screened live on its website, at 09:45 on 5 July.
Vincent Waddington, 18, was found with serious gunshot wounds after a crash between a car and a scrambler bike in Banks Road, Garston, on 14 July.
He was taken to hospital where his death was confirmed.
Ryan Bate has also been charged with attempted wounding. He is being held in custody and is due to appear before Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Merseyside Police have made a number of arrests as part of their investigation.
But stand-off Danny Cipriani missed a chance to win it for the home side when he failed with a last-minute penalty.
The recalled Cipriani had kept the home side ahead in the game, kicking four first-half penalties before adding a further three points after the break.
But Newcastle were well worth the draw, thanks to tries in each half from props Rob Vickers and Jon Welsh.
After Mike Delany sandwiched a penalty between two early Cipriani penalties, Newcastle went in front when Vickers went over on 24 minutes.
But two more Cipriani penalties in the final five minutes of the first half restored the home side's lead by the interval.
Cipriani added a further three points to send Sale 15-8 up but, on the sort of day made for prop forwards, Welsh matched team-mate Vickers' first-half try when he crashed over 10 minutes from time, Tom Catterick adding the extras.
England number 10 Cipriani then had the chance to win it for Sale, but the wind sent his kick swirling just wide.
Newcastle's two points for the draw leaves London Irish as the only Premiership team without a point this season.
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond:
"Let's be honest, we should have kicked the goal at the end to win the game. We should have kicked the goal against Harlequins to win the game so we're six points off where we should be.
"With what's happening at the moment, where people want to go to so-called super clubs, we should be in the top three.
"We've got to look at that and go again. We've got to go to Gloucester, a difficult place to go on a Friday night, and get something out of it.
"We're a good team, with a good set of lads and we're better than that, which is the disappointment. They know, in no uncertain terms. if you want to be in the top four or top six you've got to win your home games."
Newcastle director of rugby Dean Richards:
"You could either say it was two points won or two points lost. Probably the latter. It was disappointing in some respects but, when you bear in mind the conditions and the fact we scored two tries, I was pleased.
"I was pleased with the enthusiasm and the commitment. Sometimes we made some judgement errors but in conditions like that you're going to.
"On the whole I was pleased with the boys, even though there were some mixed emotions. I was disappointed they didn't get the four points, but happy they got two."
"The referees have to get it right on a week-by-week basis. They don't get it right quite often and it has a massive impact on the way the game unfolds. Thankfully, Danny didn't get his kick at the end but there were three big decisions that I felt weren't right on the day."

The Tories said David Cameron emerged "clearly ahead" as the best person to lead the UK but Labour said Ed Miliband had staked out an "alternative vision".
The SNP's Nicola Sturgeon has been praised for an "impressive" performance by some senior Conservatives.
Seven million people watched the two-hour debate on ITV.
In the most high-profile event of the campaign so far, the seven politicians - also including the leaders of the Lib Dems, UKIP, the Green Party and Plaid Cymru - were questioned on a range of issues including the NHS, immigration and the deficit.
In other post-debate developments:
The party leaders have returned to the campaign trail in the wake of Thursday's encounter - the only time before polling day on 7 May that Mr Cameron and Mr Miliband will share a stage.
During the debate, the Conservative and Labour leaders locked horns over spending cuts, management of the economy, and standards of care in the NHS.
Mr Miliband vowed to "save" the NHS from the Conservatives, claiming David Cameron had "broken his bond of trust", while Mr Cameron said the Conservatives' economic plan was working and Labour would take the country "back to square one".
As the dust settled on the encounter, both the Conservatives and Labour suggested their man had come out ahead.
"The overall impression people will have got is if you want to look and say 'who is the best person to lead the country over the next five years', David Cameron will have come out clearly ahead," Mr Gove told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
But shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint suggested that Mr Cameron had "faded".
"Given that David Cameron designed and demanded this debate... he didn't seize the opportunity to make his case... At the end of the day there was one alternative prime minister to David Cameron and that was Ed Miliband."
Amid suggestions of a hung Parliament and possible coalitions and deals after the election, commentators have said that the debates made the British political system look very different from the traditional two or three-party set-up.
Both the Conservatives and Labour conceded that the three parties appearing in a national debate for the first time - the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Green Party - could have benefited the most from the primetime exposure.
Ms Sturgeon, Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood and Green leader Natalie Bennett all argued against austerity.
The SNP leader signalled areas, such as on tax, where she could work with Labour but said getting more SNP MPs elected to Westminster was needed to "keep them honest".
Speaking in Edinburgh on Friday, Ms Sturgeon said she had made the case for a "progressive change" in Scotland and across the UK.
The SNP, she suggested, could work with Labour to "lock" the Conservatives out of power but also make sure Labour did "sell out its values" in government.
Mr Gove said the SNP leader had done "very well".
"I think it is also legitimate to say Nicola Sturgeon emerged as the most impressive debutante on the stage," he said.
Labour have suggested it is in the Conservatives' interests to talk up the SNP, as the more seats they win in Scotland, the less likely the chances of Labour getting a majority.
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said Ms Sturgeon had "managed to project herself as a distinctive, articulate voice of anti-austerity in a way which we've not really had on the national stage".
But he said both Mr Cameron and Mr Miliband's supporters were "pretty pleased" as "they felt their men came through it relatively unscathed, they got over their core message, they both believed they managed to look prime ministerial…"
This issue includes EU and worldwide migration, border controls and rules on work and benefits.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Other notable clashes during the debate came between David Cameron and Nick Clegg on schools funding and between Mr Clegg and Mr Farage over immigration.
Speaking on Friday, Mr Clegg said it was clear politics was becoming more "fragmented" and no longer a "game of pass the parcel" between the Conservatives and Labour.
"I actually think that most people watching last night will have realised no-one's going to win this election outright so it's all about who's going to work with whom," he said.
Mr Farage was attacked by his opponents after highlighting the number of foreign nationals with HIV whom he said were treated by the NHS.
But the party's immigration spokesman Steven Woolfe said the debate had been a "resounding success" for Mr Farage because he had been "straight-talking, honest and had set out commonsense policies for leading Britain and putting Britain's interests first".
Snap polls taken after the debate gave a mixed verdict.
A YouGov poll of 1,100 people gave a clear victory to the SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, with 28%, followed by UKIP leader Nigel Farage on 20%, Mr Cameron on 18%, Mr Miliband on 15%, Mr Clegg on 10%, Green Party leader Natalie Bennett on 5% and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood on 4%.
But a ComRes poll for ITV made it a dead heat between Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband, Mr Farage and Ms Sturgeon, although Mr Cameron came out on top on the question of who was most capable of leading the country.
Mr Miliband was judged best performer in an ICM poll for the Guardian, taking 25% of support, just ahead of David Cameron on 24%.
This issue includes NHS funding, GP access and social care, particularly of older people.
The seven-way debate emerged from tortuous negotiations between the parties and the broadcasters, with Mr Cameron refusing a direct head-to-head with Mr Miliband.
The Democratic Unionist Party, which has eight MPs, has criticised its exclusion from the programme.
A question-and-answer programme featuring Mr Cameron and Mr Miliband appearing separately was hosted by Channel 4 and Sky News last week, and a BBC debate involving opposition party leaders, moderated by David Dimbleby, will be broadcast on 16 April.
There will also be a special Question Time on BBC One, a week before polling day, with Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Mr Clegg appearing one after the other to answer questions from a studio audience.

Boufal, 22, scored 11 goals last season to help Lille finish fifth in Ligue 1 and qualify for the Europa League.
Southampton's previous transfer record was the £15m they paid Roma for forward Dani Osvaldo in 2013.
"I can see that this club is the best place for me to continue my progression as a footballer," Boufal said.
Les Reed, the club's executive director of football, said: "We are extremely confident he will successfully adapt to life in the Premier League.
"Sofiane is a player we have watched develop closely over the last few years, and we're thrilled to have him join the club. We're delighted that Sofiane sees Southampton as the best place for him to continue his development."
But he added the player would be some weeks away from a first-team appearance while he gets up to match fitness.
Boufal, who has signed a five-year contract, is the latest summer arrival as new manager Claude Puel shapes his team following several departures.
The Frenchman replaced Ronald Koeman in June after the Dutch manager left to join Everton.
Sadio Mane, Victor Wanyama and Graziano Pelle all left the Saints during the summer for combined fees of £57m.
Southampton spent £10m to sign Nathan Redmond from Norwich City while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg arrived for £12m from Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile full back Jeremy Pied, a summer signing from Nice, says he needs an operation on a knee ligament injury.
The 27-year-old told his Twitter followers: "I can confirm the bad news for my knee - I need an operation.
"It's hard to digest but it's a trial to overcome. I'm determined to give all my energy to come back as soon as possible on the pitch."

Roy, 24, was the leading T20 Blast run-scorer with 677 at an average of 48.35 and a strike rate of almost 160.
But he needed an X-ray to show his right thumb was not broken batting against New Zealand A on Sunday.
All-rounder Ravi Bopara, seamer Tim Bresnan and batsman James Taylor are also called up.
South Africa-born Roy, who played for England Lions in this summer's triangular series against Sri Lanka A and New Zealand A, made his first-class debut for Surrey in 2010.
Bopara and Bresnan have been limited-overs regulars for England in recent years, but were left out of the one-day squad currently playing India.
Uncapped in T20 internationals, Nottinghamshire's Taylor has played in two ODIs, both against Ireland, and in two Tests against South Africa in 2012, but has not featured in an England squad for a year.
However, he will not join up with the squad if Notts' One-Day Cup semi-final on Saturday 6 September is affected by the weather and goes into Sunday's reserve day.
Also in the squad is all-rounder Chris Woakes, who has been handed an incremental England contract, for which players can qualify via a points-based appearance system.
Eoin Morgan will lead the side in the absence of T20 captain Stuart Broad, who will have surgery on his right knee this week, but there is no place for batsmen Ian Bell or Michael Carberry who played in England's last T20 game against Sri Lanka in May.
India have named the same squad that is currently on duty in the one-day series.
England T20 squad: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex, capt), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire, wk), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Harry Gurney (Nottinghamshire), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), James Taylor (Nottinghamshire), James Tredwell (Kent), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire).
India T20 squad: Mahendra Dhoni (capt & wk), Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Stuart Binny, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Umesh Yadav, Dhawal Kulkarni, Sanju Samson (wk), Karn Sharma.
Stewart Hosie and Angus MacNeil were reported by a Tory MSP over allegations they claimed expenses for accommodation while carrying out the affairs.
Westminster's Commissioner for Standards has decided not to look further into the claims.
Mr Hosie is to step down as SNP deputy leader in the autumn.
The commissioner, Kathryn Hudson, ruled that there was no basis for an inquiry, and that there was no evidence beyond the claims contained in a complaint letter from MSP Jackson Carlaw.
A spokesman for the SNP said the party was not surprised by the commissioner's decision not to investigate Mr Carlaw's complaint.
He added: "It was a political stunt and a hypocritical move given the long and proven history of Tory MPs abusing the expenses system, as well as the current police investigations into the Tory party for election fraud.
"Jackson Carlaw would do better to ensure his own party is acting in line with parliamentary rules rather than playing politics with people's private lives."
A spokesman for the Scottish Conservatives said: "We respect the decision of the Standards Commissioner.
"Our view is it is right to question such cases to ensure that public funds are always used in support of parliamentary duties."
Mr Hosie and Mr MacNeil were both reported to have had affairs with journalist Serena Cowdy.
Mr MacNeil was said to have stayed with Ms Cowdy at the Park Plaza hotel in London, and then claimed for the room on expenses.
Ms Cowdy is reported to have later been involved in a relationship with SNP deputy leader Mr Hosie, who recently separated from his wife, SNP MSP Shona Robison.
Adrian Derbyshire, who shared photos of his dying daughter Julia in hospital to raise awareness, said abuse began after she spoke about her sexuality.
Instead of celebrating her 18th birthday last week, "I ended up putting roses on her grave", he said.
He said there should be more education in school about online bullying.
"I wouldn't want any other parent to go through what I am going through at the moment," Mr Derbyshire, from Warrington, Cheshire, told the BBC.
He started a campaign to offer "support against self harm and suicide" - referred to as "Sassy" - after Julia's death.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme he said the bullying started after Julia, then aged 13 and living in the US state of Missouri, spoke to a friend about her sexuality and the friend went on to tell the school.
Julia was abused physically, psychologically and online, he said, and returned to the UK to live with him in the last two years of her life.
He said she developed mental health problems from the bullying and she returned to the websites and the forums where the bullying had taken place.
"She wanted to convince them she was a great person... she just wanted to be loved and she wanted to be accepted."
Julia died aged 16 in October 2015 - five days after attempting to take her own life.
Coroners recorded a narrative verdict at the inquest into her death.
Mr Derbyshire said he has spoken to more than 200,000 children in the last two years about his experience.
But, he said, he wanted to "up the ante" by posting the photos on what would have been Julia's 18th birthday and "provide something that would shock them, to make them sit up, to make people talk at the kitchen table and so we can kind of get this awareness out there a little bit more".
"It was a very difficult decision to take the picture, never mind to release it," he said.
"It's been on my phone for the past 16 months just buried in there."
He said there should be more education in school about online bullying and mental health to "try and protect our children as much as possible because it's unacceptable what's going on".
The former Everton striker clipped into an empty net in the 13th minute before slotting in a second on the stroke of half-time as the Shakers made it four wins in a row.
Bury deserved their early lead when Hope, returning to the starting XI after two games on the bench, pounced on teenage Will Henry's parry from Jacob Mellis' header.
Swindon were then left furious when linesman Mark Griffiths ruled out Jon Obika's 'equaliser' for offside, over a minute after referee Charles Breakspear had signalled for a goal.
On the stroke of half-time, Hope took his season tally to three when he seized on Sean Murray's horror pass to knock past Raphael Rossi Branco and slide into the bottom corner.
Obika got his goal, his first of the campaign, in the 64th minute with a sweeping strike on the turn after James Brophy's cross but Bury moved to a fifth game without defeat.

Adam Higgins, 48, of Maypole Close, Saffron Walden, was arrested by Essex Police in September last year after a tip off from the National Crime Agency.
At the time he was working as an inspector for Ofsted. He was suspended from his role and later resigned.
He admitted two counts of making indecent images of children.
Appearing at Chelmsford Crown Court, Higgins also pleaded guilty to one charge of inciting a boy aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity.
Det Insp Daniel Stoten, from Essex Police, said:"This man held a position of trust which makes the fact that he was making indecent images of children and grooming a young boy online even more despicable."
Higgins was put on the sex offenders register indefinitely and was made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order.
HM Chief Inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw said: "As Ofsted's chief inspector, I share the sense of revulsion at the thought that an individual trusted with improving the education of young people has behaved in this way.
"While the police have confirmed that there is no reason to believe any pupils at the schools he inspected were at risk during his inspection visits, we have liaised closely with the schools and local authority areas in which Mr Higgins worked and will continue to do so over any concerns they may have.
"While this is a deeply shocking case and a matter of profound regret, we believe we did everything we could to check his background. It serves as a reminder of the need for continual vigilance when it comes to safeguarding children."

Marcus Berg put Panathinaikos ahead in the third minute, but former Leicester midfielder Esteban Cambiasso equalised seven minutes before half-time.
Manuel da Costa put the hosts in front on 87 minutes and ex-West Brom striker Brown Ideye made it 3-1 on 89.
Olympiakos had sealed their 43rd title last month with six games to spare.
Sergio Cabral served two terms as Rio state governor from 2007 to 2014.
He was accused of received kickbacks from construction firms in return for awarding them lucrative contracts, such as a petrochemical plant in Rio.
Judge Sergio Moro said there was not enough evidence to convict Cabral's wife Adriana Ancelmo.
Cabral was detained in November as part of Operation Car Wash, a huge corruption investigation which has resulted in the arrest of a long list of high-ranking politicians and influential business people in Brazil.
Cabral is a member of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party of President Michel Temer, who is also under investigation for alleged corruption.
Judge Moro said the former governor had taken 2.7m reais ($813,000; £638,000) in bribes.
The judge said the money had not yet been found and that he suspected Cabral had transferred it before his accounts were blocked.
The former interior minister for Rio state, Wilson Carlos Carvalho, was also found guilty of corruption and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He was Cabral's right-hand man while he was in office.
Bruce Adamson said the device at Hamilton Central Station was a breach of children's rights.
ScotRail said it had taken the step as a result of anti-social behaviour.
It follows protests by the RMT union, who said staff were in fear after a "surge in violence" at the station.
The electronic device, often referred to as a "mosquito", is used to deter loitering by emitting sound at high frequencies that is mostly heard by younger people.
It was installed at Hamilton Central a fortnight ago after a protest by the rail union, the RMT, who said their members were the victims of anti-social behaviour at the station.
In a leaflet handed out to passengers in June, the union said: "Workers at this railway station are under direct fear of violence and other variations of assault whilst just turning up for work to serve you."
However, Children's Commissioner Mr Adamson said he would be raising the issue directly with ScotRail.
He added: "International human rights bodies, and my office, have long called for these devices to be banned.
"The use of such devices is a breach of children's rights to go about their lives free from discrimination in a healthy and safe way when they use public transport, visit shops or meet their friends.
"These devices are a disproportionate and degrading approach that acts without discrimination, causing discomfort to any children and young people who encounter them."
Amy Lee Fraioli, chair of the Scottish Youth Parliament, said she had first-hand experience of the device at Hamilton.
She told BBC Radio Scotland's Kaye Adams programme: "I discovered the device the other night when I was actually waiting on a train at Hamilton Station, which had been delayed.
"I was waiting there for over 20 minutes and the noise was absolutely torturous. It makes young people feel as if their presence is nothing other than a nuisance and that's obviously not the case.
"It's so uncomfortable. It's really high pitched. It starts to give you a sore head when you're standing there.
"It got to the point that I was ready to leave the train station, when the train came. It was unbearable."
She added: "A lot of young people pass through that station to get to work and university or school and they'll be affected by this and they're not doing anything wrong at all apart from going about their daily business, which is their right."
ScotRail said there was "minimal" use of the device and that it was controlled by a small number of staff. A similar device has also been installed at Helensburgh Station.
A spokesman added: "The safety of our staff and customers is always our number one priority.
"We are committed to working with all our partners to make the station as safe as it can be.
"As part of this multi-agency approach we have introduced a suite of measures to tackle anti-social behaviour and since these have been put in place there has been a significant reduction in incidents in and around the station."

Wildlife presenter Iolo Williams has been to the island for the BBC2 Autumnwatch programme on Thursday to help some of the birds trapped in the debris, which ends up floating on the sea's surface.
The island is home to 40,000 gannets but because they gather nesting material from the surface of the sea it tends to be plastics - from fishing nets to bits of polythene and parcel ties.
Iolo speaks to BBC Radio Wales' Oliver Hides
Replying to the Proteas' 313, England were wobbling at 22-2 and 91-4.
But Root combined with Ben Stokes to counter-attack in a fifth-wicket stand of 111 made at a rate of seven an over.
After Stokes fell for 58, Root moved to three figures and was 106 not out when bad light and rain ended day two 80 minutes early with England 238-5.
What made the effort of Root and Stokes all the more outstanding was its contrast to the rest of the England batting, as the majority of the top order struggled on a lively pitch against a hostile South Africa attack.
As England teetered, they responded by flaying the Proteas to all parts of the Bullring to give the tourists, 1-0 up in the four-match series, every chance of earning a first-innings lead.
When James Taylor inside-edged Morne Morkel to short leg, England were 222 behind with six first-innings wickets remaining in conditions that seemed perilous for batting.

Stokes was almost hit on the jaw by Morkel from the second ball he faced, but when he hooked his fifth ball from Kagiso Rabada for six, it began an exhilarating passage of play.
The South Africa bowlers, previously rampant, were left short of ideas, just as they were when Stokes plundered 258 in the second Test in Cape Town.
Root scored all around, with cuts, pulls and some flowing straight drives, while Stokes whipped off his pads, slashed through third man and played one disdainful lofted drive off Morkel that encapsulated England's dominance.
Morkel would have his revenge, holding Stokes' leading edge off his own bowling, but Root completed his century with a wonderful cover drive and had added 36 with Jonny Bairstow at more than five an over when the weather intervened.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan: "It's been a masterclass in how to grab control of a situation and change the course of a Test match in an hour and a half. The South African attack were looking at each other as if they were wondering who wanted to bowl.
"There's not many teams who can play like this. There's a bit of genius about it. Ben Stokes has got a Gilchrist and Sobers-like ability to change a match."
Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith: "What a knock from Joe Root. He's looked a class above on this surface, with energy and intensity. He's pounced on anything loose."
Ex-England batsman Geoffrey Boycott: "At times England were scoring 10 an over. Stokes is a game-changer. And at the opposite end, Root was playing magnificently. He's got the lot and batted beautifully."
England batsman Joe Root: "I'm very pleased at the moment but you'll have to ask to me at the end of the game to get a true reflection on it. Any sort of lead will be important because it will be close encounter. Whether that be 50, 100 or 20, edging in front is our goal."
That England were in peril was partly down to the imposing presence of Hardus Viljoen, the towering pace bowler on debut.
Viljoen had Alastair Cook caught down the leg side from his very first delivery in Test cricket, becoming only the 20th bowler in the history of the game to strike with his first ball.
Not only that, but Viljoen hit the first ball he faced with the bat for four. New Zealander Matt Henderson, against England in 1930, is the only other Test cricketer to complete such a double.
Viljoen was 20 not out when Morkel was the last to fall, edging Stokes to first slip. That too was Stokes' first delivery after coming on midway through an over because James Anderson had to be removed from the attack after running on the pitch.
Viljoen's dismissal of Cook came as both England openers fell cheaply and in familiar circumstances.
Alex Hales slashed Rabada to second slip with a flat-footed drive, while Cook's edge down the leg side, often seen as unlucky, is happening often enough to suggest the captain might have a problem.
Nick Compton was dropped at second slip on six but edged Rabada to the same place 20 runs later, while Taylor bat-padded Morkel to be well held by Temba Bavuma.
England were in danger of being rolled over. Then came the Root and Stokes blitz.

The final senior major of the season sees Paul Broadhurst looking to defend his title after becoming the first Englishman to win the Senior Open at Carnoustie last year.
The event begins on Thursday, 27 July and ends on Sunday, 30 July.
In arguably the strongest field assembled for a Senior Open, there are nine former Ryder Cup captains and 30 former players appearing in South Wales.
In total, the tournament will feature 15 major champions with 31 victories between them. In addition, there are 17 Senior major champions with a combined 39 titles among the 144 players in the field.
Former Ryder Cup player Broadhurst faces stiff competition, primarily from nine-time Senior major champion Bernhard Langer, who is looking to set a new record of 10 senior major victories as he returns to a Porthcawl where he has enjoyed splendid success.
Langer, a victorious Ryder Cup captain, won by 13 shots in 2014 when Porthcawl last staged the Senior Open.
Fellow former European captains Sir Nick Faldo, Paul McGinley, Colin Montgomerie and Jose María Olazabal also feature.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Montgomerie, the captain of Europe when Wales staged the Ryder Cup in 2010, says winning the Senior Open is his "number one target," this year.
The Scot finished second behind Langer at Porthcawl in the 2014 Senior Open and was also second in the 2005 Open at St Andrews.
Since turning 50 in 2013, Montgomerie has claimed three Senior Tour majors but the Senior Open remains elusive.
Another victorious European skipper, Ian Woosnam, leads the charge for Wales alongside compatriot and 2002 Ryder Cup hero Phillip Price, who competes in his first Senior Open. Mark Mouland and Stephen Dodd will also bid to become the first Welsh winner since Brian Huggett in 1998.
Former USA Ryder Cup Captains Tom Lehman, Corey Pavin and Tom Watson all return. The trio have 10 major championships and nine senior major victories between them.
Fred Couples, Masters champion in 1992, and John Daly, a two-time major winner, are also representing the US, with Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez also likely to be a contender, as he was in Carnoustie in 2016.

A jewel in the crown for Welsh golf, Royal Porthcawl is a course Welsh Government economy minister Ken Skates wants to see considered as a potential future Open venue.
However, being a picturesque course celebrating a birthday of 122 is both a blessing and a curse, with many questioning if Porthcawl has the infrastructure in place to cope with the demand of hosting an Open championship.
Close to 250,000 attended this year's event at Birkdale, far in excess of the 43,503 spectators who attended the 2014 Senior Open at Porthcawl.
However, when it comes to player satisfaction, there can be little doubt that Porthcawl ticks all boxes.
"From the first hole on, it was just one great hole after another and one great green complex after another. I really fell in love with it immediately. It's a great golf course," Tom Watson says of Porthcawl.

"It is an elegant links course which has everything to offer the links golfer. The complete package," the five-time Open winner added.
Montgomerie agrees. "I was taken aback at how undulating it was for a links course and how good it was. I was very, very impressed," he said.
"It is a very solid golf course and one you have to be extremely careful of. You can get the odd lucky bounce, but you can't be lucky for four days.
"I enjoyed playing it. It was a course full of character and I put it in the same category as Turnberry and Royal Birkdale. Let's also hope the weather plays its part again.
"I think it's a very underrated and underplayed golf course."
He initially said he had no idea who Dyab Abou Jahjah was, but later said he must have forgotten meeting him in 2009.
Mr Abou Jahjah is banned from the UK over his views on the Middle East.
Mr Corbyn said he met "many thousands of people" and that "doesn't mean that I share their views". He also rejected "disgusting" claims he is anti-Semitic.
Leadership rival Liz Kendall said Mr Corbyn had "questions to answer" about his approach to achieving peace in the Middle East.
It comes as the Labour Party said it had made legal checks to ensure its leadership contest was complying with the law, and to try to avoid challenges to the result.
Responding on Twitter to Mr Corbyn's claim not to know him, pro-Palestinian activist Mr Abou Jahjah said it was "beyond any doubt" the pair had shared a platform.
"But maybe he forgot all about it," added Mr Abou Jahjah. "Who knows?"
Mr Abou Jahjah told LBC radio he had also been present at meals with the MP during the 2009 visit.
"We had, I think two times, lunch or breakfast together, so I cannot say that Mr Corbyn is a personal friend, but he is absolutely a political friend."
The Lebanese-born activist, who is based in Belgium, founded the Arab European League and is now president of Movement X, which works "for a society of radical equality".
Mr Abou Jahjah reportedly told a Flemish magazine in 2004 that he considered "every dead American, British and Dutch soldier a victory".
Writing on his blog, Mr Abou Jahjah said this was a misrepresentation of his long-held belief that "every soldier taking part in an illegal occupation is a legitimate target for resistance".
He also denied being anti-Semitic, adding: "I am indeed a supporter of a one-state solution in Palestine in the line of the South African dismantling of the apartheid state."
Mr Corbyn addressed the same anti-war meeting as Mr Abou Jahjah on 3 March 2009.
Asked whether he had met Mr Abou Jahjah, Mr Corbyn initially told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme: "No. I saw the name this morning and I asked somebody, 'Who is he?"'
He added: "I'm sorry, I don't know who this person is."
But Mr Corbyn later issued a statement saying: "My staff have researched this and tell me that I did meet this man in 2009, but I have no recollection of him."
He was also questioned about alleged anti-Semitic comments by his supporters on social media.
He said the idea he was racist or anti-Semitic was "disgusting" and "deeply offensive".
"Until my dying day, I will be opposed to racism in any form," he said.
Pressed to explain why he had called Palestinian militant group Hamas "friends" during a meeting in Parliament, Mr Corbyn said he had been trying to start a dialogue to help bring about peace in the Middle East.
He said the remark had been "taken quite seriously out of context by a lot of people".
He added that he had used the word as "diplomatic language in a meeting".
Mr Corbyn is one of four candidates standing to be Labour leader in a party vote, the results of which will be announced on 12 September.
The other contenders are Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Ms Kendall.
The Sark First group approached the court in July seeking "a more proportional system of representation" on the island.
But the ECHR said the application was "unanimously declared as inadmissible".
Sark First said it was in "no way disheartened".
Sark First was set up in October 2014 with the aim of replacing the current structure with an alternative electoral system.
Sark is run by Chief Pleas - made up of 28 Conseillers, a president and the seigneur, a hereditary title.
The group said it aimed to put "an end to the divisions that are tearing the island apart".
But, the ECHR said the group's concern relating to fairness of the electoral system was "manifestly ill-founded".
It also said in relation to the group's complaint that the electoral system "discriminates against those holding minority viewpoints", that the group had "not provided any precise definition of what constitutes a minority viewpoint" and it was "similarly manifestly ill-founded".
The ECHR added that in Sark there were no formal political parties, and with an electorate of just under 500, designing a "proportional system would prove difficult".
Despite the rejections, Sark First said: "Sark is still not working and we will not rest until the introduction of a system of real democratic change that allows for the true representation of all residents."

Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States, Britain has voted to leave the European Union and a galaxy of rock and pop stars have left us to join the great gig in the sky.
Saturday, 26 September 2015 - the last time Wales beat England and a turning point for the fortunes of both teams.
The intervening time has seen the old rivals set on contrasting trajectories.
England have lost only once since Wales' heroic rearguard action at Twickenham in that fateful World Cup pool match - their very next game against Australia.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The 28-25 win, however, remains the recent high water mark for Wales.
In the 505 days that have followed, Wales have lost to England three times, New Zealand three times, Australia twice, South Africa once and drawn with Ireland.
And after 505 days this game came down to the last five minutes.
England's nail-biting, nerve-shredding 21-16 victory in the maelstrom of sound and light of Cardiff's Principality Stadium took their winning run under Eddie Jones to 16 matches.
For Wales coach Rob Howley, the knowledge that his team had produced their best 75 minutes of this season was scant consolation when England won the match in the final five minutes.
"It was an outstanding Test match," said Howley.
"International games are won in the last 10 minutes, where composure, discipline and execution come under pressure.
"We just couldn't get a foothold in the last 10 minutes and when we did we didn't execute as effectively as we would want to.

"We haven't got over the finish line today and we've lost, but it's been a fantastic performance apart from the last six or seven minutes.
"Ultimately we've made a couple of errors in the last 10 minutes."
There were three incidents which stood out.
Wales lost a key line-out after Dan Biggar had saved a certain try with an interception and kick down field that resulted in eventual match-winner Elliot Daly conceding a throw-in on England's 22.
The second came with less than eight minutes remaining when Alex Cuthbert - in for the injured George North - coughed-up possession as Wales tried to run down the clock deep in England's territory.

The third, and most damaging, was Jonathan Davies' miss-hit clearance kick after Wales had turned over English possession deep in their own 22 with less than four minutes remaining.
George Ford fielded, England attacked down the left flank and Daly outstripped Cuthbert for the winning touchdown.
Cue wild celebrations and choruses of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.
It was salt in the wounds of crestfallen home fans.
They were the three moments which, after Wales' most impressive display of the season, meant the difference between success and failure.
Key moments which England's confident, winning side needed to stay on course for a second successive Grand Slam.

Cool heads in the heat of battle. The difference between winners and losers.
The target for Wales now will be channelling their improved form and disappointment of defeat into a match against a resurgent Scotland at Murrayfield on 25 February.
The passing of time will mean something to the Scots who have not beaten Wales since 2007.
For Wales and Howley and the ever-admirable Alun Wyn Jones, it's about recovering from the disappointment.
North is confident he will be fit to face the Scots as both teams will have had two weeks rest after Wales' six-day turnaround between the win over Italy and facing England.
"The quality is how you bounce back," said Howley.
"The changing room wasn't a very pleasant place to be, but you have to bottle that feeling as a player and as a coach and we'll try and learn from those last 10 minutes and it will be better up at Murrayfield."
As Howley said, it is in the final knockings - when legs are heavy and minds muddled with fatigue - that games are won and lost.
Wales, England and undoubtedly Scotland, certainly know that.
England 25-28 Wales on 26 September, 2015 was a match lost by the team that should have won.
Wales 16-21 England on 11 February, 2017 was a game won by the team that arguably should have lost.
It's the same thing really, apart from the colour of the shirts of the winning team and the set of supporters with that empty feeling.
That winning habit - makes all the difference

By the end of 2014 all foreign troops are set to leave Afghanistan, one of the biggest things to happen in the country's recent history, and there are many doubts about what will happen.
For "Children of Kabul - An Uncertain Future" Nel has been finding out how life has changed since British and US troops invaded in 2001 and what kids in Afghanistan think about the future.
The leader of the new grouping said the split was happening because the party's leadership had "annihilated the achievements" of the 10-year civil war which ended in 2006.
The break-up comes as Nepal is still struggling to implement a peace deal since the end of the war.
Correspondents say it will push the country into more uncertainty.
Parliament dissolved in chaos last month after repeatedly failing to agree a new constitution. National elections are due in November.
One of the breakaway faction leaders, Khadga Bahadur Bishwakarma, said the new party was opposed to Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, who led the Maoists in war and carried them to elected power in 2008.
"When we entered into peace, there was a challenge to retain the party's revolutionary spirit," Mr Bishwakarma said.
"Until a couple of years ago, Prachanda was clearly allied with us, but he deviated from it. After all sorts of attempts, we concluded that there's no alternative but to form a new party."
Breakaway leader Mohan Baidhya criticised Mr Dahal and Maoist Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai for their failure to draft a new constitution and for their failure to ensure that former Maoist fighters were integrated into the army "in a respected manner".
Mr Baidhya said the unity in the party was still possible if Mr Dahal and Mr Bhattarai "rectify their past mistakes".
He also urged "revolutionary forces" to join the new party which was "a beginning of a new chapter it the country".
Mr Bishwakarma said the breakaway faction of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) would be called the Communist Party of Nepal - Maoist.
The proposal was tabled at the league's annual general meeting, with 18 of 24 National League clubs backing the move.
It means teams finishing between second and seventh place in all three National League's divisions will be involved.
Games will be one-legged, with teams in fourth and fifth hosting the seventh and sixth clubs in a qualifying round.
The winners of those matches will then move into the semi-finals before a final - at Wembley for the National League and a club ground for the North and South divisions.
Teams that finish second and third will progress straight to a semi-final at their home ground, in theory giving them an advantage as they will play one match fewer and have a home tie.
Previously in non-league's top flight, the four clubs finishing directly below the automatically promoted champions played two-legged semi-finals before a one-off final.
Four National League clubs rejected the proposal, with two more not voting.
Speaking when the plans were initially put forward, the league's chief executive Michael Tattersall said: "The format involves the same amount of matches as now. With six clubs competing, it will increase the interest levels."
Forest Green won this season's National League promotion final, beating Tranmere Rovers 3-1. at Wembley.
FC Halifax Town and Ebbsfleet United won the National League North and South finals respectively, after one-match semi-final victories.
The 80-year-old was crossing Argyle Street at the junction with Jamaica Street when he was struck by the vehicle at around 19:10 last Saturday.
He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where was treated for a head injury but how now died.
A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
The Italian, 61, who replaced Takeshi Okada in 2010, had said originally he would wait until he returned to Japan before considering his future.
Zaccheroni's side finished bottom of Group C and collected just one point.
They only managed to score twice in three games, losing 2-1 to Ivory Coast,drawing 0-0 with Greece and then going down 4-1 against Colombia on Tuesday.
Under Zaccheroni, Japan won the AFC Asian Cup in 2011, beating Australia 1-0 in the final in Qatar.
In a televised address from Cuba, Nicolas Maduro said Mr Chavez continued to be in a "delicate state".
Mr Chavez underwent his fourth cancer operation on 11 December in Cuba but suffered a respiratory infection.
The president - who has been in power since 1999 - is due to be sworn in on 10 January for another six-year term.
Mr Maduro did not give details about Mr Chavez's condition but said the latest complications were connected to the respiratory infection.

Although Mr Maduro's speech was an obvious blow for Mr Chavez's supporters, the mood in Caracas remains calm - as if people were used to bad news about the president's health.
Many residents are away for the holidays, which increases the subdued mood on the streets. But for those who are still in the city, it is business as usual, with last-minute shopping on New Year's Eve.
Opposition leaders have not yet commented on Mr Maduro's speech. But over the weekend some lawmakers asked for a more detailed medical report.
Most people say Mr Chavez's future is in God's hands. Caracas officials have cancelled the New Year celebrations and asked people to keep the president in their prayers.
"We have been informed of new complications that arose as a consequence of the respiratory infection we already knew about," he said.
"The president gave us precise instructions so that, after finishing the visit, we would tell the (Venezuelan) people about his current health condition.
"The state of health of President Chavez continues to be delicate."
He added that the treatment was "not without risk."
Mr Maduro, appearing solemn, spoke alongside Mr Chavez's eldest daughter, Rosa, his son-in-law Jorge Arreaza, and Venezuelan Attorney General Cilia Flores.
The vice-president said he would remain in Havana "for the coming hours" but did not specify how long.
Following Mr Maduro's announcement, Information Minister Ernesto Villegas appeared in a special programme on Venezuelan TV, calling on Venezuelans not to believe rumours about the president's health.
"Do not get carried away with things on Twitter, you cannot play with Commander Chavez's health, it is a matter that affects the lives of others. We must act very responsibly, particularly those of us who communicate through mass media," he said.
Late on Sunday, Mr Villegas said a government-organised New Year's Eve concert in central Caracas had been cancelled and he urged Venezuelans to pray for President Chavez.
The BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Havana says it is now three weeks since Hugo Chavez has been seen or heard from in person.
There continues to be huge secrecy surrounding his precise condition, she says.
There are also many questions about what will happen on 10 January when Mr Chavez is due to be re-inaugurated, our correspondent adds.
National Assembly head Diosdado Cabello recently said that the swearing-in ceremony would be delayed in the case of Mr Chavez's absence.
However, opposition leaders say postponing the inauguration would be unconstitutional.
The constitution states that if there is an "absolute absence" of the president, elections must be held within 30 days.
Mr Chavez has said that, should his health fail, Venezuelans should vote for Mr Maduro in fresh elections.
Officials have never disclosed the type or severity of Mr Chavez's cancer, which was first diagnosed in June 2011.
A layer of platinum is seen in ice of the same age as a known abrupt climate transition, US scientists report.
The climate flip has previously been linked to the demise of the North American "Clovis" people.
The data seem to back the idea that an impact tipped the climate into a colder phase, a point of current debate.
Rapid climate change occurred 12,900 years ago, and it is proposed that this is associated with the extinction of large mammals - such as the mammoth, widespread wildfires and rapid changes in atmospheric and ocean circulation.
All of these have previously been linked to a cosmic impact but the theory has been hotly disputed because there was a lack of clear evidence.
New platinum measurements were made on ice cores that allow conditions 13,000 years ago to be determined at a time resolution of better than five years, report Michail Petaev and colleagues from Harvard University. Their results are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A 100-fold spike in platinum concentration occurs in ice that is around 12,890 years old, at the same moment that rapid cooling of the climate is indicated from oxygen isotope measurements. This coincides with the start of a climatic period called the "Younger Dryas".
The Younger Dryas started and finished abruptly, and is one of a number of shorter periods of climate change that appear to have occurred since the last glacial maximum of 20,000 years ago.
Each end of the Younger Dryas period may have involved very rapid changes in temperature as the climate system reached a tipping point, with suggestions that dramatic changes in temperature occurred over as short as timescale as a decade or so.
The observations lend credence to earlier, disputed, reports that finds of microscopic grains of diamond and a mineral called lonsdaleite in lake sediments dated to the same time as a possible meteorite impact.
Those measurements resemble the most recent observations, reported last month, of remnants of the Tunguska meteorite impact in Siberia.
Sphere-shaped particles have also been identified in other sites' sediments, which also have been dated to this event.
While the platinum data and the spherical particles add to evidence for an impact event, doubters have pointed out that - as yet - no impact site has been identified.
It has been suggested that debris thrown into the atmosphere as a result of an impact triggered global cooling at a rate as rapid as the climate changes recorded in the past century.
Such rapid climate change makes it difficult for ecologies and societies to adjust.
It is the fluctuation that has been cited as the cause of the extinction of massive mammals like the mammoth, and native cultures such as the Clovis people in North America.
The possible role of cosmic impacts in causing huge changes to life on Earth is receiving increased attention.
The mass extinction 66 million years ago that wiped out the dinosaurs is generally believed to be linked to a space strike in southern Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
Recently, a group of scientists led by Eric Tohver at the University of Western Australia reported that the biggest extinction of all, which occurred 252.3 million years ago at the end of the Permian period, could be explained by an asteroid impact in Brazil.
Nasa is now focusing resources towards detection of future Earth-threatening asteroids.
The US space agency received more than 400 responses to their recent request for ideas to feed into their Asteroid Grand Challenge, which includes plans to redirect a space rock and send humans to study it.
The Englishman beat Xiao Guodong to reach round two of the International Championship in Daqing, China.
World number nine O'Sullivan, 40, said he is "nowhere near" the level he was two years ago.
"I haven't had any good results but that tells you where I am with my game," he said.
O'Sullivan won his sixth Masters title in January and the Welsh Open in February.
However, since then he lost in the first round of the World Grand Prix, the second round of the World Championships in April, the last 16 of the Shanghai Masters and the last 32 of English Open.
He was beaten by world number three Judd Trump in the final of the European Masters this month.
"I am not going to turn my back on the game yet," said O'Sullivan, who revealed he enjoys punditry more than playing.
"I enjoy playing but I am probably not good enough to compete with the best players in the world because they are at their peak.
"I will still keep playing and hopefully will get a result, and if I don't I am just enjoying playing."
O'Sullivan will play Kurt Maflin on Tuesday in the ranking event in Daqing, the richest tournament staged outside the UK.
There were also first-round wins for world champion Mark Selby, Trump, Ding Junhui and John Higgins on Monday, but two-time world champion Mark Williams lost to wildcard Xu Si.
India blocked the accounts last month, accusing the group of violating tax laws and working against its economic interests.
Greenpeace said the restrictions were an "attempt to silence criticism".
Earlier this month, the group said it may be forced to shut down.
It said it had only about 30 days' worth of funds with which to pay office costs and salaries.
The group called Wednesday's high court order a "lifeline" and said it would allow Greenpeace India "access to the vast majority of its existing funds".
The pressure group "vowed to restart its campaigns to reduce air pollution, protect forests and boost solar power immediately".
Greenpeace, which has been present in India for 14 years and employs 340 people, says it has been targeted because of its campaigns on issues such as pollution and harmful pesticides.
In April, while freezing its bank accounts for six months, the government accused Greenpeace of not fully declaring the amount of foreign funds it brings into the country.
In a long-running dispute India has accused the environmental group of "stalling development projects" by protesting against large infrastructure plans.
Since coming to power in May last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has cracked down on several non-governmental organisations, leading to critics accusing him of showing undemocratic tendencies.
A month ago, India cancelled the registration of nearly 9,000 foreign-funded groups, saying they did not comply with the country's tax codes.
The city council decided on Friday to shut 17 schools amid safety fears.
About 7,600 missed the first two days of the new term following the Easter break and most will not be back in class until next week.
The council has now announced that practical exams due to take place at the five high schools affected by the closure have been postponed.
Five secondaries, 10 primaries and two additional support needs schools were shut due to concerns over structural issues.
All of the schools, which are about 10 years old, were constructed under the same public private partnership contract.
Priority in returning pupils to school was given to high school students in fourth, fifth and sixth year who are preparing for key exams.
The council said in a statement on its website: "We are working closely with the SQA.
"All practical exams that were due to take place this week have been postponed and will be rearranged.
"We will update students when we have more information."
Why are the Edinburgh schools closed?
The majority of the 2,000 pupils preparing for exams at the five high schools affected resumed lessons on Wednesday.
Senior pupils from three secondaries - Drummond High, Firhill High and The Royal High School - were able to return to their usual building as they only had partial refurbishments as part of the PPP project.
Older Gracemount students were asked to report to Liberton High School, while Craigmount High pupils went to Tynecastle High School.
The council's latest update said:
There was still no word on younger pupils at Craigmount, Firhill, Gracemount and The Royal High.
Lessons resumed for pupils from two primary schools on Wednesday and arrangements are in place for pupils at three more primaries, two from Friday and one from Tuesday.
Children attending one of the additional needs support schools affected will be sent to one of five new locations from Friday, while at the other additional needs support school plans are in place for Thursday and Friday.
It is hoped plans for the remaining primaries will be in place by next Tuesday, the local authority said.
Andrew Kerr, City of Edinburgh Council chief executive, said the arrangements had been "a huge logistical exercise".
The local authority said some families who relied on free school meals had approached city food banks as a result of schools being closed.
It said money from the Scottish Welfare Fund would be made available to families in need, distributed to affected families directly, via school head teachers.
The care inspectorate is also allowing some child care providers to extend the number of youngsters they can look after during the crisis.
Fundamentally changing the way we organise our current economic model is no easy task, but European governments and some of the continent's largest companies are waking up to the fact that profound change is needed.
Radical new concepts are rarely embraced with enthusiasm, but the circular economy could be an important exception.
The reason is simple; ever-growing demand, driven by population growth and wealth creation, cannot be met by the Earth's finite natural resources.
As the European Commission's Frans Timmermans has said: "Our planet and our economy cannot survive if we continue with the 'take, make, use and throw away' approach. We need to retain precious resources and fully exploit all the economic value within them."
Our current, so-called linear, approach is unsustainable. In its place, we could adopt a more circular model, where the output of one process becomes the input to another; where the "waste" from one action becomes a resource for the next.
Indeed materials are currently classified as waste too early in the production process - perfectly good resources are simply discarded in favour of starting afresh.
By keeping these resources within the production process, a far greater value can be extracted from them.
As Ian Ellison, sustainability manager and Jaguar LandRover (JLR), says: "We have to look to nature, which has been making the most of resources and producing no waste for three billion years.
"Industrial processes have only been going 200 years and already we are bumping up against limits."
This is the essence of the circular economy, an idea that is gaining ever-greater traction as it moves from academia into the minds of policymakers and company directors across Europe and beyond.
The European Union, which imports more than 60% of its raw materials, is leading the way.
At the end of last year the European Commission unveiled its Circular Economy Package, committing more than €6bn (£4.7bn; $6.8bn) in funding.
By 2030, the commission expects this to save the EU economy €600bn a year and be a powerful force for job creation.
There are two main components to it: The first redefines waste, allowing companies to make greater use of still-valuable resources that are currently discarded, and sets binding recycling targets for the next 15 years.
The second is an action plan that encourages far greater resource efficiency much earlier in the production process and includes an eco-design standard encouraging producers to design products with their end of life in mind; in other words ensuring that as many components as possible can be reused.
This will work as an extension of energy efficiency ratings already mandatory on white goods, explains Nick Molho, executive director at sustainable business group Aldersgate.
The action plan is not yet binding, but it could be very soon.
Legislation will be introduced "over the coming year, we are talking months", says Joss Bleriot, executive officer at the circular economy charity, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
"The European Parliament is massively supportive and business wants to do this, as they can see the competitive advantage."
Indeed the benefits to businesses are numerous. For a start they can save money from re-using natural resources rather than buying new ones, such as expensive rare-earth metals in the case of electronics.
This will become ever-more important as dwindling resources become more expensive.
Re-using resources also insulates companies from volatile commodity prices, while reducing waste disposal costs and energy consumption.
Equally, it also should lead to less pollution and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that will increasingly become a cost to business as taxes are introduced to combat them.
The one major downside, of course, is that manufacturers may well sell fewer products if they are built to last longer and to be reused - but this simply means they will have to find different sources of revenue such as servicing.
In a world of finite resources, says Mr Bleriot, they will simply have no choice.
A number of big companies are starting to embrace a more circular business model, including Unilever, Philips, Google, Ikea and BT. Indeed, according to Mr Bleriot, the most profitable car factory in Europe is Renault's remanufacturing plant in Choisy-le-Roi near Paris.
Another carmaker leading the way is JLR, which manufactures two of its three Land Rover models from aluminium, which is lighter than steel, giving improved performance and fuel efficiency.
The problem is it's more expensive and takes more energy to produce, thereby emitting more CO2.
For this reason, the carmaker has gone to great lengths to use recycled aluminium, known in the trade as post-industrial scrap. Half its aluminium is now from recycled sources, and JLR has set a target of 75% by 2020.
"Finding technical solutions and reorganising our supply chain has been difficult, but [buying less freshly smelted aluminium] saves us money," says Mr Ellison. "Economically, it pays off."
The company is now looking at its other top 10 most-used resources, from steel and magnesium to glass and plastics, to work out how best to source recycled materials.
Construction and support services giant Interserve is another firm looking at the circular economic theory to transform the way it does business.
Buildings are now not only dismantled rather than demolished and buried, with a view to reusing the raw materials, fixtures and fittings, - but are designed to be maintained, refurbished and repurposed more easily.
"That is the future," says Interserve's Mat Roberts. "The emphasis will be on modular and reusable buildings that can switch from commercial use, to residential, to healthcare, to office blocks."
He points to Sheffield University's Factory 2050 as an example of what is possible.
Circular economic theory is slowly but surely embedding itself at the highest levels of some of the world's biggest companies, and those implementing it first believe they are gaining an important head start on their rivals.
"If you want to save costs, reduce waste, cut your environmental footprint and improve revenue, you have to talk about circularity," says Mr Ellison.
"It is the only model that resolves all the different tensions [facing businesses]."
Finite resources may mean companies ultimately have no choice, but many believe embracing the circular economy now also makes perfect business sense.

In the build-up to the match, Real Madrid forward Bale quipped no England players would get in the Wales team, who he said had more desire.
Hodgson insisted England had not been interested in the words aimed in their direction from the Wales camp.
And he said Bale could "rest assured" that England "don't kick people".
Speaking in the pre-match media conference on Wednesday, Hodgson said: "I'll put a stop to all discussions and questions regarding what Gareth may or may not have said. I think they've had our answers.
"I don't want to keep batting away questions."
England drew 1-1 in their opening game against Russia, while Wales beat Slovakia 2-1.
"Our focus and our attention has been very much on trying to prepare for these three games," said Hodgson.
"This has always been the one where the mass media interest would be highest, simply because it's a game between two teams where most of the players play in the Premier League and Wales is another home nation.
"We have been talking about Wales as a team and a group of players in exactly the same way we had been talking about Russia. We know them better, of course, and they know us better, but there has literally been no difference in the way we would prepare."
England have been determined not to be drawn into a verbal battle, concentrating instead on recovering from a disappointing result despite a good performance in Marseille on Saturday.

Hodgson added: "I've not heard anybody in the squad make any reference whatsoever to any comments that have been made. Whenever you play any game of football you will either be classed as an underdog or a favourite, either by those outside or by yourselves.
"It doesn't make a ha'porth of difference and when that whistle blows we know what we have got to do and we think we'll be ready to do it. We'll be trying very hard to win the game and then afterwards it will probably all start again."
Hodgson defended Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling after their performances against Russia.
Tottenham striker Kane looked jaded, while Manchester City winger Sterling referred to himself as "#TheHatedOne" in a post on Instagram.
Asked whether Kane was struggling after a long Premier League season, Hodgson said: "I've got to say watching the training and even watching the games I haven't really had any severe doubts about that.
"Once again there is always going to be a situation after every game where players' performances are analysed and scrutinised. Some will get tremendous pats on the back and others will get fewer pats on the back.
"There were other players in the team the other night who have probably almost as much football as Harry and I don't know I particularly noticed them struggling in that way."
Hodgson also believes Sterling performed well in Marseille, saying: "Raheem's mental state is very good. I thought he played well.
"He's been as bright as a button in the training sessions we've been having and I thought his performance the other night was a good one. I thought he caused the Russians a lot of problems."
Meanwhile, England captain Wayne Rooney believes the team can challenge anyone if they can maintain their level of performance against Russia.
He said: "I think if we perform the way we did it will be difficult not just for Wales but for any team to stop us playing that way and winning games.
"We performed very well but only drew so that is something which we have to improve."

Realis Estates said it would release details of a "reduced size scheme" for City Sentral in Hanley soon.
It was granted planning permission for a 650,000 sq ft (15 acre) site in 2011 but that contract expired in February.
The announcement follows a report commissioned by the city council which said the current retail market could not "support the proposed development".
The report, written by retail consultants WYG, said the scale needed to "better reflect current market conditions".
It said it also had concerns that Marks and Spencer would not be the main tenant at City Sentral because it was planning to build a new store three miles away at Wolstanton Retail Park.
Plans to include a cinema development should also be scrapped as a result of a new nine-screen multiplex being built at the nearby Intu Potteries shopping mall, it said.
Realis Estates Managing Director, Duncan Mathieson, said: "We are working with [Stoke-on-Trent city] council on a reduced size scheme which we will update you on and release as soon as we can. "
Racing, the 2016 runners-up, had been winless in this year's campaign but led through tries from Xavier Chauveau, Marc Andreu and Gerbrandt Grobler.
A penalty try and Andreu's second after the break, along with nine points from the boot of Dan Carter, consigned the Tigers to a fourth consecutive defeat.
Leicester's European season will conclude against Glasgow on Saturday.
The Scottish club could still progress from Pool 1 should they win at Welford Road, with Munster already assured of their place in the last eight.
Aaron Mauger has now lost both of his games in charge of Tigers since becoming interim director of rugby following Richard Cockerill's sacking.
And there were few positives to take from a careless performance against a team that are struggling in the bottom half of the French league.
Chauveau set Racing on their way with a finish after the hosts' pack had pinned Leicester on their own line and Andreu ran in under the posts when he picked up Matt Smith's stray pass.
Freddie Burns' penalty gave Tigers their only points of the match but the visitors' night was summed up when Mathew Tait fumbled Carter's missed penalty and knocked on behind his own posts - handing Racing a penalty scrum that allowed Grobler to sneak over.
Tigers continued to wither under the power of the Parisian club's pack and Will Evans conceded a penalty try when he tackled a driving maul - the flanker was sin-binned for his contribution.
With Racing losing Antonie Claassen to a yellow card, Dan Cole thought he had scored for Leicester, but the television match official was unable to determine if the ball had been touched down.
And the Premiership side's misery was compounded late on when Andreu finished a slick move in the corner.
Leicester director of rugby Aaron Mauger: "It was frustrating and disappointing. We just didn't front up.
"Everything we talked about in the week in terms of preparation we just didn't do.
"We talked about winning the collisions and getting quick ball but I thought Racing were very good in that area. We weren't very good there and in defence we let them open up channels.
"With guys like Dan Carter in the team, they're too good."
Racing 92: Dulin, Rokocoko, Chavancy, Laulala, Andreu, Carter, Chauveau, Ben Arous, Lacombe, Ducalcon, Grobler, Van Der Merwe, Claassen, Voisin, Fa'aso'o.
Replacements: Afatia for Ben Arous (62), Chat for Lacombe (56), Tameifuna for Ducalcon (62), Williams for Van Der Merwe (54), Missoup for Fa'aso'o (71).

CCTV footage captured a man entering Rhys Candles in Llansamlet on Monday.
Owner Wendy Johnson said it was "devastating" as she had raised at least £175 for her father who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in March.
That collection, along with a Cancer Research charity box containing around £800, were taken in the break-in.
"We've only been raising for Cancer Research for the last couple of months and we were up to around £800," said Ms Johnson.
"But then in March, my dad got diagnosed with brain cancer, so one of my customers gave us a rare candle to raffle and said that all the proceeds had to go to my mum and dad, to maybe have a meal or go for an evening out somewhere.
"It's just the thought of someone taking any charity money really, but when it's so close to home it's heartbreaking."
CCTV footage shows one of the thieves searching the shop before taking the box as well as at least 200 candles worth more than £20 each.
South Wales Police is investigating the theft.
It enabled Israel's allies to monitor information acquired by its reconnaissance missions, Der Spiegel and The Intercept website reported.

How intelligence is gathered
"We know that the Americans spy on every country in the world and on us as well, on their friends," said Yuval Steinitz, a cabinet minister and former minister of intelligence affairs.
He said Israel had not spied on the US for decades.
The intelligence agencies were able to watch information that the drones and other aircraft broadcast back to their handlers, the reports said.
They had a "virtual seat in the cockpit" as Israeli drones struck targets, The Intercept said.
In 2008, an internal US National Security Agency memo boasted that the programme had been able to collect video from the cockpit of an Israeli F-16 fighter jet, the reports said.
The project, codenamed Anarchist, has been running since 1998 and was based near the highest point in Cyprus, Der Spiegel and The Intercept reported.
Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said a US base in northern England was also involved.
Israel was the main focus of the project, but systems in Egypt, Turkey, Iran and Syria were also hacked into, the reports said.
The UK Foreign Office said it would not comment on intelligence matters.
It will become the sixth FTSE 100 company to have a female chief executive officer.
Ms Brittain joins from Lloyds Banking Group, where she was head of its retail division.
She previously worked for Santander and Barclays. Ms Brittain is also a non-executive director at Marks and Spencer.
She will join the company in January and replace current boss Andy Harrison, who will retire in February.
The number of women on the boards of FTSE 100 companies has risen over the past four years to almost a quarter of all board members.

"It was a disaster from the beginning," he recalls. "We never had a business licence, we never had a health permit - who knew you needed such a thing? The walls started closing in and we began running out of money."
In less than a year the restaurant had closed.
"But no doubt I learned more in that ten month period than I would have learned in four years at college," he says.
That proved to be true. Over two decades later Mr Armstrong, now 46, runs Eat Good Food Group which operates Restaurant Eve, Eamonn's and Society Fair as well as a bar. The firm has an annual turnover of around $10m (£6.5m) and employs almost 150 staff.
With the restaurants located in Alexandria, Virginia just a few miles from the United States' capital, he has ended up cooking for film stars, presidents, millionaires and a host of other celebrities. He has also represented the US in Thailand, promoting American cuisine and sustainable food and has been named by the White House as a champion of change for supporting healthy school meals.
So how did a college dropout and self-described bottle washer from Ireland end up becoming one of the most sought after chefs in a region obsessed with success, power and money?
Listening to Mr Armstrong describe his career it would be easy to attribute his rise to the luck of the Irish and a few chance encounters along the way. But the self-deprecating humour and easy-going charm disguise a steely business sense and a thorough knowledge of the restaurant industry gained by hard work and stamina.
Born in Dublin in 1969, Mr Armstrong grew up in a family that relished food. His father did most of the cooking and grew his own vegetables in the back garden. Dinner was an obligatory event that always included an appetiser, main course and dessert.
When he was seven-years-old Mr Armstrong was sent alone on an exchange visit to France to learn French. The trip became a summer ritual and over the years he developed a passion for French cuisine.
He was less enthusiastic about college where he spent two months studying computer programming before dropping out. That's when his family decided America might be a good experience and packed him off to stay with friends in the Washington suburbs where he got a job at an Irish bar.
One thing led to another and after ignoring a summons home from his father, and winning a Green Card in the annual US government lottery, he was taken on at Vidalia, a high-end restaurant in the heart of Washington where he began learning the art of "serious cooking" and worked his way up the kitchen ranks.
"I really had no clue what I was doing," he says. "So many restaurants sear a piece of meat, put it onto a hot plate and then it goes into the oven. You take it out when you think it's cooked and hopefully you get medium rare or medium or whatever was ordered."
Vidalia had much higher standards as Mr Armstrong found out during his first New Year's Eve in the kitchen.
"At least 60 steaks were sent back over cooked. The chef finally gave up screaming at me because it was a disaster. Thankfully I wasn't fired. And sometimes an experience like that can be the best learning experience you're going to have. You just learn to figure it out. I went back in the next day, got back on the horse and started figuring it out."
He figured things out so well that in 1998 the owner of Vidalia asked him to be the chef at Bistro Bis, a landmark restaurant on Capitol Hill and a favourite haunt of lawmakers and lobbyists.
"Over the course of my almost four years there I cooked for Hilary Clinton, Martina Navratilova, Tony Curtis and a long list of celebrities. When Michael J Fox and Mohammad Ali came to talk to Congress about Parkinson's disease, I fed them. It was a pretty amazing experience."
When famous American cook Julia Child turned up unannounced, she was so impressed she returned the following day.
"Cooking for all these celebrities, I started meeting people who had money and were interested in investing in me so we started looking for properties where we could open a restaurant."
But Mr Armstrong was cautious. When asked to borrow $4m as part of a finance package he balked: "I needed to sleep at night."
Eventually, in 2004, he and his wife Meshelle, a restaurant manager, opened Restaurant Eve in Alexandria, Virginia. Backed by a group of local businessmen, they have taken on a more modest debt of $2m.
"In its heyday, before the bottom fell out of the economy in 2007, Restaurant Eve was fabulous and virtually ran itself. But the luxury dining industry took a relatively big hit with the drop in the economy and hasn't really recovered that well.
"I find myself having to explain to people the difference between overpriced and expensive. Overpriced is paying $2 for a can of sugary water. Paying $200 for a fine meal in a restaurant is not overpriced - it's expensive."
President Obama paid a surprise visit in 2011 when he and the first lady celebrated their wedding anniversary.
Mr Armstrong had taken a rare day off work when the restaurant's general manager called him at home. "He said, you have to come in, the President is going to be here in half an hour.
"I got to the restaurant and all hell was breaking loose. There was security everywhere but they sat down at a table and had dinner in the dining room with everybody else. The only thing they did that was unusual was to ask the guests in the bar not to move while they were coming and going. Other than that you wouldn't have noticed there was a small army surrounding them!"
Despite his success, in a typical week Mr Armstrong still works between 90 and 100 hours.
"It's a tough business. You do it because you love it and because it's fun. I initially believed that it wasn't important - it's just dinner, you're not curing cancer or sending people to the moon.
"But I realised that being sustainable and environmentally conscious is important and that we can influence people - even the president of the United States - with the food that we're serving. So it is important and not just dinner after all."
Janet Hayward of Cadoxton Primary School, Barry, is in the running to win the second annual Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize.
The accolade is widely referred to as the Nobel Prize for teaching and is the largest prize of its kind.
Ms Hayward is one of three UK teachers to have been shortlisted.
In her nomination, she was described as being known "for her enthusiasm in inspiring pupils to learn in new ways".
One of her schools was among the early users of wi-fi in the classroom, winning a national technology award, while her current school is a test case for solar powered computers and has eight screens in every classroom.
Ms Hayward said if she won, she would put the prize towards a community cafe.
"It's not for me personally. The big hope is that the prize would come to the school and fund a community cafe that we're looking to build for the Cadoxton community," she told BBC Radio Wales.
Since 2012, Ms Hayward has chaired the National Digital Learning Council and in 2014 she received an OBE for services to education.
Sunny Varkey, founder of the Varkey Foundation, said the thousands of nominations and applications received was "testimony to the achievements of teachers".
The athlete, who became emotional on Thursday after being described as an "evasive witness", seemed to have been expecting this verdict.
The judge had already spoken of his negligence and use of "excessive force" when he fired through the door.
Although he was acquitted of the most serious charge, culpable homicide still carries a prison term of up to 15 years but, unlike murder, the judge may use her discretion and suspend the sentence or only impose a fine.
Some say this is the best outcome he could have hoped for.
Friends and relatives of Reeva Steenkamp wept, as the poised and soft-spoken Judge Thokozile Masipa handed down her judgement.
Reeva Steenkamp's mother, June, seemed shell-shocked.
The Steenkamps left the court soon after the hearing ended, no doubt keen to get away.
The Pistorius family addressed the media in the courtroom where the verdict was delivered.
Arnold Pistorius, the family patriarch, addressed the throng of media crammed on the court benches and thanked Judge Masipa for not convicting his nephew of murder, saying "a huge burden had been lifted".
"We as a family remain deeply affected by this devastating tragedy," he said with his wife, Lois, standing by his side.
"It won't bring Reeva back but our hearts do go out to her friends and family," Mr Pistorius continued.
Pistorius himself was not there - he had left moments earlier.
As the Paralympic champion was escorted out of the courthouse, scores of young women screamed and cheered, like fans at a rock concert.
But the case is not yet over. It will resume on 13 October, when Judge Masipa will sentence the athlete.
For the past six months, the world has had a front row seat watching the fall from grace of the man referred to as the "blade runner".
As the case enters its final stretch, two courts in South Africa are now debating Judge Masipa's verdict - the courts of public opinion and of the legal system.
Some legal experts say she followed the law impeccably, by looking at the evidence before her and then evaluating whether the state had proven its case.
But others have been unsettled by her ruling that Pistorius was not guilty of murder, saying the prosecution had grounds to appeal.
In South Africa, a perpetrator can be convicted of murder if he or she had foreseen that their actions would lead to someone's death and still proceeded with that course of action.
Ms Masipa said she could find no proof that Pistorius had the requisite intention to "kill the deceased, or anyone else for that matter".
Legal expert Prof Pierre de Vos tweeted : "Not sure rejection of [murder charge] is correct here.
"Surely if you shoot into a door of a small toilet and know somebody behind door you foresee and accept possibility of killing?"
But the judge clearly said on both Thursday and Friday that the prosecution had not proven beyond reasonable doubt that the athlete had foreseen that he would kill someone when he fired four shots through the door of his toilet in the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013.
The judge, perhaps anticipating the backlash, said the verdicts had been reached unanimously. There are no juries in South Africa but she was assisted throughout the trial by two assessors.
Judge Masipa, a figure of quiet authority, has a reputation for fairness in court circles and is well respected - but on the streets this has somewhat changed.
On social networking sites and among the crowds outside court, many say they feel Pistorius got off lightly because of his fame and his ability to employ expensive lawyers.
Thankfully for her, public opinion has no bearing inside court.
South Africa itself has been on trial over the same period. The world has been told of police bungling and a spotlight has shone on the fear of crime.
There is a perception here in South Africa that most crime is committed by poor black people targeting the white middle classes or the wealthy elite.
Cue "white fear" - a phrase used to refer to the rich white haves in society who live behind high walls, afraid of the intruder who may come in the night. It was the threat of this intruder that apparently gripped Pistorius with fear on that tragic morning.
In a country where domestic violence is a serious problem, it is not surprising that many hoped this case would be an impetus for change in the laws protecting women.
It was never proven that this was a case of domestic abuse but this did not stop political parties and women's organisations from using Ms Steenkamp as the face of the vulnerable woman - failed by her country and the system.
#JusticeForReeva is currently trending among South Africa's Twitter users.
Outside court, one protester told me: "Women always lose".
But whether or not he spends time in prison, the Oscar Pistorius the world celebrated and South Africa collectively worshipped is gone forever.
While the Steenkamps feel they still have not had justice for their daughter.
"This verdict is not justice for Reeva," her mother, June told NBC. "I just want the truth."
The former Merseyside MP and university lecturer, who studied Classics at Oxford University, has died aged 78.
He became chairman of the British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles (BCRPM) in 2010.
A BCPRM spokesperson said he would be "missed by many".
In an interview for the BBC News website on taking up the appointment as chair of BCRPM, Mr O'Hara strongly advocated the unification of the Parthenon sculptures held in London and Greece, in the gallery devoted to them in Athens' new Acropolis Museum.
"There is only one place on earth where you can have a simultaneous visual and aesthetic experience of the Parthenon and the sculptures, and that's in that gallery," he said.
Last year he penned a strong response to the British Museum's claim that the sculptures are a "significant part" of the Museum's "story of cultural achievement throughout the world".
"The price of this is the compromise of the integrity of a pre-eminent work of art." Mr O'Hara stressed.
Announcing his death, the BCRPM commented: "We will remember him for many aspects of his commitment to the cause but perhaps more importantly for his love and understanding of people.
"His passion for the Parthenon Marbles never waned and his dedication to the campaign was steadfast."
Dr Tom Flynn from the BCRPM said: "I'm deeply saddened to receive the news of Eddie's death. A huge loss to his family and friends and to the UK Marbles campaign, which he has steered with such passion and erudition.
"A fellow Liverpudlian, he never missed an opportunity to rib me over Everton's erratic performance. I shall miss his gentle warmth and good humour."
The son of a carter, Mr O'Hara attended the Liverpool Collegiate School and studied at Magdalen College, Oxford, gaining an MA in Classics, and the University of London.
Earlier in his career he taught Latin and brought his classes to life by translating Beatles lyrics.
Mr O'Hara represented Knowsley South for 20 years. He leaves a wife and three children from his first marriage.
John Catt had spent years protesting over nuclear weapons, Vietnam, Iraq, racism in the police force, poll tax and increasing tuition fees.
He had argued that he was not engaged in criminal activity and the retention of the data was unlawful.
The High Court judges ruled his human rights were not being infringed.
Mr Catt began legal action after he discovered details of his protests against Brighton-based arms factory EDO were being held on the police's National Domestic Extremism Database.
Lord Justice Gross said the data in question "is essentially comprised of records, or reports, made by police officers overtly policing demonstrations" of a group known as Smash EDO.
"Smash ED0 is a protest group which has carried on a long-running campaign, calling for the closure of EDO, a US-owned arms company carrying on a lawful business and with a factory in Brighton."
He added: "Smash EDO stages regular protests. Although many people at Smash EDO protests do not commit criminal offences, disorder and criminality has been a feature of a number of the protests."
Rejecting Mr Catt's case, Lord Justice Gross said: "The compilation and retention of the reports were predictable consequences of Mr Catt's very public activities; they neither engaged nor infringed his right to privacy."
Acting on Mr Catt's behalf, Shamik Dutta said: "This judgment raises matters of constitutional importance and could impact upon anyone engaging in peaceful protest. Mr Catt has therefore instructed me to seek permission to appeal."
The Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) said such forums enabled young people's opinions to be "respectfully and intelligently debated and challenged".
But State Premier Daniel Andrews said he was "very troubled" by the idea of a space where people "could be radical".
Victoria was rocked by a suspected terror attack earlier this week.
Gunman Yacqub Khayre killed a man, wounded three police officers and took a woman hostage during a siege at an apartment building on Monday night. He was later shot dead by police.
Australia has prevented a number of extremist attacks on home soil in recent years, and has been on alert amid fears over the return of Australians fighting for Islamist militant groups in Syria.
The ICV, which says it represents some 200,000 Muslims in Victoria, says the community is suffering mental health and other problems because of the widespread suspicion it faces.
It recommends, to a parliamentary inquiry into freedom of religion, funding a number of community-led initiatives - saying financial resources at the moment are concentrated mainly on national efforts to counter violent extremism.
ICV spokesman Adel Salman said they did not consider the "safe space" proposal controversial, because it is a practice that is already used to help young people in countries around the world.
"This is about good practice because the youth require an avenue to express their views in a safe environment... where they feel their views are valued, where they can be respectfully challenged and counter views presented," he said.
He said such spaces would be "conducted with experts who are familiar with the methodology, and understand the way the conversation can be guided".
And he criticised headlines which called the proposal "rage space" and "hate space", saying the media had misconstrued what they were asking for.
But Premier Andrews ruled out any possibility of funding such an initiative.
"I am very troubled by the suggestion that we might have a space where people could be radical as part of a de-radicalisation programme. That makes no sense to me whatsoever".
Changes in climate have seen a rapid increase in the size of plants that the moose depend on in winter to survive.
The large, lumbering creatures have moved hundreds of kilometres northwards following the spreading shrubs.
Scientists believe the moose will continue to colonise new territories as warming continues.
The windswept, treeless tundra regions of Alaska saw a rapid decline in moose numbers around the start of the 20th century but there has been a rise in sightings in these northern and western areas since 2009.
This study argues that the changing fortunes of moose in the tundra were due to environmental reasons and not overhunting as some had previously suggested.
While caribou are able to dig down through the snow to find forage in winter, moose can only eat the shrubs and plants sticking through this layer.
The researchers then investigated the relationship between shrub height and temperatures in Alaska dating back to 1860.
They found that global warming in the 20th century led to a longer growing season and they estimated that shrubs increased in size from around 1.1m in 1860 to around 2m in 2009.
They believe this is the key reason behind the rapid spread of moose into tundra over the past 10 years.
"It's an immense change," said Dr Ken Tape, lead author from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
"Moose are everywhere in Alaska now, they've changed their distribution by somewhere between 3-500km, if you look at the area I'd estimate its 210,000 sq km."
"You get the sense that the Arctic is this timeless place, you come back year after year and it's the same vegetation and in large parts that's true - but what this change in moose distribution is really telling us, is that it's not quite as timeless as we think."
The scientists believe that other species like the snow shoe hare have also benefitted from the spreading shrubs to move northwards as well.
They describe the process as the "boreal-isation" of the tundra with species like moose encroaching on endemic creatures. They believe they are seeing the emergence of a whole new wildlife community in the region.
The researchers argue that with temperatures continuing to increase, the northern march of the moose will be unimpeded.
"They will continue to move into the tundra and move towards the arctic coast," said Dr Tape.
"The sea ice lingers against the coast and so that has made the summer really short, so the height of shrubs goes down dramatically, but this is changing - they are getting taller near to the coast so you are getting more moose habitats nearer the sea."
The scientists believe these changes in moose range into tundra regions are happening not just in Alaska, but in Canada and in northern Russia as well.
The research has been published in the journal Plos One.

The three main Scottish banks, Clydesdale Bank, Bank of Scotland and Royal Bank of Scotland, had been told that the £5 notes were vegan-friendly.
However, De La Rue, which makes the notes, said more detailed analysis had revealed animal derivative equivalent to a maximum of 0.003% per banknote.
A spokesman said it was trying to address the problem with its suppliers.
More than 100,000 people signed a petition after the Bank of England admitted its notes contained a small amount of tallow - derived from animal products.
The Clydesdale Bank, Bank of Scotland and Royal Bank of Scotland, had all said their notes were free of animal products.
But De La Rue later released a statement which said: "Our initial analysis of our supply chain suggested that our polymer substrate did not contain any traces of tallow, and we advised specific customers on this basis.
"However, recognising the concern expressed by the public in recent days, we have undertaken a detailed and thorough review of our polymer supply chain. This review has identified the potential for minute traces of animal derivative, equivalent to a maximum of 0.003% per banknote.
"We are now working with our suppliers to identify ways of addressing this."
A statement, made on behalf of the three banks, through the Committee of Scottish Clearing Bankers, said: "Royal Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank and the Bank of Scotland have been contacted by De La Rue following its announcement this afternoon and are in full dialogue with the manufacturer.
"None of the banks were previously aware of the potential presence of animal products in the manufacture of its polymer notes and recognise and understand the concerns of customers. We have asked De La Rue to investigate why this has happened as a matter of urgency.
"De La Rue is working with its suppliers and will keep all banks informed as it continues its investigation."
On Tuesday the Bank of England said "an extremely small amount" of tallow was used in an early stage of the production process and that the issue had "only just come to light".
The petition, on the Change.org website, calls on the Bank of England to "cease to use animal products in the production of currency that we have to use".
It states that tallow, which is often used in the manufacturing of candles and soap, is "unacceptable to millions of vegans, vegetarians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others in the UK".
A number of Sikh and Hindus have also urged the notes be banned from temples, where meat products are forbidden.
Hindus believe cows are holy and sacred, and many do not wear shoes or carry bags made from the skin of cattle that has been slaughtered. Practising Sikhs are strict vegetarians.
Polymer notes are more durable than the paper ones. They are expected to last an an average of five years - compared to two years previously.
After a forgettable opening 25 minutes, the game burst into life on the back of an off-the-ball incident involving Gozie Ugwu and Elliott Hewitt, for which the former earned a yellow card.
County immediately went on the attack, with Sam Hird denying Shola Ameobi with a fine tackle before he hacked Terry Hawkridge's effort off the line.
But the visitors then suffered a setback just before the break when Scott Wiseman saw red for a needless shove on Hawkridge.
The challenge facing County was to overcome Chesterfield's stubbornness and they did just that when loanee Grant looped a fantastic header over Anyon in the 60th minute.
The 22-year-old saved his best for last in injury time when Hird was penalised for a foul on Jonathan Forte 25 yards from goal.
Grant took responsibility with the set-piece and bent it over the wall and into the far corner to give Anyon no chance.

Michael Soley, from Darlington, said he was being pulled out to sea by the current after a wave took him off South Gare pier.
He was saved by the Hartlepool lifeboat which was in the area on a training exercise on 21 March.
Mr Soley visited the RNLI station in Hartlepool to thank his rescuers.
The angler was preparing for a day's fishing with his father and brother when a wave swept him off the pier.
He said: "I tried to swim back to the pier but couldn't fight the sea and I started to panic.
"The tide pulled me from the pier towards Redcar shoreline and then out to sea.
"I remember laying in the water looking up at the sky and everything was going all peaceful and my eyes were shutting.
"All I could think about was my eight-year-old son, Billy, he was supposed to be coming with us but decided to stay at home and play computer games with his friend.
"Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the lifeboat, I can't remember what happened next but I woke up in hospital with heat packs all over me."
The Hartlepool crew, which is made up of volunteers, managed to throw a line to Mr Soley which they used to pull him aboard their new Atlantic 85 boat.
Mr Soley said: "I am so grateful to the RNLI lifeboat crews, I owe my life to them."
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service believes the fire started on the first floor of a printers on Mary Street in Lancaster at about 12:40 BST.
A spokesman said there were no reports of any injuries.
He said neighbouring buildings had to be evacuated, however, and there was "significant damage" to the roof and the first floor of the terraced block of shops.
The fire service said an investigation was under way but an initial report suggests it was "electrical in origin and involved a machine".
Paatelainen refused to discuss the reasons for the defender's exit, which United say was "by mutual consent".
But he insists it was not because Gunning picked the ball up mid-play against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
"That had nothing to do with it," said the United boss. "There haven't been any fall-outs here."
Gunning, who was in his second spell at Tannadice, walked off the field with the ball an hour into Saturday's 2-0 defeat.
He returned to the field to undergo treatment before being substituted to the jeers of home fans.
"He was injured - he got a knock on his upper shin area - and he couldn't carry on," Paatelainen told BBC Scotland.
"He couldn't kick the ball out. That's why he picked the ball up and wanted the game stopped.

"It was quite a bizarre moment because nobody knew what happened there.
"He did indicate before that he had a problem, but obviously the game was rolling. If he went down, Caley Thistle might have had a dangerous attack on our goal."
Following Saturday's defeat, United fell eight points adrift at the foot of the Scottish Premiership and Gunning's exit means he will not be available for Saturday's Scottish Cup semi-final against Hibernian.
"Gavin has left and won't play for us this season," said Paatelainen.
"We keep the facts private, but unfortunately he has gone and we get on with it."
Gunning, a former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, moved to United from Blackburn Rovers in 2011 and spent three seasons at Tannadice before joining Birmingham City.
A serious knee injury prevented him from making an impression for the Blues and he returned to Tannadice as a free agent in November following a short stint at Oldham Athletic.
The Tayside outfit were booed off at half-time and at the final whistle against Caley Thistle, with Paatelainen describing the performance as "diabolical".
In their official statement, United said of Gunning'e exit: "This is a private matter and the club will not make any further comment."
Despite announcing better-than-expected sales over the Christmas period, it is to shut its Westgate store in the centre of Bradford.
The shop employs 90 people and was one of seven closures announced. The other locations had not been revealed.
Shopworkers' union Usdaw said the closures were "devastating news".
However, Morrisons said: "Regrettably we cannot see any improvement in the viability of the Westgate store.
"Many people will know that we have considered closing the store before and have instead decided to carry on trading, which is in part down to the hard work of our colleagues.
"Despite their dedication we have not seen the response from customers needed to secure the store's future."
Joanne McGuinness, of Usdaw, said: "This is devastating news for the staff in the seven stores that Morrisons intends to close.
"We will now enter into full and meaningful consultation meetings on these proposals, where we will look closely at the company's business case.
"Our priority is to maximise employment within Morrisons and keep as many stores open as possible, seek redeployment opportunities if a shop is closed and minimise compulsory redundancies."
Morrisons sold its 140 M Convenience stores at a loss of £30m in September 2015 and embarked on a cost-cutting and store closure programme.
Last year, Morrisons reported a 52% drop in annual profits to £345m - its worst results in eight years.
The firm also dropped out of the FTSE 100 list of the UK's biggest companies in December.
Morrisons maintained its profit forecast, saying it expected full year underlying profit in the region of £295m to £310m, before £60m of restructuring and store closure costs
Rural affairs secretary Mr Lochhead signalled his decision to quit ahead of a reshuffle to Holyrood's top team.
Social justice minister Mr Neil has also written to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon telling her he will no longer continue as a minister.
SNP leader Ms Sturgeon, who won the Holyrood election last week, has now made public her new cabinet.
She said John Swinney would become Scotland's new education secretary.
Mr Swinney had previously been Scotland's finance secretary, as well as the country's deputy first minister.
Former Transport Secretary Derek Mackay has been promoted to Finance Secretary, with Keith Brown the Economy Secretary.
Both roles had previously been filled by Mr Swinney, but have now been separated into two.
Mr Mackay will have responsibility for the Scottish budget and the raft of new tax and welfare powers that are being devolved to the Scottish Parliament, in a role that has been described as similar to the UK Chancellor.
Elsewhere, Shona Robison will remain as the health secretary, with Michael Matheson keeping his justice brief.
Angela Constance - who had been Education Secretary - has become the Cabinet Secretary for Communities, Social Security and Equalities.
And Fiona Hyslop continues as the Culture, Tourism and External Affairs Secretary.
Roseanna Cunningham becomes Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform - replacing Fergus Ewing, who is now the Rural Economy and Connectivity Secretary.
News of Mr Lochhead's departure from the cabinet cames in the wake of his wife Fiona disclosing late last year that she was suffering from breast cancer.
The MSP for Moray said this had helped him come to the conclusion that he needed to "change the priorities" in his life.
In a letter to the first minister, Mr Lochhead added that it had been an "absolute privilege" to serve in the cabinet, first under Alex Salmond and now Ms Sturgeon.
Nicola Sturgeon, in reply, said he left "a rich and enduring legacy of achievement".
She has also signalled privately that Mr Lochhead could be welcomed back into government at a future date.
There had been speculation that Mr Lochhead might be moved from rural affairs.
It followed a long-running controversy over the failure to process the transfer of Common Agricultural Policy payments to farmers. This issue was thought to have caused the SNP electoral problems in farming areas.
Audit Scotland is due to publish its report into the affair on Thursday.
One newly elected Liberal Democrat MSP, Mike Rumbles, had signalled his intention to seek to subject Mr Lochhead to a parliamentary vote if he were to continue in office - in effect, a vote of confidence.
But the exchange of letters between Mr Lochhead and Ms Sturgeon makes no mention of that, stressing instead the former minister's achievements and the challenge posed by his wife's illness.
In his resignation letter to Ms Sturgeon, Mr Neil said: "I believe we have laid the basis for an ambitious programme of reform for the next five years, especially in relation to housing, planning and social security policy.
"However, I now intend to concentrate on my constituency and other work which cannot be easily done whilst serving in the cabinet."
Ms Sturgeon said Mr Neil had served "with distinction" and leaves "a rich enduring legacy of achievements" across the portfolios he was responsible for.
She noted his role in taking equal marriage legislation through Holyrood and his work on inequalities, housing, planning and social security.
The young striker, who also got the winning goal when Coventry won the EFL Trophy at Wembley earlier this month, netted seven minutes before the interval to bring a welcome win for Mark Robins' side.
Coventry, who have been in the relegation zone since November and bottom for three months, had already been condemned to relegation. But, with just a game left, they at least climb above Chesterfield, who lost at home to Charlton.
The Saddlers should have taken the lead in the 32nd minute when Matt Preston headed wide from inside the area. And he was quickly made to pay when, on 38 minutes, Thomas stroked the ball home from the edge of a crowded penalty area.
Gael Bigirimana headed off the line from Eoghan O'Connell 11 minutes into the second half, while the home side survived strong claims for a penalty when the ball hit the hand of Jordan Willis.
In only his third game back after a month out through injury, Walsall then had O'Connell sent off for a second yellow card with 20 minutes remaining, ruling him out of the mid-table Saddlers' home game with relegation battlers Port Vale on Tuesday night.

The attack was launched 10 days before the beginning of peace talks between the government and the Marxist rebels.
There is no indication that either side will declare a ceasefire until considerable progress has been made.
During talks with another rebel group, the Farc, the government refused to stop fighting until a deal was done.
Twenty-four ELN rebels agreed to demobilise in Casanare and rejoin civil society, Colombia's Defence Ministry said in a statement.
The operation targeted the rebel group's public order and financial wing, the authorities informed.
The ELN and the Colombian government have agreed to open formal negotiations in neighbouring Ecuador on 27 October.
They have been engaged in an armed conflict for more than five decades.
The ELN says it will not be rushed into a peace agreement and that it wants civil society to be involved in the search for a permanent peace deal.
The Marxist rebel group said it rejected an "express peace process", after the Colombian government pushed for speedy peace talks.
The Colombian government for its part is keen to reach a deal with the ELN as soon as possible.
How significant is Colombia's ELN rebel group?
The government is still reeling from the rejection by Colombians of a peace agreement with the country's largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).
That agreement was reached after almost four years of talks in the Cuban capital, Havana.
But it was rejected by a narrow margin in a popular vote on 2 October by Colombians, many of whom thought it was too lenient on the Farc.
Government and ELN rebel negotiators announced back in March that they would open formal peace negotiations.
But the talks, originally scheduled to start in May, were delayed after the ELN rebels failed to meet the government's demand that it stop kidnapping people.
The ELN has since made a commitment not to carry out any more kidnappings, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said.
The group has released three hostages over the past weeks and is expected to free another two before the start of the talks in Quito.
"We will remove instances of these videos that are reported to us while we evaluate our policy and approach to this type of content," it said.
The news came less than two hours after the BBC revealed a member of Facebook's own safety advisory board had criticised its stance.
The social network had previously refused to ban the clips.
It had said people had a right to depict the "world in which we live".
But the US's Family Online Safety Institute (Fosi) said the violent nature of the material had "crossed a line".
"Personally and professionally I feel that Facebook has got this call wrong," said Stephen Balkam, the organisation's chief executive, ahead of the U-turn.
Charities in the UK had also called on the social network to reconsider its stance saying the material could cause long-term psychological damage.
The warnings came after a one-minute long video was uploaded to the site last week showing a woman being beheaded by a masked man.
A voice heard on the footage suggests that it was filmed in Mexico.
A second video clip showing the execution of two men has also been shared on the network after being posted last Wednesday. The victims say they are drug smugglers for a Mexican cartel before being attacked with a chainsaw and knife.
Ryan L, a university student from Belfast, contacted the BBC after one of the clips spread around his friends' news feeds.
He said he had flagged the material with Facebook as being inappropriate, but was sent the following reply.
"Thanks for your report. We reviewed the video you reported, but found it doesn't violate Facebook's Community Standard on graphic violence, which includes depicting harm to someone or something, threats to the public's safety, or theft and vandalism."
Facebook initially confirmed it had opted to leave such material online.
In reference to the video showing the woman's murder, it issued the following statement:
"People are sharing this video on Facebook to condemn it. Just as TV news programmes often show upsetting images of atrocities, people can share upsetting videos on Facebook to raise awareness of actions or causes.
"While this video is shocking, our approach is designed to preserve people's rights to describe, depict and comment on the world in which we live."
For the past three years Facebook has consulted Fosi and four other organisations in North America and Europe to discuss its online safety policies.
Although the group was not scheduled to meet until September, Fosi's head said he planned to raise the issue during an "extraordinary" phone conference.
"Where it gets grey is: what is in the public interest? Is it in the public interest to know what is going on with the drug lords in Mexico?" asked Mr Balkam.
"But given that not only are teenagers accessing this, but consumer reports estimate that seven and a half million under-13s in the US are on Facebook, you've just got to consider: would this go out on daytime television news?
"I don't think it would, even with a warning saying this is something you may want to avoid. It crosses a line."
He added that one of the videos had been shared among his daughter's schoolmates via Facebook earlier this week.
UK child safety campaigners had also condemned Facebook's policy.
"Facebook must have taken leave of their senses," said John Carr, who sits on the executive board of the UK government's Council on Child Internet Safety.
"I hate to think how an unsuspecting youngster might react if they saw it through their news feed or in any other way."
Decapitation videos can be accessed through sites found via search engines and other popular video clip sites.
However, Dr Arthur Cassidy - a former psychologist who runs a branch of the suicide prevention charity Yellow Ribbon - said Facebook's social nature made it particularly problematic.
He added that he had seen the videos in question and warned they could cause long-lasting psychological damage.
"We know from evidence that [watching] such material can influence self-esteem in a very negative way," he said.
"It can also cause flashbacks, nightmares and sleep disturbance. If that is prolonged it can transfer into many other negative effects in a child and adults as well such as anxiety-related disorders and panic attacks.
"The other problem is some people, in their innocence, might share this with friends to say how abhorrent it is, and we are concerned about the profound and uncontrollable impact this can have on an entire community."
An online petition calling for Facebook to remove decapitation videos had attracted 289 "likes" at time of writing.
One person who supported the campaign wrote: "The video appeared twice on my news feed. I cannot imagine the impact it will have on a younger person. Facebook needs to create some kind of filter to block these images from appearing in the news feed."
Facebook confirmed that its current privacy tools allowed users to block posts by particular people, but not specific types of content.
Mr Balkam said that finding a way to block the spread of such clips to those who had not opted into receiving them was one idea that could be explored.
"If they are going to host this kind of graphic violence how then can we best prevent those videos getting into the hands of folks who really don't want to see these, including children?" he asked.
A Belgian national named only as Y.A. joins two others charged in Belgium in relation to the foiled plot.
The charges come in the wake of the arrest of Frenchman Reda Kriket in a Paris suburb on 24 March.
The arrests all followed bomb attacks on the airport and a metro station in Brussels on 22 March that left 32 people dead.
Belgian federal prosecutors gave few details about the latest charges.
A statement named the suspect as Y.A, aged 33, who was arrested on Thursday and had appeared before a judge on Friday to have his detention extended.
He was charged with "participating in the activities of a terrorist group".
A man referred to officially as Facyal C was released on 28 March after being arrested on 24 March in Brussels and charged with "participation in the activities of a terrorist group, terrorist murders and attempted terrorist murders".
Others detained on suspicion of terrorist activity include
The charges come after an arsenal of weapons was found at the home of Reda Kriket, with the Paris prosecutor saying an imminent act of "extreme violence" had probably been prevented.
The other two charged in Belgium are Abderamane A and Rabah N.
Another man has been detained in the Netherlands and is contesting extradition to France.
The recent spate of arrests was sparked by the detention in Brussels on 18 March of Salah Abdeslam, a key surviving suspect in the gun and bomb attacks on a concert hall, a stadium, restaurants and bars in Paris on 13 November 2015 killed 130 people.
The attacks in Brussels came four days after Abdeslam's arrest. Three suicide bombers are known to have died, while at least one other suspect, pictured on CCTV at the airport, is being sought.
Meanwhile Abdeslam's brother, Mohamed, says he has met him in his Belgian prison cell where he is awaiting extradition to France.
Mohamed said his brother had chosen not to blow himself up, to save lives.
He told France's BFMTV that Salah had told him: "There would have been more victims had I done it. Luckily, I couldn't go through with it."
So-called Islamic State said it carried out both the Paris and Brussels attacks.
In fact live club football did not return to the screens until January 1986 after a bad tempered war of words between the Football League, which ran the top flight then, and broadcasters at the BBC and ITV.
They were wrangling over a deal offered by the TV firms worth just £19m over four seasons, about £55m in today's money.
The Football League chairmen felt that the true value was closer to £90m.
However, unlike now, 30 years ago the TV companies - not football clubs - held the upper hand, and when no agreement could be brokered (there was also a row about the split between live games and highlights) they had reached an impasse.
As a result, there was a football blackout for the first half of the 1985-86 season, and in the second half, only 13 English club games were shown live.
The Football League had capitulated in December 1985, accepting a pitiful £1.3m (£3.74m now) for nine First Division and League Cup games. A separate FA Cup deal was also signed for four games.
* The BBC and ITV both also showed the FA Cup Final live as normal. The 1986 European Cup Final, and England v Scotland were also broadcast live.
"It is strange to look back and realise there was nothing more than a few games shown live on TV that season," says Robin Jellis, editor of respected industry journal TV Sports Markets.
"Things have changed beyond recognition since then. There has been the advent of pay-TV, and the need for premium content - such as Premier League football - to drive sales.
"In fact, there is now so much football content that new sports channels are constantly appearing to handle the volume."
Mr Jellis points to the 1992-93 launch of the Premier League as a watershed moment for football on TV, and Rupert Murdoch's vow to use sport as a "battering ram" to sell Sky pay-TV subscriptions.
It was that deal which kick-started the ever-increasing sums paid for rights over the past two decades, during which time other broadcasters such as Setanta and ESPN have entered and left the fray.
Back in 1986, after the blackout season, the BBC and ITV then agreed a deal worth £3.1m a season (£8.4m now) to the football authorities - less than the money they had been offered in 1985 - covering the following two seasons.
Each broadcaster would show seven live games each a season.
Compare that with the forthcoming 2015-16 season, the last year of the current Premier League deal with Sky and BT, which is worth £1bn a season for 154 live matches.
And those figures are dwarfed by the £1.72bn a year deal the Premier League has secured for the three seasons from 2016-17 to 2018-19, for 168 matches a year.
"The current inflation is the result of competition between Sky and BT. Sky's whole business model is based around the Premier League football TV rights, and securing of the majority of the games," says Mr Jellis.
"BT's number of games is smaller, but they are coming to it from a different perspective. They saw their broadband customer business being lost to Sky, and their aim was always to stop that migration."
"Football was a totally different product to what it is today. It had gone through a very bad period in a PR sense, with the Bradford fire, riot at Luton, and Heysel disaster.
"Football, it seems strange to say now, became unfashionable for a time, it was not dominating in the newspapers, and of course TV coverage was off air from the start of the season until January. The mood was one of disillusionment.
"The crowds at some of the old First Division grounds were not great, I remember just 12,000 at a West Ham match.
"There was a gradual uplift, some put it down to the 1990 World Cup, others to the founding of the Premier League. Some would say the nadir was Hillsborough, but the Taylor Report which followed ushered in new, all-seater, stadiums.
"Strangely enough, having no live football on TV for the first half of the season benefitted one player, Frank McAvennie, who had signed for West Ham from St Mirren. Only West Ham fans had really seen him in action, and the unknown factor meant he was able to score 18 goals in the first half of the season.
"I commentated on the first live game back on television in January 1986 for Charlton v West Ham in the FA Cup, and when McAvennie appeared on screen I said 'now you know what he looks like'."
Looking further ahead, to the next domestic deal cycle, which would begin in season 2019-20, Mr Jellis says possible threats to Sky and BT could come from Discovery, which has just secured future Olympic TV rights in Europe, and BeIN, Al-Jazeera's rebranded sports channel, which is becoming increasingly acquisitive.
"I can't see there being anything but increasingly-aggressive bidding in three years time," says Mr Jellis.
"Premier League clubs are certainly benefitting from the competition. The influx of top foreign players is because of the big salaries that can be offered as a result of the TV deals.
"The amount of money the clubs are getting is already vast, and that is going to increase even more."
He says that while the team that wins Serie A in Italy earns roughly between €30m to €40m (£21m to £28m) in broadcasting revenues, estimates show that the team that finishes bottom of the Premier League in 2016-17 could earn up to £100m from TV monies.
Ever-inflating bubbles have a tendency to burst, but Mr Jellis believes that moment - if it ever arrives, is still some way off, especially as the Premier League has still to sell the next tranche of its international TV rights.
Those rights are worth about £2bn in the current deal cycle, and the Premier League has launched tenders for bids in two of its most lucrative regions - the US and MENA (Middle East & North Africa).
Mr Jellis believes that, as in the UK, the rights are about to soar overseas. US rights are currently with NBC Universal at $83m a season, but he believes that is set to more than double.
In addition, BeIN and rival Abu Dhabi Media could also be set to fight it out in the Middle East.
"Another huge market is Asia and South East Asia, as seen in the relentless Premier League club touring there," he says.
Back in the UK, some other factors could also be in play in the run-up to that next domestic deal, beginning in 2019-20.
"Quad-play could be a huge factor then," says Mr Jellis, referring to a communications bundle that includes high-speed data, telephony, TV, and wireless.
"The fruits of what Sky and BT are looking to put in place now won't be known until then. We also have BT looking to tie up its deal with EE, to give it that mobile platform.
"If the competition authorities give that the go-ahead then I think we will see Sky look to do something similar with a mobile operator."
However, a visitor from the mid-1980s would be totally confused by today's TV football landscape.
"The idea of buying a subscription to watch live football, or the notion of these new platforms that are available to watch football on - the internet, mobile devices - would not have been imaginable 30 years ago," says Mr Jellis.
"All you had then in 1985 were the handful of terrestrial TV channels. Football viewing in the UK has totally changed since then."
Kudankulam plant Chief Superintendent MK Balaji said that the delay was due to public protests at the site which had disrupted building work.
He said that the site had been subjected to a total blockade by protesters since 13 October.
Protesters say the facility is unsafe and in an earthquake area.
They fear a repeat of the disaster at Japan's Fukushima plant. But officials say it is in a low seismic activity area.
The nearly $3bn plant - which has been either under design or construction for two decades - is equipped with two reactors built with Russian assistance.
"Definitely there is a delay," Mr Balaji told BBC Tamil.
"We have completed hot runs in August and are in the process of completing inspection work. But the the public agitation has disrupted our work."
He said that there would be at least a "three to four months delay" in commissioning the first part of the plant, and because of that the second part was also likely to be behind schedule.
Mr Balaji strongly denied media reports that Russian scientists at the plant were planning to go back home because of the continuing protests.
He insisted that it was safe and that there was no possibility of a radiation leak, although still no decision has yet been taken on where to store nuclear waste. The government insists that no waste will be kept at Kudankulam.
On Monday former Indian president and scientist APJ Abdul Kalam - on a visit to the plant - said that it was fully safe.
He said it was equipped with "sophisticated safety features and there is no need to panic".
Mr Kalam said that he was neither a mediator nor a government envoy, but "a technologist".
"I support nuclear energy along with solar and wind power as it is a clean and green energy which is very much required for the country's rapid growth," he said.
But protesters said they were disappointed with Mr Kalam's support for the plant.
The move follows controversial sales of Chinese ceramics from the Museum of Croydon and an ancient Egyptian statue from Northampton Museum.
Now 10 bodies, including Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery Fund, have said they will not work with museums who follow suit.
They called such sales "a breach of trust with the public".
The announcement formalises the sanctions levelled against Croydon and Northampton after they sold off items against the advice of the Museums Association (MA).
The MA withdrew accredited status for Northampton Museums, one of its founder members, after Northampton Borough Council put its ancient Egyptian statue of Sekhemka up for auction last year.
As a result the museums lost out on funding grants, including £240,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The sale itself raised £15.8 million, some of which went towards a major extension of Northampton Museum and Art Gallery.
Croydon council, which sold off 24 Chinese ceramics from its Riesco Collection in 2013, resigned from the MA after being told it would face disciplinary action.
As a result of those incidents, the MA tightened up its ethical code and started talks with funding bodies to create a "joined-up response" to those selling important objects.
Ten organisations have signed up, including some of the largest funding bodies for museums. They are:
In a joint statement, the organisations said they were "concerned that a growing number of organisations are considering selling items from their collections for financial gain".
"Museum collections... represent an extraordinary act of generosity from one generation to another," the statement went on.
"It is clear that even when legally owned by museum governing bodies, they are primarily held in trust as cultural, not financial, assets.
"The unethical sale of items from museum collections constitutes a serious breach of trust with the public, supporters of museums and donors who have entrusted items to museums for perpetuity."
The joint statement represents a collective wrap over the knuckles for those local councils which have already sold off artworks in their collections. It also acts as a stern word of warning for those who might be considering such action in the future.
It contains two specific threats. The first is expulsion from the Museums Association for - it says - "breaching public trust". The second - which will probably be more keenly felt - is a bar on being able to access funding from the likes of Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery fund.
But the prospect of losing out on grants worth - perhaps - a few hundred thousand pounds - might not be enough to deter financially beleaguered local councils. Many have seen their core budgets cut, while watching the value of their local museum collections soar thanks to a booming global art market.
Museums and galleries have come under increasing pressure as a result of the economic downturn and austerity cuts.
The MA's own cuts survey found that 52 percent of museums experienced falling income last year, with 21 percent forced to cut opening hours.
Local authority-run museums and national institutions were particularly badly hit, it said.
The financial pressure has forced many to seek new forms of income. But funding bodies are making it clear that plugging the gap by selling off precious collections will not be tolerated.
Arts Council England and the Museums Association say they will remove accreditation for anyone found to have breached standards for managing public collections, making it harder for them to qualify for funding.
The National Museum Directors' Council added it would not enter into any partnership activity, including loans of artworks and artefacts, with an offending museum.
Scott Furlong, director of Arts Council England, said: "The UK's collections are a priceless cultural treasure. They are built on a shared understanding of the importance of passing on a rich picture of our past and present to each generation.
"That is why it is so important that we make this joint statement of support for the importance of managing our collections in an ethical and responsible way and are very clear about the consequences for those who choose not to do so."
The 18-year-old injured her left ankle at the British Championships in March but went on to win four medals in April's European Championships.
She had surgery on the injury on Monday and will now miss October's competition in Montreal, Canada.
"My eyes are now set on getting ready and fit for the Commonwealth Games next year," Downie said.
"I'm very excited to be on the road to recovery and get fit again. A minor setback is a pathway for a major comeback."
British Gymnastics added that it expected Downie to be "fully fit for an important year of competition in 2018".
Downie's elder sister Becky will also miss the Worlds as she continues to recover from an elbow injury.
BBC Sport's David McDaid
Having shown her dominance at European level to take that historic all-around gold in April, gymnastics fans were excited to see if Ellie Downie could carry that on to the world stage.
With international stars such as Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and Aliya Mustafina all missing, the younger Downie sister's chances of taking all-around honours would have been even higher.
Given what she has achieved already, it's easy to forget she only turned 18 last month.
Her coaches often speak of her maturity and willingness to view the bigger picture when it comes to her body and her career.
Sitting out these World Championships will allow her to come back for a full 2018 including the Commonwealth Games and, crucially, next year's World Championships - which are the first qualifying steps towards the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
The absence of both Downies means a chance for some younger gymnasts to make their mark.
Look out for the likes of Alice Kinsella, Georgia-Mae Fenton, Kelly Simm and Maisie Methuen to take spots alongside more recognisable names such as Amy Tinkler and Claudia Fragapane.

The planned deployment of 4,000 extra troops to eastern Europe aims to prevent, not provoke conflict, he said.
Despite current tensions, the military alliance does not see Russia as a threat, he added.
Relations between the west and Russia are at their lowest point since the Cold War.
The US and European Union imposed sanctions on Russia following its annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula in 2014.
The war in Syria has also been a flashpoint for tensions, with key Western powers accusing Russia of war crimes in its bombardment of opposition-held areas in support of the Syrian government.
Why is Nato deploying more troops? - BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Marcus explains
Russia is in many ways a weak country. Its leadership has a strong sense of encirclement - a view that the West is only eager to do it down - and, rightly or wrongly, this is driving Mr Putin's more assertive approach.
That is what is making Nato allies like the three Baltic Republics and Poland so worried. That is why countries like Romania and Bulgaria worry about Russia's behaviour in the Black Sea region.
And that is why Nato has sought to provide visible and highly symbolic reinforcements to its northern and south-eastern flanks.
But Nato has to square a circle here. Despite Mr Putin's barbs, there is no great enthusiasm for a new conventional arms race.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected those allegations, and says the idea that Russia has aggressive military designs in Europe as "ridiculous".
Multi-national Nato battalions made up of 1,000 troops each will be deployed to Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania early next year.
They will be led by the US, Britain, Canada and Germany.
But rather than seeking to confront Russia, Nato continues "to strive for a more co-operative and constructive relationship", Mr Stoltenberg said, interviewed during a Nato meeting in Brussels.
"But we have to do that based on collective defence - deterrence."
While Nato did not see any imminent threat from Russia, it was responding to its actions in Ukraine, he said, as well as what he called the use of nuclear rhetoric to intimidate European nations.
Nato says it believes Russia has about 330,000 troops stationed near its western border.
Earlier this week, plans for Russian warships to dock at a Spanish port were cancelled after Nato allies voiced concern that they could be used to bomb civilians in Syria.
Gerard Quinn, 24, was assaulted at Milldale Crescent in Currynierin on Saturday night. He was taken to Altnagelvin hospital but later died.
On Monday, police were granted an extra 24 hours to question a 16-year-old boy in connection with the murder.
Paul Sharkey ran out with towels as Mr Quinn was slumped by a wall.
"I was holding his neck, keeping pressure on. I still had a pulse," he said.
"We rolled him over, lost the pulse straight away and I started CPR.
"I managed to get a small pulse back again and then the ambulance turned up and took over from there.
"He went up to the hospital with a pulse and he was fighting for his life.... I'm really glad that he did not die on the street."
Mr Sharkey said that when he arrived at the scene, there were crowds of people screaming.
"I haven't slept, every time I close my eyes I can just see the young fella. This is something I'm never going to get over," he said.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place later on Mr Quinn's body. His twin brother, Michael, was also treated for injuries sustained in the attack.
Mr Quinn has been described by those who knew him as "fun loving".
Jimmy McAlister is the manager of Nierin football club, for whom Gerard played.
"He was fun loving, he played football with a smile on his face you know? He was one of the characters in the changing room that everybody liked.
"It's devastating, heartbreaking, he's got a young kid of his own and it's just a complete shock to everybody.
"Everybody round here knows everybody else so the whole estate will be feeling it today and for a long time to come," Mr McAlister said.
Fr Michael Canny from Waterside parish visited the Quinn family on Sunday.
"It's another tragedy in the city. I was horrified to hear of the murder and yesterday afternoon I went to visit the family and I have to say it's a scene of complete and total devastation," he said.
"The parents and the extended family are really struggling to come to terms with the enormity of actually what has happened.
"That somebody who was young, someone who was very special and important to them, their life has been snuffed out in such a terrible manner," he said.
Dermot Chambers knew Gerard from a young age through Ardmore Gaelic club.
"I would have trained him from he was five or six years of age. Any time you saw him he had a ball with him, he was one of those types of fellas you know, always wanting to be involved in sport," he said.
"It's a terrible loss and a very sad day for the community of Ardmore and our prayers are with the family.
"There was that much police activity we knew that there was something serious wrong and then we heard that news, devastating."
Kane Williamson's side have won all four games at the tournament but lost to England in a warm-up match, as well as in ODI and T20 series last summer.
They are yet to play in Delhi, while Wednesday's match will be England's third straight game at the venue.
"We know the conditions more than New Zealand will," said all-rounder Stokes.
"Probably we do have a slight mental advantage over them. We beat them in the warm-up game and we beat them in the summer as well. But we're not going to take too much from those two games."

Stokes praised England's fighting spirit after they lost their first game against West Indies and conceded 229 runs to South Africa in their second - before going on to chase down that total and then beat Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
"The way we bounced back from the first three innings of our tournament - since then we've come on leaps and bounds," he said.
"That just proves the character that we've got, the never-say-die attitude - I think that comes from youth as well. The way we've played has been the best thing - we've all played the way that we've done for our counties."
New Zealand are ranked second in the world in T20, two places above England, and having reached last year's World Cup final, have won 12 of their past 13 matches at global limited-overs tournaments.
"We're not going to be going into this game thinking we've won it already, because we know New Zealand are the form team and they're hard to beat, especially in this format at the moment," Stokes said.
"It's going to be tough to get out into the middle and try and perform our skills against the form team. But if we can perform anything like we have done over these last two games, we should do well."
BBC Sport takes a look at some of the most interesting statistics from Saturday's Premier League action.
It was only in September that Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew said managing England was the "pinnacle for any Englishman's career", and with no permanent manager in place for the Three Lions, 'Pards' may still get a call.
But only if they ignore his numbers in 2016.
The Londoners were nine minutes away from winning the FA Cup at Wembley in May, prompting a touchline jig from Pardew, before Manchester United turned the game around to win in extra time.
Decent in the cup, but dreadful in the league. Palace have played 31 Premier League games this year, claiming just 22 points, which works out at 0.71 points per game.
So how bad is the run? Palace fans - look away now. It is the worst of all 92 professional teams in English football.
The Eagles have also gone 17 league games without keeping a clean sheet, although this run is still a long way off West Brom's record of conceding in 34 straight games.
"Alan Pardew is saying he's not worried about relegation but he's going to have to start worrying about it soon," former Palace striker Ian Wright told Match of the Day.
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud may have scored a late equaliser for Arsenal against Manchester United, but the draw meant Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho is now 12 games unbeaten against counterpart Arsene Wenger.
That streak is not too far off the record, held (jointly) by...?
Sir Alex Ferguson, of course. The Scot enjoyed 17 games without defeat against his former defender Steve Bruce, but here's a top, top surprise.
Ex-West Ham, Spurs and Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp also went 17 Premier League matches without being on the losing side against Martin O'Neill.
A 'triffic' performance.
Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham remain unbeaten after 12 games, yet still manage to find themselves behind north London rivals Arsenal in the league.
In fact, they went all of October without winning a game - in any competition - but are just three points adrift of Liverpool and Manchester City, who lead the way.
For that, they owe plenty of gratitude to striker Harry Kane, who scored twice in the weekend's comeback win over West Ham, and netted to claim a point against the Gunners in their previous match.
How about this? His record in London derbies stacks up as the best of any player to have played 10 or more capital fixtures, with 18 goals scored in 22 games.
And since the start of last season, Spurs have picked up 20 points in London derby games in the league - the most of any side involved.
Kane's tally of 19 strikes in 2016 also makes him the leading Englishman, but Sunderland's Jermain Defoe - who last earned an England cap in 2013 - follows closely on 18.
Defoe's goal in the thumping win over Hull not only helped take the Black Cats off the bottom of the table, but the 34-year-old also chalked up his 150th Premier League goal in the process.
"Lump it to the big man." English football's much-maligned style of play and one Andy Carroll would thrive off, if he managed to stay off the treatment table.
But it is a tactic that is working wonders for his West Ham team-mate Michail Antonio.
The big winger opened the scoring at White Hart Lane with his sixth headed goal of the campaign and 11th of the year in total.
It takes him level alongside former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill for headers in a calendar year - the Australian notching the same number in 2010.
Can Antonio nod his way to the top of the pile? He has got seven games to achieve it.
Meanwhile, Leicester centre-back Robert Huth, who has headed a fair few balls in English football, became the first German to play 300 times in the Premier League.
No Italian, Spanish or Brazilian player has reached the landmark, while Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer leads the way for overseas players with 514 appearances.
For those who arrived late at Vicarage Road on Saturday, they would have missed midfielder Etienne Capoue's opening goal for Watford against champions Leicester.
The Frenchman's volley found the net after just 33 seconds which - you may think - is some sort of rapid goal record.
Incorrect. It is not even the fastest goal scored this season, an accolade that goes to Chelsea's Pedro, who sneaked in to score against Manchester United after just 30 seconds.
Former defender Ledley King still reigns supreme as having netted the quickest goal in Premier League history, clocking in at 10 seconds for Tottenham against Bradford.
After his fifth game as Swansea boss, American Bob Bradley is still in search of his first victory. The Welsh outfit have now dropped to the bottom of the Premier League.
But Bradley - if given time - will need to go on a shocking run if he is to catch Mick McCarthy, who went 15 without victory in the Premier League with Sunderland.
McCarthy's winless streak is matched by John Gorman, who started his first 15 games for Swindon in 1993 without winning. They promptly got relegated, which remains their only season in the top flight.
Great 'tache though.
Their relationship - captured in the famed 2015 photo above - has been described as a "rollercoaster romance".
But Mrs Merkel refused to let Mr Obama speak at the Brandenburg Gate when he visited Germany as a presidential hopeful back in 2008. He had to content himself with the Victory Column in the Tiergarten.
Relations in the early part of his presidency were overshadowed by differing views on the global financial crisis, a key issue at the 2009 G20 in London. An email to Hillary Clinton from one of her advisers, written five months later, said Mrs Merkel disliked "the atmospherics surrounding the Obama phenomenon".
And yet a warm relationship began to develop. Some commentators suggest the two - a lawyer and a chemist by training - found common ground in an analytical, pragmatic approach to policy.
Relations came under further pressure in April 2011 when Germany vetoed a plan for Nato intervention in Libya. But in June 2011, Mrs Merkel visited the White House and Mr Obama presented her with the US Medal of Freedom, lauding her as "a good friend and one of my closest global partners". The German media reacted cautiously, with one editorial questioning Mr Obama's "excessive hospitality".
Chancellor Merkel has said Mr Obama is "fun" to work with. She welcomed him on his first visit to Berlin as president in 2013. This time he did get to speak at the Brandenburg Gate.
But the relationship was tested again in October 2013, when leaked documents revealed that the US had spied on friendly foreign leaders, including monitoring the German Chancellor's personal mobile phone. At Mrs Merkel's next White House visit, the US media described the press conference as "frosty". Mrs Merkel faced problems with the translation equipment. Mr Obama said he was "pained" by the "strains in the relationship" caused by the revelations.
More recently, US-German relations have been warmer. The two have worked together on a wide range of issues, including an EU-US trade deal, Ukraine and the refugee crisis - on which Mr Obama has lauded Mrs Merkel for being "on the right side of history".
"For me, the future with the president is much more important than the past right now," Mrs Merkel declared in April 2016, according to CNN. Mr Obama said: "This is as important a relationship as I've had during the course of my presidency. Chancellor Merkel has been consistent. She has been steady. She is trustworthy. She has a really good sense of humour that she doesn't show all the time at press conferences."
The ceremony, in the Sicilian capital Palermo, marks the penultimate step on the path to being made a saint.
He was shot by a hitman in front of the church where he used to urge his congregation to disobey mafia bosses.
He will be the first victim of organised crime to be declared a martyr by the Catholic Church.
Six men are currently serving life sentences for the murder, which took place on his 56th birthday.
Forty bishops and a cardinal representing Pope Francis attended the ceremony, as well as government ministers from Rome.
Born in Palermo, Father Puglisi was the son of a shoemaker and seamstress, and was ordained at the age of 22.
He taught mathematics and religion in several schools, served as the chaplain in an institute for orphans, and went on to work in run-down areas of Palermo.
But he became a target as he grew increasingly outspoken in denouncing crime and alleging collusion between politicians and mafia figures.
Don Giuseppe Puglisi has been declared a martyr of the church, murdered "in hatred of the faith".
He was famous for a rhetorical question, which he used as a catch phrase in order to encourage Sicilians to stand up and fight organised crime: "And what if somebody did something?"
The BBC's David Willey in Rome says the Catholic Church has been accused in the past of an ambiguous relationship towards Cosa Nostra, the men who for decades have controlled organised crime on the Mediterranean island.
By beatifying Father Puglisi, the Church is making a strong stand against mafia crime - which has been protected by a code of silence - our correspondent says.
Earlier this month, Pope Francis proclaimed the first saints of his pontificate in a ceremony at the Vatican - a list which includes 800 victims of an atrocity carried out by Ottoman soldiers in 1480.
These meant that, within two months of taking office, he had proclaimed more saints than any previous Pope, although his predecessor Pope Benedict had given the go ahead for their canonisations.
The circumstances of their moves could not be more contrasting and reflect careers that are travelling in opposite directions.
Both have moved down a division. But, while Fletcher has been picked from the list of summer free agents by Sheffield Wednesday, Ritchie will no doubt argue that his £12m switch from Bournemouth to Newcastle United is indicative of a step up in club stature if not in league position.
Ritchie, having been schooled in the lower leagues with Dagenham & Redbridge, Notts County and Swindon Town, has come a long way since being plucked from relative Championship obscurity to make his debut for a country he admits he had never visited until being called up by Gordon Strachan two years ago.
The Gosport-born 26-year-old helped the unfashionable south coast club win promotion to the Premier League, where they - and perhaps he - held their own against the odds.
Scotland missed out on another major finals as the likes of Northern Ireland, Wales, Albania and Iceland have done themselves proud at Euro 2016.
And the bottom has fallen out of the domestic transfer scene since the heady, some would say crazy, days of Tore Andre Flo's £12.5m move from Chelsea to Rangers in 2000.
But, while the inflated prices in the English market - and inflation itself - must be taken into account, Scottish players still manage to command sizeable fees.
After Ritchie, who are the top five most valuable Scotland internationals?
It is eight years since Craig Gordon, already a Scotland regular, moved from Hearts to Sunderland for the highest fee ever paid by a British club for a goalkeeper. Early praise was followed by injury woes interspersed with loss of form and he spent two years out of the game and contemplating retiring before resurrecting his career with Celtic on his return to fitness.
The fee paid was surpassed in 2011, when Manchester United paid £17m for David de Gea, while Fraser Forster took over from the 33-year-old as the most expensive goalkeeper to move from Scotland when Southampton paid £10m for the Englishman in 2014.
Great things were expected of Alan Hutton as he starred for Rangers in the Champions League. It led to a determined pursuit of the right-back by Tottenham Hotspur, but amid competition from Croatia's Vedran Corluka and England's Kyle Walker, he fell out of favour under manager Harry Redknapp and eventually moved to Aston Villa.
Signed by Alex McLeish, he also fell out of favour under Paul Lambert and spent time on loan to Nottingham Forest, Mallorca and Bolton Wanderers, but the 31-year-old was back as regular starter as Villa were relegated last season.
Until now, Steven Fletcher's career has been one of steadily increasing big-money moves. First from Hibernian to Burnley for £3m, then to Wolves for £6.5m and ultimately to Sunderland for that record £12m figure.
However, still only 29, he finds himself freed for the first time having first fallen out of favour under Sam Allardyce then loaned out to Marseille for the second half of last season. His time in the French top flight was again a long way short of a goal-fest and it will be Championship football with Sheffield Wednesday for the Shrewsbury-born striker this season.
Ross McCormack has emerged as a much-wanted man since playing in the Champions League for Rangers as a teenager. He never became a regular at Ibrox and a loan move to Doncaster Rovers then permanent move to Motherwell followed. A modest transfer to Cardiff City then Leeds United, and a reasonable scoring record in England's second tier, led to an £8.9m switch to Championship rivals Fulham.
Now there is talk of yet another summer move, with reports of Sheffield Wednesday launching a £11.5m bid that would team up the 29-year-old with Scotland team-mate Fletcher. All that money changing hands and he still cannot get a regular game for Scotland.
The Oldham-born son of former goalkeeper Andy is another Scot to have clubs reaching for the cheque book yet leaving his national manager unconvinced. Having started his career with Ipswich Town, it was with Huddersfield Town that he started to hit the net regularly and it led Blackburn Rovers to pay £7.6m for his services in 2012.
In February, Middlesbrough paid out £8.9m to bolster their eventually successful bid for promotion to the English top flight. There has been much speculation about whether Rhodes has the quality to make the step up to the Premier League and now the 26-year-old has a chance to prove his doubters wrong - unless Boro decide to bring in an even more high-profile striker.

Champions Glasgow led 5-3 at the break through Lee Jones' early try and Ruan Pienaar replying with a penalty.
Callum Black, making his 100th appearance for Ulster, scored his first try for the province after 53 minutes.
Paddy Jackson's conversion and penalty put Ulster 13-5 ahead before Taqele Naiyaravoro's injury-time try gave the visitors a losing bonus point.
Glasgow finished with 14 players after number eight Ryan Wilson was sin-binned for a dangerous tackle in the 71st minute.
In a fast-paced game, Ulster dominated territory in the first half but coughed up seven turnovers, several in the red zone with the try-line beckoning.
Ruan Pienaar shanked an easy chance to put Ulster ahead, missing a seventh minute penalty in what was his first kick at goal in this season's Pro12 campaign.
After their well-worked try, Glasgow spent long spells on the back foot with the pace of Craig Gilroy and Paul Marshall causing problems.
Gilroy made a great outside break after Stuart Olding carved the visitors open from inside his own 22 before Ali Price made a try-saving tackle.
Paul Marshall, an early replacement for Pienaar who was forced off with suspected concussion, thought he scored five minutes before the interval but was judged to not have grounded the ball.
The defending champions, who won the title on this ground last year, were missing 10 frontline players away on Six Nations duty with Scotland and had only won once away from home this season in all competitions.
Both teams started with inexperienced players at fly-half and Gregor Hunter missed a chance to extend Glasgow's lead with a missed penalty in the 48th minute.
Sam Windsor made his first start for Ulster at 10, but Paddy Jackson was introduced at the break having been released from the Ireland training squad on Thursday and controlled the shape of Ulster's play in the second half.
There were lots of opportunities for the backs to get their hands on the ball in a fast-paced game and yet another break and off-load by Gilroy carved out the all-important try for Ulster.
In the 10th phase after Gilroy's initial break, Black bundled over from close range and Jackson added the extras, and later added a penalty to stretch Ulster's lead.
Glasgow grabbed an all-important losing bonus point when Taqele Naiyaravoro gathered a crossfield kick to score in the corner.
Ulster: S Olding; C Gilroy, D Cave, S McCloskey, J Stockdale; S Windsor, R Pienaar; C Black, R Herring (capt), R Lutton; A O'Connor, F van der Merwe; R Diack, S Reidy, N Williams.

Witnesses said the two-storey house in Derwent Avenue, Kingston Vale crashed down shortly after 01:00 BST.
Emergency services were called and fire crews carried out an "extensive search" but nobody was in the property at the time.
Kingston Police said basement renovations had been taking place at the property.
Neighbour Sharon Gouhar said she "heard a big boom, my dog started barking and my children ran from their bedrooms saying their rooms had shook."
She said they called the police who "asked us to vacate... It was a bit distressing".
The average price paid for homes in Derwent Avenue is £1,375,000, according to property website Zoopla.
Kingston Council said a building application for work at the property had been submitted two days previously.
An investigation into why it collapsed will now be carried out, the local authority added.
Groups of 15 ordinary women and men are selected at random to uphold justice in their local community. It is a civic duty they are obliged to perform.
Potential jurors must be at least 18 years old and they should be listed on the electoral roll.
They must also have lived in the UK for more than five years since they were 13 years old.
However people in some jobs - for example solicitors and police constables - cannot be cited to appear on a jury.
Others who have committed crimes and served time in prison are likely to be disqualified.
MPs, MSPs, religious ministers, full-time serving members of the armed forces and people who are over 70 can legitimately apply to be excused.
There is a full list of exemptions here.
BBC Radio 4's More or Less asked Deirdre Toher, a statistics lecturer at the University of the West of England, to calculate the probability of an eligible person being asked to serve on a jury.
She used figures obtained from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service.
She told the programme: "The chance of being called for jury service, as in receiving a citation for jury service, in Scotland is approximately 95% across the 53 years of typical eligibility."
Although many people will receive a letter asking them to serve on a jury, far fewer will actually be selected to sit on the jurors' benches.
About 30 men and women will be invited to court and 15 will be selected to be part of a jury.
In fact, the chance of actually serving on a Scottish jury is about 30%, according to Ms Toher.
The probability of being asked to be part of a jury more than once is about 40%, she added.
South of the border, juries are made up of 12 people, and the odds of being selected for the job are far lower than in Scotland.
According to the latest figures from the Ministry of Justice, there is about a 35% chance of people in England and Wales being summoned for jury service over the course of their lifetime.
Only about half of those cited spend any time in court.

The minutes showed members were concerned that the incoming president would adopt policies designed to increase economic growth that would require faster interest-rate increases.
But they also urged caution over the "uncertain" outlook.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.30% at 19,942.16 points.
The S&P 500 gained 0.57%, rising to 2,270.75. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.88%, finishing at 5,477.00.
Chris Low of FTN Financial in New York said: "the market was right in thinking the minutes would tilt hawkish, but they tilted less than expected".
The minutes said that policymakers discussed "the uncertainty about how federal spending, tax, and regulatory policies might unfold and how global economic and financial conditions will evolve."
President-elect Mr Trump takes office later this month and investors are waiting details of his policies, which are expected to include cuts in taxes and increases in infrastructure spending.
US shares have rallied since Mr Trump's election victory as a result.
Shares in carmakers also helped the market move higher on Wednesday, following better than expected December sales figures. General Motors shares rose 5.5%. Ford shares rose 4.6%.
Tech giant Apple has confirmed plans to invest $1bn in a tech fund being set up by Japan's SoftBank.
SoftBank has said it is investing at least $25bn in the fund and has been in talks with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund for an investment that may reach $45bn.
Dan Bull spends 10 weeks a year on a cherrypicker trying to tame this 55ft (17 metre) hedge at Powis Castle, Welshpool, Powys.
He admitted it was "a bit scary" initially, but considers himself lucky.
Back in the day, the 300-year-old yew took a team of 10 with huge ladders to clip the bushes using just hand shears and scythes.
Head gardener David Swanton added: "It's a huge task for us to get all the trimming done.
"Two gardeners spend six weeks trimming the box hedge and two more spend 12 weeks working on the yew.
"One gardener spends about 10 weeks in the air on this hydraulic cherry-picker getting all the high trimming done."
The German sportswear giant is in the second season of a 10-year, £750m deal.
After announcing a fall in first-quarter revenue, United said the annual payment will reduce by 30% if they do not reach Europe's flagship competition for a second successive season.
United are sixth in the Premier League, six points off the top four.
"There is a clause in the Adidas contract that applies if we are missing from the Champions League for two years in a row," said United's chief financial officer Cliff Baty.
"An example would be if we [were due to receive] £70m [in a given year], we would not receive £21m."
The sum is taken off each year of the contract, with the first payment covering the years for which the deal - which came into force in 2015 - has been active.
Baty said a failure by United to get out of the Europa League group stage this season would cost the club "single digit millions".
United's failure to qualify for this season's Champions League has already had an impact on their 2016-17 finances.
First-quarter revenue - to 30 September - was down £3.4m (2.8%) to £120.2m, with matchday income down 32.3% to £16.8m. Profit was £6.2m.
The reduction in income is largely down to United playing three fewer home games than in the same period in 2015.
Debt has risen 18% to £337.7m, due to the fall in the pound against the dollar since the Brexit vote.
Executive director Ed Woodward said: "Our financial results for this quarter reflect the impact of our non-participation in the Uefa Champions League."
The club's commercial revenue rose 4.4% to £74.3m, with overall revenue for the year expected to be between £530m and £540m.
United made four signings in the summer transfer window, including France midfielder Paul Pogba for a world record £89m and Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
They are sixth in the Premier League and through to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup but outside the qualification places for the knockout phase of the Europa League with two games remaining.

Masrour Barzani told the BBC that the Islamic State group (IS) could be defeated within months if the world community became fully engaged.
He was speaking after Kurdish forces drove IS out of the strategic Iraqi town of Sinjar.
IS still controls large areas of Syria and Iraq.
Speaking at a command headquarters near the Sinjar front, Mr Barzani told the BBC's Jim Muir that despite setbacks, IS had not been significantly weakened.
And he said he hoped that the attacks in Paris, in which 129 people died, would be a game changer, spurring Western powers to become more involved in fighting the militants.
"It's very difficult to say that Isis (IS) has weakened. They might be losing some ground here and there, but to terrorise of course they are using different methods," he said.
"I think this is probably a change of tactics. They might try to do more of this if they are not stopped and they are not kept under pressure."
Mr Barzani said that if Western countries were unwilling to send in ground troops, they should give greater support to forces such as the Kurdish fighters in both Iraq and Syria who were succeeding against the militants.
However, he conceded that the Kurds were reluctant to push into territory that they don't regard as their own.
Our correspondent says the US-led coalition, which has been bombing IS in Syria and Iraq for more than a year, has had problems finding reliable ground forces to partner with.
Russia, which is an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, recently launched its own air campaign against militants.
Since the attacks in Paris, which were claimed by Islamic State, France and Russia have intensified air strikes against IS targets in Syria.
French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is expected to arrive in the region this week.
A man was walking on High Street in Cheadle towards Ashfield Road when he was struck by a silver A-Class Mercedes at about 19:50 GMT on Boxing Day.
Greater Manchester Police said the injured man was in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
A 32-year-old man from Cheadle Hulme is due to appear at Stockport Magistrates Court later.
Last month, the organisers of the 14th Nairn Book and Arts Festival said they had to generate the money in just four weeks to save September's event.
They said they were left with the funding gap after not getting grant assistance from national arts body Creative Scotland.
Almost 100 events are planned as part of this year's festival.
However, organisers said that while this year's event had been saved, future festivals could still be in doubt.
David Godden, chairman of the Nairn Book and Arts Festival committee, said: "We're immensely relieved to be able to safeguard the festival for this year, and hugely grateful to everyone across the Highlands and beyond who has supported us and given so generously.
"We have an even stronger sense, now, of how valued the festival is by our community and regular festival visitors.
"The fundraising campaign was very definitely a one-off, though, and we'll be working hard to ensure that we get the support we need from all possible funding sources for future festivals.
"In the meantime, we can now get on with the business of delivering the best possible festival come September."
Ezequiel Lavezzi was photographed pulling the corner of his eyes in pictures taken for the Chinese Super League side Hebei China Fortune.
The club has since said they were meant to be "light-hearted" and "wacky".
But instead they have caused huge offence in China, with people accusing him of racism.
"This is an extremely abominable gesture that discriminates against Chinese people. Get him out of here!" one person wrote on social media platform Weibo.
In a statement released on Sunday, Lavezzi said he had "no intention of insulting the Chinese people", and was simply making funny faces at the request of the photographer.
"I'm very happy to be here as part of the Hebei club," he added. "I have had great time here with my team mates and it has been a great journey. Every Chinese person around me is friendly and I love my life here.
"I deeply apologise if this photo has offended the Chinese public and fans. I will be more careful in the future."
The club has also apologised.
Lavezzi, 32, moved to the Chinese side last year from Paris St -Germain. The two-year deal was reported to be worth £23.5m ($30.3m).
Sixteen of the shark species were discovered by a man walking his dog on Herne Bay seafront, between the Neptune car park and Beltinge.
Tom Hawkins, from Canterbury City Council's foreshore team, examined the fish and said they had probably been discarded out at sea by fishermen.
He added that the ones he had seen had been dead for some time and were likely to have been washed ashore by a breeze.
After 113 results out of 124 councils, UKIP has 55 seats so far, a gain of 26.
It won six seats on Thurrock Council and just missed out on being the largest party by a single vote.
Ex-Tory MPs Neil Hamilton and Mark Reckless were among seven gains on the Welsh Assembly, and UKIP came second in two Westminster by-elections.
It was beaten by Labour in Ogmore, in South Wales, and Sheffield Brightside, in South Yorkshire.
Mr Farage told Sky his party was "really biting hard" into Labour's vote and was "the third biggest party now in the United Kingdom by a country mile".
He added: "There will be many people who see Jeremy Corbyn's Labour as more extreme than UKIP by a country mile."
Mr Hamilton, who was a Conservative MP for Tatton from 1983 until being voted out in 1997 after becoming embroiled in the cash for questions controversy, admitted Mr Farage had opposed him standing for UKIP.
"Well, there's no secret about that, but Nigel is a democrat and I was selected by the overwhelming vote of the party members in Wales for a winnable place on the Assembly list," he told BBC Radio 4's World At One.
"We will all work together as a team regardless of things that have divided us hitherto."
Labour's shadow defence secretary Emily Thornberry acknowledged UKIP was hitting her party's vote.
"I think it has been recognised that UKIP are challenging us," she said. "I think that is a deep worry."
Mr Farage also tweeted that UKIP's progress in Wales justified the amount of money he had spent travelling there to campaign in the Welsh Assembly elections.
Polling expert Professor John Curtice said UKIP's vote in Wales was simply maintaining the level that the party achieved in 2015.
Among its other gains around the country, the Eurosceptic party gained two seats in Bolton, where its total reached five.
In Havant, the party gained seats from Labour in wards that the party has not previously contested at all.
In Derby, UKIP gained Alvaston from Labour, defeating deputy mayor Mark Titley.
Paul and Samantha Jackson and their two children briefly stopped in a private car park at Exeter Airport before catching a flight.
The family said they drove away as soon as they were told it was the wrong car park but were later charged.
Premier Park of Exeter which operates the "Park 2 Fly" car park said it has to deter people abusing the site.
Mr Jackson said he pulled into the car park at 05:51 BST because he "did not want to stop the car on the main road" with two children in the back to get his car park paperwork from the boot.
He said: "I went to see the security guard in the car park to inquire if we were in the correct car park, and he told me I was in the wrong place and gave me directions to the correct car park."
The family, from St Austell, pulled out of the car park six minutes after arriving.
Mr Jackson said: "The parking charges for Park 2 Fly is £15 per day, this works out 0.0625 for the 6 minutes we were in the car park."
The Jacksons have written to the company to explain why they stopped and have the option of making an appeal.
A spokesperson for Premier Park said: "The car park does not have a security guard as it is an unmanned site, so we are unsure who Mr Jackson spoke to on arrival.
"There is a massive sign at the entrance and other signs around the car park stating what the charges are.
"We allow time for people to quickly read these signs and leave. We have so far not received an appeal from the family, but any appeal will be looked at if it is submitted."
One protester was killed last night in the northern town of Chirirbandar in protests ahead of Tuesday's shutdown.
A special court is trying senior leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami for allegedly carrying out atrocities during the 1971 independence war.
The party says the charges are politically motivated.
Protesters are out on the streets across the country in support of Jamaat-e-Islami's strike and there are reports of sporadic clashes.
In some areas demonstrators have set vehicles and tyres on fire as well as pelting police vehicles with stones.
Schools and businesses in many parts of the country have been shut. Thousands of police officers have been deployed.
"We have sufficient police force now on the streets... Many vehicles are moving on the street and we are giving them protection and also activists are suddenly attacking, coming out on the street and trying to disturb, we are also looking into that," one police officer in Dhaka told the Reuters news agency.
The strike came a day after the authorities refused permission for the party to hold a rally. The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party has also extended its support for the strike.
The BBC's Ethirajan Anbarasan in Dhaka says that many people are staying indoors fearing violence, with most private vehicles off the roads.
As some of the cases at the special tribunal into war crimes have reached their final stages, there are concerns that Jamaat-e-Islami may intensify its protest.
Analysts believe this could be the beginning of a series of general strikes, with Jamaat-e-Islami determined to show its opposition the war crimes trials and the BNP opposition also threatening to call general strikes over a dispute on restoring the country's caretaker administration for parliamentary polls.
Our correspondent says that most people in Bangladesh are fed up of such strike action, and many fear the country may be in for a prolonged period of instability.
Their UK trade body says it will work with government to reduce the number of bottles ending in the sea.
It follows research from Greenpeace suggesting the top six global firms sell plastic bottles weighing more than two million tonnes a year.
The biggest brand Coca-Cola is under fire for refusing to disclose how much plastic it produces.
A study estimated that more than five trillion plastic pieces weighing more than 250,000 tonnes were afloat at sea, and a recent paper showed that even marine organisms 10km deep had ingested plastic fragments.
Plastic oceans: What do we know?
Plastic bottle litter on beaches up 43%, conservationists say
Gavin Partington, from the British Soft Drinks Association, said: “We should all be concerned about the problem of marine litter.
“All plastic bottles are 100% recyclable so it is important that consumers are encouraged to dispose of bottles responsibly.
“However, we recognise more needs to be done to increase recycling and reduce littering.”
The Greenpeace study found the six companies surveyed use a combined average of 6.6% recycled plastic in their bottles, and none have commitments to reduce the amount of single-use plastic bottles they use.
Louise Edge, from Greenpeace, said UK drinks makers have until recently been resisting efforts to reduce marine litter through bottle recycling schemes.
She said: “It’s clear that if we’re going to protect our oceans we need to end the age of throwaway plastic. These companies need to take drastic action now.”
After decades of concern, policy on plastic waste in the UK is starting to move. The plastic bags charge has drastically reduced the purchase of throw-away bags, and plastic bottles are now a target.
Scotland has trialled a scheme in which people are rewarded at stores with cash back or discount vouchers when they return plastic bottles. Coca Cola reversed its previous opposition to the trials.
In Germany a 25-cent refundable charge is imposed on plastic bottles.
In some US states a similar charge on aluminium cans prompts children to scour the streets looking for discarded cans to claim the cash back.
The UK government is devising a new litter policy.
The issues aren't straightforward. Minister are keen not to alienate people who already put their used bottles into their own recycling bin. Under a deposit scheme they would be obliged to return bottles to a special recycling point to get their money back.
But it does seem that public support for a deposit scheme is growing.

Officials say the nurse had treated a man who arrived from Guinea at the Pasteur Clinic in Bamako, and the clinic was now in quarantine.
The latest case is unrelated to the first, when a two-year-old girl died from the disease in late October.
Nearly 5,000 people have been killed in the West African outbreak, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the outbreak a global health emergency.
The new case in Mali comes a day after the WHO confirmed the release from quarantine of 25 of 100 people who were thought to have come into contact with the two-year-old girl who died on 24 October.
The toddler's case alarmed the authorities in Mali after it was found she had displayed symptoms whilst travelling through the country by bus, including the capital Bamako, on her return from neighbouring Guinea.
Ebola was first identified in Guinea in March, before it spread to neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone. The WHO says there are now more than 13,240 confirmed, suspected and probable cases, almost all in these countries.
Cases have also emerged, though on a much smaller scale, in Nigeria, Senegal, Spain and the US, as well as in Mali.
Separately on Tuesday, it was confirmed that Morocco would no longer host the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations because of its fears over the Ebola outbreak.
In other developments:
Mali launched an emergency response in conjunction with the WHO when the girl's situation came to light. Her family were among those released from quarantine on Monday.
Health department spokesman Markatie Daou said around 50 people were still under observation in Kayes, western Mali, and would be released in a week if they continued to display no symptoms.
Meanwhile, the virus is continuing to spread in Sierra Leone, with almost 300 new infections recorded in the last three days .
Midfielder Jem Karacan settled any nerves by volleying the hosts in front from Dorian Dervite's curling cross.
Tom Nichols had a goal-bound effort blocked by David Wheater as Posh pushed forward in search of a reply.
Wheater headed the second after the break and Adam le Fondre rifled home to confirm automatic promotion.
Phil Parkinson's side have enjoyed a consistent season in which they have not been lower than eighth in the table and in the top four continuously since 3 October.
They went into the game two points clear of rivals Fleetwood and with a superior goal difference.
And it was the hosts who were the first to threaten as Karacan shot wide after Peterborough failed to properly clear Josh Vela's ball in.
The midfielder made no mistake with the second opportunity that came his way, showing superb technique to give keeper Luke McGee no chance as he found the bottom corner.
McGee saved with his legs from Gary Madine to restrict Bolton to a single-goal lead at the interval, but Wheater headed in from two yards after Le Fondre nodded the ball back across goal following a corner.
The second appeared to sap Peterborough's belief and McGee was again in action to beat away a ferocious drive by Mark Beevers, who was part of the Millwall side beaten by Barnsley in last season's League One play-off final.
Urged on by the majority of a 22,590 crowd, Bolton opened up the Posh defence again and Vela cleverly beat two men before playing in Le Fondre, who fired past McGee into the top corner to spark the promotion celebrations.
Bolton were relegated to League One 12 months ago following a 4-1 defeat by Derby County after a difficult season on and off the pitch, with the paperwork on the club's takeover by Dean Holdsworth and Ken Anderson signed minutes before a High Court winding-up hearing in March 2016.
Despite the change in ownership, the Trotters have had to deal with further difficulties this term, including a public dispute between Holdsworth and Anderson.
Holdsworth eventually agreed the sale of his stake in March, which appeared to put the club back on a stable footing, but Bolton remained under a transfer embargo, imposed in December 2015 for failing to submit accounts, which meant they could not pay fees for new players.
And there were further reports last week of the club being served with a winding-up petition over a £5m debt, with a High Court date set for 22 May, although Bolton say it is a matter for Holdsworth's Sports Shield group.
Amid all the off-field issues, Bolton made a shrewd choice when Parkinson was lured from Bradford City to become their new manager last June.
The 49-year-old guided Colchester United to promotion from League One as runners-up in 2006, his first managerial job, and brought Bradford City up from League Two via the play-offs in 2013.
Victories in their first four games and a seven-match unbeaten run set the tone for the season and Parkinson has built the division's meanest defence, conceding only 36 goals in 46 games.
Bolton sold striker Zach Clough to Nottingham Forest in January and, perhaps unusually for a team challenging for promotion, did not have a prolific scorer, with goals this season shared among 19 different players.
However, two of the men Parkinson was able to bring in, Karacan and Le Fondre - one a former free agent on a short-term contract and one on loan - both found the net as Wanderers returned to the second tier along with champions Sheffield United.
Bolton boss Phil Parkinson told BBC Radio Manchester: "I'm absolutely delighted, and to do it in the manner we did with a very good, solid performance, I'm just so pleased.
"Last week we were a minute away from promotion and it knocked us a little bit, but we regrouped in training this week, and to play as well as we did when the pressure's on is a great tribute to all the players.
"For every footballer, when the big games come, you've got to perform, that's what it's all about, and the lads performed when it mattered most.
"There's been some tough times at the club over the last few years. Ken Anderson took on a tough job when he and Dean Holdsworth bought the club, because there were a lot of obstacles in the way. I'm just so proud for everyone connected to the club today."
Defender Mark Beevers: "Words can't describe how good it feels. From day one the lads have mucked in - we've had fixtures when we've had to dig deep and thankfully, most of them we've come out on top in.
"It's been a collective effort, the fans, the whole of the squad, the staff and we've been rewarded with promotion today.
"I've been promoted with Sheffield Wednesday before, but I didn't play that many games. With Bolton, I've played the majority of the season and it's massive for me and my family as well.
"It's been a while since Bolton had something to cheer about. It's not easy getting out League One, it takes a massive collective effort."

The economics think tank found that in many countries wealthy and poor pupils spent similar amounts of time online.
But richer youngsters were much more likely to use the internet for learning rather than games.
The study argues that even with equal access to technology a "digital divide" persists in how the internet is used.
The OECD report, based on data from more than 40 countries mostly in Europe, Asia and South America, looked at how teenagers used online technology at home.
Access to the internet and digital technology are seen as important to educational achievement.
But this study shows significant differences in how teenagers spend their time online - and suggests that new technology does not stop old social divisions.
It also suggests that encouraging strong reading skills is the key to making the most of the internet.
The researchers found online activity was directly linked to "socio-economic status", with wealthier students more likely to use the internet for educationally advantageous activities such as gathering information and reading news.
Poorer students were more likely to use the internet for games or chatting online.
The information was gathered as part of the international Pisa tests and it shows how teenagers might be using the internet to help their studies.
The research suggests that inequality emerges, even in countries with near-universal internet access.
"Equal access does not imply equal opportunities," says the report, and a lack of familiarity with using the internet for information will have a negative impact in areas such as studying or looking for jobs.
More stories from the BBC's Global education series looking at education from an international perspective and how to get in touch
This happens within countries, but the study also reveals big differences between countries - with teenagers in wealthier northern European countries more likely to use the internet for getting information, rather than playing or socialising.
Finland and Iceland have the highest levels of teenagers using the internet for information, followed by Estonia, Norway and Slovenia.
There were also higher-than-average educational uses of the internet in Denmark, Hong Kong, Poland, Germany and Singapore.
In Mexico, Jordan and Turkey young people were much more likely to go online to play games and much less for news or information.
Those spending the longest time online were also from Nordic countries, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. And in a number of more affluent European countries, including Belgium, Finland, Denmark and Germany, poorer families spent longer online than wealthy ones.
The UK did not take part in the section of the survey comparing types of computer use, but it did provide data for overall internet access.
This showed very high levels of online access in the UK for both rich and poor.
It was among a group of countries including the Nordic nations, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Hong Kong, where the wealthiest and poorest quarter of the young population almost all had the internet at home.
This was in contrast to countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Mexico and Peru where poorer families were much less likely to have internet access.
In such countries, the report says school plays a much more important role in ensuring that young people have access to information and communications equipment.
The report says that there have been efforts to narrow such gaps in access, but a more valuable response might be to focus on making sure that all young people have strong literacy skills.
"Ensuring that every child attains a baseline level of proficiency in reading will do more to create equal opportunities in a digital world than will expanding or subsidising access to high-tech devices and services."
But the findings were criticised as "simplistic" by Mark Chambers, chief executive of Naace, the UK body supporting the use of computers in schools.
He rejected the idea that it should be a choice between either improving reading or focusing on digital skills, as both were mutually beneficial.
Mr Chambers said it was no surprise that the wealthy would have the most confidence and take the most advantage of new technology.
And he questioned whether internet access at home was really the same for rich and poor, suggesting that it did not mean that all young people had equal access to broadband and their own computer.
"In the UK, homes of students from a low economic, social and cultural background often don't have landline phones and internet access through them, relying instead on mobiles," he said.
Schools should work to reduce social divisions, he said, rather than "retrenching to Victorian approaches".
Mr Hemingway, his wife Gerardine, and the HemingwayDesign team will create the overall scheme and branding for the disused Dreamland site in Margate.
It is hoped that stage one of the project to turn the site into a £10m heritage park will open in 2014.
Mr Hemingway said he was "excited about bringing a new vibrant life to an iconic British seaside institution".
"Having visited Margate over the past few months and seen the grassroots creative revolution that is taking place, we are thrilled, nay cock a hoop, at the potential of the place and can't wait to get stuck in," he said.
"We fully understand the scale of the task but with the creative community of Margate and environs we can deliver something of international significance."
The park will be run by the Dreamland Trust, which will be given the site by Thanet District Council for a peppercorn rent.
Chairman Nick Laister said he had no doubt HemingwayDesign would bring the trust's proposals for the site to life, exceeding its expectations.
"Wayne and Gerardine and their team have a genuine passion for the British seaside and for the Dreamland Margate project," he said.
"I am delighted to welcome them on to our team."
The heritage amusement park is seen as vital in the regeneration of Margate, along with the Turner Contemporary art gallery which opened further along the seafront last year.
A statement announcing the decision on behalf of President Thein Sein was broadcast on state television.
He said that the move would enable the military to help restore order in the riot-hit town, south of Mandalay.
At least 20 people are reported to have been killed since the violence began, but exact figures are unclear.
A BBC reporter who has just returned from the town said he saw about 20 Muslim bodies, which local men were trying to destroy by burning.
Meiktila MP Win Thein told the BBC Burmese service that scores of mostly Buddhist people accused of being involved in the violence had been arrested by police.
He said that he saw the bodies of eight people who had been killed in violence in the town on Friday morning. Many Muslims had fled gangs of Buddhist youths, he said, while other Muslims were in hiding.
Mr Win said that that violence that recurred on Friday morning has now receded, although the atmosphere in Meiktila remains tense.
Police say that at least 15 Buddhist monks on Friday burnt down a house belonging to a Muslim family on the outskirts of the town. There are no reports of any injuries.
In pictures: Burma violence
The disturbances began on Wednesday when an argument in a gold shop escalated quickly, with mobs setting mainly Muslim buildings alight, including some mosques.
Fighting in the streets between men from rival communities later broke out.
Meanwhile people in the town have told the BBC of food shortages because the main market in the town has been closed for the last five days.
Hundreds of riot police have been sent into Meiktila. They have been seen hurriedly evacuating crowds of men and women from their burning homes.
However they have been accused of doing little to stop the razing of entire neighbourhoods and the accumulation of casualties from both communities.
The BBC's south-east Asia correspondent Jonathan Head says that the eruption of communal anger uncomfortably echoes what happened in Rakhine state last year, where nearly 200 people were killed and tens of thousands forced from their homes.
The conflict that erupted in Rakhine involved Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims, who are not recognised as Burmese citizens. Scores of Rohingyas have fled what they say is persecution in Burma in recent months.
The government has yet to present any long-term proposals to resolve that conflict, our correspondent says, and simmering fear and mistrust between Buddhists and the country's Muslim minorities has boiled over in the more open political climate prevailing since the first elected government in half a century took office two years ago.
Meanwhile residents in Meiktila have complained that police have struggled to control groups of people on the streets armed with knives and sticks.
Most of these men are Buddhists, police say, angered over the death of a Buddhist monk who suffered severe burns on Wednesday.
A survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors found price growth across the UK fell from 7% to 1%.
It said Scotland's Land and Building Transaction Tax bands created a "bottleneck", discouraging some sales.
The Scottish government insists LBTT is "more progressive" than stamp duty and "benefits the vast majority" of buyers.
The transaction tax was introduced in April 2015 as a replacement for stamp duty north of the border.
Holyrood's finance committee declared the introduction "operationally successful", but concerns have been aired about the top end of the market.
The latest residential survey from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) found the lowest levels of price growth around the UK since 2013.
Estate agents said may people considering moves in Scotland were instead making improvements in their existing homes, due to a limited choice of properties for sale.
Rics believes LBTT bands are part of the problem, with policy manager Hew Edgar saying: "This latest survey merely reinforces what we have been saying for some time - that the current LBTT bandings are creating a bottleneck in certain areas of the market, and encouraging property powers to eschew moving in favour of improving their current properties.
"The Scottish government must address this problem by reviewing the LBTT framework and putting in place a structure that would inject some much-needed fluidity into the market."
The group's chief economist Simon Rubinsohn said sales activity across the UK had been slipping in recent months, and said the latest surveys suggested "this could continue for some time to come".
A Scottish government spokesman said the Rics survey was "not backed up by the latest property data", arguing that the Scottish housing market had outperformed other parts of the UK in the first half of 2017.
He said: "Since the introduction of LBTT, 93% of taxpayers have paid either less tax compared to SDLT (stamp duty land tax) or no tax at all.
"We will continue to monitor all parts of the market closely. More generally, we have committed continuing with our shared equity programmes which will enable more people to realise their dreams of home ownership."
Where can I afford to live?
Hundreds of people were evacuated from the campus building when firefighters were called to the third floor blaze at about 10:30 BST.
The fire service is now working with UEA staff to establish what chemicals were in the laboratory.
Twelve engines were dispatched to the incident. Nobody was injured.
Roy Harold, from Norfolk Fire and Rescue, said: "We understand two members of staff were working on some chemicals and there was a small fire in a fume cupboard.
"We've now sealed the area off... but we've got breathing apparatus crews taking gas monitoring equipment to check there no leakage of chemicals from the lab.
"The risk in a lab like this is there's a whole host of chemicals in the lab and it's taking a little while to compile a full list of what's up there.
"We'll need to make sure we work carefully in that making one chemical safe, we don't cause a risk with one of the others."
The rest of the university is running as normal.
More than 500 delegates from more than 50 unions will take part in the four-day event in Liverpool, held by the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
It comes as unions prepare to step-up their campaign over pay .
A TUC poll has suggested a majority of workers have seen their pay fall behind inflation in recent years.
Commissioned for the conference, the poll found half the work force think their employer could afford better pay rises than staff have been given.
"We've seen the economy recovering, prices going up, profit margins going up," said the TUC's general secretary Frances O'Grady.
"The only thing that isn't going up is people's wages and people feel pretty determined that now is the time that Britain needs that pay rise."
Ms O'Grady told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show many workers were "not sharing" in the benefits of the economic recovery and predicted both industrial action and protests would take place in future months.
The national minimum wage for workers over 21 is set to rise to £6.50 next month, the first real-term cash increase since 2008.
But she urged Chancellor George Osborne to commit to the TUC's call for fresh increases in the minimum wage, and for employers to begin paying the "living wage", a measure pegged to actual living costs in specific areas.
This week unions representing about six million members across the public and private sectors will debate issues including jobs, the economy, public services and TTIP - a planned EU/US trade deal.
A series of motions will call for unions to step-up their campaigns for better pay including taking co-ordinated industrial action.
Following a one-day strike in July, public sector unions are planning further action in October, according to Dave Prentis, general secretary of one of the largest trade unions, Unison.
"There is no doubt whatsoever that in the week starting the 13 October we will be taking action, not only in local government but also in the health service and other public services," he said.
Local government workers are expected to strike on 14 October.
Health workers are also likely to take industrial action that week as hundreds of thousands of NHS staff are currently being balloted. Unions claim that 60% of NHS staff were denied a pay award this year.
The TUC is also organising a march and rally in London on 18 October on the issue of pay.
At the conference, Ms O'Grady will also highlight the Conservative Party's plans to curb industrial action with higher thresholds in strike ballots.
She is expected to describe the plans as a "fundamental attack on human rights that takes the UK towards the kind of regimes seen in undemocratic authoritarian states".
The 10-team table incorporates results from all formats of the game - one-day internationals, Twenty20 and Tests.
Australia are the ODI and T20 world champions, and beat England in this summer's multi-format Ashes series.
"These are undoubtedly exciting and historic times for women's cricket," former England captain and ICC women's committee chair Clare Connor said.
The ICC rankings will be updated at the end of each series.

A disciplinary panel found PC Simon Ryan of North Yorkshire Police guilty of gross misconduct.
It also heard he defaced a suspect's CV with the words "kiddie fiddler" and "paedo" during a child abuse inquiry.
The panel concluded the appropriate sanction "was dismissal without notice, demonstrating the gravity attached by the panel to the gross misconduct".
Live updates on this story and others from North Yorkshire
PC Ryan, who did not speak at the hearing, had earlier apologised for what he said was "a poor practical joke".
Afterwards, PC Brad Jackson, deputy secretary of North Yorkshire Police Federation, said: "This has been a very difficult period in PC Ryan's career and personal life which he accepts was brought on by his own doing.
"[He] has apologised unreservedly for his actions and extends his apology to the public and people of North Yorkshire.
He said the federation would "continue to support Simon as he moves forward".
Panel Chairman Lindsey Hall ruled PC Ryan had breached six standards which police officers should uphold and had shown a lack of respect.
She told him: "The public have the right to expect the highest standards of behaviour and conduct from the police officers who serve them."
She said his admission of defacing the CV would have to be disclosed if he was allowed to remain in his job and if he was involved in searches as part of criminal proceedings. That would affect his operational ability to carry out his duties, she said.
Guy Ladenburg, for the defendant, had urged the panel to allow him to continue on the force and described him as a "diligent and hard-working" officer of 13 years' experience.
He added: "This officer intended simply to make a joke for the benefit of his colleagues. We recognise, of course, how inappropriate that is."
The panel heard PC Ryan found the CV at a house during a search into an allegation of a sex offence involving a child in January 2015.
He amended it to say "abusing children" in the section marked "interests" before showing it to colleagues, the hearing was told.
The panel was told he did not record it as evidence and later destroyed it at Northallerton Police Station.
Ten days later he was on duty wearing the hat both in the office and while on patrol.

The phones haven't stopped ringing ever since Dr Biju and his team of scientists announced their latest discovery - an extraordinary tree frog thought to have died out more than a century ago. The usually quiet and cosy book-lined lab with a frosted glass door which says 'The Frog People' is unusually frantic.
But right now, the 52-year-old amphibian researcher - The Economist called Dr Biju the "closest thing Indian herpetology has to a celebrity" in 2011 - is talking about the purple frog, a brand new family of amphibians he discovered in 2003.
This bizarre, pig-nosed frog, found in Western Ghats, a mountain range and a biodiversity hotspot that runs along the western coast of India, uses shovel-like limbs to burrow the earth and live as deep as 20ft (6m) under the ground. National Geographic described it as a frog with a "chubby, purple body and pointed, pig like snout... and unlike any frog on earth".
"People say it is a weird looking frog, but I find it beautiful. It looks like a turtle and sounds like a chicken. They are also very smart," says Dr Biju. They emerge during the first monsoon shower to mate, and the males call out to attract the females.
"This frog changed my life, it made me what I am today."
That was two years after the researcher published a controversial paper that claimed that up to 200 frog species were still undiscovered in India where the amphibian is generally associated with a pond frog or a common toad. "Many people said I was bluffing," says Dr Biju.
More than a decade later, the maverick researcher stands vindicated.
In the last 15 years, Dr Biju - called the frog man of India and the frog fanatic, among other things - and his team of scientists have discovered 89 of India's 388 frog species. He reckons there are some 100 species which remain undiscovered - enough to keep him working for a while.
It has been a long, strange trip for Dr Biju.
He was born in a farming family in a remote Kerala village on the edge of a forest, which is now a small town. He grew up bathing cows, feeding chickens, living in nature and protecting the crops from the depredations of wild animals. He went to primary school - which doesn't exist now - late, around the age of 11. "Getting educated late actually helped," he says with a wry smile. "I spent a lot of time with nature, observing animals. This taught me more than any science books."
Dr Biju then travelled to Trivandrum to pick up a degree in botany from one of India's oldest colleges. He also finished a doctorate in plant evolution before landing a job as junior scientist with a state-run research facility. His job was to explore plants and find out more about their utility.
"But plants bored me, I was not happy with them. I wanted to study something which moved," he says with a disarming childlike candour.
So Dr Biju used his modest salary to buy a camera and a motorcycle and began travelling into the forests in southern India and found that frogs drew him more than anything else. Along the way he did his second dissertation - this time on amphibian evolution and the conservation of the frog-rich Western Ghats - from a university in Brussels.
He believes he turned to frogs because Indians are obsessed with tigers, elephants, leopards - "our three most charismatic animals" - and birds. "We neglect our extraordinarily diverse bio-diversity. I have, at least, got people talking about frogs."
And how. Listen to Dr Biju talking about his discoveries, and you realise that he is no pedant, but a sprightly man of science who is, at once, erudite, energetic and passionate about his slimy subjects in equal measure.
Tell me about your most favourite frog discoveries, I ask.
There's a meowing night frog with a "secretive lifestyle"; another one with a "unique parenting style" - both parents watch over the eggs until they hatch; a loud singing night frog he discovered in a cardamom plantation; and foot-waving dancing frogs with "bizarre courtship rituals".
Then there's the smallest Indian frog, less than 11mm (0.43 inches)-long which can sit on a coin.
And this week, he announced the golf ball-sized frog that lives in tree holes up to 6m (19ft) above ground, which may have helped it stay undiscovered.
Frogs have an extraordinary history of evolution of more than 350 million years, he adds, "possibly the oldest animal with a backbone, having witnessed five extinctions".
The Frankixalus jerdonii - as the latest discovery has been christened after Mr Biju's adviser herpetologist Franky Bossuyt - was a serendipitous discovery when the researcher and his students were digging in the day looking for frogs in Meghalaya state. As evening fell, Dr Biju says, they heard "a full musical orchestra coming from the treetops".
"It was magical.
"So we began climbing the tree. We went up 7ft and spotted the tadpoles. Much later we realised that we had stumbled on to a major discovery." Most tree frogs live closer to the ground.
Over the next seven years, the frog man and his students collected more specimens, compared it with other tree frogs around the world, looked at their behaviour, outer appearances, skeletal features, and sequenced their genetic code.
Then they identified the frogs as part of a new genus, meaning it has a new name. And they found an amazing quirk - females laid their fertilised eggs in tree holes filled with water, only to return after the tadpoles hatched, to feed them unfertilised eggs.
But the new tree discovery is a work in progress, says Dr Biju.
"How do they breed? Do they come down from the tree? Does the mother stay with the babies? We are still trying to solve a lot of unanswered questions."
The search for answers will continue, as will Dr Biju's amphibian journeys.
Every monsoon, the researcher and his students will trek to the mountainous rainforests of southern India and north-east to look for the frogs. (For a riveting account of an expedition, read this.)
Here is where the frogs, acutely sensitive to climate and habitat changes, are struggling to fight extinction. There are some 7,000 species of frogs in the world, and Dr Biju reckons half of them are on the verge of extinction.
"That is why we have to keep on working. All my discoveries are accidental. We don't plan on finding new frogs. You go out into the forests and spend time there."
Dr Biju says he has no other interests in life. The last time he went to see a movie was when his students dragged him to the theatre to watch Avatar. His wife has a doctorate in plant breeding and genetics. His two daughters aren't interested in frogs: they will possibly pursue careers in liberal arts and medicine.
"I have my friends and I have my frogs. I sometimes wonder what my life would be after frogs."

"Without this frog, I would be a nobody," says Sathyabhama Das Biju, sitting in his laboratory in Delhi University, on a cold overcast afternoon.

But if you find yourself feeling lonely, what can you do about it?
For many people, loneliness is not solved overnight - but people from all walks of life, including single fathers, millennials in a new city, widows, teenage mothers, and happily married husbands, have told the BBC their tips for making their days a bit brighter.
"At St John Fisher Church in North Harrow, we started a knitting group for ladies at home to get together over a cup of tea and knit for charities. We laugh and chat all afternoon." - Teresa Arrigo
"My saving grace was the internet - I found a group for widowed people called Way Up (for the over-50s. Way is for the under-50s). The group showed me that after I was widowed I discovered that, despite people expecting me to get over it, all the different emotions I experienced were normal and OK." - Angie Cole
"My lifesaver is the internet - websites for counting penguins and watching a guy and his chicken sail around the world." - Diane Keel
"I am a single dad. My loneliness hit me when I had to sell the business to look after my young children full-time. What helps now is going to the gym and a bit of voluntary work while the kids are at school." - Qamar Qureshi
"I am often lonely. I am currently in the USA as my husband is on secondment and knew no-one when we arrived. I cannot work, so the days are long. The solution for me is to get out, even if it's only for a walk - it helps as you usually see someone to say hello to. I also joined a gym, which gives structure to my week." - Helen Stenson
"I am a mum of two young children, and I definitely found that going to baby groups when they were little and mixing with other parents helped me to stop feeling as lonely. I still try to go to groups with them now, when I can. As much as you might not feel like going out, it does help, and it feels like a real achievement when you do, so that is a boost too." - Emily Holbrook
"I am 79 years old and was always feeling lonely in the evenings - I told my daughter that I would like a kitten, so she searched a cat sanctuary and I chose a little black one and called him Barney. He was eight weeks old when I got him, and he has completely changed my life around because he wants attention all day. I cannot imagine my life now without him. I am disabled but manage to look after him very well, and he is a happy little boy of five months." - Joan Gutteridge
"My cat - she is a constant companion at home and a real comfort. I have to keep going to make sure she has everything she needs, and she relies on me as her significant other. She has become more cuddly, which I find makes me happy." - Kerry Williams
"When I reached rock-bottom, I signed up to volunteer for two charities - one helping disadvantaged families and children, and the other in conservation work. I also joined a community choir, got an allotment - and adopted a cat. I am beginning to feel a lot more connected to my community, and a lot less lonely." - Nancy Saunders
"I offered my time to Age UK, and I help in a day centre. I've met lovely people, and, even better, I'm giving something to the community." - Ruth
"Self-employed people like me struggle. I worked as a video producer and TV repair person from home for over 20 years. I employed a part-time co-worker, scheduled meetings with other professionals once a month, joined a networking breakfast group, joined a gym for badminton classes, joined a club (in my case a video club) - any excuse to meet up, especially with other like-minded professionals." - David James
"Join the University of the Third Age. It is a collection of older people who want to follow new interests or carry on with existing ones. There are groups for cycling, motorcycling, cooking, languages, sewing. The list is endless - all you need to do is contact their local group, you will be given a warm welcome." - John Watts
"My advice would be find your local toddlers' club. I now attend one with my grandson and have made new friends. Also join the library - ours has great children's story times." - Nina Kent
"A few months ago, I came across a phone app called Meetup. It's changed my life already. I've been on a few 'meetups' and met some lovely groups of normal people. I've been on walks, quiz nights, [a] comedy show, booked a weekend in Cornwall and even started Kung-fu." - Keith Littlebury
"I use the internet to overcome loneliness - I use YouTube for music, documentaries and stand-up comedy. Laughing helps a lot." - Kerry Williams

Loneliness in the UK is an epidemic affecting people of all ages and backgrounds, according to a commission started by the murdered MP Jo Cox.

A letter signed by the prime minister on the green baize table of the cabinet room yesterday afternoon makes real the consequences of Britain's vote to leave the European Union nine months ago.
Once the document arrives in Brussels at lunchtime, passed formally into the hands of the European Council, the triggering of Article 50 begins the process of Britain leaving the European Union - a partnership of nations in which the UK has played its own role for more than four decades - for good, or ill.
The prime minister will promise later to represent every person in the country during what are likely to be fraught negotiations, including those EU nationals who have made their homes here, whose future is still uncertain.
Theresa May will also urge the country to come together, hoping this moment could spell the end of a fractious debate between Leave and Remain. The government's main priorities are clear - withdrawing from European law, controlling immigration and striking a free trade deal from outside the European single market.
Yet there are tensions in Parliament, in the prime minister's own party, between Holyrood and Westminster, and of course, among the public over what Britain's future could, or should look like outside the European Union. She, and we, have two years to work it out.
Theresa May of course was a Remainer to start with, if not the most full-throated advocate for the EU during the referendum campaign.
But after the bloody Tory infighting in the campaign's immediate aftermath, she is sometimes described as being the "last grown-up left standing".
There are doubts in Westminster about the government's capacity to deal with the complexities of what lies ahead, doubts about the Tory Party's capability of sticking together when it gets tough, doubts about the opposition's ability to carry out the kind of intense scrutiny required while this vital set of decisions are debated and discussed over the next two years or so.
Above all perhaps, doubts about whether what Theresa May is asking for is even vaguely realistic. What she does or does not achieve in these negotiations will determine her, and the country's, future.

Chinese officials are not renowned for giving straight answers. But in Guangzhou, China's manufacturing megacity, they are quite candid about the need to give equal rights to migrant workers.
Is this one of the biggest challenges China is facing, I ask Chen Hao Tian, an official representing the government of China's third city.
"Yes," he says simply.
Migration from the countryside has provided the cheap labour that has fuelled China's boom. Half of the 14 million residents here are migrant workers.
But in recent months, each week has brought news of strikes in factories in Guangzhou and other cities across Guangdong province.
There has been rioting, too. In Zengcheng, an outlying suburb, migrants from Sichuan fought against locals, overturned cars and torched buildings in a sudden outburst this summer.
Chinese factory workers want better pay - and in Guangzhou a number of strikes have achieved this objective.
But another problem for the migrant workers is discrimination under the legal system, which denies them the same rights and access to public services as the city dwellers they live alongside.
The frustration of factory workers matters to Guangdong, which wants to keep migrants coming to the province to keep its factories growing.
But Mr Chen, a senior official at Guangzhou's reform and development commission, says the city is beginning to address the problem.
"Migrant workers live and work in this city and we must provide them with basic rights and benefits," he says.
"If they can't educate their children or find decent housing, they'll be dissatisfied with the government."
I arranged a clandestine meeting with a group of migrant workers who were among hundreds who took part in a recent walkout from their factory.
It was a bold act in a country where the authorities traditionally maintain an iron grip on social order. But in Guangdong province, strikes over pay have been increasingly tolerated - perhaps as an outlet for migrant anger.
"Our country is developing so quickly, but we migrant workers seem not to be sharing in the fruits of that progress," says Yang, a 22-year-old worker from a village in Hunan province.
"The pressure is building up inside us."
Another worker, Deng from Shaanxi, has concerns about his two children, who he has sent away to live with relatives in the country.
"I hope that when my kids grow up, there will be no difference between urban and rural," he says.
He is referring to China's hukou or household registration system, designed under Chairman Mao to manage population movements.
Under Chinese law, everyone is registered in their home town or village and must access education, housing and welfare there.
Migrant workers cannot change their hukou to an urban one.
For Deng, this has prevented him sending his two children to local schools. City schools that accept migrant children often make them pay extra, almost a year's salary, as a "voluntary" payment.
Most migrants can't afford it, so in many cases their children do not go to school at all.
People with rural registration also get charged more than locals for healthcare, housing and other basic welfare.
Factories are meant to support migrants without a local hukou registration, but many employers fail to purchase proper employee insurance.
And this social discrimination, mixed with the rising cost of living and frustration with employers, is a recipe for social conflict.
"There is a lot of conflict, and if it's not managed there will be a lot of unrest and disharmony," says Professor Peng Peng of the Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences.
He is one of a chorus of academics and journalists who have been highlighting the issue.
Providing migrant workers with further rights, and higher incomes, should also be good for the global economy, because it means they can become more active consumers - buying goods produced in China by both local and Western companies.
Guangdong is generally known as progressive place that has led China's economic liberalisation. But the government's social reforms have begun slowly.
"We can't abolish hukou overnight," Mr Chen of the Guangzhou government tells me. "There is a huge cost associated with that."
Research has shown that each new hukou permit issued to a migrant worker will end up costing the city 1.2m yuan (£122,000; $188,000) in the long term, because of the extra resources used up by migrants and their children.
There are also the fears of other city residents to take into account - for example, that schools and hospitals will be stretched.
"That's why we're creating a points system - it's just like the system that countries such as the UK or USA use for migration," says Mr Chen.
"We want to attract immigrants here to Guangzhou based on their skills."
In practice, anyone who wants a new hukou must satisfy a long list of qualifications, including educational attainment, property ownership, and community service.

Only 3,000 new permits have been issued so far, out of a population of seven million migrant workers. Most poor migrants remain shut out.
Dee Lee, who runs a non-profit helpline for factory workers, takes hundreds of calls a day. Many young callers tell stories of an affront, big or small, to their sense of dignity.
"Workers in the past would say they didn't care about discrimination, they just want to earn enough money and go back [home]," he explains.
But most workers now were born after 1980. They have been brought up in a China of micro-blogs and web cafes. They would rather spend their time at pop concerts than digging fields.
They want to be consumers - and that is something China's leaders and the West now welcome.
So the "rural" status on their registration cards looks increasingly anachronistic.
"The migrants enjoy their life in the city, and they won't go back to the countryside," says Mr Lee.
"The pressure is going up day by day. Tension is rising, and the government has acknowledged that."

Metropolitan Police officers were sent to 166 key junctions during rush-hour periods as part of Operation Safeway.
The operation, started in November, was due to end on 3 January but officers have extended it until the end of this week.
Det Ch Supt Glyn Jones said road users were behaving in a "much safer manner".
The operation followed the deaths of six cyclists in a two-week period in November.
Officers said the public's response to the operation had so far been "encouraging".
"We've noticed that road users are generally behaving in a much safer manner, and we have issued fewer fixed penalty notices as the operation has progressed," said Det Ch Supt Jones.
"This week, officers will be out again at key junctions, advising road users and enforcing the law where necessary. We want 2014 to be a safe year for all road users."
Since the beginning of Operation Safeway on 25 November, a total of 13,818 fines have been issued, with 4,085 given to cyclists.
Police said cyclists were fined for jumping red lights, cycling on footpaths and having incorrect lights.
Motorists were given fines for offences including driving without insurance and driving without wearing a seatbelt.
In addition 209 people were arrested during the operation for offences including assault, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and drink driving.
Hawick, Irvine, Clackmannanshire and Fife will benefit from the investment.
It will be used to deliver a range of projects in each area which it is hoped can help to develop the local economy.
The biggest portion of the funding goes to Hawick which has suffered a series of setbacks including the loss of more than 100 jobs at Hawick Knitwear.
Mr Wheelhouse said: "As was made clear in the Programme for Government, we wanted to introduce measures to boost business confidence and keep our economy moving.
"I'm pleased to now be able to confirm the four areas that will receive a share of the £10m, I have no doubt that these projects will help to drive our economy and provide a real benefit to people across the country.
"In the wake of the EU referendum, we have committed to protecting Scotland's interests, particularly our economic interests."
He said they had been working to ensure money reached the areas where it was "most needed".
"Local businesses can be the engines of our economy and strong local economies are crucial to our success," he said.
The full breakdown of the funding is:
It will be used on a range of projects in each area.
The Hawick funding will support a local action plan to "encourage start-ups and retain growing business in the town".
In Clackmannanshire and Fife it will support Longannet task force projects including the creation of business units and enterprise hubs.
The investment in Irvine will help "attract growth companies and investment" in the Irvine Life Science Enterprise Area.
Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire MSP John Lamont described the money as "really good news for Hawick" and renewed his calls to create an enterprise zone in the town.
"In the north of England these zones have created over 8,000 jobs and millions of pounds of private investment, by offering incentives to new businesses such as lower business rates and better broadband," he said.
"An enterprise zone is the best way to ensure that this funding maximises the benefit for the wider community and existing businesses."
The authorities are probing claims that 16 French soldiers abused children at a camp for internally displaced people.
The Guardian newspaper reported that a leaked UN report documented alleged abuses of children as young as nine.
France sent an initial 1,600 troops to the country in December 2013 after violence flared following a coup.
Mr Hollande said there would be "sanctions in line with the amount of trust we put in the army" for any soldiers found guilty of abuse.
"I am proud of our armed forces, and so will show no mercy to those who have behaved badly, if that is the case," he went on.
The defence ministry has said the allegations, if proven, would be "an intolerable attack on military values".
The Guardian said that the alleged abuse took place between December 2013 and June 2014 at a centre for internally displaced people in the Central African Republic capital, Bangui.
Quoting an internal UN report, it says that in one case, a nine-year-old boy and his friend were forced to carry out a sex act by two French soldiers.
In some cases, it says, children were able to give good descriptions of the French soldiers alleged to be involved.
Latest news updates from across Africa
On Wednesday, the Guardian newspaper reported that a United Nations worker was suspended after leaking the report to French authorities.
A spokesman for the UN Secretary General said the leaking of an unredacted report constituted "a serious breach of protocol" and could endanger victims and witnesses.
France intervened in its former colony in December 2013, nine months after a rebel alliance, Seleka, captured the capital and ousted President Francois Bozize.
The country descended into ethnic and sectarian violence, with thousands of people fleeing their homes and the UN warning that there was a high risk of genocide.
The UN took over and expanded the African peacekeeping mission in September 2014.
Stockton Borough Council is considering plans to make support and intervention available earlier and nearer to home.
The new system would mean children attending a school near where they live rather than travelling to specialist placements, the council said.
Cabinet member Ann McCoy said it wanted them "to have the very best chance of reaching their full potential in life".
She said: "We have already spent a lot of time talking to schools across the borough and now we are keen to hear from anyone who has an interest in these services so we can listen to and consider everyone's views before a final decision is made."
The council wants to concentrate other provision such as occupational and speech and language therapy into hubs in central, south and north Stockton.
It is consulting on the changes.
No child would need to move from an existing placement because of the changes, it said.
Nathan Dyer scored the game's only goal, with visiting keeper Tom Heaton failing to keep out his low shot.
Burnley came close to equalising through Lukas Jutkiewicz and David Jones in the second half.

But Swansea withstood the pressure and, following last Saturday's first league win at Manchester United, are level on points with top-of-the-table Chelsea.
Defeat for Burnley, meanwhile, leaves them still searching for a first Premier League point of the campaign, although their battling display will have been encouraging for manager Sean Dyche.
Swansea boss Garry Monk named an unchanged team from the opening-day triumph at Old Trafford, with new signings Federico Fernandez and Tom Carroll left out of the squad.
Burnley also stuck with the same side which lost 3-1 to Chelsea on Monday, although Stephen Ward was named on the bench after joining from Wolves.
The opening defeat by Chelsea was a chastening reintroduction to Premier League football for the Clarets, who were overwhelmed in midfield, and they were similarly outnumbered by Swansea.
The hosts stretched their opponents at every opportunity, with wingers Dyer and Wayne Routledge particularly threatening in the opening exchanges.
Routledge created early chances for Wilfried Bony and Gylfi Sigurdsson, but it was Dyer who opened the scoring.
Latching on to Sigurdsson's through ball, Dyer scampered into the penalty area and shot low into the net despite a touch from Burnley keeper Heaton.

Swansea were well worth their lead and, apart from a swerving 20-yard shot from Burnley striker Danny Ings, Monk's men were not troubled during a comfortable first half.
They faced a reinvigorated Burnley side after the restart, however, and the visitors were close to equalising when Jutkiewicz headed narrowly over after an hour.
Jones then had a shot palmed wide by Lukasz Fabianski, while Swansea brought on summer signings Bafetimbi Gomis and Jefferson Montero for Bony and Dyer as they sought to regain the initiative.
Although Gomis and Montero injected pace and urgency into the home attack, it was the Swansea defenders who were most influential in the closing moments.
With captain and centre-back Ashley Williams a steadying presence on his 30th birthday, the Swans repelled a flurry of late Burnley attacks to cling on to a second successive win and consign the Clarets to another defeat.
Swansea manager Garry Monk: "It's a fantastic start and great to have six points.
"It's the best start we could have had, but we know we are only two games from being on your back and getting dragged down.
"We have to build on what we've done and improve on mistakes."
Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "We showed them too much respect in the first half and that can happen for a team that's just been promoted.
"I want them to play with freedom, quality and energy and I thought we did that in the second half.
"I want us to be brave, but not in a naive way. We want to play on the front foot, create chances and win games."
Jacqueline Patrick, 54, of Durning Road, Norwood, south-east London, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder on her husband Douglas, 70.
Their daughter Katherine, 21, admitted encouraging an indictable offence.
Family arguments were believed to have motivated the pair, police said.
Inner London Crown Court heard two attempts were made to murder Mr Patrick - once in October 2013 and once on Christmas Day 2013.
On Boxing Day of 2013, he was taken to King's College Hospital having collapsed at the family home.
His wife gave paramedics a note purporting to be from her husband, which was actually faked, stating that he did not wish to be resuscitated, police said.
He was placed in a coma and found to have antifreeze poisoning.
When he regained consciousness on 8 January 2014, he told police he remembered having two drinks of the cherry-flavoured fruit wine on Christmas Day, and feeling far drunker than he should have before going to bed.
He also told officers he had suffered a similar collapse in October 2013, which he and his wife had put down to drinking bootleg lager.
Mobile phones belonging to Jacqueline and Katherine Patrick showed numerous text messages between the pair, discussing three separate attempts to poison Mr Parker between 26 October and 26 December 2013, police said.
Det Insp Tracey Miller from Lambeth police said Patrick Snr was "motivated, it is thought, by family tension and arguments between herself and her husband and the victim and their daughters".
She added: "Mr Patrick came very close to dying and while he lay in his hospital bed fighting for his life, his wife told lie after lie to cover her tracks."
Patrick and her daughter Jacqueline will be sentenced on 2 November.
Tyrone Clarke, 16, was attacked by a 20-strong gang in Beeston on 22 April 2004.
Although four people were later convicted of murder, police said a "large number" of people were involved and the case remains active.
Lorraine Fraser, Tyrone's mother, said they had "got away with murder".
Speaking on the anniversary of his death, she said her "nightmare" can only end when the people involved come forward.
"I don't know who stabbed my son. There was over 20 people there that day, but somebody did," she said.
"There were more involved than the four who were prosecuted. People got away with murder that day."

Tyrone Clarke was stabbed in the suburb's Brett Gardens after he had been chased by the gang.
He was attacked with weapons including metal poles, planks of wood and CS spray.
Three men and a 17-year-old boy were convicted of murder in 2005 and jailed for life.
A fifth suspect, Qasim Majid, fled to Pakistan and remains wanted by police.
Ms Fraser said: "It is a nightmare, its hell. It never goes away.
"The images I saw that day of my own son laid out dying in the street. They never leave me. I have to live with that every day.
"I need some closure. I want to grieve properly, but I can't because I know there are people out there who have evaded justice."
West Yorkshire Police said the force remained committed to finding the remaining suspects.

Mae'r cabinet i fod i gwrdd ar 20 Mehefin lle mae disgwyl i gais gael ei wneud i drosglwyddo'r penderfyniad terfynol o ddwylo'r Cabinet i'r Cyngor llawn.
Bu'r cyngor yn ceisio gwerthu cartref Bodlondeb, sy'n cyflogi 33 o staff, ers dwy flynedd.
Mae'r safle yn costio £400,000 y flwyddyn i'w gynnal, ac mae angen gwaith adnewyddu ar yr adeilad yn ôl adroddiad gan swyddogion y sir.
Dywedodd undeb y GMB y bydd cau'r cartref yn creu "gwagle mawr" yn y gofal sy'n cael ei gynnig yng nghanolbarth Cymru.
Ar hyn o bryd mae gan Bodlondeb 13 o drigolion - 11 yn barhaol a dau dros dro.
Mae gwelyau i 44 yn y cartref, ond dim ond 26 sydd wedi eu cofrestru, gan nad yw'r gweddill yn cyd-fynd â'r safonau angenrheidiol.
Mae Bodlondeb hefyd yn gallu cynnig gofal dyddiol i hyd at bump o bobl. Ar hyn o bryd mae un person yn mynd yno dau ddiwrnod bob wythnos.
Dywedodd Cyngor Ceredigion bod llefydd gwag mewn cartrefi eraill yn y sir, a bod hyn yn ei dro yn adlewyrchu'r newid sydd wedi bod yn natur gofal yr henoed.
Yn gyffredinol, yn ôl yr adroddiad, mae pobl yn hŷn wrth symud i ofal preswyl, a hynny gyda gofynion mwy cymhleth.
West Yorkshire Police said the body of a woman in her 20s was found in a house in Holker Street, Manningham.
Officers said she had suffered stab wounds and that they were looking for a man in connection with her death. It is being treated as a "domestic related incident", they added.
Reports suggest the woman was pregnant but police have not confirmed this.
Det Ch Insp Jim Dunkerley said: "The body of a woman was found by police and paramedics inside a property on Holker Street. She had suffered fatal stab wounds."
He said the death would "understandably cause a considerable amount of distress" in the community, adding: "To reassure local people we have increased patrols by neighbourhood officers in the area and I do not believe there is any wider danger to members of the public."
In one incident, a stone smashed through a Great Western train window and entered the cab, but no one was injured.
A windshield on a freight locomotive was also broken in the other incident near Trowbridge Road Bridge on Saturday at about noon.
British Transport Police have branded the incidents dangerous and reckless.
"Fortunately, both drivers were unharmed however, as you can imagine, it has left them feeling incredibly shaken," said investigating officer PC Matt Dando.
The 47-year-old will play the part of Creon in the drama. Jodie Whittaker, from Venus, St Trinian's and Attack the Block, will take the title role.
Antigone begins previews on 23 May and will be directed by Polly Findlay.
Eccleston - soon to be seen in BBC One thriller The Fuse - last performed at the National in 1990.
That was a production of Abingdon Square. The same year he also starred opposite Sir Ian McKellen in Bent.
Antigone, presented here in a version by Don Taylor, is an ancient Greek tragedy telling of a young woman who defies an edict saying her brother's body cannot be buried.
That brings her into conflict with Creon, a ruler desperate to gain control over a city ravaged by civil war.
Christopher Nigel May, 50, denies murder at Cardiff Crown Court.
Tracey Woodford, 47, was discovered at his flat in Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff, in April.
In his closing speech, prosecution barrister Roger Thomas QC said Mr May had repeatedly lied throughout the case, adding: "It's impossible to believe barely a word he says."
Mr Thomas told the jury Mr May was able to "carry on oblivious" and was "totally unmoved by the smell and the scene in his flat for a period of three-and-a-half days".
He said he did not believe Ms Woodford had agreed to sexual contact with Mr May, adding: "We submit that fragile woman did tell him where to go and it cost her her life."
Accusing Mr May of lying, he said: "The suggestion he was acting at any time in self-defence is nonsense.
"He claims self defence but he can't remember what he did. He could have restrained her and pushed her away, but not kill her."
The jury was told Mr May's second defence of loss of control was "a manufactured defence".
Mr Thomas also said that during the murder "sorrow and remorse are noticeably absent [but] sexual desire and anger are noticeably present".
"One thing that is certain is that she didn't go to his flat for sex."
Reminding the jury of the medical evidence of how Ms Woodford had been strangled, Mr Thomas said he showed "cold blooded resolve".
Mr May failed to call an ambulance and see if she could be revived, he added, but instead "he sits down, has a fag and decides to chop her up".
In defence barrister Malcom Bishop QC's closing speech he reminded the jury that Mr May accepts he killed Tracey Woodford.
He said he acted in "self defence" but added if the jury rejected that they should consider that he "lost control".
"It can be explained by blind panic. It was a crazy plan to conceal a body by dismembering - remembering his early days as a butcher. It is crazy," he told the jury.
The trial continues.
Naweed Ali, Khobaib Hussain and Mohibur Rahman pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in 2012.
They and a fourth man, Tahir Aziz, deny preparing for acts of terrorism between 25 May and 27 August 2016.
The judge warned the Old Bailey jury not to let last Wednesday's Westminster terror attack influence their decision.
Naweed Ali, 29, Khobaib Hussain, 25, both of Birmingham, Mohibur Rahman, 32 and Tahir Aziz, 38, both of Stoke-on-Trent were arrested last August in the West Midlands.
Police seized a meat cleaver, a long sword and a partly-built pipe bomb.
The Arabic word for "infidel" was scratched onto the blade of the cleaver.
The court heard how in 2012, Mr Ali and Mr Hussain had travelled to Pakistan intending to train for terrorism and Mr Rahman had admitted possessing copies of a terrorist article.
In both of the cases the men had been under surveillance.
Mr Justice Globe said "no one is suggesting that these defendants on trial before you are in any way connected to any of the events of last Wednesday or the person responsible or to any of his associates."
The men were arrested as part of an operation involving the security services and undercover police officers.
The court heard that on 26 August 2016, Mr Ali arrived for his first shift at a company called Heroes Couriers in Birmingham, not knowing that his new boss Vincent was actually an undercover police officer.
Mr Hussain had already started working for Vincent a few week earlier.
When Mr Ali went out on a delivery, officers searched the Seat Leon in which he had arrived for work and found the partly constructed pipe bomb and machete.
He said the weapons were nothing to do with him and denied conversations with his co-accused were about planning an attack.
Mr Aziz's Ford Fiesta was also searched on the same day and a Samurai sword was found by the driver's seat, the jury heard.
Police examined the defendants' phones and computers allegedly revealed they held extremist views.
They found Mr Rahman had made computer searches for "liquid bomb plot" and Mr Aziz's phone contained partly deleted files with instructions on how to make home-made poisons and bombs.
Gareth Patterson, prosecuting, told jurors the evidence showed that the planned attack in the UK was "imminent".
He told the court it was not necessary to identify which people were to be attacked or when or where it was to happen, "although clearly it would be in the UK".
During the trial, members of the press and public were sent out for 20 minutes so jurors could hear secret evidence from two unnamed prosecution witnesses.
One of the fires started at an automobile distribution site not far from the epicentre of the blasts.
Three other fires were burning within the core blast site, and rescue crews have been dispatched to the scene.
Sixty people are still missing after the 12 August blasts, which also injured at least 700.
Thousands of people saw their homes destroyed or made too unsafe to return to. Authorities have promised to compensate residents.
The blasts happened at a warehouse storing hazardous chemicals in Tianjin's port. What caused them is still unclear and a massive clean-up is continuing, with thousands of police and soldiers deployed.
One of the new fires was reported to be in the depot where at least 3,000 cars were incinerated and may have been caused by leaking fuel.
Officials say the blast site is contaminated by more than 40 dangerous substances, among them the highly toxic sodium cyanide.
Thousands of dead fish have washed up in Tianjin's Haihe river, a few kilometres away from the blast site.
The Chinese authorities say the fish were killed by low oxygen levels in the water - a seasonal occurrence.
However, many in the area suspect the fish may have been killed by cyanide poisoning, the BBC's Celia Hatton reports from Beijing.
The warehouse, owned by Ruihai International Logistics, was less than 1km (0.6 miles) from at least three residential complexes, flouting Chinese law.

How safe is Tianjin?
Facing continuing public fury, local authorities have in recent days been giving more information on chemical contaminants in waste water and in the air.
However, the full list of chemical names has not been released.
The government says that the person in charge of warehouse logistics is too badly injured to speak, making it difficult to know exactly what was inside the warehouse at the time of the blast.
The man got out of his van and walked over to the lorry after being held up during rounds on the Tan y Bryn Estate in Valley.
When the driver rolled down his window the man spat in his face before leaving, officials said.
They called the attack "disgusting and cowardly".
Biffa, who have held the contract for collecting waste on Anglesey since 2004, said the incident was a "new low" for the company.
Regional manager Andrew Dutton said: "This was an unprovoked attack on a member of staff who was out doing his job for the community."
Meirion Edwards of Anglesey council said the incident was cowardly.
"We realise that sometimes people get annoyed if they're held up by recycling lorries, but all we ask for is a little patience," he said.
"Unfortunately, this incident wasn't captured on CCTV - but members of the public should be aware that most of the Biffa wagons are now fitted with cameras.
"As a council, we won't tolerate any aggressive or violent behaviour toward our contractor's staff, and will fully support Biffa with any future prosecutions."
The A470 Llanidloes bypass has been shut in both directions since the collision between the man's Peugeot 207 and a DAF lorry at about 06:40 GMT.
Police said the road would be closed until Tuesday evening, with journeys between Newtown and Llangurig affected.
A diversion via Llanidloes town centre is in place.

Residents were moved from St Joseph's Specialist Care Home in Chesterfield following a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection in May.
A 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault.
The newly-published CQC report rated the service as "inadequate".
It said people living at the home were "not protected from abuse that could potentially breach their human rights".
"During our inspection we identified significant shortfalls in all aspects of the running of the home," the report states.
Concerns raised include:
"During our inspection one person disclosed to inspectors and the provider that a member of staff had ridiculed them," the report states.
"We were not assured that staff treated people with dignity and respect."
The home, run by Aspire Specialist Care Limited, is now closed.
It previously accommodated up to seven younger adults with learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder.
The CQC inspected the home in January and asked for action to be taken to improve care.
These improvements had not been made by the time of the May inspection, so Derbyshire County Council found new homes for the five residents.
Derbyshire Police said the 49-year-old man arrested, who is from Matlock, is still on bail pending further enquiries.
The BBC was unable to contact Aspire Specialist Care Limited.
Daniel Quintero Riestra was arrested on a boat just off Isla Mujeres, a popular tourist spot near Cancun.
Mr Quintero has been charged with kidnapping and murder.
Prosecutors believe he is behind the murder of the Minister of Tourism for Jalisco, Jose de Jesus Gallegos, who was shot dead in Guadalajara in 2013.
Security official Renato Sales said Mr Quintero had been arrested without a shot being fired.
He said Mr Quintero was one of a list of 122 people seen as "priority targets" by the Mexican government.
Mr Sales said Mr Quintero headed a cartel responsible for much of the criminal activity in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco state.
He did not name the cartel, but the area is controlled by a group which calls itself Jalisco New Generation.
While not as powerful as the Zetas or the Sinaloa cartel, Jalisco New Generation demonstrated its strength in May when it shot down an army helicopter in Jalisco.
Six soldiers were killed in the attack.
Even though the Mexican security forces have succeeded in arresting a number of senior cartel leaders over the past years, cartel-related violence remains a huge problem.
It is thought that about 100,000 people have been killed in the past decade as a result of cartel-related violence in Mexico.
Geraldine O'Riordan, Guernsey States Prescribing Advisor, said it was down to a range of measures including an increased use of generic drugs.
She said the island's use of generic drugs over branded medicines was among the highest in the world, having risen from 38% in 1997 to 88% in 2012.
Ms O'Riordan said costs were also being reduced by a drop in overprescribing.
"Quality is really, really important, the generics we use come from the UK supply... they're made by a very small number of highly reputable companies," she said.
Guernsey's Social Security Minister Allister Langlois said it was a "significant saving" and meant medicine was prescribed to those in need "at a cost that is sustainable".

Swans midfielder Leroy Fer scored after dispossessing Cahill following a heavy touch, with referee Andre Marriner allowing the goal to stand.
An animated Cahill said: "It's a clear foul. Come on, seriously.
"It was clear as day and seeing it back has made me even more angry."
Analysis: 'Chelsea right to feel robbed by referee'
Cahill, who has posted a clip of the incident on social media labelling it "incredible", went to see Marriner after the game.
He added: "I said to the referee, 'there's three of you that can see that'.
"There were two fouls on me and between the officials they have said that they couldn't see it. For me that is incredible."
"I took the touch away from him [Fer], he came through the back of me.
"It's all fun and games for the fans - but it's the players who suffer. That kills me and kills my team. We have dropped two points which is massive in this league."

Chelsea controlled the first half, taking the lead through Diego Costa but Swansea levelled from the penalty spot after Gylfi Sigurdsson was tripped by Thibaut Courtois.
And when Cahill miscontrolled a pass from John Terry, Fer took the ball from him to score.
In a heated second half Costa - who equalised with a late overhead kick - was involved repeatedly in spats with Jordi Amat and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte wants referees to protect his striker.
"Every game the press ask me about the patience of Costa, his behaviour," Conte said.
"His behaviour was fantastic. Today he took a lot of kicks.
"I think the defenders know him and sometimes they try to provoke him. It's football and it's normal in this situation. They try to provoke but it's football, not only in England but in general in the world. The referee must see it and permit Diego Costa to play his football."
Chelsea captain John Terry ended the game limping and was seen leaving the stadium on crutches.
The Blues are next in action on Friday when they host Liverpool (20:00 BST kick-off).
But Conte said: "I don't know the extent of the injury. Tomorrow we will see the situation about his ankle. He's a warrior. I'm not worried."
A crowd in the village square pleaded in vain with the militants to spare the man, Reuters news agency reports.
Northern Mali has been overrun by Islamist and Tuareg rebels following a coup in Bamako in March.
The Islamists have vowed to implement strict Sharia law, despite strong opposition from the local Muslim population.
Last week, a couple who had sex outside marriage were stoned to death in the town of Aguelhok, controlled by the Islamist group Ansar Dine.
The group has also destroyed ancient shrines in Timbuktu, denouncing them as promoting idolatry.
Mali's weak interim government said the amputation in Ansongo - carried out by the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao) group - was a "vile act".
Military intervention in the north was now inevitable, it said in a statement.
'Sharia demands it'
Mujao official Mohamed Ould Abdine said the amputation was in accordance with the "law of God", the AFP news agency reports.
"Sharia demands it," he said.
A local government official said dozens of people saw the amputation, AFP reports.
"There was a lot of blood when the hand was cut. It was the hand of a thief who stole a motorbike," he said.
On Sunday, scores of protesters in the main regional town of Gao, about 100km (60 miles) from Ansongo, prevented Islamists from carrying out an amputation.
Mr Abdine said the sentence had only been postponed and would be implemented.
Officials from the West African regional body, the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), the African Union and the United Nations have been meeting in Bamako to discuss military intervention in the north.
They hope to come up with enough details for the deployment of a force to win the backing of the UN Security Council, which has so far refused to endorse military intervention in Mali, the BBC's West Africa correspondent Thomas Fessy says.
The Islamists took power in alliance with Tuareg rebels fighting for a separate state, but the two groups have since fallen out.
Satirist Jan Boehmermann said he doctored the video, which caused controversy after airing on German TV.
But he later said the clip had been taken out of context.
Mr Varoufakis denies making the sign. The row comes ahead of crucial talks between Greece and EU leaders.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will meet leaders on the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels on Thursday as the risk of Greek bankruptcy rises.
Mr Varoufakis praised Mr Boehmermann for mocking the row after the comedian released a satirical video apparently showing his team doctoring the footage.
"We politicians need you badly," Mr Varoufakis said on Twitter.
The footage from 2013 shows him saying that Greece should announce that it is defaulting and "stick the finger to Germany", while he makes an offensive gesture.
Mr Varoufakis denied using the gesture and said the footage was a fake after it was shown during the Guenther Jauch weekly talk show on Germany's ARD channel on Sunday. He called for an apology.
Mr Boehmermann, host of satirical programme Neo Magazin Royale on public broadcaster ZDF, later released a video claiming to have doctored the footage using 'green screen' technology and editing software.
But later in the video he says Mr Varoufakis was incorrect to say the footage was a fake and that it had been taken out of context.
Addressing Guenther Jauch, he says: "You simply took it out of context and gave him the run-around, so that the average German could pursue their passion for being angered."
Mr Boehmermann's video sparked contrasting media reports and fierce discussion on social media, with the hashtag #varoufake trending worldwide.
Broadcaster ZDF said on Thursday it was considering highlight the satirical nature of the Neo Magazin Royale show in the future.
Meanwhile Mr Varoufakis has posted a link on Twitter to what he said was "undoctored" footage of him speaking at a 2013 event in the Croatian capital, Zagreb.
In the 57 minute-long discussion, he talks about the eurozone crisis talks in 2010, and says he had suggested at that time that Greece should "stick the finger to Germany", while using the offending gesture.
Earlier in the week, the man who said he filmed the event also said the clip had been taken out of context.
Martin Beros said German television stations and other mainstream media channels had sensationalised the incident.
"The serious political and economic situation is being presented as if it is reducible to gestures and posturing."
The dispute between Greece and its international creditors is not on the formal agenda of the EU summit in Brussels this week, but talks are expected to take place on the sidelines.
The country's new leftist PM needs EU support for reforms to unlock vital funds, avoid possible bankruptcy and a eurozone exit.
He has pledged to end austerity - but his plans have met resistance from Greece's EU creditors, with Germany among the most critical.
Greece negotiated a four-month extension to its bailout last month after tense talks.
Eurozone leaders say they are are ready to extend help on Greece's €240bn (£176bn; $272bn) bailout until the end of June.
Kerber went down 6-2 6-2 in one hour and 22 minutes, leaving her number one status in the balance.
Both Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova have the chance to take top spot for the first time with good runs in Paris.
However, Halep is recovering from injury and Pliskova fell in the first round last year.
That is symptomatic of the uncertainty in the women's draw that led Halep to claim up to 15 players are in with a chance of winning the title.
Kerber, a first-round loser last year as well, barely figured among the favourites on the eve of the tournament.
Although her defeat might have been a shock in terms of rankings, with Russia's Makarova at number 40 in the WTA standings, it was no great surprise.
The 29-year-old from Bremen has been struggling for form this year, reaching just one final and winning only three matches on clay heading into Roland Garros.
Kerber only regained the number one ranking from Serena Williams after the American stepped away from the tour as she awaits the birth of her first child.
I have to try to forget the clay-court season as soon as possible
While Kerber fully merited that status last year, when she won the Australian and US Opens, the German arrived in Paris ranked 13th for the year so far.
The superb footwork, tenacity from the baseline and all-round aggressive defence that took her so far in 2016 have deserted her in 2017.
That has left her old frailties exposed, with a weak serve broken six times by Makarova on Philippe Chatrier Court.
After falling 5-1 down on her way to losing the first set, Kerber rallied late in the second, but the clinical edge has also gone from her game.
A final tally of just two break points converted from 16 illustrated that lack of certainty in the key moments.
"Last year was a completely different year," said Kerber. "The pressure is always there but this year the expectations are much bigger, especially in the big tournaments and the Grand Slams.
"And the expectations are also from me really big, of course, because I know what I can do, what I did last year.
"But right now I think I have to find myself again and just try to forget the clay-court season as soon as possible and then reset and start from the grass courts again."
Makarova, 28, goes on to face Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko in round two, and will feel she has as good a chance as anyone to feature in the latter stages.
American Venus Williams beat China's Wang Qiang 6-4 7-6 (7-3) on the 20th anniversary of her debut at Roland Garros.
The 10th seed hit 44 unforced errors in an untidy display but goes on to face Japan's 90th-ranked Kurumi Nara.
Nara beat American wildcard Amanda Anisimova who at 15 years and nine months is the youngest player in the women's main draw since France's Alize Cornet in 2005.
Anisimova, ranked 267, won the first set but Nara fought back to win 3-6 7-5 6-4.
When Venus lost her only French Open final appearance in 2002 to sister Serena, Anisimova was just nine months old.
Amesbury-based Mears Care Limited was criticised in a Care Quality Commission (CQC) report after it made unannounced visits in June and July.
The report found standards were not being met in five areas including medicine management, staff training and support and quality of service.
Alan Long, from Mears, said it had put in an action plan to improve standards.
Mears took over the contract, from Careline, in May, to look after the elderly in their homes.
Mr Long said an unexpected number of staff then left, leaving Mears "unable to operate properly".
He said the company "sincerely apologised" to the service users and their families who had seen "their service deteriorate since May".
He said: "The office staff left without notice and the majority of care staff left with them, leaving us with very poor cover."
Adrian Hire, whose 92-year-old mother died last month, said he could "not help wondering" if his mother "may have lived longer" if Mears had not been responsible for her care.
"Her health slowly diminished when Mears got involved," he said.
Councillor Christine Crisp, from Wiltshire Council, said they were looking "very carefully" at the action plan submitted by Mears.
She said: "What Mears have to do now is answer the criticisms of the CQC. The CQC will have to re-inspect to make sure Mears have lived up to their promises.
"At the same time, Wiltshire Council will be looking to ensure that our patients and people requiring care are getting it."

Christine Ohuruogu, Annika Onuora, Eilidh Child and a strong final leg from Seren Bundy-Davies, 20, saw the women finish behind Jamaica and USA.
The men took third from Jamaica by four thousandths of a second, as USA claimed gold ahead of Trinidad and Tobago.
Martyn Rooney, who anchored the team, told BBC Sport: "I knew I had got him."
Croydon runner Rooney, who became a first-time father during these championships, was given the baton with USA and Trinidad and Tobago in front of him, but found himself down in fourth when Jamaica's Javon Francis surged past him.
However, Francis tired in the final 20 metres as Rooney snatched bronze on the line.

"It has been a special week having my first child," said Rooney.
"I did not want to go home empty handed, I wanted to bring something back to my wife to make it worthwhile. Hopefully she is proud of what I have done. I can't wait to meet him."
Earlier, the women produced a superb performance to comfortably win bronze.
Child, who was sixth in the 400m hurdles final and on the third leg, said: "I didn't have a great championship individually but to come out with these girls, they pick you up and you get another chance to get a medal."
Genzebe Dibaba's hopes of a double at these championships were blown away by Ethiopian team-mate Almaz Ayana.
Ayana made a devastating break with three laps remaining to win the women's 5,000m final in 14 minutes 26.83 seconds.
Dibaba, who won the 1500m, was also denied a silver by another countrywoman, Senbere Teferi, who caught her in the final 50 metres and pipped her on the line. The pair finished almost 18 seconds behind Ayana.

Briton Steph Twell finished 15th in 15:26.24.
Kenya's Asbel Kiprop won his third men's 1500m world title with a brilliant sprint finish. The 26-year-old produced a kick from near the back of the field with 250 metres remaining to eventually win in 3:34.40. Compatriot Elijah Manangoi claimed silver from Morocco's Abdalaati Iguider.
Great Britain's Charlie Grice, in his first major championships, finished ninth in 3:36.21.
Canada's Derek Drouin won the men's high jump following a jump-off. Drouin, China's Guowei Zhang and Ukranian Bohdan Bondarenko all failed at 2.36m in the sudden-death, but the Canadian was the only one to clear 2.34m. Zhang and Bondarenko shared silver.
Germany's Katharina Molitor denied China's Huihui Lyu with a final-round throw of 67.69m to take javelin gold. The Chinese athlete took silver with 66.13m, with Sunette Viljoen claiming bronze with 65.79m.

In the first event on the final day, Ethiopian Mare Dibaba won the women's marathon by one second from Kenya's Helah Kiprop after a thrilling finish.
The 25-year-old outsprinted her rival, 30, on the home straight to win in two hours, 27 minutes and 35 seconds and give Ethiopia their second gold.
Bronze went to Bahrain's Kenya-born Eunice Kirwa, 31.
Kenya's Edna Kiplagat, who won the last two World Championships marathons, came fifth, having dropped off the leading group about 2,000 metres from the finish.
Demonstrators erected dozens of tents in Chisinau's national square where tens of thousands took part in a mass rally on Sunday.
They called for action after living standards were damaged by the fraud.
The state was forced to bail three banks out last year after $1bn (£655m) vanished from their coffers.
A leaked report said a 28-year-old businessman, Ilan Shor, was the main co-ordinator and beneficiary - but in an exclusive BBC interview he proclaimed his innocence. Much of the money passed through UK companies.
The missing money caused a rapid depreciation of the national currency, the leu, and a decline in living standards.
Protesters have demanded resignation of President Nicolae Timofti and other officials, including the governor of the national bank, and early parliamentary elections.
Organisers from the Dignity and Justice movement said supporters would stay camped out near the government building in the city's main square until their demands were met.
Tens of thousands took part in one of the largest protests ever seen in the ex-Soviet country on Sunday.
Many directed their criticism at Moldova's super-wealthy oligarchs - a source of much anger in one of Europe's poorest country.
Sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova signed an association agreement taking it closer to European Union membership last year, despite opposition from Moscow.

Recruits to Tilbury station in Essex were singled out and endured physical and indecent abuse in the late 80s and early 90s, Basildon Crown Court heard.
Anthony Benham, 50, of Stanford-le Hope, and Ian Maguire, 55, of Benfleet, pleaded not guilty to indecent assault.
They also denied 10 counts of false imprisonment between 1988 and 1997.
Firefighters have claimed they were tied to a stretcher and hung up in the air, locked in a small room which was filled with water and then urinated upon through a skylight window.
One firefighter alleges he was cling-filmed to a lamppost and had ice blocks attached to his private parts.
In another "extreme prank", a man claims he had a muscle relaxant rubbed over his private parts.
The court was told what happened at the station "went beyond any acceptable practical joke".
Prosecutor Stephen Rose said: "Both of these defendants took advantage of that culture of practical jokes and intimidation to engage and indulge in acts of indecent degradation to new recruits.
"This occurred in a climate of fear in which none of these young recruits felt able to challenge the senior firefighters.
"It would be obvious to both defendants throughout that none of these young men were consenting to any of these incidents of restraint or indecency."
Both defendants no longer work for the fire service, but Mr Maguire later joined the police and Mr Benham retired from ill health, the court heard.
Tilbury fire station closed in 1997.
The trial continues.

The Osprey, 26, has undergone surgery on the foot he injured in Wales' final warm-up game with Italy in Cardiff.
Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny is also unlikely to play in the Six Nations after his knee injury in the same game.
"At this stage, Rhys is looking at a six to eight month period out of action," said Ospreys medical performance manager Chris Towers.
"Rhys sustained a significant foot ligament injury that required surgical stabilisation.
"He has had the surgery and will be non-weight bearing for six weeks and will then wear a protective boot for a further four to six weeks.
"Only after that will we be in a position to progress his rehab."
Webb left the field at the Millennium Stadium on a stretcher during the first half against Italy after his leg was caught in a ruck.

Reigate and Banstead Borough Council has agreed in principle to use compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) for the land off Balcombe Road, Horley.
"It was a very big shock. We are in a very bad state," said Suresh Mara, manager of Jai Ho restaurant, which might be forced out.
The council said major international businesses wanted to move to the area.
Its executive discussed the business park and expressed its willingness to use CPO powers to buy the land on Thursday.
But, residents said they knew nothing about the plan in advance.
Mr Mara, whose business would be affected, said he did not know what was happening.
"Nobody consulted us and suddenly we are getting this news," he said.
"There are 15 or 16 staff whose families will be jeopardised."
Green county councillor Jonathan Essex said the development would use up green space, which separated homes in Horley, Surrey from the West Sussex airport.
"Horley should be a separate town, not just part of the urban sprawl of Gatwick," he said.
Conservative councillor Natalie Bramhall said information about the plans could not be made public previously because it was "commercially confidential".
"Now we have made the decision we will be talking to and consulting with residents, employers and landowners who could potentially be affected," she said.
"Attracting investment is really important in delivering economic benefits for the borough and jobs for residents.
"We have already had offers from major international businesses that want to move on to this site so we could be providing fantastic jobs for the local residents."

Ardwyn, Grungrog, Oldford and Ysgol Maesydre nursery and infants schools will all shut from August.
The area's first Welsh medium primary school will be created at the current Ysgol Maesydre site to replace them.
The council originally dropped plans for a Welsh school in the 1990s in the face of a large campaign. There was just one objection to the latest plan.
A new English-medium Church in Wales school will also be built near Welshpool High School after the council's cabinet backed the recommendations in a report.
The new schools will operate from the existing sites for the 2017-18 academic year.
The 15-year-old's body was found in a wooded area in the West Dunbartonshire town on 21 March. She had more than 140 injuries and been stabbed 61 times.
Paige was last seen entering a deli, owned by 32-year-old John Leathem.
He admitted her murder and claimed to have "panicked" after Paige threatened to report him for sexual assault after she applied for a job.
At the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lady Rae deferred sentence on Leathem until next month and told the married father-of-two: "This was a savage, frenzied attack on a child."
The court heard that Paige, who was 4ft 8in, had stayed with a friend in Clydebank the night before she was killed.
She had gone into the delicatessen, on Fleming Avenue, to buy a roll before travelling to a hairdressers where she worked in Kirkintilloch, about 12 miles away.
CCTV footage played in court showed Paige entering Delicious Deli at 08:21. Leathem is believed to have killed her shortly afterwards.
Prosecutor Iain McSporran told the court: "That was the last time she was seen or captured on CCTV alive by anyone other than by Leathem."
Just 10 minutes after Paige entered the deli, the shutter to the front door was pulled down.
Leathem told the owner of a nearby hairdresser who had peered in: "What a morning - the lassie didn't turn up. I had a nose bleed and I need to collect my car."
After collecting his car and parking it outside the deli, Leathem began his attempt to cover up the murder.
CCTV images showed him running to neighbouring shops to buy bin bags and anti-bacterial wipes.
Shortly afterwards he is seen taking Paige's body from the deli to his car.
Mr McSporran said: "The body of Paige Doherty was wrapped in what appeared to be black bin bags...her white socked foot protruding.
"He placed her body in the rear of the car and closed the boot."
Leathem went on to change his trousers and bought bottles of bleach before going back to his shop.
Mr McSporran told the court: "The shop then remained open for business with Leathem fully engaged in preparing food and serving customers until 3.15pm that afternoon."
Prosecutors believe he had initially moved Paige's body from his car to his garden shed.
Concerns were raised that night when no-one had heard from Paige. Her mother Pamela Munro went to police and a missing person inquiry began.
The day after the murder Leathem went on a family outing to Balmaha with his wife and young child.
On 21 March, two days after the murder, Leathem is believed to have moved Paige's body.
His car was filmed on CCTV at the area where her body was dumped - a wooded area close to the city's Great Western Road, less than a mile from the deli.
He then returned to the deli and opened for business.
At around noon that day, two people found Paige's body within undergrowth.
A post mortem examination later recorded 61 stab wounds, including 43 to her head and neck, and 85 further cuts - many of them described as "defensive in nature".
As police launched a murder inquiry, Paige's mother Pamela Munro wrote on Facebook: "We are absolutely devastated, as will many people who know her will be xxx."
Detectives later discovered that Paige had gone to the deli on 19 March "but had not walked away".
Leathem's shop, home and car were searched, after which he was detained.
Leathem initially denied any involvement with Paige's death but later admitted his guilt in the face of overwhelming evidence against him.
His lawyer told the court that Leathem had been a "normal and ordinary person" before the murder.
Ian Duguid QC, defending, said what happened was a "gross over-reaction" to a comment Paige allegedly made.
It was claimed the teenager had gone to the deli thinking Leathem may employ her, but that he told her he had other "candidates to interview".
Paige was then said to have told Leathem: "I thought I was getting the job. I will just say that you touched me."
Mr Duguid said Leathem suddenly stood up at this comment before Paige started screaming.
The advocate went on: "At that point, he reached across for a knife...he went to grab the knife and stabbed her."
Mr Duguid concluded: "It is not my position that the nature of the comment would mitigate the number of stab wounds or the brutality of the attack.
"I don't know if it is true or not, but I am only taking the instructions of the accused for what took place."
The QC added that Leathem had always "accepted responsibility" for the death.
The court also heard a number of victim impact statements from Paige's "heartbroken" family.
Her mother Pamela revealed how she continues to suffer "sleeplessness and nightmares".
Prosecutor Mr McSporran said: "She describes waking to hear her daughter's screams and the awful realisation that she was not there to help her."
Her husband Andrew Munro - Paige's step-father - was said to be "living in a state of depression".
The advocate depute added: "They cannot get out of their minds the terror they believe Paige must have experienced as the attack upon her began."
Mr McSporran added: "The effect on her siblings - and the loss suffered by her many friends - are all set out in touching detail."
Following the hearing, Det Supt Duncan Sloan, who led the inquiry, said CCTV footage had been "vital" to catching Leathem.
"Officers painstakingly reviewed hours of footage which ultimately revealed that Paige walked into that shop but didn't leave," he said.
"This, coupled with extensive forensic examinations of the crime scenes helped to establish what happened to Paige and who was responsible.
"I am sure that the sheer weight of this evidence has led to the guilty plea at court today."
The detective added: "Our thoughts remain with Paige's family, whose vibrant, bright young daughter has been cruelly taken away from them at just 15 years of age.
"Paige's whole future lay ahead of her and her life has been brutally cut short by the vicious actions of one man."
The victory also enabled them to set a new club record of 21 games unbeaten.
Danny Wright hit the winner, his eighth goal in six games, after just three minutes, when he smashed home Asa Hall's cross.
Tranmere were the last team to beat Cheltenham in the league in September, but they could not repeat that as their own five-match unbeaten run ended.
Cheltenham remain four points clear of Forest Green, with Tranmere in fourth place.
Cheltenham Town boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"It was a great win but a historic win as well, so I'm pleased for this group of lads that we've all got our names in the record books.
"You can't just pick up these points, you've got to go and earn them and we had to earn it today.
"I thought we were magnificent in the first half and maybe should've had one or two more.
"Our defending's been very strong and one-nil is a one-nil - I'd have liked it to be two-nil, but it's great for our supporters to see another win from their team and no goals against."
Elizabeth Kennedy was not allowed to return to her permanent job after she took a five-year career break.
The tribunal found the commission had indirectly broken sex discrimination laws, albeit unintentionally.
It said the commission's actions were "grossly unfair" and the injury to Ms Kennedy's feelings "significant".
She was awarded £7,500 plus £637 in interest, as compensation.
The tribunal found that the commission was responsible for "unlawful, indirect sex discrimination".
Ms Kennedy, who is from Hillsborough, County Down, worked as a legal officer with the commission.
She began her career break in January 2009 and renewed this four times up to the maximum five years, under the commission's career break policy.
She told her employer in September 2013 that she intended to return to work the following January. However, she was not told until December 2013 that she could not return.
She also found out that her position had been filled on a permanent basis by a man, just two or three months after her career break had begun.
The tribunal said the commission had known since at least 2009 that people on career breaks would not be permitted to return.
In its judgement, it said it seemed "extraordinary, as a matter of basic fairness, that this was not made plain to the claimant" on 23 September 2013 when she confirmed her intention to return to work.
It was only in December that she was told it was "unlikely" that a vacancy could be identified or funded to enable her return.
In its decision, the tribunal said that both the commission and the public service union Nipsa had "left an important issue unclear".
The tribunal said it was "clear that the policy was written on the basis that a 'career break' meant what it said on the tin, ie : a break with a departure and a return".
"It was not written on the basis that the acceptance of a career break was in fact a resignation, with no more than a limited form of preferential reinstatement if a suitable vacancy were ever to arise at some indeterminate point in the future," the tribunal said.
It said the Equality Commission's actions were unfair. However, it also said the actions were unintentional and that Ms Kennedy had not argued that any indirect discrimination was intentional.
Awarding the sum of money, the tribunal recommended that the Equality Commission review the operation and wording of its career break policy.
In a statement, the Equality Commission said it was disappointed that the tribunal found aspects of its career break policy to be indirectly discriminatory.
"The career break policy was agreed with the employees' trade union in 2001," the commission added.
"It was a policy aimed at providing greater flexibility for employees.
"Since then a considerable number of employees have benefitted from the policy. The changing financial position and staffing reductions over the past five years resulted in difficulties for the commission in facilitating a return to work for staff at the end of the career breaks."
A passerby said they could "not believe their eyes" as the lorry attempted the bend into the tiny road near the crossroads on the High Street of Streatley, Berkshire.
Tim Schulz, who lives in the annexe of the house, said he heard a "crunch" as the lorry hit the building.
The crossroads next to the 15th Century Bull coaching inn has been shut.
Fire crews on the scene said the lorry had damaged the chimney stack on the house which has been hit.
More on this and other Berkshire stories
Schulz said crews were trying to make the house safe in case the chimney stack collapses further.
He added: "It's pretty insane actually. I don't know how he ever thought he could get round the corner."
Mr Schulz also said the historic coaching inn had "a wedge taken out of it", though he was not sure if the pub or the lorry had "come off worse".
The lorry has now been removed by fire crews, but the A329 Streatley crossroads and B4009 Streatley Hill remain closed while the chimney stack is made safe.
Through fundraising, Liz Sheppard has paid for a relatively new treatment called immunotherapy, which has been described as a "game-changer".
The NHS has not approved its use for treating the very rare type of cancer 36-year-old Mrs Sheppard has.
But a "golf ball-sized" tumour on her neck has already shrunk.

Is the NHS getting more money than it asked for?
Her medical team may write up her case in a journal, saying it could influence the way other patients are treated.
However, Mrs Sheppard is running out of money for the treatment and is trying to raise more through crowdfunding.
"The treatment has never been tested for my type of cancer, so essentially I've paid to experiment on myself," she said.
"I had a huge tumour on my neck that was like a golf ball sticking out, but I got up one morning and the tumour had just gone.
"I've had a fantastic response to it but the money is running out, and it's a life or death situation."
Immunotherapy uses the body's own immune system to fight off cancer.
Our immune system is like a police force, protecting us from diseases.
Normally our immune system spots and destroys faulty cells - like cancer ones - but sometimes these can escape detection and develop into tumours.
Instead of targeting the cancer cells themselves, as many traditional cancer drugs do, immunotherapy reawakens the immune system so it can "remember" the cancer and stop it in its tracks.
A number of immunotherapy treatments are already showing considerable promise.
Mrs Sheppard, who lives in Nottinghamshire, was diagnosed with small cell gastric cancer - a very rare and aggressive type - in November 2015.
She said her first thoughts were for her young daughters, who were aged three, eight and 14 at the time.
She had chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the NHS but started researching other options when she became increasingly ill.
She is now being treated by Leaders in Oncology Care (the LOC), a specialist cancer treatment centre in London.
Jane Lynch, senior lung clinical nurse specialist and respiratory service lead, said Mrs Sheppard was "weeks or short months" away from death when she came to the LOC in October.
"You could see the tumour was growing on her neck and she was really unwell with it; she could barely get out of the chair," said Ms Lynch.
"She was unable to look after her children and she needed help with everyday life.
"She was tearful and she was ready to pack it all in, she felt so unwell. She had no quality of life.
"She had nothing to lose and everything to gain."
She is being treated by Professor Justin Stebbing and has had six courses of the immunotherapy drug - called nivolumab - so far, costing approximately £5,000 to £6,000 every two weeks.
"The difference since she's been on immunotherapy, there's no comparison," said Ms Lynch.
"She has gained energy and the last time I saw her she was like a little firebomb; she could talk for England.
"There is no doubt in our minds that the immunotherapy has had a good clinical effect."
Small cell cancer is usually associated with the lungs, and it is very rare to have small cell gastric cancer, like Mrs Sheppard has.
"She's a complete anomaly because we've never treated a gastric small cell cancer patient with immunotherapy before," said Ms Lynch.
"We would consider writing up her case in a medical journal if there is a continued response.
"What goes on here could change our view of how we think of immunotherapy for other unusual or rare cancers."
However, she stressed not all cancer patients would respond to the drug and it was not a miracle cure.
"We haven't got enough data to say immunotherapy is a cure; we are saying it's a long-term control for certain diseases," she said.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) issues guidance on whether people should have automatic right to a treatment their doctor says they need.
It has recommended nivolumab for use in some types of cancer, but said it had not been asked to look at nivolumab for small cell gastric cancer.
"Before we issue final guidance local bodies make their own decisions about whether to fund a treatment," Nice said in a statement.
Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which has treated Mrs Sheppard locally, has been asked to comment.
The protesters, who have been trying to oust the government for six months, are moving their camp close to parliament and say they will act themselves if the Senate does not.
Last week a court removed PM Yingluck Shinawatra and several ministers.
But a caretaker administration from her ruling party remains in place and says it is working towards polls in July.
Thailand has seen months of deadlock since the protest campaign began in November.
On Sunday regional bloc Asean called for a peaceful resolution to the crisis "through dialogue and in full respect of democratic principles and rule of law".
Over the weekend both pro and anti-government groups rallied in Bangkok, raising fears of violence.
Why Thailand is in political turmoil
Thailand has faced a power struggle since Ms Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted by the military as prime minister in a 2006 coup.
Mr Thaksin and his family are hated by an urban and middle-class elite who accuse them of corruption and abuse of power.
But Mr Thaksin's policies won him huge support in rural areas, and both the elections since the coup have returned Thaksin-allied governments to power.
The current anti-government protesters want to replace Ms Yingluck's administration with an unelected "people's council" to reform the political system.
Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban over the weekend called on the Senate to consult the presidents of Thailand's top courts and the Election Commission and appoint a new prime minister.
The Senate is due to hold a special meeting on Monday on the crisis.
It remains the only functioning part of parliament after February's snap general election - which the ruling party was expected to win - was disrupted by protesters and subsequently annulled.
Government supporters have warned that any move to replace the current caretaker administration - and its new Prime Minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan - could trigger violence.
They are already angered by a court decision last week to remove Ms Yingluck over what it called the illegal transfer of her security chief.
Ms Yingluck's supporters accuse the courts of bias, pointing to previous rulings that have removed Thaksin-allied governments from power.
What remains of Ms Yingluck's administration says it will continue to work towards holding a fresh general election on 20 July.
He smiled as he held the red box aloft in Downing Street, knowing that inside his Budget speech painted a better picture of the public finances than had been previously predicted.
In the House of Commons, his first sentence from the despatch box described an economy that had "confounded commentators" with its "robust growth".
But despite the chancellor's confident demeanour through a speech littered with jokes and jibes at Labour, this was a Budget steeped in caution.
Borrowing figures were better than expected, but the UK still has a hefty deficit, so true to his nickname "spreadsheet Phil" wasn't prepared to splash the cash.
He brushed off the suggestion that lower borrowing made the case for more spending and spoke of the need for responsibility.
He might have relaxed the rules set by his predecessor around eliminating the deficit, but Mr Hammond made the case for balancing the books and placing the economy on a "strong and stable" platform ahead of Brexit.
The UK's impending departure from the EU was barely mentioned, but undoubtedly shaped this Budget.
With Brexit negotiations approaching, the chancellor was keen to keep any financial flexibility to one side in preparation for the uncertainty ahead.
Giveaways were followed by takeaways; measures to help businesses facing hefty rate rises preceded a rise in National Insurance contributions for the self-employed.
There were echoes of George Osborne when the chancellor spoke of the need for a strong economy in order to improve the lot of ordinary working people, as the prime minister has long promised.
But while his speech was heavy on rhetoric, it wasn't packed full of announcements compared to budgets of the past.
Mr Hammond's self-imposed economic restraint was designed to reassure, but Labour called it complacent, criticising the lack of investment in key public services or measures to raise living standards.
And while the government wants to portray confidence about the Brexit process, the chancellor's caution shows he's not entirely convinced there won't be some bumps in the road.
Well, that's what we've all been told.
But some scientists argue this is all a myth - and that just because we keep repeating it doesn't make it true.
So should we bother with breakfast?
Studies repeatedly show that skipping breakfast is more common in people who are overweight or obese.
But this could be a dangerous trap - when the number of ice cream sales goes up so does the number of people getting sunburn. It doesn't mean ice-cream is causing sunburn.
This association might be down to something special about brekkie - or maybe the type of people who eat it are generally more active, have a better overall diet or try to lead healthier lives.
Despite advocating breakfast as part of a healthy lifestyle, a report by the UK's National Obesity Observatory concluded that "it is not clear whether there is a causal relationship with Body Mass Index (weight) or whether breakfast is merely a marker for other lifestyle factors that can contribute to healthy body weight".
The few clinical trials that have actively altered people's eating habits also showed no impact on waistlines.
The biggest, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, told 300 overweight or obese people to skip or eat breakfast for four months.
"There was absolutely no difference whatsoever in the amount of weight-loss," said Prof David Allison, who conducted that trial at the University of Alabama.
"With respect to weight, at least in adults, it looks like we're leaning towards it [breakfast] being a myth."
He says people who are skipping breakfast are probably just trying to control their own weight.
And one danger for skippers who start having breakfast is it could lead to weight gain, if they don't eat less later in the day.
So is government advice plain wrong?
In Prof Allison's opinion: "If they are advising it [breakfast] for weight control then at this point it is not a justified recommendation."
Dr Alison Tedstone is from one of the many organisations around the world that tells us breakfast is a good thing, and she points to studies showing people who skip breakfast tend to be bigger, which we already know is an association.
But Dr Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, agrees that the "evidence is by no means conclusive on having breakfast".
However, she says it is the easiest meal of the day to get right, that skipping it risks snacking on something unhealthy later on and that it can be a struggle to get the right balance of nutrients without starting the day well.
"It's an easy meal to get a healthy meal, it's an easy meal to get control over."
There is no such thing as a perfect breakfast, but Dr Tedstone advises people to "think fibre" in the mornings.
"Overall we're not getting enough fibre in our diet and it's easy to incorporate fibre into breakfast.
"Take porridge - it's cheap, it's cheerful," she said.
As well as porridge, high fibre breakfasts include fruit, wholegrain toast and some breakfast cereals.
But some of the more palatable high-fibre cereals can be loaded with added salt and sugar.
Prof Susan Jebb, a nutrition scientist at the University of Oxford says: "It is very difficult, I think breakfast cereals are very challenging."
She says it's necessary to check the labels as some have less added sugar and that fresh, stewed or dried fruit could be used to make it more palatable.
"I'd encourage people to have a piece of fruit with breakfast - much better to have fruit than fruit juice as then you get the fibre from the intact fruit."
NHS: Healthy Breakfasts
The other big case made for breakfast is that it improves children's performance in school.
A study in 2015 by the University of Cardiff was the latest to show an association between a healthy breakfast and educational performance in the classroom.
These studies are now coming in for the same criticism as those that found a link between breakfast and weight.
"It seems very plausible that missing breakfast as a kid is just a marker of a poor home background - that family is unable to provide breakfast for a child - which is probably the cause of them not performing well at school," argues Prof David Rogers at the University of Bristol.
So how do we make sense of all this?
Prof Jebb argues: "If you're currently eating breakfast I think you should make it the healthiest breakfast you can.
"If you're a breakfast skipper, I'm certainly not going to say you must eat breakfast, but I would encourage you to think about it."
While Prof Allison suggests people who are worried about their weight should give both eating and skipping breakfast a go to see what works best for them - just make sure you're not snacking on sausage rolls by 11:00.
The science behind the benefits of breakfast does not support the absolute vehemence with which it is advocated, at least in adults.
That said I'm still going to have my bowl of breakfast cereal.
It is a good start to the day for me personally otherwise I'm distractingly hungry. I might even try chucking in a bit of extra fruit.

Bowel Cancer UK says conducting more tests sooner would help as it is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in the UK.
In Wales, a national bowel screening programme aims to reduce the number of bowel cancer deaths by 15% by 2020.
The Welsh government is spending an extra £4m to improve diagnostic tests.
The charity's report said the situation in Wales was "particularly poor" with 15% of patients waiting between eight and 14 weeks, and 26% waiting over 14 weeks for a colonoscopy, an internal bowel examination, when they are suspected to have problem.
A Welsh government spokesman said: "Nine out of ten patients newly diagnosed with cancer via the urgent suspected cancer route start treatment with in our 62 day target. This includes having diagnostic tests.
"When talking about general diagnostic waits, that exclude cancer, the eight week wait for specified diagnostic waiting times in Wales is a target which we expect to be met and sustained as a standard.
"To achieve this we have recently given health boards an extra £4m to improve diagnostic tests in Wales. We expect to see significant improvement over the next few months."
The charity also highlighted data from a national colonoscopy audit which it says showed the rate of colonoscopies conducted in Welsh health units fell "woefully short" of the UK average of 32.2 procedures per 100,000 of population with a figure of 23.3 in Wales compared to 46.8 in Scotland.
In Wales, a national bowel screening programme offers a test kit to men and women aged between 60 and 74 to help with early diagnosis of any problems.
Public Health Wales runs the Bowel Screening Wales service in line with other national programmes, including Breast Test Wales and Cervical Screening Wales.
The Bowel Cancer UK report, Right test, right time, says people across the UK are waiting significant lengths of time between being referred and having their test.
It says figures for England show less than 2% waiting more than the recommended waiting time whereas in Scotland performance has dropped, with 6.8% waiting longer than the recommended six week waiting time target.
The health service in Northern Ireland had not met its target of no patient waiting more than nine weeks, according to the Bowel Cancer UK report.
They are part of a network of criminals who used malware to hack into 41 First Commercial Bank machines in three different cities in July last year.
CCTV showed offenders walking away with bags of cash, though most of the money was recovered shortly afterwards.
Police in Thailand believe the case is linked to a similar theft there.
Latvian Andrejs Peregudovs, Mihail Colibaba from Romania and Niklae Penkov from Moldova were all convicted by a Taipei court of causing damage to the public by breaching computer security.
Prosecutors had sought 12-year jail terms, saying the actions "seriously disrupted financial order and caused public panic".
In response to the heist, banks temporarily froze withdrawals from more than 1,000 cash machines.
Another 19 suspects, including one French national and one Australian, are believed to have fled the country.
Ulrik Nielsen, 57, from Gentofte in Denmark, and Alex Beech, 44, from Hull, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud at Inner London Crown Court.
A third man, Andronicos Sideras, 54, of Southgate, north London, denied the same charge and is due to stand trial at the same court on 3 July.
The alleged offence is said to have taken place between 1 January and 31 October 2012.
The men were accused of dishonestly arranging for beef and horsemeat to be combined for sale as beef to be sold in the UK's meat industry.
Nielsen and Beech will both be sentenced after the trial.
Keighley Cougars player Jones, 29, died of a suspected cardiac arrest after collapsing in a League 1 game at London Skolars on Sunday.
Briers says he has been "inundated" by messages from other former Wales colleagues over Jones' death.
"We can't get our heads around it. It's crazy," Briers told BBC Radio Wales.
Jones made 12 Wales appearances, the last against the Cook Islands in the 2013 World Cup, at which ex-Warrington and Wales star Briers was assistant coach to Iestyn Harris.
Wales were winless at that tournament and Briers says Jones' presence helped maintain morale among the squad.
"It's just something you'd never think would happen in this day and age. Everybody's just in shock," he said.
"Danny was genuinely one of the best people you'll ever meet and I'm not just saying that because he's passed.
"He was the funniest bloke in camp. He kept all our spirits high and it needed to be at times in the World Cup.
"I feel so sorry for his family, for his young twins and for his wife. It's just devastating."
Keighley have announced they are retiring Jones' number six jersey in his memory.
Former Wales coach Clive Griffiths was also among those to pay tribute to Jones.

Spieth, 21, broke several scoring records in his four-stroke victory over Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson to claim the only major McIlroy is yet to win.
"He's got four majors, something I can only dream about," said Spieth, who finished six shots clear of McIlroy.
"I look forward to getting in the heat of the moment with him a few more times in the near future."

Texan Spieth, who entered the tournament with a win and two second-place finishes from his last three PGA Tour starts, became the first man to reach 19 under at the Augusta National with a birdie on the 15th in Sunday's final round.
However, a bogey at the last meant he had to settle for equalling the record 18-under total set by Tiger Woods when he won his first Green Jacket in 1997.
Spieth, now world number two, also ended the week with a record number of birdies at the event - 28 - and set new low scores at the end of rounds two and three.
"To shoot some low rounds, make some putts, and hear those roars, it was remarkable," added Spieth, only the fifth man to lead a Masters from the end of round one to its conclusion.
"I know being the reigning Masters champion is going to carry a weight with it. I'm sure I'll figure it out in the next year."
Runner-up Rose is becoming one of the most consistent performers at major tournaments - in addition to his 2013 US Open win, the Englishman has now claimed eight top-10 finishes in golf's showpiece events.
But, having started the day four adrift of Spieth, he only briefly cut the lead to three strokes and pointed to the eighth and ninth holes as the pivotal moments in his round. Rose missed a birdie putt on the par-five eighth and dropped a shot at the next, while Spieth went par, birdie to open a five-shot lead at the turn.
"I got off to a good start but the costly moments were not getting up and down from right of the eighth and three-putting the ninth," said the 34-year-old. "But 14 under round here, I'd take that every year and take my chances."
Mickelson, now a runner-up 10 times in majors, made a stunning eagle from a greenside bunker on the par-five 15th as he closed with a three-under round of 69, but admitted he could not find the "something exceptional" needed to land a fourth Green Jacket.
"I needed to shoot something in the mid to low 60s to get a chance," said the 44-year-old. "I played some great golf but I just got outplayed. I would have taken 14 under at the start of the week and thought that would have won it."
Fourth-placed McIlroy said he would have also taken his finishing total of 12 under at the start of the week but he will have to wait another year to attempt to complete a career Grand Slam of all four majors.
Nonetheless, this was a career-high finish at Augusta for the 25-year-old and he played all four rounds under par for the first time in seven visits to the Georgia course.
"I've played well over the entire weekend, bar a disappointing finish on Saturday, but there are a lot of positives to take from it," said the Northern Irishman, who will also rue shooting 40 on the front nine on Friday. "I didn't quite have enough and it doesn't look like anyone could have kept up with Jordan this week."

Questions had been raised about the wisdom of Tiger Woods' return after 64 days without competition - questions his mark of five under largely answered.
But nine-time major winner Gary Player's assessment of Woods as "the worst driver playing golf" on BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek gained credence in the final round as he found just two of 14 fairways off the tee, to finish in a tie for 17th.
Only three times has he concluded a Masters with a score worse than his final day 73 and he looked to be in some pain on the back nine after injuring his hand playing a shot on the ninth hole.
"A bone kind of popped out and a joint went out of place but I put it back in," said Woods after his third appearance of 2015.
"Considering where I was at Torrey Pines and Phoenix, to make the complete swing change and rectify all the faults and come here to a major championship and contend, I'm proud of that part of it."
Ian Poulter's sixth place is his best performance at Augusta, and his third top-10 finish was built on admirable accuracy from the fairway - he found 59 of 72 greens in regulation, the best in the field.
"The way I've played, certainly the weekend, was a highlight," said the 39-year-old, who still is without a major win. "But it was about the missed chances on Thursday and Friday."
The Englishman ended nine under alongside compatriot Paul Casey, who was "ecstatic" with his sixth top-10 finish to a major.
"It pales in comparison to the top of the leaderboard but it's a golf course I've loved and it's good to be back here," said the 37-year-old, who did not play at Augusta in 2013 and 2014.
Welshman Jamie Donaldson said he "left it too late" as he carded five birdies in the last six holes to end the day five under, level par for the tournament.
World number one Rory McIlroy: "Jordan is 21 and it's great to see - great for the game. And I'm sure he'll win many more."
Phil Mickelson: "He's a tremendous player but he's a tremendous individual too. It's hard not to like the guy, hard not to pull for him."
Justin Rose: "Jordan has put in a phenomenal performance. There are many players in the Tiger era who probably rued [such a dominant player], Ernie Els could have won a bunch of championships if not for one guy and Jordan has that same quality now."
Paul Drechsler will say he agrees with the PM that a deal can be done but it is "wrong" for others to suggest the only choice is to leave without one.
He will say both UK and European firms fear this "worst-case scenario".
Pro-Brexit group Change Britain accused the CBI of being "proven wrong time and again on Europe" and said it should be "more optimistic" about the UK.
Mr Drechsler's speech in London follows similar warnings from the British Chambers of Commerce and former chancellor George Osborne earlier this week.
He will say that business supports the government's plan for an ambitious trade deal and the CBI is working with business groups throughout the EU to work towards a deal in everyone's interests.
"But to those whose first and only choice is for Britain to walk away without a deal, I say you're not only wrong but irresponsible," he will say.
Mr Drechsler argues that if the UK were to revert to World Trade Organisation trading rules in the absence of an EU deal, British firms would face tariffs on 90% of their exports to the EU without an agreement and more "regulatory hurdles" which would hurt firms across the bloc.
He will say that while some businesses are already preparing for such a "worst case scenario", others are unable to do so because the costs are too high.
Theresa May has said Article 50 will be triggered by the end of this month.
While the prime minister has expressed determination to secure an agreement, she has also said that "no deal is better than a bad deal".
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has said the UK can be "ever-more European and ever-more internationalist" at the same time and that there is every reason to believe a "win-win" EU deal can be done within the two-year timeframe for Brexit negotiations.
Mr Drechsler will say that getting a "smooth Brexit" would be in "everyone's interest".
But Change Britain spokesman Chloe Westley said: "The CBI campaigned to join the euro and warned of economic disaster if we left the EU. It has been proven wrong time and again on Europe and there is no reason to suggest that this has now changed."
"It is overwhelmingly in the EU's interests to strike a free trade agreement with the UK. Instead of being pessimistic about our future, the CBI should support the government in getting the best deal for Britain."
And Patrick Minford, chairman of Economists for Brexit, said it was wrong to assume that Brexit without an EU trade deal would be bad for the UK.
"Our research demonstrates that that if the UK removes all import tariffs, even if the EU does not reciprocate, we will add to 4% to GDP and 7.3% to UK treasury receipts, compared to the status quo," he said.
"Our economy can and will flourish outside the single market and we do not need a trade deal with the EU to deliver that."
Star Hugh Bonneville thanked the drama's creator, Julian Fellowes, for "giving us wonderful lines to say".
BBC drama Doctor Foster collected two awards - best new drama and best drama performance for its star Suranne Jones.
The pregnant actress joked she was missing an antenatal class to attend the ceremony.
"If anyone wants to send me tips on how to give birth that would be useful," she said as she collected the award, thanking the drama's writer, Mike Bartlett, for creating "a complex" character.
BBC soap EastEnders was also a double award winner. It beat rivals Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks to receive the prize for best serial drama.
Danny Dyer also received the best serial drama performance prize for a second consecutive year for his role as Mick Carter in the programme.
"I'm so honoured to be part of such a sublime and depressing programme that is EastEnders," he said while collecting his award.
Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were named best TV presenter for the 15th consecutive year.
"It's getting a bit mental now," McPartlin said, "but we thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
Donnelly added: "People ask us does it get boring or old - of course it doesn't. If anything our gratitude has grown over the years as you never know when you're going to get it again."
Ant and Dec show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! won best entertainment - an award it has won every year since 2011.
BBC One show The Great British Bake Off was also named best challenge show for a second consecutive year.
Collecting the award, judge Paul Hollywood said the last series was "the best year we've ever had - the bakers were the best".
Peter Kay's Car Share beat Benidorm, Birds Of A Feather and Not Going Out to win best comedy.
Kay dedicated the award to Scottish comic Billy Connolly, "my comedy hero".
Connolly was presented with the special recognition award at the ceremony in honour of his 50-year career.
Introduced by his friend and Oscar-winning actor Dustin Hoffman, the star paid tribute to the comic, describing him as "an artist in the truest sense of the word".
He said: "Audiences return and new generations come to him not because he makes them laugh, but because he has the gift of inviting everyone uncritically, unconditionally, into his world.
"He exposes truth - no one looks at the world like he does; he turns the ordinary to the extraordinary and he elevates the mundane to the magnificent in the bravest of fashions."
Receiving two standing ovations from the audience, the star joked as he walked on stage: "I'd like to thank the Catholic Church for the rhythm method of birth control - without which I wouldn't be here at all."
He joked with Kay for dedicating his best comedy prize to him, but then not giving the physical award away to him - prompting Kay to climb the stage to hand it over.
Other winners included X Factor winner-turned actor Shayne Ward, who was voted best newcomer for his role as Aidan Connor in Coronation Street.
Strictly Come Dancing won best talent show, with This Morning named best live magazine.
The best factual entertainment award went to Gogglebox, quiz show The Chase won best daytime and US sitcom The Big Bang Theory won best international programme.
A new award was also created this year - the impact award for best TV moment.
It went to Aidan Turner for his torso-revealing turn as Ross Poldark in the Cornish-set BBC drama series Poldark.

Spectators and competitors were left confused during Tuesday's women's synchronised 10m platform final.
The International Swimming Federation (Fina) explained it was caused by water tanks running out of certain chemicals.
But Fina stressed that there was "no risk" to athletes.
It explained that the discoloration was caused by the pH level - or acidity level - of the water being "outside the usual range".
Rio 2016 spokesperson Mario Andrada said: "We did have test events with the same number of divers but we are using the pool for a longer period now.
"The people in charge could and should have done more extensive tests during the day - we probably failed to notice what would happen over time.
"There is no risk to the athletes - an independent group has confirmed that - and the pool should go back to the classic blue colour soon."
The water remained green during the men's synchronised 3m springboard final on Wednesday evening.
Speaking on Tuesday, Great Britain's 10m synchronised diving bronze medallist Tom Daley described the situation as "slightly strange".
However, he admitted the colour helped divers to judge their rotations, as it contrasted with the sky.

In a video appeal, the footballer urged anyone with information about the death of Adam Jones to contact police.
The Wednesbury teenager was hit by a blue Volkswagen Bora which was abandoned at the scene.
A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and bailed, police said.
"As a father, it's difficult to understand what the parents of Adam Jones are going through," said Mr Foster, who has eight England caps.
Adam was killed as he crossed the junction of Beacon View Road and Walsall Road in West Bromwich with his bike at about 19:30 on 26 March 2015.
He was a "huge football fan" and West Bromwich Albion had pledged their support to his family, police said.
Sergeant Paul Hughes, of West Midlands Police said: "We remain determined to bring some closure to Adam's family."
The 18-year-old made his first-team debut for Leeds in their FA Cup fourth-round defeat by Sutton United last season.
"I'm here to play games, score goals and fight for promotion," said Wilks.
"I've been at Leeds since I was 15, this is my first loan spell and I'm excited to get going and make that step up to senior league football."
Wilks has also extended his Leeds contract by one year, keeping him at Elland Road until the end of the 2018-19 season.

Foreign Office minister Baroness Anelay has said such operations can encourage more people to attempt to make the dangerous sea crossing to enter Europe.

The 21-year-old Belgian World Cup forward, who scored 16 goals on loan at Everton last season, has signed a five-year contract at Goodison Park.
Everton boss Roberto Martinez said: "This signing is not just important for this season. It is a significant day in the history of this football club."
Lukaku joined Chelsea from Anderlecht for £18m in August 2011 but played only 15 games for the club.
After signing his contract at Goodison, Lukaku said: "I'm 21, I need to be playing in a good team. I needed to be in a place that felt right.
"I decided very quickly I wanted to come back. This is the place I belong."
Lukaku's transfer breaks the previous record of £15m for Marouane Fellaini when he joined Everton from Standard Liege in 2008.
It was originally thought Everton would pay £23.7m for Lukaku before the club revealed the £28m fee. Chelsea believe the transfer puts them in a strong position to comply with Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who has now brought in £68m after the sale of Lukaku and defender David Luiz, said: "He wanted to play for Chelsea but wanted to be the first-choice striker. That's very difficult to promise.
"Everton made an important offer and financial fair play is something that is always behind the thoughts of the board. This leaves Chelsea in a great position."
Martinez said: "We know that Romelu is still a young man and the potential that he has is quite unique, and we are desperate to see him enjoying his football and to watch him grow as footballer in the years to come."
Lukaku rose to prominence as a 16-year-old with Anderlecht in the 2009-10 season when he scored 15 goals to help clinch the Belgium league title.
He scored 16 the next season and 2011-12 made the move to Chelsea, where he played a bit-part role under Andre Villas-Boas and then Roberto Di Matteo.
Lukaku joined West Brom on loan for the 2012-13 season, scoring 17 goals in 38 games as the Baggies recorded their highest ever Premier League finish of eighth.
Then last season, he was top scorer at Everton as they finished fifth in the Premier League and qualified for Europe for the first time in five years.
Lukaku's exploits at Goodison also helped secure a place in Marc Wilmots's Belgium squad for the 2014 World Cup.
He made four appearances in Brazil, scoring one goal, as Belgium reached the quarter-finals, losing 1-0 to Argentina.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho had already signed two strikers and let two go this summer.
Diego Costa, 25, moved for £32m from Atletico Madrid and club legend Didier Drogba, 36, rejoined the Blues on a free transfer. Samuel Eto'o was released and Demba Ba was sold to Besiktas for £4.7m.

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

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

"So [we were] really going for it. Accuracy [was needed] as well, you've got to take your chances in international rugby and away to France especially.
"It's an excellent environment to play in, with the atmosphere, with the way France approach their home games.
"I didn't have the best start in that game. I was delighted to score a try, and I scored a try in every game that year, that was the stand out.
"It was more the collective, we just were producing so much quick ball. You had unsung players in that team who really stepped up and played well, Glenn Metcalfe was outstanding at full-back,
"Cammie Murray played really well on the wing, Stuart Reid came in for his first cap and was outstanding. The team just played very well that day."
This suggests that the key suspect - a man wearing a yellow t-shirt who left a rucksack at the shrine moments before the blast - is still on the run.
No-one has laid claim to the attack, which killed 20 people.
Artists have meanwhile repaired damage to the statue caused by the blast.
Police say that the two foreign suspects - identified as Adem Karadag and Yusufu Mieraili - they have arrested are thought to be part of a group responsible for the 17 August blast, but do not appear to be the main protagonists.
"Evidence has showed that Yusufu was probably not the yellow-shirt," national police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri told reporters in Bangkok.
He said that furthermore "nothing had confirmed" that Mr Karadag was the chief suspect. Both men have been charged with possessing "illegal bomb weapons", police say.
Police have yet to confirm the nationalities of the two arrested men because they suspect that both used fake identity documents.
Police on Saturday arrested Mr Karadag in a raid on a flat on the eastern outskirts of Bangkok. It was their first blast-related arrest and he has since been subjected to DNA tests.
The samples taken from him do not match the DNA found on evidence that the bomber is believed to have left behind on the night of the attack, police say.
Police say that seven other people are wanted over the crime.
Earlier on Friday repairs to the shrine were unveiled - its centrepiece being a four-faced golden statue of the Hindu god Brahma.
It was damaged in at least 12 places, most obviously the chin of one of the faces.
The shrine is also considered sacred by Thai Buddhists, and attracts many foreign visitors. The unveiling was attended by worshippers and Thai soldiers.
The repairs were carried out by the culture ministry's fine arts department.

Belgium-born Moussa, 26, joins the League One Saddlers after his short-term deal with the Shrimpers finished at the end of last season.
"I'm really pleased to have signed and I feel this is a club where I will fit in nicely," Moussa told the club's official website.
He becomes Walsall boss Jon Whitney's eighth signing of the summer.
Moussa started his career at Southend, scoring eight goals in 103 games, before moving to Leicester City in August 2010.
He had a more prolific spell in two seasons with the Sky Blues from September 2012, where he scored 20 times in 92 appearances.
Moussa rejoined Southend in March on non-contract terms after spending most of last season at Charlton.
"I feel this is a big season for me," Moussa added. "A lot of trust and confidence has been put in me to perform and I really want to do that and hopefully we can have success as a team."
Moussa's deal has an option for a further year and he joins Joe Edwards, Kacy Milan Butterfield, Erhun Oztumer, Florent Cuvelier and Theo Vassell in signing permanent contracts at the Banks's Stadium.
Southampton defender Jason McCarthy and West Ham midfielder George Dobson have also arrived on loan.

Ysgol Dewi Sant in St Davids will open as a new 3-16 school from September 2018 as part of education shake-ups.
Pembrokeshire council wants to redevelop the school site and is considering moving pupils 16 miles away to Tasker Milward School in Haverfordwest.
But it insists "no decisions have been made" and discussions are taking place.
The council sent a letter to the school's chair of governors this week, prompting anger from parents and pupils across social media over a lack of transparency.
Among their concerns were transport, increased travel times and relocating pupils during exam years. They are now calling for a public meeting with the council.
The council said it was in the process of developing a scheme which would result in the part redevelopment of the Ysgol Dewi Sant site as part of its 21st Century Schools Programme.
Its preferred scheme would result in the demolition of an existing school block and the development of new accommodation.
The council said the school "occupies a constrained site" and is considering "various pupil decanting options" including a temporary relocation to another school site.
It is currently considering using part of the Tasker Milward School site and discussions are taking place with the school's head teacher and trustees.
The school reorganisations, approved by Cabinet Secretary for Education last year, will see:

The nine-day Royal National Mòd, which will take place from 14-22 October, was last held in the Western Isles in 2011.
Organisers An Comunn Gàidhealach said last year's event in Oban was estimated to have generated about £3m for the local economy.
The Mòd features music, dance and arts competitions and performances.
This year's opening ceremony will include headline performances by Gaelic group Dàimh and the Mischa Macpherson Trio.
Lewis Pipe Band will also lead the festival's traditional torchlight procession, which is held on the opening night of the Mòd.
John Morrison, chief executive of An Comunn Gàidhealach, said a "tremendous amount" of entries had been received for this year's competitions.
He added: "The Mòd is a huge highlight in Scotland's cultural calendar, attracting Gaels and non-Gaels from across the world to celebrate our diverse range of events and competitions.
"We're delighted to have the Mischa Macpherson Trio and Dàimh play at this year's opening ceremony, setting the tone for what will be a tremendous Royal National Mòd 2016."
Norman MacDonald, convener of the Western Isles' local authority Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, said: "With only a month to go until the Mòd begins with the torchlight parade through Stornoway followed by the opening ceremony at the Lewis Sports Centre, preparations are at an advanced stage.
"The Royal National Mòd brings huge economic benefits to the area at a time when the peak tourism season has more or less come to an end."

Didier Deschamps' side ran amok to underline their pre-tournament billing as favourites.
Olivier Giroud answered some of his critics with the opening two goals and his Arsenal team-mate Laurent Koscielny headed a third before the break.
Substitutions mercifully broke up the second-half rhythm, allowing the Scots to escape with their dignity intact.
The reality is that this performance and result are no indication in helping to answer that question, but the tournament hosts certainly appear to have the quality to do so.
Their midfield options are mouth-watering - the trio of N'Golo Kante, Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi look masterful, oozing power and athleticism.
Giroud has been booed by French supporters and criticised by local media in the build-up to the Euros, but a crafty back-heel and an alert close-range rebound earned him a standing ovation from the Metz public.
Kingsley Coman, Dimitri Payet, Antoine Griezmann and Anthony Martial were also given game time as Deschamps examined his options before Friday's competitive bow against Romania in Paris.
Questions have been asked about the strength of their defence, but Scotland offered no test of that.
Gordon Strachan lamented his side's inability to pass and control the ball in Sunday's 1-0 defeat by Italy and there was little to be pleased about on this occasion either.
They were afforded more possession than against the Italians, but rarely used it purposefully and once again failed to muster a shot on target.
Goalkeeper David Marshall, as he did six days ago, kept the damage to a minimum with a host of splendid saves and will be difficult to displace when the World Cup qualifiers begin in September.
Another small crumb of comfort for the Scotland coach will be an assured display from young Swansea full-back Stephen Kingsley when he came on in the second half, with Rangers winger Barrie McKay also making his senior international debut from the bench.
Pogba ran the show in imperious fashion and twice came within inches of adding a fourth goal, first striking the post with a fierce free-kick before curling another on to the roof of the net.

She is visiting Action for Children centres in Torfaen and Caerphilly.
The duchess took over the role of royal patron from the Queen in December.
Sir Tony Hawkhead, the charity's chief executive, said he was "thrilled" to introduce her "to the specialised work we do with families".
The duchess visited Torfaen Multi-disciplinary Intervention Service (MIST), a child and adolescent mental health project, where she enjoyed an impromptu game of pool with teenagers who use the service.
Craig, 15, who became her team-mate, said: "She was talking about how MIST helps us and stuff with life and school. She was really interested in what we were talking about."
Asked what he thought of her pool skills he pulled a face and said: "She was dreadful."
Children's services manager Jenny Welham said the visit was "important" for the families helped by the project.
"It's a celebration of the hard work that they've achieved and the changes that they've made in their lives," she said.
"Lots of our children come from very difficult backgrounds so to have the duchess come and celebrate with them the changes they've made, is really important."
Later, the duchess was given flowers by Ypapanti, eight, and Chloe, 10, and told them "both George and Charlotte would have loved to have met you".
Chloe said she had always wanted to meet a member of the royal family and had managed to get "five hugs" from the duchess.
The duchess went on to visit the Caerphilly Family Intervention Team, which works with children with emotional and behavioural difficulties, problems with family relationships and those who have or who are likely to self-harm.
She also sat in on a private family therapy session and take part in a round-table discussion to learn more about the issues children and families face and the support Action for Children provides.
Sir Tony said: "We are very grateful to Her Royal Highness for her continued interest in the vital work we do, not just in Wales, but at our 600 services across the UK."
Yorkshire posted 180-5, which included a 31-ball 42 from debutant Sarfraz Ahmed and 34 from Adam Lyth.
Billy Godleman (67) and Wayne Madsen (47) led their chase as Gary Wilson hit the winning runs with two balls left.
Elsewhere, South Group leaders Glamorgan lost in their rain-disrupted match against Gloucestershire.
Having lost just three times in their past 12 outings coming into the game, Yorkshire posed a tough challenge for Derbyshire at Headingley.
But, in a thrilling finale going into the final over, Wilson hit the winning four to finish on an unbeaten 33 from 16 balls as Derbyshire recorded their sixth T20 Blast win this season.
Gloucestershire sealed a dramatic T20 Blast victory by five runs thanks to DLS, as rain played havoc with play against Glamorgan in Cardiff.
Thisara Perera had bowled Jacques Rudolph in the last ball of the fifth over to leave the Welsh county on 32-2 before the rain fell.
Earlier, Phil Mustard hit 57 for the visitors but Michael Hogan claimed a career-best 5-17 to limit Gloucestershire to 150-9.
It means Glamorgan have had four games washed out this season and they are now just a point ahead of Hampshire, while Gloucestershire move up to fourth.
Hampshire ensured a fifth win from their past seven away games as they easily beat Middlesex in front of 20,000 at Lord's.
Without overseas players Brendon McCullum and Tim Southee and England's Dawid Malan, Toby Roland-Jones and Steven Finn, Stevie Eskinazi was the only star of the hosts' innings as they struggled against Hampshire's bowling attack.
Eskinazi hit five fours and one six for his 43 before he was bowled by Mason Crane and the hosts quickly fell to 136 all out, five balls shy of 20 overs.
Rilee Rossouw fired 60 from 47 balls as the visitors made easy work of reaching their target as they posted 137-4 on a balmy north London summer's evening.
Rossouw's half-century was not the only pick of the action at the home of cricket on Thursday though.
Fourteen overs into Hampshire's innings, a fox ran onto the field. Much like the visitors, the staff at Lord's made quick work of the chase.
Northants and Lancashire faced each other in a repeat of the 2015 T20 Blast final, but this time it was Northants who came out on top.
Fresh from their agonising final-ball defeat by Birmingham Bears on Tuesday, Richard Levi hit a tremendous 71 for Northants, which included five fours and three sixes.
Adam Rossington added 29 while captain Alex Wakely posted an unbeaten 35 to set the visitors a target of 159.
Ryan McLaren, aided by Dane Vilas (40), hit a superb 77 to give Lancashire hope of a successful chase - but it was not enough.
Requiring 26 from the final over, McLaren hit two successive sixes before he was caught by Rob Keogh off Rory Kleinveldt (3-16) and the Red Rose finished 11 runs short on 147-9.
With just one win from eight matches, Sussex were rooted to the foot of the T20 Blast South Group table going into their game against Surrey.
However, the south coast county stormed to victory with a huge 6.3 overs to spare in Hove.
Surrey posted 148-8 with Moises Henriques - playing his first Surrey match since breaking his jaw after a collision with team-mate Rory Burns in 2015 - top scoring with 41 but Tymal Mils (3-20) was the pick of the hosts' bowling attack.
Chris Nash hit nine fours and three sixes for his 64 to put on 120 for the first wicket with Stiaan van Zyl (52) as the hosts made easy work of their chase.
Can Derbyshire win the T20 Blast North Group?
If you've got an image in your mind of cheery fish mongers bowing and wishing you the Japanese equivalent of "top of the morning", forget it.
You get pushed and shoved, told "you're in the way!" At every step you're nearly run down by a three-wheeled electric cart careening through the tiny alleyways.
The message is clear - if you don't work here you're not really welcome.
Nor is Tsukiji any sort of architectural gem. Anyone expecting a Japanese version of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is going to be disappointed.
Tsukiji is a sprawling collection of corrugated iron sheds put up in the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake. It's old, rundown, dirty and overcrowded.
But you don't come here for architecture. You come for the fish and in this Tsukiji really is like nowhere else.
Every fish you've ever heard of is traded here, and many you haven't. There are giant spider crabs from Russia, scallops and sea urchin, squid and octopus, oysters and crayfish, salmon roe and sea cucumber.
But what Tsukiji is really famous for is tuna. More giant Pacific and Atlantic bluefin tuna are traded here than anywhere else in the world.
The action starts a little after 4am. In a long refrigerated hall, hundreds of shiny black and silver tuna are laid out in neat rows.
Some are 1.5m (5ft) long and weigh over 200kg (441lbs). Men in blue overalls and wellington boots are bending over, pulling open the gills and peering inside. These are the wholesalers who have licences to bid in the morning auctions.
At 5am the auction bells start ringing. The auctioneers step on to small wooden stools and the bidding begins.
The pace is frenetic. Six auctions are going at once. One auctioneer shouts, two others chant and the nearest sounds like he is singing.
There are maybe 1,000 tuna laid out here, but it's all over in a matter of minutes. The 200kg monsters are hauled away on handcarts by their new owners.
At his shop, deep in the bowels of the market, Toichiro Iida is waiting as one of the huge tuna is hauled in.
Now the real work begins.
First the fish is carefully washed and scrubbed. A muscular young man picks up a terrifying-looking knife called a 'Maguro-Bocho'.
The blade is 1.5m long and extremely sharp. Still, it takes all his strength and the help of a colleague to cut through the fish. After each cut, the meat is carefully wiped clean with a white cloth.
The final delicate jointing is done by Iida-san himself. His customers call in their orders - 2kg for this one, 5kg another. Some customers turn up to watch in person.
"Our customers trust me," Iida-san tells me.
"My eyes, my skill to find the fish which they like. If they come here I want to explain how it is, where it was caught, how it was caught, what it will taste like."
Carefully Iida-San takes another knife - this one the size of a samurai sword. In one smooth movement slices through the meat. Each joint is again carefully wiped with another fresh white cloth.
Finally the meat is gift-wrapped in dark green tissue paper, packed in ice, and dispatched to the customer. By lunchtime it will be served at the most expensive sushi restaurants in nearby Ginza.
Iida-san's family has been doing this for eight generations. In the 1850s, when the shoguns still ruled Japan, his forebears had a shop in the old fish market near Nihonbashi bridge.
That was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. In 1935, his grandfather moved to the new Tsukiji market.
Now they have been told to move again, across Tokyo Bay to an artificial island that used to be home to a chemical plant. The new market is beautiful, with vast white air-conditioned halls.
But no one is happy. For Iida-San, it's too far from his customers.
"I don't want to move. Ginza has 200 sushi shops. That culture was made by this place because we are close. It's only a 10-minute walk from there to this market," he says.
The new site is also contaminated. The old chemical plant seriously polluted ground water beneath the new market. It was supposed to have been cleaned up.
But Tokyo's recently elected governor, Yuriko Koike, ordered new tests. Those have found benzene levels 79 times higher than government safety limits.
"I find myself with a renewed sense of surprise at how things have turned out," the chairman of the Tsukiji Market Association, Hiroyasu Ito, told the Kyodo news agency.
That's a bit of Japanese understatement. The site of the new market was supposed to have been covered with a thick layer of clean soil before construction began. Now it turns out that was never done.
Some fish wholesalers say they suspect the old Tokyo administration may have altered data in the original ground water tests in order to get the market move approved.
For the traders, it means more waiting and more uncertainty.
On the day I visit Tsukiji, it's supposed to be the last New Year auction ever to be held here. There's always excitement for the first big auction of the year, mainly because of the antics of one man.
Kiyoshi Kimura is the president of Japan's most successful sushi chain. Each January the rotund figure of Mr Kimura can be seen pushing the bids to astonishing levels.
In 2013 he paid over $1.7m (£1.4m) for a single 222kg bluefin. This year the bidding is a little more modest. He manages to net a 212kg fish for just 74 million yen ($652,000, £538,000).
At that price Mr Kimura is making a massive loss on every piece of sushi from the fish. Of course, it's a publicity stunt. His astronomic bids gain him headlines across Japan and around the world.
For some watching from the sidelines, Mr Kimura's annual stunt is in poor taste.
The world's appetite for bluefin tuna is running far ahead of the fish's ability to reproduce. Latest estimates suggest that since the 1960s stocks of Atlantic bluefin have fallen by over 95%.
The Pacific bluefin was thought to be in better shape, but recent surveys suggest it too is in deep trouble.
Attempts have been made in the United Nations to impose a temporary ban on catching Atlantic bluefin to allow the stocks to recover. But Japan and its allies have blocked them.
Toichiro Iida has seen the effect.
"When I started working in this market every day at the auction we had maybe 5,000 frozen tuna and 2,000 to 2,500 fresh tuna.
But now we have 1,000 or less frozen tuna each day, and fresh tuna is 200 or 100 or less. We don't have enough fish to sell to our customers."
I ask him if he now fears for the future of his business.
"Yes," he says, nodding his head vigorously. "I think maybe it's going to be like what happened to the whale."
The global media giant reported profits of $1.6bn (£1.05bn) for the period between July and September compared with $1.5bn at the same time last year.
Television revenue has climbed, despite Americans dropping cable subscriptions in favour of on-demand providers such as Netflix.
Revenue for Disney's parks and resorts reached $4.4bn.
The company attributed the growth to increased visitor numbers at parks in the US and Disneyland Paris.
The company's television channels also saw a rise in revenue, which climbed 12%.
Investors had been concerned because audiences have been abandoning traditional television, but in the event profits from cable TV increased by $381m for the quarter to $1.7bn.
Analysts had been watching to see what Disney would say about the number of ESPN subscribers, which were down last quarter.
Disney said subscribers had increased in this quarter and attributed the growth to the new ESPN affiliate channel, SEC Network, which launched in August 2014.
The sports network makes up 40% of Disney's revenue.
Last month ESPN announced it was cutting 300 employees or 4% of its global workforce.
The film arm of Disney came in flat bringing in $1.8bn in revenue during the quarter.
The company is expecting a marked increase in this area next quarter when it releases the latest film in the Star Wars series.
"The next focus for investors is how much Star Wars is going to bring in," said Martin Pyykkonen senior research analyst at Rosenblatt Securities.
"There has been a lot of hype, pre-order ticket sales have been high and there will be a lot of merchandise that flows from that," he said.
From Wednesday, passengers on Easyjet flights from Turkey and Egypt to the UK must put large electronic devices, including e-readers, in the hold.
The airline said passengers would face extra security checks and advised them to arrive early at their airport.
The government is set to face an urgent question on the issue in the Commons.
The ban, announced by the UK government on Tuesday, applies to certain direct flights to the UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.
The ban applies to any device larger than 16cm long, 9.3cm wide or 1.5cm deep. It includes smart phones, but most fall inside these limits.
The government has not given a start-date for the ban, but says affected airlines are "in the process of implementing it".
Other UK carriers affected include British Airways, Jet2.com, Monarch, Thomas Cook and Thomson.
Overseas airlines affected are Turkish Airlines, Pegasus Airways, Atlas-Global Airlines, Middle East Airlines, EgyptAir, Royal Jordanian, Tunis Air and Saudia.
The ban follows a similar move in the US, where officials say bombs could be hidden in a series of devices.
Somalia has not had a functioning government for more than two decades. Since the collapse of the state in 1991, the country has become a haven for pirates and al-Qaeda affiliated militants, who have seized the attention of the world.
The Somali community in the UK as well as other Western countries has become linked to these scourges, so it comes as a breath of fresh air to have a Somali-born Brit bring such joy to many British households who might have previously had other opinions about Somali people.
I am particularly hopeful that the "Mo Farah effect" can bring Somalis and the different communities here in Britain closer together, to truly appreciate the human aspirations and commonalities we share as part of this melting pot known as Great Britain.
I was in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, for the past two weeks so I unfortunately missed the chance of catching any of the Games live, but I made sure I watched on every TV at my disposal and I wasn't the only one.
At every big screen one couldn't escape from the roaring crowd, all vying to see Mo in action.
People adore him in Mogadishu, and rightly so.
It is his birthplace and most of the local youngsters feel that sense of connection with him.
The 'Mobot': Your salute to Mo FarahNo way to describe gold - FarahSomalis' struggle in the UK
While mingling with local people, I noticed the amazing ability of one person to be able to transcend disparities and bring together people who had been separated and turned against each other by power, greed and clan animosity, despite being many miles away.
Mogadishu is a city divided by tumultuous conflict, with most people separated by their political or religious views, but for the brief moments that Mo was on TV, everyone came together, united as Somalis.
And the same was true of Somali-inhabited territories elsewhere in East Africa.
On my way to the UK, I had the chance to make a pit-stop in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, where I visited Eastleigh - a densely populated neighbourhood where nearly all residents are ethnic Somalis.
Here too, Mo Farah was a superhero. Young children were cheerfully shaping the "Mobot" - Mo's signature victory sign.
Similar celebrations were taking place online on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Somalis were overwhelmed with joy and Mo reciprocated their support by expressing his sense of appreciation for all Somalis, irrespective of where in Somalia they came from or which clan they belonged to.
This, I think, has further lifted the reverence the Somali people had for him.
He chose to appreciate the bigger picture in a deeply divided society and as a result has perhaps created a sense of unity that has long been missing in the Somali community.
Additionally, he has remained true to his religious beliefs, giving a Muslim prayer after each win and thanking Allah for his victory.
This will no doubt restore confidence in the Somali youth, who often grapple with finding a balance between their Western upbringing, Somali roots and Muslim faith.
I am optimistic that his win will shed light on a different kind of role model Somalis can look up to and aspire to emulate, and maybe we might be lucky enough to see more Somali-British youngsters competing in the next Olympics.
He is already an inspiration to Somali Olympians Zamzam Mohamed Farah and Mohamed Hassan Mohamed, who competed in the London Olympics representing Somalia.
They both cited Mo, saying they have tried to emulate him since they caught sight of him in the last Olympics in China.
Mo's display of his faith portrays to the rest of Britain that Somalis can remain true to their beliefs while fully integrating with the wider society, which will hopefully counter-balance the common association of Muslims with fundamentalism.
It is precisely for these reasons that I think Mo will remain dearly cherished by all Somalis both inside the country and in the diaspora and I hope his effect will stretch wide enough for all of them to unite once again.
It is understood that Barra McGrory QC will stay in office until the autumn.
He became the first Catholic to hold the post when he was appointed in November 2011.
In recent months he has been in the eye of a political storm for prosecuting former soldiers for killings during Northern Ireland's Troubles.
His appointment five-and-a-half years ago ruffled the feathers of some unionist politicians.
As one of Northern Ireland's best known criminal lawyers he had represented Sinn Féin's Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and other senior republicans.
Mr McGrory pointed out that he had also represented loyalist paramilitaries, unionist politicians and former police officers.
He has been strongly criticised by a number of Conservative Party MPs and the Democratic Unionist Party in recent months for decisions to prosecute former soldiers.
They claimed that cases involving soldiers were being unfairly prioritised.
There were even calls for him to be sacked.
Earlier this year, he told the BBC that those who accused him of treating former soldiers unfairly had insulted him and his office.
Mr McGrory said he was mystified by the claims that he did not act impartially when he brought charges against a small number of ex-soldiers.
His decision to leave the post is expected to be announced at a staff meeting on Wednesday morning.
It is understood he plans to return to his private legal practice.
Sources have said that his decision is not connected to the criticism he has faced in recent months.
The authors say that consumer demand in Europe and the US for beef, leather and timber is driving these losses.
The vast majority of this illegal deforestation for commercial agriculture took place in Brazil and Indonesia.
The authors say the practice is spreading rapidly in Asia and Africa.
The research has been carried out by Forest Trends, a US based, non-governmental organisation that includes environmentalists, industry and the financial sector.
Their report focuses on the question of illegality. While the cutting down of tropical forests has been an issue of global concern for several decades, knowing what's legal and illegal has been much more difficult to ascertain.
This new study argues that in the first 12 years of this century, 49% of tropical deforestation was due to illegal conversion for commercial agriculture.
The authors say consumer demand in the EU and elsewhere for agricultural commodities is the main driver for these clearances that have seen more than 200,000 sq km of forest laid bare.
The report values this trade in commodities including timber, leather, beef, soy and palm oil at $61bn a year.
"I think it will come as a shock to a lot of people, even to people who work on deforestation," lead author Sam Lawson told BBC News.
"People are often blind to the illegalities or don't see them for what they are in terms of the scale."
Much of these forest clearances are illegal, but governments don't have the capacity to enforce their own law. Licences and permits to cut the trees are often acquired through corruption.
This can have significant, sometimes deadly implications for the indigenous communities that live in these forests.
In recent days in Peru, four indigenous campaigners were murdered for their opposition to illegal land clearances.
In Brazil, where large amounts of this type of deforestation have taken place, the authorities are making strenuous efforts to tackle the problem.
One reason they have had success is they have started to hit the corporations involved, in their pockets - blocking access to credit for example, for companies involved in illegal clearing.
The authors believe that consumer countries like the European Union could be doing much more to tackle the problem.
"At the moment EU is giving large amounts of money to these tropical countries to reduce deforestation while at the same time it is shooting itself in the foot by importing all these dodgy products from illegal clearances," said Sam Lawson.
"It needs to close that vicious circle, it needs to stop importing these products as a first step."
The research team believe that the example of tropical timber could be a role model for tackling beef, leather and palm oil from illegal sources.
Back in the 1980s, there were attempts to ban these imports but these floundered. There were also certification schemes that met a similar fate.
Ultimately, according to the researchers, countries realised that the only thing that would work were strong regulations and not voluntary actions.
"In the EU we now have laws saying that companies have to do due diligence on their timber to make sure it was legally produced," said Sam Lawson.
"What is needed is equivalent legislation regarding these commodities including palm oil, soy and beef."
The biggest concern right now for campaigners is the spread of illegal deforestation to new countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
They point to Papua New Guinea where millions of hectares of forest have been licensed for deforestation in recent years. A parliamentary inquiry found that 90% of these licences were issued by corrupt or fraudulent means.
All these land clearances are making a significant contribution to global warming.
The report estimates that in the period 2000-2012, carbon dioxide equivalent to a quarter of the EU's annual total was emitted every year.
Developed countries have embarked on an ambitious programme to pay developing nations to stop cutting down the trees. But Sam Lawson thinks this is doomed to failure.
"It is pointless paying a government to change its policies when these governments are incapable of implementing and enforcing their policies in the first place."

Emmanuel-Thomas' free-kick six minutes from time eased the Gills away from the drop zone and into mid-table, where they are now above the Saddlers.
Gillingham went ahead in just the second minute, Cody McDonald looping home a close-range header after Walsall's defence made a mess of clearing Bradley Dack's low cross.
Walsall profited from similarly poor Gills defending to level on nine minutes, Jason McCarthy charging down Baily Cargill's clearance before sliding a cool finish between goalkeeper Stuart Nelson's legs.
Billy Knott whistled a 25-yarder just over on the half-hour for the Gills before Walsall came close to going ahead right on half-time but Franck Moussa's deflected shot was cleared off the line by Cargill.
Walsall pushed Gillingham back for most of the second half but did not really work Nelson, with their best effort, an Erhun Oztumer sighter, whistling a couple of feet wide.
And Gillingham snatched the points on 84 minutes as Emmanuel-Thomas drilled in a low 20-yard free-kick that took a nick off unwitting centre-half Max Ehmer.
Report supplied by Press Association.
The two male and one female calves are under observation, officials said.
During floods, hundreds of animals in the park move to the adjacent hills of Karbi Anglong for safety.
Kaziranga is one of the world's most important wildlife parks and is home to the highly endangered one-horned rhino, elephants, swamp deer and tigers.
Earlier a herd of elephants was photographed swimming through the flooded park and crossing a national highway for drier higher ground.
Officials had also rescued seven hog deer from the floods, they said.
"There's only love for it. From the moment it was in our drive, the postman, delivery men, everyone was commenting on it," says Steve, 51, who lives in Worcester and works for a fire alarm company.
"The neighbours love it - at least they tell me they do."
After 10 years of wanting one of the iconic red kiosks, he managed to secure it for £1,500 in September.
It was something of a bargain. The oldest red phone boxes can sell for upwards of £15,000 when fully restored.
From Germany to Japan, collectors buy the disused phone booths and either restore them or create new uses, from cocktail cabinets to secret entrances to a child's playroom.
Premier League footballers and rock musicians are also among the buyers. Sharon Osbourne even bought a black phone box that once stood near the Tower of London for husband Ozzy.
On the streets, the spread of mobile phones has left phone boxes in terminal decline. BT is consulting on plans to decommission another 14,000, although most of them will be the more modern stainless steel boxes because many red booths are protected.
With thousands listed as architecturally significant structures, sellers say that demand still outstrips supply.
The most common type of red kiosk - designed by Battersea Power Station architect, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and known by aficionados as the K6 - turned 80 in October.
"There are certain objects that people see as quintessentially British. The red phone box is certainly one of them," says Hamish Wood, who works at the National Telephone Kiosk Collection at Avoncroft Museum.
They were ubiquitous for decades, and for many people are as recognisable as London's Tower Bridge, he says.
Steve agrees they're a valuable item. "The K6 was only ever built to last 50 years," he says. "I started thinking they're becoming more and more of a collector's item and prices are being driven up."
Yet when it arrived, there was a problem. The phone box, which weighs 750kg - almost twice as heavy as an Aga cooker - had to be lifted over the house into the garden.
The kiosk itself was £850 because of its dilapidated condition, but hiring the crane operator cost £650. "It's the quickest £650 I've ever spent."
It was worth it, he says. Visitors are so keen to see it that they don't take their jackets off, they go straight to the garden.
Most of the second-hand phone boxes are now used as garden features, according to Richard Parker, managing director of X2Connect, which works with BT to refurbish and sell discontinued phone boxes.
Among some of the wackier reports are of a box being re-purposed as a poolside shower in Sydney or as a lift down to someone's wine cellar.
"A Swedish company purchased two of them for staff to use for private mobile calls. It was going back to the old use," Mr Parker says.
The exact number of second-hand K6s in circulation is uncertain, but sellers say it's only a small percentage of the 60,000 on the streets at their peak.
People buy them for their appeal as a "design icon", but also for the nostalgia, says Christian Lewis, restorations manager at Unicorn Restorations, a major seller of the boxes.
"We have had customers purchase telephone boxes or particular types of payphones as they reminded them of making calls to their girlfriend, who is now their wife," he says.
Some older customers hear the "ticking" sound of the old coin box and are taken back to their childhood, he adds.
They were "landmarks", agrees Steve, who grew up in Birmingham. "You would meet your friends there, or shelter from the rain in one of them. When I was a teenager, that was our mobile phone."
But it's unlikely the thousands of steel and glass boxes left increasingly obsolete by mobiles will capture the imagination of collectors in the same way.
"I doubt people will get so sentimental over a modern payphone," Mr Lewis says.
His Nissan Micra left the A89 at the Dechmont roundabout in Livingston at 13:55 on Sunday 22 January.
The 87-year-old driver was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with serious injuries but Police Scotland said he later died.
Officers are investigating the crash and wish to speak to anyone with information.
Con Martin Smith, of Police Scotland, said: "Sadly this collision resulted in the death of the elderly male driver and our investigation has been ongoing since 22 January to determine exactly what happened.
"We would ask that any other motorists or members of the public who can assist with our inquiries contact police immediately."
The proposal requires the government to receive a court order to access telecom companies' records.
The NSA is understood to collect daily call records from specific telecom firms and to keep them for five years.
The plan follows widespread anger after leaks revealed the full extent of US surveillance operations.
"I believe this approach will best ensure that we have the information we need to meet our intelligence needs while enhancing public confidence in the manner in which the information is collected and held," Mr Obama said in a statement on Thursday.
Under the new proposal, the government will reportedly only seek specific records that telecom companies possess.
How the US spy scandal unravelled
Profile: Edward Snowden
UK 'complacent' over spying leaks
The government must gain approval from a secret surveillance court - proving there is a reasonable suspicion that a phone number is connected to a terrorist - in order to access the record.
An agency may conduct a search without prior approval in cases of emergency, though it remains unclear what constitutes an emergency under the proposal.
The telecom companies will be required to search for specific numbers of a limited time period.
The government previously had the ability to search for numbers only distantly linked to a suspicious number, but would now be limited to accessing only a specific number and direct contacts.
Documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden have revealed the US collects massive amounts of electronic data from communications of private individuals around the world, and has snooped on foreign leaders.
In a speech in January, President Obama said it was necessary for the US to continue collecting large amounts of data, but that civil liberties must be respected.
The Obama administration has said it plans to renew the current NSA programme for at least another 90 days until Congress passes the new bill.
New legislation has also been developed separately by leaders of the House intelligence committee that would allow the NSA to issue subpoenas for specific phone records without prior judicial approval, the New York Times reports.
Human resources manager Xavier Broseta and senior official Pierre Plissonnier had to clamber over a fence, while several others were injured.
The men were taking part in talks about plans for 2,900 job losses when hundreds of workers stormed into Air France headquarters at Roissy.
Pilots had earlier rejected an offer to work longer hours.
Parent firm Air France-KLM said it would take legal action over the protesters' "aggregated violence".
The airline later confirmed the job losses as part of a big restructuring plan dubbed "Perform 2020" that also involved several routes to India and south-east Asia being cut in 2017.
The measures include cutting 1,700 ground staff, 900 cabin crew, and 300 pilots, as well as a 10% reduction in its long-haul business, a reduction in the size of the aircraft fleet and an increase in pilots' working hours.
Air France said the restructuring would see the airline's costs reduced by €1.8bn (£1.3bn) over two years.
Chief Executive Frederic Gagey had already left the works council meeting when the room near Charles de Gaulle airport, north of Paris, was interrupted less than an hour after it had begun.
Several hundred demonstrators were reported to have entered the building shortly after four unions announced they were going on strike.
The company said it would aim for "voluntary departures" but said compulsory redundancies could not be ruled out.
One union official said Mr Broseta had "narrowly escaped being lynched". Security guards helped him flee the protesters by climbing over a fence, but not before his jacket and shirt were ripped from his back.
The airline's human resources manager later told a news conference that "what we saw this morning is not the image of the company's employees".
Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he was outraged by the violence and, along with Economics Minister Emmanuel Macron, added his support to the Air France management. The French government owns a 17.6% stake in the company.
Profits at the airline have been hit in part by strikes by pilots, who have been protesting over the expansion of its budget subsidiary, Transavia.
Air France cut 5,500 jobs between 2012 and 2014 in response to stiff competition from low-cost competition in Europe.
The company, which employs 52,000 staff, has said that it faced "the impossibility of reaching an agreement to implement the productivity measures to restore long-term profitability".
The company added that it "considered it essential to introduce an alternative plan" and had unanimously agreed to mandate Air France KLM and Air France Management to carry this out.
The 22-year-old was found near to the Old Horns pub on Queslett Road in Great Barr, West Midlands, in the early hours of Christmas Day.
He was taken to hospital along with a 20-year-old man. They were both in a stable condition, police said.
Det Con Rich Stanley said two families had their Christmas Day "ruined" by the attack.
Both men are believed to live locally.
The area was cordoned off for forensic examination and CCTV from the area is being reviewed, the spokesman said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
John Goldup, the former deputy chief inspector and national director of social care, apologised for the organisation's failure.
He said: "We did not get it right on child sexual exploitation in Rotherham... and I apologise for that."
About 1,400 children were abused in the town from 1997 to 2013 a report found.
Appearing before the Communities and Local Government Committee, Mr Goldup said: "Inspection up to the latter part of 2012 did not have the focus on child sexual exploitation that it would have and should have had if we had known and understood then what we understand now.
"What Ofsted would and should have focussed on is, giving that it [sexual exploitation] is happening, how effectively is the local authority working to try and disrupt and interrupt it to protect the children that were being raped and abused."
He said it was not until events in late 2012, including the publication of a report in the Times newspaper highlighting the issue in Rotherham, that Ofsted fully understood the problem.
He said: "Our understanding of child sexual exploitation was limited. We knew it happened, we knew it was wicked and hugely damaging to children but it was widely perceived as a localised issue."
However, he said that it was when Ofsted first directly went in to do a social care inspection in Rotherham in 2009 that the authority was exposed as a failing authority.
"I think that does also say something about the strength and the robustness of Ofsted inspection then and subsequently, but I absolutely accept that we didn't have the focus on child sexual exploitation that we certainly would and should have now."
Mr Goldup told the committee that, until 2012, Ofsted operated under a framework which focused on the danger of child abuse within homes, rather than exploitation by adults outside the care setting.
Committee member Simon Danczuk, Labour MP for Rochdale, said Ofsted inspectors should have been aware of previous child exploitation scandals in places like Derby, where nine men were convicted of systematically grooming and sexually abusing teenage girls.
"You guys are paid to be on top of this subject," Mr Danczuk said.
"It's your profession to know that this type of abuse goes on, to think 'It's happened in Derby, it could happen in other parts of the country, perhaps we should design a framework that tries to get to the detail of this'.
"But you took to 2012 to accept that the rape of children might be occurring outside the home. I don't get it."
He went on to claim that inspectors failed to react to social workers dismissing exploitation as a "lifestyle choice" of the teenage girls and boys in their care.
However, Mr Goldup said: "If they had encountered that attitude from a single social worker, they would have followed that up like a pitbull in the inspection."
In November, the Communities and Local Government Committee criticised Ofsted for "failing to protect children in Rotherham" and announced plans to call the watchdog in to face questions.
Last month Debbie Jones, Ofsted's director of social care, appeared before the committee and admitted that its inspections of children's services in Rotherham was "not good enough".
Ms Jones said: "We at Ofsted feel that what we have done is not good enough. Of course we're sorry - we're sorry along with, I'm sure, everybody else who has been in front of this committee."
She also acknowledged that past inspection frameworks had lacked focus.
The Brimmon Oak in Newtown - around which a new bypass will be built after a petition attracted 5,000 signatures - finished runner up to an even older oak from Poland.
It was named the UK's Tree of the Year in December.
Ancient tree campaigner Rob McBride, who attended the award ceremony in Brussels, said it was "amazing news".
The Brimmon Oak received about 16,200 votes, some 1,400 fewer than Poland's Josef Oak, in the results announced on Tuesday. The Lime Tree at Lipka, Czech Republic, came third with about 14,800 votes.
The plan for six wind turbines at Cam Burn, near Coleraine, was voted down at a council meeting in September.
But now Mark H Durkan has told the council he has decided to approve it.
And the timing means it got planning permission just before an important deadline that affects such developments.
It had to have approval by 30 October 2015 to qualify for subsidies before Northern Ireland's renewable scheme was closed to on-shore wind.
Those opposed to the proposal had raised concerns about its visual impact on the landscape, proximity to homes and potential environmental implications.
There had been 524 letters of objection.
Supporters had pointed to the construction benefits, that it would reduce carbon emissions by more than 320,000 tonnes over 25 years, and generate power for 6,482 homes.
There had been 896 letters of support.
Mr Durkan told the assembly he had called in the decision "due to the particular difficulties" arising from the closure of the on-shore wind farm scheme.
In an answer to a written assembly question by TUV leader Jim Alister, he said he had "also noted the potential economic and environmental contribution from this project".
The current minimum target is for Northern Ireland to generate 40% of its energy from renewables by 2020.
Northern Ireland currently produces 19.76% of its energy requirements from renewable sources, mostly on-shore wind.
Cam Burn wind farm is being built by Oxford-based TCI Renewables, which develops projects across the UK and North America.
It has around 20 in Northern Ireland, some of which are at the planning stage. Existing schemes include single turbines and wind farms.
Network Rail, which manages Britain's track system, said the longer evenings and extended school holidays "spell danger" for young people.
Over the past 10 years almost 170 young people have been killed after trespassing on the railway.
Figures show there were almost 600 incidents of under-25s trespassing in August 2015; twice as many as December.
Some 72% of all trespassers killed over the past 10 years were hit by a train.
A further 17% were electrocuted, while others fell from structures or trains.
'The electric shock that transformed my life'
Taking a short cut was the motivation for 42% of trespass incidents, with 19% due to thrill-seeking.
Graham Hopkins, of Network Rail, urged parents to warn children against taking a short cut over rail lines or playing on the tracks, saying it was "not only illegal. It is also dangerous."
British Transport Police said its officers patrolled areas of track prone to trespassers and put up safety posters.
But it warned that its staff had to cover 10,000 miles of track country-wide and "cannot tackle this issue alone".
Network Rail has also contacted Nintendo and app developers over "safety concerns" regarding Pokemon Go being playable close to live train tracks.
The BBC understands gamers have been walking onto the tracks at Birmingham New Street station.
Katie Francis, 12, of Oklahoma City, said the secret of her success is asking everyone she meets to buy a box.
Not one to rest on her laurels, Katie has now set a new target of 20,000 boxes by 30 March - the seven-week cookie season has been extended by a week because of recent wintry weather.
The previous record was about 18,000 boxes, set in the 1980s.
Katie, who has been invited on to network television shows to discuss her feat, was also the Girl Scouts' top seller last year when she shifted 12,428 boxes of cookies.
The sixth-grader told local TV station KOCO: "There are three ingredients to the cookie sale. It takes lots of time, commitment and asking everybody I see."
Her troop receives a share of the proceeds from the fundraiser and said it intended to donate to breast cancer research.
It is not the first time a business-savvy Girl Scout has made headlines recently.
Last month, a 13-year-old in San Francisco made the shrewd decision to set up her cookie stall outside a medical marijuana dispensary.
Supervised by her mother, she sold 117 boxes in just two hours.

Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin says rising costs and missed targets make the £38.5bn plan untenable.
He blamed Network Rail, saying it should have foreseen the improvements would cost more and take longer.
Labour said it had warned the government needed to change how the railways were run but had "dithered" over taking action.
Network Rail said the plan, which was launched last year as the "largest modernisation of the railways since Victorian times", was too ambitious.
Network Rail controls 2,500 stations as well as tracks, tunnels and level crossings.
The key routes affected are:
Mr McLoughlin said electrification work would be "paused" on the Midland main line and on the Trans-Pennine route between Leeds and Manchester.
But he said that "electrification of the Great Western line is a top priority and I want Network Rail to concentrate its efforts on getting that right".
He also announced Network Rail's chairman, Richard Parry-Jones, would leave the group after his three-year term and told MPs none of the executive directors would get a bonus for the past year.
Mr Parry-Jones will be replaced by Sir Peter Hendy, the current commissioner of Transport for London.
The announcement comes as the latest rail passenger satisfaction survey is released.
Travellers in London and south-east England are the least happy with their service, according to Transport Focus (formerly Passenger Focus).
The proportion of passengers satisfied has fallen from 82% last year to 80% this year.
Satisfaction on First Hull Trains was highest at 96%, while Southern was the lowest at 72%.
Michael Roberts, director general of the Rail Delivery Group which represents train operators and Network Rail, said: "Too often many passengers are not getting the service they deserve, and for this we are sorry.
"The survey reflects the challenges we face to run trains punctually on an increasingly busy network."
The shadow transport secretary, Michael Dugher, said the government had known the upgrade could not go ahead as scheduled: "We have been warning time and time again there needs to be fundamental changes in how our railways are run. You spent the election campaign repeating promises you knew you would break after the election.
"Ministers may try to shift all the blame to Network Rail, but this happened on the government's watch and the responsibility for this mess lies squarely with the government."
Anthony Smith, chief executive of the independent watchdog Transport Focus, said: "This... follows years of above-inflation fares increases, crowded carriages and engineering works. Passengers have put up with much inconvenience in the expectation of a better, more reliable, and more comfortable rail service.
"What passengers will want now is a clear plan of action, setting out exactly when Network Rail will start to deliver some of the promised improvements."
The chief executive of Network Rail, Mark Carne, told the BBC the challenges of delivering myriad improvement projects while still running a railway seven days a week were simply overwhelming.
"Over the last year, it has become obvious that the challenges of operating, maintaining and enhancing the railway are significant," he said.
"I think it's time to level with the public and say that some of these extraordinary projects that we absolutely need are going to take longer and are going to cost more than we originally thought.
"We are going to take the summer to re-evaluate the extension of the programme - we need to do that properly with the Department for Transport and, of course, looking at the impact on trains as well."
He said it would not be possible to estimate the impact of the delays on the final cost.
Analysis: Kamal Ahmed, business editor
To be clear, much of the investment will still happen. It will just be slower and more expensive.
And significant Whitehall sources have also told me that spending £38bn over five years is still the plan.
Which means that, according to those officials, the Conservative Party is not about to break its manifesto pledge to spend that amount.
What does appear to be the case - according to senior people in the rail industry - is that the Department for Transport was warned last spring that the five-year plan was at risk.
But the government has waited until after the election before announcing the change.
All bets off for £38.5bn rail plan
Mr Carne said it was important to be honest with the travelling public: "Rather than beating ourselves up over some rather arbitrary target, I think we should level with people and reset expectations around what we can deliver.
"Our railway is a great success story, passenger numbers have doubled in the last 20 years - but it's a huge challenge to transform the performance of our railway while still providing a great service to the four-and-a-half million people that use our railway every day."
Sarll, 34, replaced Teddy Sheringham at Boro, and the club are now seven points off the League Two play-off places.
"Experienced managers say to you try to switch off and have your family life," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"I don't know if it's my first year and I'm young, but for me that's impossible. It's very lonely, especially in defeat."
He continued: "I just want to hide away and get my head around what is next. I don't want to hide away and sulk or melt in the corner, but I want to refocus.
"But that means isolating your family and pushing them to one side in the times when you should be really with them."
Sarll also admitted to sleepless nights since he stepped up from Boro first-team coach to replace former England striker Sheringham in February last year.
His own playing career was spent mostly in the non-leagues of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, before he moved into youth coaching roles at Stevenage and Brentford.
"For me, being different to other managers as I never played professionally and had other jobs that our supporters work in, to relate what you do nine to five Monday to Friday, or whatever your shift work is, to a managerial position is impossible," he said.
"I get why we're harshly criticised when things aren't going well. There's only 92 managers and my thought is there's always someone wanting to do it for five minutes longer for a fiver cheaper. There's always someone out there ready to take your job.
"You have to always be on your guard and never rest. It's tough, the loneliness is tough. But I quite like a fight and challenges, so I quite enjoy that bit of it."
The West Mercia and Warwickshire forces handed over all weapons seized over the last two years.
They will be used to build a sculpture of an angel, with each knife forming a feather in its wings.
The British Ironworks Centre plans to find 100,000 knives to complete the statue, expected to stand 20ft high.
Sculptor Alfie Bradley said he hoped it would be completed by the autumn.
In all, some 10,000 weapons have been donated so far.
"There's no uniformity, so it's going to be a complete collage of knives," Clive Knowles, managing director of the British Ironworks Centre, said.
"There are a lot of what were clearly originally kitchen knives, but there have also been flick knives, razor-type knives, garrotting wires, homemade knives and ones made in prison from door bolts.
"One flick knife was disguised as a lighter and another two were designed to fit inside a fake mobile phone.
"I think you're going to look at the sculpture and realise how many knives there are on the streets of the UK. That's going to be the really shocking thing."
Mr Knowles said the Save A Life, Surrender Your Knife campaign was receiving regular deliveries from the Metropolitan Police, while knives were also being donated by the Lancashire and West Yorkshire forces later this month.
He said the sculpture would be the only national memorial of its kind and councils in Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham had already offered to provide a permanent home for it.
Australia's Federal Court ruled last year that products marketed as targeting specific pains, such as migraine, were actually identical.
In a statement to the BBC, the UK-based company said it "did not intend to mislead consumers".
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission had asked for a A$6m fine.
How to pick the best painkiller
The (ACCC) watchdog brought the matter to court last year.
The court ruled that the company had contravened Australian consumer law by saying its Nurofen Specific Pain products were each formulated to treat a specific type of pain.
Each product contained the same active ingredient, ibuprofen lysine 342mg.
The products affected included Nurofen Back Pain, Nurofen Period Pain, Nurofen Migraine Pain and Nurofen Tension Headache.
Nurofen said it recognised "that we could have done more to assist our consumers in navigating the Nurofen Specific Pain Range".
Earlier this year, Reckitt Benckiser removed a TV advert for one of its products - Nurofen Express. The advert had implied that the capsules directly targeted muscles in the head.
The company has said it will not re-broadcast it, following complaints that the ad was misleading.
Alistair Forbes was driving a Stagecoach bus in Broughty Ferry on 6 April last year at the time of the incident.
His vehicle hit pedestrian Keira Duff moments after she stepped off the kerb.
Forbes, who is no longer employed by the company, was also banned from driving for three months.
Dundee Sheriff Court was told that Ms Duff, 20, was injured in the crash but had made a full recovery.
Forbes, 58, of Dundee, was originally charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury.
His guilty plea to a lesser charge of careless driving was accepted by prosecutors.
Solicitor advocate Jim Laverty, defending, said: "He hasn't used a driving licence in a professional capacity since the incident.
"He is in the job market now and having his licence would be an advantage.
"He will not be applying for a driving job, however."
Sheriff Alastair Carmichael told Forbes: "You were driving a double-decker, a big, heavy vehicle, that needs to be driven with care.
"The careless element here is that you knowingly drove through a red light at a pedestrian crossing.
"The consequence was that a member of the public was injured, but thankfully has made a recovery."
Children were asked to think of ideas for a connected home bedroom product.
EDF said that while its Pretty Curious programme is still aimed at girls, the UK competition was later opened up to all 11 to 16-year-olds.
It continues to share the same website and branding as the girls' scheme.
The BBC understands that the decision had been made to open the competition up to both genders in the interests of fairness, and that the contest attracted "a couple of hundred" entries.
Following three events held in the UK for girls last year, the contest was extended online and made available to boys as well.
The winner's idea was for a games controller which harnesses kinetic energy from thumb action using wind-up triggers.
Three of the four runners-up, whose ideas included smart curtains, a smart fridge and a sleep monitor, were submitted by girls.
"We were really impressed with the ideas which were submitted. It's exciting to see so many young people getting involved in this type of initiative and engaging with Stem (science, technology, engineering and maths). We hope more young people will be inspired to pursue Stem subjects at school and consider Stem careers in future," said Amy Edmundson, an electrical maintenance technician at EDF.
"Congratulations to the winner - but I'd love to hear from EDF how the winning solution meets their stated aim for the competition," said computer scientist Dr Sue Black OBE.
"It is taking me a bit of time to work out how this result will change girls' perceptions of Stem."
In a tweet, EDF said that while "the aim of #PrettyCurious was to encourage girls into #STEM, the #PrettyCuriousChallenge was a gender-neutral competition".
It added: "The winner was shortlisted by a panel of judges including the all-female winning team from our #PrettyCurious Glasgow workshop."
Suw Charman-Anderson, who founded the annual celebration of women in Stem, Ada Lovelace Day, told the BBC she had had reservations about the Pretty Curious campaign from the beginning.
"EDF Energy chose to link appearance and interest in Stem through the title of their campaign, despite many people pointing out that it was demeaning to girls," she said.
"Rather than challenging stereotypes, the focus on girls' looks rather than their intelligence reinforces them.
"EDF Energy have failed to understand both the nature of the problem [of women in Stem] and the negative impacts that their publicity stunt may well have on girls who took part with genuine enthusiasm and excitement."
The mother and two children have been spotted in front gardens since they escaped from a farm in Oxfordshire on Sunday.
Owner Steve Castle said Patches, Star and Tri are not aggressive, but is concerned for their welfare.
The animals made their bid for freedom from Home Farm in Long Wittenham.
Residents have since reported llamas peeking into their homes but Mr Castle said the curious creatures have a habit of using windows as makeshift mirrors.
"If they get bored they just go for a wander. And they like looking at themselves so people with big windows might see them looking at their reflections.
"People think they're dreaming when they see them."
The llama family has been clocked in residential areas of Saxons Heath and on the main road from Didcot to Clifton Hampden.
They were also discovered in a field at the nearby Earth Trust, but jumped over a fence before they could be returned home.
Mr Castle said they were particularly jumpy as they were previously owned by travellers who used them to train lurchers to hunt deer.
He added: "If a dog chases them obviously they run. That's how all this started, they ran away from a dog walker after they escaped.
"But they're not dangerous, they are very fond of people."
Wood Treatment Limited announced 20 redundancies in a letter to staff on Friday.
The blast at the Cheshire mill caused a four-storey building collapse on 17 July.
A council leader said he was "appalled" at the treatment of staff by the mill owners.
In a statement, the company said: "Following the fire at our site in Bosley, we have had to take the difficult decision to consult our staff on redundancy.
"Unfortunately, the devastation at the factory and the ongoing joint police and HSE investigation into the cause of the fire mean that we cannot predict when the factory will be operational again."
The firm said it would support employees "as best we can".
The GMB union has called a meeting on Monday afternoon in Bosley to discuss the plans.
Temperatures reached 1,000C in the blast and it was described by rescuers as the "worst incident of its kind" in a decade.
Four people unaccounted for after the blast were Derek Moore, 62, from Stoke-on-Trent, William Barks, 51, from Leek, Jason Shingler, 38, from North Rode, and Dorothy Bailey, 62.
Will Barks, Derek Moore and Dorothy Bailey have been identified as victims. Other remains have been found. Jason Shingler, 38, is still missing.
Michael Jones, leader of Cheshire East Council, said: "I'm appalled at the treatment of these people by the mill owners. Whatever business is done by them from the site should deliver local benefit."
The council has established a drop-in centre in the village providing advice about employment and benefits.
An investigation is under way into the cause of the explosion.
Liverpool's Ward, 23, won his third cap after Wayne Hennessy's late withdrawal before the Euro 2016 win over Slovakia.
He made his debut as a substitute in the friendly draw against Northern Ireland in March.
A product of Wrexham's academy, Ward was signed by Liverpool in January 2012.
The National League side also received £100,000 when Ward made his Liverpool debut against Bournemouth in April.
Fellow Welsh club Newport County will also benefit financially after former striker Conor Washington made his competitive debut for Northern Ireland.
Washington, now at Queens Park Rangers, came on as a substitute against Poland in Euro 2016.
A number of schools in those areas are closed or partially closed to pupils on Tuesday.
The outgoing Education Minister Peter Weir had previously called the strike "futile".
The NASUWT union said it had been "forced" into the action.
Meanwhile, the union representing many school principals said that industrial action was having a "profound impact" on school inspections.
In October, all five main 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.
Members of the NASUWT in Belfast and Newtownabbey subsequently held a one-day walkout on 30 November 2016.
Teachers belonging to the INTO union also staged a half-day strike on 18 January.
Schools had already informed pupils and parents about Tuesday's planned closures.
Members of the other classroom teaching unions - the Ulster Teachers' Union (UTU) and Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) - voted against strike action.
However, all of the classroom teaching unions are also taking action short of a strike.
This includes complete non co-operation with school inspections carried out by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI).
Teachers are refusing to provide information to inspectors or allow them to observe their classroom teaching.
That has led to the union which represents most principals and vice-principals - the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) - to express concerns over "the integrity of the inspection process".
In written advice issued to their members, the NAHT said: "Incomplete inspections do not lead to accurate evaluations.
"Such inaccuracies ultimately serve to devalue the safety of children."
The NAHT is recommending that schools about to be inspected write to the ETI asking them "to defer the inspection until the industrial action has ceased".
"It will quite clearly be impossible for you to carry out an effective inspection at this time," the NAHT has advised the ETI.
The NAHT has written to the ETI chief inspector Noelle Buick to express their concern that inspections will be "based on incomplete evidence".
However, the ETI said that "inspections should go ahead in the best interests of the children and young people".
Jones-Bishop, 27, joined Wildcats from Salford in November and has scored 11 tries in 20 appearances in all competitions this term.
Wakefield are sixth in Super League and travel to Wigan in their first game of the Super 8s on 5 August.
"I am looking forward to being part of the club's progression next season," Jones-Bishop said.
Ryder, 32, has a calf injury and leaves with three County Championship matches remaining after the current round.
The former New Zealand Test all-rounder has played for Essex for the past three seasons, making 98 appearances across all formats.
His best season came last campaign, when he scored 1,359 runs and took 48 wickets in all competitions.
A criminal, desperate to make a quick buck, decides to bomb a bus filled with top-flight football players on their way to one of the club's most important games of the year.
In the resulting chaos, shares in the club plummet, and the wrong-doer makes his money and escapes into the night - albeit, potentially chased by 007.
But while it may sound like a tale dreamed up by Hollywood scriptwriters, this is actually what police believe happened on 11 April, when the Borussia Dortmund football team were on their way to a Champions League game.
Police initially believed the bombing - which left Spanish footballer Marc Bartra needing surgery - was the work of terrorists, helped to that conclusion by a number of letters purportedly written by Islamic extremists left near the site.
But they soon concluded something was amiss, and turned their attentions to a 28-year-old investor named only as Sergej W, whom they have now charged with attempted murder.
It is surely one of the more bizarre accusations of recent times, and raises a number of questions - not least...
Yes, in Casino Royale, Bond's nemesis Le Chiffre decided to short sell shares from an aircraft manufacturer in order to fund a terrorist organisation.
His plan was to push down the value of the shares by blowing up the company's recently unveiled plane, the largest in the world.
In this case, however, the plot failed when Bond foiled it.
There are several ways a trader could have made money in this instance.
The process used in Casino Royale is known as "short selling", and is basically when traders bet on a share price falling to make a quick profit.
It involves someone borrowing a long-term investor's shares for a fee, and selling them on to a third party. When the shares fall, the trader quickly buys them back for less money.
The stocks are then returned to the long-term investor, who is not worried by the decline because they weren't planning on selling yet anyway.
This was also the method used by speculators portrayed in the 2012 film, The Big Short.
Here's another explanation - this time with apples - from the BBC's Aaron Heslehurst:
A second way is by buying "put options".
A put option on a share or some other asset is a contract which allows an investor to sell the asset at an agreed price. If the market price falls, they can then buy the asset more cheaply and sell it - or exercise the option - at the higher price to whoever sold the option, and pocket the price difference.
If the police are proved right, the trader in this case was backing up his bet by ensuring the shares definitely did take the hit, by blowing up a bus.
This is almost certainly the first time someone has tried to blow up a football team in order to make money.
More usually on the less ethical end of the market, the stock might be pushed over the edge by a few well-placed rumours.
It doesn't take much.
Indeed, back in 2012, all it took was a tweet to send share prices plummeting. A hacker broke into the Associated Press Twitter account and claimed then-President Barack Obama had been injured in an attack on the White House.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 150 points as more than 4,000 people retweeted it.
Matthew Baker, 31, is alleged to have escaped from Pentonville Prison with James Whitlock, 31, on 7 November.
Mr Baker is due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on 12 December. Mr Whitlock will appear at Blackfriars Crown Court on 13 December.
Kelly Baker, 21 of Friars Close, Ilford, has previously been charged with assisting an offender.
Four other people who were arrested for assisting an offender have been bailed until December.
However, in Eastern Europe there is a sense of optimism, tempered by the feeling that Nato could do more, following the announcement that the UK has announced that it will deploy troops to Poland and Estonia.
Elsewhere in Europe, commentators speculate on the impact that Brexit may have on the Nato alliance.
Nato officials have been "preparing in a way they haven't done since the end of the Cold War", says Russia's Rossiyskaya Gazeta, while Trud daily declares that the summit is "the first in many years to have such an openly anti-Russian agenda".
Nezavisimaya Gazeta warns that Nato's moves "reflect its plans for further confrontation with Russia and eastward expansion", and threatens that any deployment of troops into Russian territory would not go unanswered. "Russia is working through scenarios where it will have to respond to such events with nuclear strikes on state and military administration centres of all Nato member states," it says.
But Moskovsky Komsomolets urges against confrontation, saying: "The best way to respond is not to be baited. A growth in geopolitical tension in Europe is not in Russia's interests."
In contrast to other newspapers, Novaya Gazeta sees little consequence in the summit or its outcomes. "They'll come together for a chat and go their separate ways," it says in an article entitled "Push the button! - Sorry there isn't one".
Polish media are generally upbeat on the prospects of the summit but with a sense that its expectations will not be met.
Polish daily Rzeczpospolita says the summit offers "a little less than we dreamt of", referring to Polish hopes of an agreement to establish permanent Nato bases in the country rather than a process of rotational deployment of troops.
"Why can't Nato protect us?" echoes Romania's Digi 24, which predicts that "Russians will become more and more active in the power games in Romania".
In the Czech Republic there is a sense of unease about what is perceived as Russia's threat."Nato talks first and then waits to see what Moscow will do. Yet the Russians would overrun the Baltic countries in a few hours," says Czech daily Hospodarske noviny.
Another Czech daily, Lidove noviny, echoes this sentiment: "Concrete steps by Nato members lag behind the security situation. The Warsaw summit must affirm that all members are aware of the threat from the east and south, and are willing to do something about it."
Latvian daily Dienasays says the summit should not be viewed as a "miracle solution" to security issues in Eastern Europe. "We should not become hysterical if the USA does not fulfil all our desires in Eastern Europe, however substantiated they may be," it says.
But Polish broadsheet Gazeta Wyborcza is more optimistic, devoting a number of articles to perceived threats from Russia - and Nato measures to tackle them. The paper carries a quote from Defence Secretary Antoni Macierewicz saying: "After many decades, Poland can feel safe at last."
In Germany's Zeit Online, German MP Gernot Erler urges his government to take the lead in defusing tensions with Moscow.
"Russia and the West are in a dangerous process of re-evaluation. It is therefore imperative that Germany seeks further dialogue with Putin," he says.
French papers remain pre-occupied with the UK's vote to leave the EU. Under the headline "Nato after Brexit", Ouest-France says "[Prime Minister David] Cameron will of course seek to reassure his allies in Warsaw on the UK's Atlanticist faith. But leaving the EU blurs the message. It weakens the sense of unity that Europe needs to face multifaceted threats to its democracies."
Les Echos also describes the UK as "the indispensable ally" but fears that "the effects of Brexit" could have side effects for the Alliance.

Vienna has changed the signal images at 120 pedestrian crossings - also showing heterosexual couples - in preparation for the Eurovision Song Contest.
Officials said the signals were a sign of Vienna's open-mindedness.
Toni Mahdalik of the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria called the initiative gender politics "gone mad".
He said the money would have been better spent on reducing poverty and improving unemployment figures.
It is hoped the signals, which show couples holding hands and with love hearts above them instead of a gender-neutral figure, will also improve safety.
The unusual symbols are attracting the attention of drivers and pedestrians, a spokeswoman for Vienna's city lighting department said.
Many of the millions who watch Eurovision include a huge gay fan base and last year's winner, bearded transvestite Conchita Wurst, became a global gay icon with the song Rise like a Phoenix.
About 40 countries are taking part in the 2015 Eurovision contest. The final will be held on May 23.
It found some "inappropriate action" - such as interest charges being raised or unnecessary fees added - was experienced by 92% of viable firms seen by RBS's Global Restructuring Group.
GRG operated from 2005 to 2013 and at its peak handled 16,000 companies.
The banking giant denies systematic abuse of its customers.
GRG would step in when businesses had skipped a loan repayment, or seen their sales and profits dip notably and was marketed as an expert service that would turn around a business.
But the report, seen by the BBC, commissioned for the City watchdog, the FCA, found struggling companies that were placed in the recovery group had a slim chance of emerging from it.
It said just 10% returned intact to the main RBS bank.
As of the end of 2014, 69% of firms, were still in the successor to GRG, which was supposed to return them to health.
Many of those businesses remained tied into complex loans with the bank in the form of derivatives linked to interest rates, from which it is often too expensive to leave.
Others ended up in administration, liquidation or a trade sale. According to one BBC source, instead of getting firms back on their feet, GRG was more like their "undertaker".
The 361 page leaked report also says the bank provided only "narrow compliance" to investigators.
Sources told the BBC investigators would regularly ask for details from the bank on certain matters and RBS would only provide the absolute minimum information.
RBS disputes this though. It says it provided investigators with "circa 323 gigabytes of data, comprising more than 15 million physical pages and 270,000 emails."
Tracy Standish ran a chain of 18 bowling complexes nationwide and banked with RBS for decades.
When sales dipped during the recession from 2008, his business was placed into the hands of GRG.
It applied a default charge of £100,000 to be paid immediately and raised the interest rate on some of his existing loans to 15% - greatly exacerbating Mr Standish's financial burden.
Mr Standish and his family had to surrender 80% of their company to the bank. He's now suing RBS.
He said he was "devastated" by the actions of the bank.
"It was to suddenly not know where to go, to be completely lost. It was like an out of body experience. I just really didn't know what had happened to my world, and where to go next." said Mr Standish, from Poole.
"I must have been in shock maybe for a month... That just descended into full blown depression.
"I had to be referred to a counsellor for treatment, I was prescribed anti-depressants. And I became suicidal, and was so, for some period."
RBS says that the Standish case was currently the subject of litigation and that the bank would be "vigorously defending these claims".
The FCA provided a summary of the main findings last November.
The full report calls for a fundamental review by RBS of how it handles its SME customers in financial distress' and RBS has already set up a £400m fund to compensate those customers mistreated by GRG.
The bank, which is 73% owned by the government, said it had apologised for previous mistreatment of some customers and had taken steps - agreed with the FCA- to put things right. That included a new complaints process overseen by a retired High Court Judge - and an automatic refund of complex fees paid by these customers.
The City watchdog also admitted that it may in fact lack the powers to take action when SMEs face mistreatment: "The activities carried out by GRG are largely unregulated; therefore, the FCA's powers are limited in this area.
"However, we are investigating issues raised by the Report which fall within our remit."
The issue of RBS's treatment of business customers was first raised in 2013 by Lawrence Tomlinson, the 'Enterprise Czar' for the then Business Secretary Vince Cable.
Sir Vince, now the leader of the Liberal Democrats, said: "The story of GRG and RBS is a dreadful legacy.
"This happened a decade ago but the banks continued refusal to accept copious evidence that good firms were driven out of business to boost the profits of the bank by acquiring their property is to its great discredit."
At its peak in 2011 and 2012, it handled 16,000 companies, with total assets worth £65bn.
RBS set up a £400m compensation fund to make redress. But some campaigners have suggested that the final figure could be closer to £2bn.
A separate BBC investigation last year found that that GRG earned profits of £1.2bn in 2011 and was a major contributor to RBS profits while its investment banking division was posting record losses.
RBS was and still is the UK's biggest business bank. It lends to more companies than any other financial institution and this report adds to the reputational and financial issues already in play at RBS.
Only last month, it agreed to pay £3.7bn in fines for misselling mortgage-backed assets in the run up to the financial crisis in 2007-08.
The bank itself expects to have to pay further multi billion pound fines over the coming year.
Now, it faces a number of private lawsuits from current and former business customers who may feel they were mistreated by their own bank.

The seven Roman Catholic seminarians had gone to The City Arms to toast Father Peter McClaren's ordination when they were asked to move on.
But assistant manager Matt Morgan said they received a free round of drinks when the situation was explained.
"They were all dressed in their black and white clothes," he said.
"The staff thought they were a stag. We do have quite a few issues on the weekends with parties wearing fancy dress so it is our policy to turn them away."
Father Michael Doyle, who knows the group, said the seven went to the pub in Quay Street to celebrate the ordination at Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral of St David in nearby Charles Street.
He added the pub was a favourite of his colleagues including the Archbishop of Cardiff, George Stack.
"They arrived at The City Arms and they were dressed wearing the clerical collar," he said.
"The doorman basically said something along the lines of, 'sorry gents, we have a policy of no fancy dress and no stag dos'."
The students had started to leave when they were approached by the bar manager.
"He basically said, 'you're real, aren't you?'," said Fr Doyle.
"He invited them back in and when they walked back in the entire pub burst into a round of applause, and they had a free round off The City Arms."
Fr Doyle said the group stayed at the pub most of the afternoon chatting to customers.
Mr Morgan said the priests were "all great sports and saw the funny side of the situation".
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Cardiff added: "We'd like to thank The City Arms for being good sports through all of this and their kind gesture to our seminarians."
More than half of Syrian refugees to the UK had suffered torture or violence but "only a few" had been referred for treatment, an MPs' committee said.
They also said a UK target to resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees by May 2020 remained a "significant challenge".
Councils said they were confident of meeting the target and now focused on ensuring families were well supported.
Former PM David Cameron pledged that the UK would take 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020. Up to the end of September 2016, 4,400 had been resettled.
The Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said "encouraging" progress was being made but problems remained with the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement programme.
It noted that few torture survivors had been referred to specialists for treatment, because of difficulties in identifying who needed help.
The government said it shared information given to it about refugees, before they arrived in the UK, but they could be reluctant to tell strangers what had happened to them - possibly believing it would affect their eligibility to come to the UK.
PAC chairwoman Meg Hillier said: "It is a stark fact that more than half of the refugees resettled under the programme by the end of June last year had suffered torture or violence and it is critical that such people receive specialist support."
The MPs' report said a review should be set up within six months to see what more could be done to identify and help victims.
The committee also said meeting the 20,000 target remained a "significant challenge". While sufficient councils had volunteered to take refugees, they could only do so once housing, support and services were identified.
Some councils were concerned that the funding of £8,250 per person for their first year - reducing each year - was not sufficient to cover the cost of services needed, the report said.
The National Audit Office pointed out in September that a lack of school places and accommodation were among the "main barriers" to local authority involvement.
Friday's report also said some local authorities were confused about what services they were required to provide. Refugees settling in the UK are granted "humanitarian protection" rather than "refugee" status - which meant people could miss out on access to some public services like welfare benefits or student finance.
"Failing to address these issues could pose risks to the successful delivery of the programme in future," the report said.
Lucy Gregg, of the organisation Freedom From Torture, said there were "serious gaps" in identifying Syrian torture victims.
"Early identification of torture survivors and the provision of specialist clinical services are absolutely vital in ensuring that those being resettled can integrate into their host communities," she said.
Immigration minister Robert Goodwill said the government was "on target" to resettle 20,000 people: "We have secured all the local authority pledges to reach our commitment, but the hard work across government involving the devolved administrations and local authorities will continue until we have turned all of these pledges into firm offers.
"We are providing substantial financial support to help local authorities provide vulnerable refugees with a safe environment and a chance to build their lives."
David Simmonds, of the Local Government Association, said councils were "confident" the target would be reached, adding: "The focus is now on ensuring families are well supported.
"Councils are and will be helping some of the most vulnerable families fleeing Syria who will need access to ongoing support services to help them cope with injuries, disabilities and recover from the severe trauma they may have experienced."
Long after the last militant has been annihilated and the final suicide bomb exploded, the effects of Boko Haram's terror tactics in Nigeria's north-east will still be seen and felt. And not just in the bodies maimed or the properties razed or the offspring of rape.
The insurgents are leaving behind in some communities a dense cloud of internecine hatred and suspicion.
Last month, I travelled to Michika on a mission organised by the Adamawa Peace Initiative (API), an interfaith attempt to reduce violence and build peace through a collaboration of local religious, community and business leaders.
Since 2012 it has been engaged in a number of joint peace-building programmes in the north-eastern state of Adamawa, working with the American University of Nigeria (AUN), and Michika is currently top of their list.
The town, one of the largest in the state, has a mixed Christian and Muslim population, with the former in the majority.
It borders Borno state, the heartland of the Boko Haram insurgency.
Although tensions have always existed between the two religious groups, they have managed to live in peace.
"When we were fleeing Boko Haram," one Christian woman in Michika recounted, "I saw two abandoned children who were about seven years old and took them with me to Yola. They were Muslim but it didn't make any difference to me."
But all that has changed.
Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani:
"The Christian and Muslim children exchange insults in the streets and in public transport, calling one another names and making hateful or snide remarks"
Boko Haram overran the town in September 2014. For the next seven months, Michika was part of the militants' so-called caliphate, where they hoisted flags and defaced government signboards with Arabic inscriptions announcing the greatness of Allah.
After the Nigerian military liberated the town, the thousands who had fled gradually began to return.
But these days, the Christians and Muslims are at loggerheads.
"Because our Christian religion tells us to treat people well, the other side decided to take advantage of us," said one Christian man.
While a Muslim woman complained: "I heard two women whispering about my hijab, then one of them asked me to tell them what I had hidden underneath."
The Christian and Muslim children exchange insults in the streets and in public transport, calling one another names and making hateful or snide remarks.
The two religious groups now have separate market days - the most important day of the week in this agricultural community.
The Christians have chosen Saturday as their fixed big day for buying and selling produce from their farms, while the Muslims have theirs on Sundays - when the Christians are in church.
As a result, customers who used to come from far and wide to buy from Michika market now prefer to go elsewhere, leading to a further plunge in the fortunes of a town already economically devastated by the militants whose presence interrupted the yearly planting and harvesting cycle.
The different groups accuse each other of showing favouritism when relief materials donated by NGOs are being distributed, saying that who gets what, when and how is determined by the group to which the person in charge belongs.
With the poor agricultural output and the loss of other means of livelihood abandoned during the period of Boko Haram occupation, these relief materials are a major source of survival for the people.
"Christians in this town are in the majority so they deprive us of our rights," a Muslim man said.
Boko Haram at a glance:
'How I almost became a suicide bomber'
'Boko Haram took my children'
Surviving Nigeria's Boko Haram
But another resident complained: "There are no Christians holding top positions in the local government or House of Assembly."
The suspicion in Michika sometimes goes a little bit beyond religion.
For example, the professional game hunters and vigilantes, two groups that have taken upon themselves the role of protecting the community from further attacks, have been shooting one another dead, each accusing members of the other of being Boko Haram sympathisers.
The head of the hunters is Christian and that of the vigilantes is Muslim, but both groups memberships are a religious mix.
All these sordid experiences were recounted in detail by the residents of Michika, during dialogue sessions organised by the AUN-API initiative.
The town's leaders, women, men, youths, hunters and vigilantes, met in classrooms of the government secondary school, with academic staff and a respected imam and priest acting as mediators in a community where people no longer trust their own local leaders.
It was the first time that the people of Michika had been given the opportunity to discuss these deep issues openly.
Many described their experiences and regrets in tears. Others spoke with passionate anger and bitterness.
At some point while the chairman of the hunters was speaking, the vigilantes stood up and stormed out of the meeting.
But, overall, the consensus from the various dialogue sessions was the same: The people were glad for the opportunity given them to finally talk about these issues and begin the healing process.
"We had been carrying these grudges instead of tabling them," a man said. "We had been pretending as if they did not exist."
More from Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani:
Mr Kerry, on a Middle East tour, said IS was the "single greatest threat" the people of Iraq now faced.
He said there would be a global plan to defeat IS, but the new Iraqi government must be the "engine" of that fight.
IS has seized large areas of northern Iraq, overrunning the army and gaining backing from some disaffected Sunnis.
Meanwhile, at least 13 people died in a series of car bombs in east Baghdad.
The explosions happened minutes apart in the Shia neighbourhood of New Baghdad. At least 20 others were injured.
Barbara Plett-Usher, BBC News, Baghdad
An inclusive Iraqi government was the condition the Americans set for increased US and Nato military support. But a senior state department official said Mr Kerry was mostly talking to leaders about Baghdad's role in the global coalition against Islamic State.
The US wants to see speedy moves by the Shia majority to meet the grievances of the disgruntled Sunnis and Kurds, so all can form a united front against IS.
That is an enormous challenge, given that many disputed issues have deep structural roots. But the US official said a significant step would be the creation of regional armed forces or national guard units, a decision taken in the wake of criticism that the army had been used as a sectarian tool by the former Shia prime minister.
Mr Kerry made an unannounced visit to the Iraqi capital Baghdad at the start of a tour of Middle Eastern capitals aimed at boosting military, political and financial support for the fight against IS.
He held talks with Iraq's new Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi, who appealed for international support to defeat the "cancer" of IS.
"Of course, our role is to defend our country, but the international community is responsible to protect Iraq," Mr Abadi said after meeting Mr Kerry.
The two men also discussed Mr Abadi's plans for his new government.
The prime minister, a Shia, has promised to devolve more power to Sunnis and tackle the central government's relations with the Kurdish minority.
He has also said he will overhaul the military and make it more inclusive.
The US secretary of state said he was "very encouraged" by Mr Abadi's commitment to reform.
"A new and inclusive Iraqi government has to be the engine of global fight against [Islamic State]," Mr Kerry said.
The previous Shia-led government of Nouri Maliki was accused of exacerbating sectarian tension by excluding Sunnis from power and failing to deal with Kurdish demands.
Islamic State: What key countries think
US President Barack Obama is due to give details later of the US strategy to tackle IS.
He said on Tuesday that he had authority to widen military action against IS without the approval of Congress.
The US has already conducted dozens of air strikes on IS targets in the past month, in an effort to protect ethnic and religious minorities threatened by IS.
IS militants described the beheadings of two US journalists as a retaliation against the strikes.
Powerful militant Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr appeared to criticise Mr Abadi for meeting Mr Kerry.
"We wish for Iraq to co-operate with the neighbouring countries and its allies, but not with the occupiers," he was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency, referring to the recent US military presence in the country.
Meanwhile, Saudi ambassador in London Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf rejected suggestions that his government was supporting or funding IS.
He instead blamed a lack of international involvement for allowing the group to flourish.
The White House said Mr Obama spoke to Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah about IS on Wednesday.
Analysts say the kingdom, which has backed Sunni groups around the Middle East, is crucial to any effort to build a coalition against IS.
Police were called to Hope Street Lane in Edinburgh city centre on Sunday 7 February as a large group of men fought in the street.
The disturbance followed a Scottish Cup tie at Hearts' Tynecastle Stadium, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
As a result, 32 men aged between 18 and 47 have now been formally charged.
All charges have been brought under the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications Act.
Police Scotland said officers were following positive lines of inquiry to trace a number of other males now identified.
Insp Emma Croft, from St Leonard's Police Station, said: "We will continue to work closely with the National Football Co-ordination Unit and football clubs to carry out investigations as necessary into any football-related criminal activity which occurs."
Windows 10 is destined to change the way millions of us interact with our computers and gives Microsoft's chief executive, Satya Nadella, the opportunity to steer the company in a new direction.
He describes the OS as "Windows as a Service", which means he plans to release improvements as they become available, via the internet, rather than working towards another "big bang" upgrade in a few years.
Versions of the software will also be released for smartphones - making the Windows Phone OS defunct - as well as the Xbox One games console, "internet of things" kit and, potentially, smartwatches at a later stage.
There has even been talk of this being the "last version of Windows" assuming all goes well - so no pressure then.
The best explanation Microsoft has given for jumping a number has been in the form of a very nerdy joke: "Windows 10 because seven, eight, [ate] nine."
The suspicion is the company's marketers just think it sounds cooler.
And, of course, there is the added benefit that it further distances the product from the ill-fated Windows 8 while catching up in numeric terms with Apple's rival Mac OS X.
At first look, at least on a desktop PC, the user interface looks pretty similar to the popular Windows 7.
Microsoft is pitching the product as being "familiar and easy to use", as part of a shift away from the unpopular touch-centric focus of Windows 8.
Perhaps the headline feature is the return of the Start Menu, providing users with quick pop-up access to their favourite apps, documents and settings.
It does, however, carry over some of W8's design language.
To the right of the list of sober-looking shortcuts, the Start Menu now also offers a selection of customisable "live tiles".
These can also launch favoured apps, but people may prefer to use them to get at-a-glance updates about how many unread emails they have, what the weather is doing, forthcoming diary alerts and other notifications.
Those pining for Windows 8's full-display Start Screen can still turn it back on via settings, and it appears by default on tablets when no keyboard is attached.
The other big addition is Cortana - the virtual assistant first featured in Windows Phone 8.1.
This makes sense of natural-language requests spoken or typed into a computer to help users manage their diaries, search the internet for information tailored to their interests, play music they might like, and control third-party apps, among other activities.
The more Cortana studies its owner's habits, the better, in theory, the suggestions it makes. Those who find this a bit freaky can restrict the data it has access to.
Other new features include:
No.
Microsoft is making it available to members of its Insider programme - people who tested preview versions of the system - from the start.
But it is staggering delivery to others.
As part of the process it is carrying out compatibility checks, so that PCs most likely to experience serious problems running the software do not get the upgrade until the relevant bugs have been dealt with.
If users have not already pre-registered for the download, they can do so by clicking a Windows icon in their taskbar. If it isn't there, they will need to carry out a complicated workaround to make it appear.
That means some people will have to wait days and perhaps weeks to get Windows 10 for free.
Some computer makers have already, however, rushed out machines pre-installed with the software to shop shelves.
Boxes containing the software on USB flash drives are also due to go on sale "between mid-August and September" for those that don't have broadband internet. Retailers - including Currys in the UK - are also offering in-store installs for a fee.
The money paid by computer makers to preinstall Windows on their PCs is one of Microsoft's biggest sources of revenue.
It also helps Microsoft direct business' budgets towards its lucrative add-on cloud services - including its Office 365 productivity suite, Azure cloud computing platform, and Dynamics supply chain management tools - as well as the IT support and training it sells.
There are also subscription fees to be made from consumers, whether it is charging for OneDrive cloud storage, calls made via Skype, or access to Microsoft's Groove music library.
Every customer lost to devices running a Google, Apple or Linux operating system is one more likely to spend their money elsewhere.
In addition, every company that decides to stick with Windows 7, Vista or even XP is one that will not be able to support all of Microsoft's latest technologies.
Windows Phone has also been a bit of a flop, at least in most countries.
Now, there is a new pitch: if you link a Windows 10 Mobile handset to a screen, keyboard and mouse, it can double as a PC.
This feature - called Continuum - might appeal to the billions of consumers in emerging economies for whom buying both a smartphone and a laptop would be unaffordable.
Consumers and small businesses are being offered a free upgrade of existing computers running Windows 7 or 8 at any point over the first year of Windows 10's release.
In addition, Microsoft's move to a "universal app platform" should make the OS more attractive to developers.
Microsoft will run a single app store, and every product should be compatible with a plethora of devices - including PCs, Xboxes, smartphones and the forthcoming HoloLens headset - as long as the computer involved is powerful enough and the coder has made the user interface responsive.
Microsoft is also making it easier for developers to port Android and iOS apps to the platform.
Until about a month ago, this was a common complaint about the preview builds.
But critics acknowledge many of their biggest gripes have now been addressed , even if there are some outstanding issues - such as Edge's lack of support for extensions.
Big businesses are still unlikely to adopt the OS on day one. Tech consultancy Gartner has advised its clients to wait until at least the second half of 2016.
However, one issue that may have deterred consumers has been addressed.
Microsoft caused controversy when it suggested people using the Home version of its system would have to add new features as they became available.
Matters were not helped when it explicitly said businesses would be able to wait until "quality and application compatibility has been assessed in the consumer market".
That led some bloggers to accuse Microsoft of treating the public like "guinea pigs".
But on the eve of Windows 10's release, Microsoft told the BBC it had added an option to defer all Home Edition updates, security fixes aside.
There remains, however, an incentive to buy the Pro or Enterprise versions, as their owners will be able to control which specific features are added.
One final thought: just in case you try Windows 10 and do not like it, it is worth knowing there is a "rollback" option that works for the first 30 days.
The SNP won 56 of 59 Scottish seats with Labour, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats retaining one each.
Labour lost a total of 40 constituencies to the Nationalists, 23 of them in Glasgow and the west.
The party's leader, Jim Murphy, has vowed to remain in charge, despite losing his own Renfrewshire East constituency to the SNP.
Mr Murphy has said he will stand for Holyrood in 2016.
He described the election as "a dreadful night" for Labour and said his party had been "overwhelmed".
In another high profile loss in the area, former Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander lost Paisley and Renfrewshire South to a 20-year-old student.
The SNP's Mhairi Black, who is studying politics at Glasgow University, has become Britain's youngest MP since 1667.
She won with 23,548 votes - a majority of 5,684 and share of 50.9%.
Elsewhere in the Glasgow and west of Scotland area, Labour lost the following constituencies to the SNP: Airdrie and Shotts; Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock; Ayrshire Central; Ayrshire North and Arran; Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill; Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East; Dunbartonshire West; East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow; Glasgow Central; Glasgow East; Glasgow North; Glasgow North East; Glasgow North West; Glasgow South; Glasgow South West; Inverclyde; Kilmarnock and Loudoun; Lanark and Hamilton East; Motherwell and Wishaw; Paisley and Renfrewshire North; Renfrewshire East; Rutherglen and Hamilton West.
The Lib Dems failed to retain any seats in the patch, losing both Argyll and Bute and Dunbartonshire East to the SNP.
But unregulated mining has caused serious health and environmental issues, and led to growing conflicts between elephants and humans.
In the coal-rich central state of Chhattisgarh, for example, fly ash has caused respiratory problems and serious illnesses like tuberculosis among people, but their troubles don't end there.
Forests are being cleared for coal mining and wild elephants are entering villages in search of food and attacking people.
Photojournalist Subrata Biswas has documented the fallout of India's dependence on coal.
"As thousands of acres of forest land are destroyed to mining, foraging elephants attracted by the crops in the fields often enter villages, resulting in an alarmingly high number of human-elephant conflict situations," says Biswas.
Officials estimate elephants have been responsible for 8,657 incidents of property damage and 99,152 incidents of crop damage in Chhattisgarh between 2005 and 2014.
"We were sleeping when the elephants broke into our room. Somehow we managed to escape but I fractured my left leg when a large part of the wall fell on my leg. My husband saved my life," says Rujri Khalkho, 70, whose home was damaged by a herd of wild elephants almost a year ago.
A compensation of 10,000 rupees ($149; £114) has not been enough to repair her house or pay for her medical care.
Deaths of elephants due to electrocution have become common in the state.
In Dharamjaigarh, the most affected area, officials have recorded 30 elephant and 75 human deaths so far.
In 2009, Kanti Bai Sau, 40, lost her home and farm to an open-cast coal mine.
She was promised compensation of 200,000 rupees ($2,980; £2,290) and a job to a family member, but received neither. Her son died last year of respiratory complications.
"There is no fresh air to breath, fresh water to drink. Coal has usurped everything here."
"We lived next to this mine for almost 10 years and watched helplessly as our wells went dry, forests disappeared and fields become unproductive," says Girja Bai Chauhan.
"We have lost almost eight acres of our fields to the mine and authorities haven't fulfilled a single promise they made while acquiring land. They sent us into a dark future and unhealthy environment to live and breathe in."
Pipelines carry fly ash slurry from a local thermal power power plant in Korba to a fly ash pond.
Environment activists say that every year approximately 50 million tonnes of fly ash is generated by power plants in Chhattishgarh but not even the half of this amount have been reutilized to reduce the pollution from fly ash.
Fly ash is known to contain trace elements such as arsenic, barium and mercury among others, and unlined ponds like this could be polluting groundwater by leaching.
"The ash is everywhere. When the wind blows, everything is coated with a layer of white grey ash. The road, ponds, our houses, sometimes even our spectacles get coated with a fine layer of the ash," says Biswas.
Rohit Rathia, 55, suffers from tuberculosis.
He lives in a village next to an open cast mine where lung diseases such as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), silicosis and tuberculosis have become common ailments.
The bug miscalculated the sentence reductions prisoners in Washington state had received for good behaviour.
It was introduced in 2002 as part of an update that followed a court ruling about applying good behaviour credits.
State officials said that many early-release prisoners would have to return to jail to finish their sentences.
"That this problem was allowed to continue for 13 years is deeply disappointing to me, totally unacceptable and, frankly, maddening," said Washington's governor Jay Inslee at a press conference.
The Washington Department of Corrections (DoC) added that it was made aware of the problem in 2012 when the family of one victim found out that the offender was getting out too early.
Despite this, the faulty software was not corrected until a new IT boss for the DoC was appointed, who realised how serious the problem had become.
The manager then informed senior staff at the DoC and the governor's office.
Analysis of the errors showed that, on average, prisoners whose sentences were wrongly calculated got out 49 days early. One prisoner had his sentence cut by 600 days. It is not known if any offender committed further crimes after being released prematurely.
Local police are now helping to round up those who still need to spend time in jail. Five people have already been returned to cells.
Mr Inslee said he had ordered the DoC to fix the software as quickly as possible.
An update that applies the correct formula for calculating sentence cuts is due to be in place by 7 January. Until then the DoC has been ordered not to release any prisoner without checking manually that they should be released.
An independent investigation has also been started to find out how the mistake was left uncorrected for so long.

It's controlled by a tablet and the passenger can choose their destination on it.
The drone, which has 8 propellers, takes between 2-4 hours to charge and would last for around 23 minutes flying time.
One suggestion is for more knockout rounds, leading to two 'super-league' groups of eight teams - the current format features eight groups of four.
A spokesman told the Guardian Uefa was in "constant contact" with clubs but "no concrete proposals" were in place.
The current structure is unlikely to change under the present TV rights deal, which runs to the end of 2017-18.
The Champions League replaced the European Cup, which was a straight knockout competition, in 1992.
There are currently three qualifying rounds and a play-off round, all played over two legs, then the group stage which features 32 teams divided into eight groups, with the top two in each group advancing to the knockout round of 16.
The European Clubs' Association, led by former West Germany international striker Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has held discussions regarding a tournament consisting of 20 teams from Italy, England, Spain, Germany and France.
Inter Milan chief executive Michael Bolingbroke told the BBC this week that he saw merit in the idea of Champions League wildcards for teams that have not qualified through their league position.
Age Cymru said it was having a serious impact on the lives of elderly people living in the areas.
In March, the British Bankers Association, which represents the UK banking sector, pledged to try to minimise the effect of branch closures.
The union Unite said the industry-wide agreement was just "paying lip service" to the problem.
They said some impact assessments about closures were only being published less than a week before a branch closed.
The figures from Campaign for Community Banking shows 28 town and villages are now without any banks, with some people having to drive up to eight miles to their nearest branch.
Age Cymru said having a local bank that was convenient for older people was "vital" for ensuring they did not become socially isolated.
Graeme Francis, the charity's head of policy and public affairs, said older people were at increased risk of financial abuse because of the branch closures.
"We know that around one in five older people regularly give their bank card and pin number to someone else they know, often a family member or a domiciliary care worker, to get money for them," he said.
"And whilst most people would be very trustworthy in that situation, it does clearly open a risk of financial abuse up for people.
"So there are real safety concerns that go along with a reduction in services."
Banks said the different ways of banking meant visits to branches had fallen massively.
Natwest said online and mobile transactions had grown by more than 300% since 2010, while only 9% of its total transactions now take place in its branches, compared to 25% in 2010.
Mark Douglas, of the bank's Wales office, said they always tried to minimise the impact on communities, in particular through the use of mobile banking vans.
"We're certainly not in a rush to get out of any community," he said.
"It's a difficult and sometimes emotional decision to have to make. We're not in a rush and we always go through making sure we have a very robust and considered leave behind plan before we close any branch."
A British Bankers Association (BBA) spokesman said the decision to close bank branches was "never taken lightly".
"The protocol we have developed with the support of government, consumer and business groups ensure that provisions are put in place so that customers are able to access banking services in their local area," he said.
"High street banks are determined to leave no one behind and they have invested millions in refurbishing their branches to install the latest technology to make them easy and accessible."
Fans booed the national anthem Hong Kong shares with China during last week's World Cup qualifier match.
HKFA was fined by Fifa last month for a similar incident and was warned against further infringements.
The city has seen lingering anti-Beijing sentiment since last year's mass pro-democracy street protests.
HKFA said in a statement that "disciplinary proceedings" had begun over the 17 November match, where Hong Kong fans booed the Chinese national anthem March of the Volunteers.
Fans also held up placards saying "Boo" and "Hong Kong is not China" on them. Hong Kong, a former British colony, is a special administrative region of China.

HKFA said it appeared to have violated a clause in Fifa's disciplinary code on the safety of matches, where associations which organise matches must "ensure that law and order are maintained".
It has been asked to provide a statement and evidence to Fifa by 1 December, and the result of the investigation will be released before the end of that month.
Fifa's code also states that the home association is liable for attendees' "improper conduct", such as "displaying insulting or political slogans in any form, uttering insulting words or sounds".
Besides the booing, the match took place without any major incident. It ended in a 0-0 draw, damaging China's prospects in the World Cup, to the delight of Hong Kong fans.
Tensions had been building up before the match, and for the first time Hong Kong and mainland fans had to use separate entrances and bathrooms to prevent clashes.
HKFA was fined 40,000 Hong Kong dollars ($5,160; £3,420) last month when fans booed the Chinese national anthem during a World Cup qualifier match between Hong Kong and Qatar in September.
Fifa had then warned HKFA that "any further infringements will lead to more severe sanctions".
The association had then blamed the booing on a small minority of fans.
The 26-year-old left to join St Helens at the end of 2015 on a two-year deal after 57 appearances for the club.

Salford owner Marwan Koukash has also confirmed the signing of hooker Kriss Brining from York City Knights on his personal Twitter page.
"Lama has the potential to be the best front rower in the Super League and we are really looking forward to him getting back into our group," said Salford head coach Ian Watson.

Ten thousand miles away, though, in his adopted home of Fiji, his status is more similar to that of David Beckham.
"There aren't too many gingers on the island so it's hard to avoid being spotted," says Ryan.
"I can't really go for a quiet beer. If I visit the capital, Suva, I'll have to take a couple of hundred photos, every village knows my car now when I drive past and the people come out shouting and waving."
The reason for the Londoner's popularity in Fiji is that he is the coach of the national rugby sevens team - and the most successful one the country's ever had.
He has guided them to the both the 2015 and 2016 Sevens World Series titles and he will also lead the team at this summer's Rio Olympics, where rugby sevens will make its debut.
And, for a country that has won the Sevens World Cup twice and the prestigious Hong Kong Sevens a record 16 times, hopes of a first ever Olympic medal are sky high.
"Suddenly we have a sport in the Games where we do get a lot of global success," said Ryan.
"The entire nation has already gone crazy about the road to gold.
"The people are very proud of their rugby teams and the boys do come from the people: they're unemployed, prison guards, army officers, hotel porters.
"So there's a real attachment to the group and the whole country will feel a collective pride. You can't bottle that.
"There's a chance we'll be in an Olympic final doing our best for a gold medal."
The sport is not quite at the elevation of a religion in the devout, God-fearing archipelago, but it is not too far behind.
"It's something that binds villages together," explains Ryan. "Everyone plays a random form of sevens in the villages before school and after work.
"Men, women and children play together - never with a rugby ball - but using coconuts or plastic bottles filled with sand."
Ryan believes this passion, as well as year-round competitions and the natural athleticism of the Pacific islanders accounts for the nation's prowess, adding: "I've seen teams of villagers beating visiting international sides like Argentina and France."
The 44-year-old has called Fiji 'home' since 2013 after he left his post as England's sevens coach. In that role he had coached England to its first Sevens World Cup final in 20 years.
And, while living and working on a tropical island may sound like an obvious welcome change, it's not the only refreshing aspect of Fiji life.
"I've had a revival in my coaching. From falling out of love with rugby when I left England I'm very much in love with the game now," he said.
"It's polar opposites to the corridors of the Rugby Football Union where everything's regulated.
"I would be told if the players had spent too much time on the field and what music to play in the changing room for optimal motivation levels.
"In Fiji we train them until they can't run anymore.
"They eat brown coconuts before training and green ones afterwards.
"If I went back to a country with lots of money, I'd strip their programme down to the basics."
But Ryan's Pacific adventure has not been all success and sun-kissed beaches.
When he first arrived he worked for several months unpaid as his employers ran into financial difficulties, and then in February this year the strongest cyclone ever to hit Fiji devastated the country - killing more than 40 people and flattening communities.
Despite that, the sevens team have continued to shine and are on course to retain their Sevens World Series crown and also challenge for Olympic honours.
And Ryan feels the spirit among his team is worth more than the resources of other countries who can augment their squads in Rio with global XV-a-side stars such as Sonny Bill Williams, Bryan Habana and Bernard Foley.
"We certainly can win," said Ryan.
"New Zealand, South Africa and Australia are bringing in very well paid overseas professionals but we're picking the boys from the villages and we're using that as a real strength.
"The fact that they have no money and the fact that this will turn them into household names forevermore in Fiji is driving the team.
"The negative of not having any money can really be flipped on its head for us into a positive.
"If we're going to win a gold medal it's not going to be because of money - but because of heart and ability and the local boys from the villages doing their thing."
After their 2015 Sevens World Series success the nation had a week of public holiday as celebration. What, then, if his team could bring home a first Olympic gold medal for the nation?
"The boys will be given houses and pieces of land; ministerial positions; jobs for life.
"They'll start a legacy. We have a younger generation of sportsmen and women who are incredibly talented and rugby might just get the ball rolling for other sports as well.
"We might even have some future track athletes, or netball stars, soccer players or American football players who come from the Pacific.
"It's a wonderful time for Fiji. We've got one of the best sevens side's the country's ever had and I'm lucky I've been part of it."
The Commons Defence Committee said it was "concerned" former US Defence Secretary Robert Gates recently warned cuts would leave the UK without the "ability to be a full partner".
The UK should consider more the effect on allies of military cuts, MPs said.
No 10 says the UK is still "a first-class player in terms of defence".
The Army is undergoing a 20% reduction in regular troop numbers, from 102,000 in 2010 to 82,000 in 2020. This is to be accompanied by a rise in the number of reservists, from 24,000 to 30,000.
Similarly, the Royal Navy and the RAF are both preparing to lose 5,000 regulars and gain 500 reservists over the same time period.
Unveiling his committee's latest report, entitled Deterrence in the 21st Century, chairman and Conservative MP James Arbuthnot warned that once forces were cut back they would be "very difficult to rebuild".
He said: "Deterrence must be credible to be effective. Britain has to show the capacity and the will to respond proportionately and effectively to threats at every level.
"Recent events in Ukraine illustrate the speed with which new threats, and indeed the reappearance of old threats, can manifest themselves."
In January, Mr Gates said: "With the fairly substantial reductions in defence spending in Great Britain, what we're finding is that it won't have full spectrum capabilities and the ability to be a full partner as they have been in the past."
The spectrum refers to the ability of a country's military to fight across air, sea and land.
He singled out cuts to the Royal Navy as particularly damaging and he noted that - for the first time since World War One - Britain did not have an operational aircraft carrier.
On Wednesday, Mr Arbuthnot said: "Any proposed reductions in our conventional capabilities must be considered in the light of the effect it has on our allies - and others - rather than the purely financial."
He also predicted that the world was becoming "more multi-polar and less stable".
Given this potential deterioration in stability, the committee welcomed the "emphasis that the government places on the importance of cyber-defence".
But it warned: "We are concerned that the difficulty in identifying actors in a cyber-attack makes the ability to deter that much harder as hostile parties may feel more confident that they can mount an attack with impunity."
There were "question marks over the proportionality and legality of a response to a cyber-attack", it added.
"We call on the [Ministry of Defence] to set out in more detail in the 2015 Defence and Security Review the government's thinking on how it can deter cyber-attack from both state and non-state actors and what messaging it can employ to make it clear that an attack on vital national assets will elicit an appropriate and determined response."
Mr Arbuthnot said: "We shall increasingly need a more complex security strategy."
This should include nuclear weapons, which have "an important place in the defence philosophy of the UK", the committee agreed.
But Mr Arbuthnot added: "Strong conventional forces provide the UK with a contingency against the unexpected threats that may emerge. In a rapidly changing global environment, we may have little warning.
"Events might require the reconstitution of conventional forces, but once cut back they will be very difficult to rebuild."
Labour's shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker said: "The report is right to raise important concerns around the impact of government defence policy on our allies' perceptions of UK capabilities, as well as echoing the serious questions around cyber-defence that Labour has asked.
"As remarked on recently by the Ministry of Defence's permanent secretary, it is clear that this government undertook their defence review with insufficient evidence.
"In contrast, we are clear that a future Labour Strategic Defence and Security Review will be both strategically ambitious and fiscally realistic."
Emergency services sealed off the scene at Howgate Street and nearby Galloway Street was also closed.
Local residents were urged to remain indoors and keep their windows closed. There were no reports of any injuries as a result of the incident.
A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said the alarm had been raised at about 03:45 on Monday.
He added: "Crews were faced with a well-developed fire on arrival and they used high pressure hose reels, main jets and a water tower to tackle the blaze in the one storey commercial premises.
"The fire had also spread to an adjacent building.
"Firefighters also had to cool acetylene cylinders which were at the premises and they are continuing damping down operations at this time."
Police said that due to the scale of the fire a joint investigation into the cause would be carried out in due course.
The network's Abdul Rauf Zakir, who has planned many suicide attacks, was also added to the sanctions list.
A travel ban, arms embargo and asset freezing are part of the sanctions.
It comes after the US said it had decided to designate the group a terror network, subjecting it to sanctions.
The UN said it was responsible for many of the highest-profile attacks in Afghanistan, including killing eight people in a hotel Kabul in 2008, and the attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul in June 2011, which killed 11 Afghan civilians and two Afghan policemen.
The Haqqani network was also responsible for the September 2011 attack against the US Embassy and the International Security Assistance Force headquarters in Kabul. Sixteen Afghans were killed in the 19-hour attack, including at least six children, the UN said in its listing.
The Haqqani Network has also been involved in a number of kidnappings, and has co-operated with the Taliban and other militant organisations in Afghanistan, it added.
The Haqqanis hold numerous Western, Pakistani and Afghan hostages, among them US army sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, 25, who has been held prisoner for more than three years.
Abdul Rauf Zakir is in charge of all operations in Kabul, Takhar, Kunduz and Baghlan provinces in Afghanistan, the UN said.
It said he was responsible for training recruits in basic small arms, heavy weapons, and basic improvised explosive device construction.
Brook, 30, the reigning IBF welterweight champion, jumped two divisions to challenge Golovkin.
He showed tremendous bravery and got plenty of shots through the Kazakh's defences, but was finally ground down.
And with shots raining down on Brook in the fifth round, his trainer Dominic Ingle threw in the towel.
It was Brook's first defeat in his 37th professional fight, while the undefeated Golovkin now has 33 knockouts from 36 fights, including 23 in a row.
He was taken to hospital as a precaution after revealing he suffered a broken eye socket in the second round and had blurred vision.
"I was frustrating him. I was starting to settle into it but when you see three, four, five of them it's difficult," he said.
Golovkin backed Ingle's decision, saying: "I think he's smart, I respect his corner. Seriously, the last round he couldn't breathe or move."
Only a select few boxers have successfully jumped straight from welterweight to land a middleweight world title, the last being Emile Griffith in 1966.
As such the 30-year-old Brook, despite his recent struggles to make the 147lb welterweight limit, was a huge underdog against a man who had 375 amateur contests, had never fought lower than 160lb and never been off his feet.
Golovkin came out with evil intentions, snapping Brook's head back with a couple of ramrod jabs before staggering the challenger with a couple of hurtful left hooks. However, Brook recovered well and was firing back at the end of the opening round.
Golovkin continued to stalk Brook relentlessly in the second but the challenger finished the round with the upper hand, firing left hooks and uppercuts through his rival's tight guard and working the 18,000 fans into a tremendous lather.
Brook's right eye began to close in the third but he still managed to get through with some solid combinations, the speed of which seemed to befuddle the champion.
And it was more of the same in the fourth, Golovkin marching Brook down but having to take plenty of shots in order to get off his own.
But the fifth was a more one-sided affair which started badly for Brook and escalated quickly. And with the Englishman taking shot after shot while reeling on the ropes and blood spraying everywhere, Ingle decided he had seen enough.
Canadian referee Marlon Wright initially failed to see Ingle waving the white towel but called a halt to proceedings as soon as he did. And while Brook looked dismayed at the decision, Ingle was completely justified.
Despite the outcome, Brook can be tremendously proud of his display against one of the most avoided boxers in the world and a man who has laid waste to the middleweight division since winning his first world title in 2010.
In victory, Golovkin, cemented his reputation as one of the most destructive middleweights in history, especially in the final round, when his punches bouncing off the challenger's body sounded like the beating of a bass drum.
Brook still has plenty of options. If he chooses to drop back down to 147lb, the obvious fight would be the IBF's mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr.
However, Brook might decide his future lies at 154lb instead. If Liverpool's Liam Smith successfully defends his WBO light-middleweight title against Mexico's Saul Alvarez in Texas next Saturday, Smith-Brook would make sense.
If Alvarez wins, he might finally fight Golovkin. Having defended the WBC middleweight belt against Amir Khan in May (Khan also attempted to jump straight from welterweight to middleweight but was knocked out in six rounds), Alvarez vacated the title rather than face Golovkin, to widespread criticism.
Virgin Islander Griffith dethroned Nigeria's Dick Tiger in his first fight at 160lb. Sugar Ray Leonard emerged from a three-year retirement to upset middleweight great Marvin Hagler in 1987. But Leonard, despite making his name at 147lb, had previously won a world title at light-middleweight.
Ex-world heavyweight champion David Haye on BBC 5 live:
"I was so happy Kell Brook's corner took a compassionate stance. I was in the same position once and seven fights later, I was world champion.
"Us boxers are the last people to know. You don't know when you're in there that you can't win."
The Egyptian club, who had won the title five times before but not been in a final for 14 years, were handed a 3-0 drubbing in Atteridgeville and have a veritable mountain to climb if they are to emerge as the new continental champions.
"We have to go through the dark to the light but we can do it," the 42-year-old Zamalek boss, who has only been in the job since August, said as his team headed home to prepare for next Sunday's second leg.
"They are strong and they are fast. We just have to be stronger and have to be faster and we can do this. We have the best players in Egypt. So we can do it. I hope it will be our day."
The coach, who is the fourth man in charge of Zamalek this year, blamed Saturday's defeat on bad defensive errors insisting his side were not outplayed.
"At times we made big mistakes. That I cannot live with. But I cannot blame any players. If I blame them now, I cannot play another game.
"I still have confidence in my players. They are big players and they deserve to be in the final. But we made two really big mistakes that cost us.
"I cannot understand that we committed these naïve mistakes in the final of the Champions League" Soliman said.
Soliman was full of compliments for his opposite number Pitso Mosimane, who had used his club's prerogative to change the kick off time and forced Zamalek to play in the afternoon heat rather than a night-time kick-off which is what Sundowns had preferred for all their other Champions League matches this year.
"The weather is not different to what we have in Egypt but the only thing is that we always play at night time," added Soliman.
"Mosimane is a clever coach to change the time. I admire him."
Sunday's return at the Borg El Arab Stadium will be played at 2030 local time (1830 GMT).
A formal Cardiff "city deal" submission was made ahead of the chancellor's spending review on 25 November.
The document was signed by the leaders of 10 local councils across the region.
Welsh ministers have pledged £580m and the councils £120m, while £580m from the Treasury would make for a deal worth nearly £1.3bn.
No specific projects have been identified yet, but it is expected to include better bus and train services as part of a Metro scheme.
It could also include projects covering regeneration and improving skills, road improvements and better broadband connections.
Officials from the councils, the Welsh government and the UK government will seek to identify schemes over the next few months, if the Treasury agrees to the match-funding request.
A spokesman for the Welsh government said the deal was "focused on connectivity, business support, skills and innovation" and would be "a significant step forward for regional collaboration and economic growth".
"Transport infrastructure will play a key role in this, which is why we have focused our contribution in this area," the spokesman said.
"We look forward to an early and positive response from the Treasury to enable the vision to become a reality."
Cardiff council leader Phil Bale said: "The partners welcome this positive step by Welsh government, and hope the UK government will in turn match this contribution.
"We are at an early stage of the process, but the submission has been made to try and ensure we get a commitment in the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review which will then lead to further negotiations."
City deals have become a particular favourite of George Osborne, as he looks to fund major infrastructure around the UK.
This is a way for Wales to get in on the act. The big prize here is to pull in more than half a billion pounds of extra funding.
All eyes will now be on the chancellor. The timing is clear: to pile on the pressure ahead of his spending review.
In its favour, a city deal has the big benefit of at least being a Conservative concept, even if it has been taken up by nine Labour run councils and a Labour-run Welsh government.
There are all sorts of unanswered questions, such as how the projects will be selected, but none of this will get off the ground unless there's buy in from the Treasury.
Paramilitary forces fired bullets and shotgun pellets as people protesting against Indian rule stormed polling stations near Srinagar on Sunday.
Separatist leaders had called for a boycott of the vote.
Muslim-majority Kashmir is at the centre of a decades-old territorial dispute between India and Pakistan.
India accuses Pakistan of supporting separatist sentiment in Kashmir, but Islamabad denies this. Both countries claim Kashmir in its entirety and control different parts of it.
The region has seen heightened tension and increased unrest since July last year when influential militant Burhan Wani was killed by Indian forces.
Reports said the voter turnout in Sunday's election was a mere 7% - the lowest in three decades.
Two schools were set on fire by unknown protesters, The Times of India reported.
Security was tightened on Monday across the region - roads were blocked with barricades and some train services were also suspended.
Rebel groups in Indian-administered Kashmir have for decades called for either independence or a union with Pakistan.
These groups have rejected local elections and urged voters to boycott Sunday's poll, which took place after a politician resigned over what he described as the "anti-people" agenda of the Indian government.
The Indian government deployed tight security ahead of the polling, with 20,000 additional troops sent to the area.
Internet services were also shut down in an attempt to hold a peaceful poll.
On Sunday thousands of protesters charged into polling stations in the Budgam district.
The state's chief electoral officer Shantmanu told AFP news agency that protesters damaged and snatched voting machines.
Clashes erupted when police and troops moved in and used tear gas - and later opened fire - on protesters, who fought back by pelting stones.
Mr Shantmanu told reporters later that there were more than 200 incidents of violence including petrol bomb attacks and a polling station set on fire.
Polling had to be suspended in some places, while voters generally stayed away.
Another by-election, to fill a separate parliamentary seat, is set to take place in the Anantnag district on 12 April. The results of both polls are expected on 15 April.
Farooq Abdullah, a former chief minister for Indian-administered Kashmir and a candidate for the by-election, has condemned the violence.
He told reporters: "Elections should have been peaceful. This government has failed in giving a peaceful atmosphere for people to come and vote."
The midfielder was injured by an Enzo Perez tackle after 14 minutes of the 3-2 win and left on a stretcher.
He could miss the rest of the Champions League group games and is definitely out of the match at Manchester City on 1 November.
Barca won thanks to a late Lionel Messi penalty, his second goal of the game.
Luis Enrique' side, who went top with the win, are also going to be without Iniesta's fellow Spain internationals Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba through injury for the City game.
That is the key view of the next official report on the "Trojan Horse" saga, a story about a purported plot to "Islamicise" a group of Birmingham state schools.
At the centre of this report is the Park View Educational Trust, which runs three state schools.
The document, written by Peter Clarke, a former senior counter-terrorism policeman, has been leaked to the Guardian.
It really reinforces what we knew: a small group of friends pushed some of the city's schools towards Islamic social conservatism.
That, Mr Clarke says, created an atmosphere where extremism might flourish and an us-and-them attitude to non-Muslims might emerge.
In that category, Mr Clarke found other instances of worrying incidents that were first reported on Newsnight.
Mr Clarke found messages from a chat group on the WhatsApp mobile messaging app called the "Park View Brotherhood".
Newsnight had learned that the police were seeking transcripts of these chats a few months ago. They seem to have got them.
Birmingham City Council gets a fair whacking.
According to the Guardian, Mr Clarke says: "There was never a serious attempt to see if there was a pattern to what was happening in school governing bodies.
"The council's approach has been variously described to me as appeasement and a failure in their duty of care towards their employees."
The report is also a rather unhelpful epitaph to Michael Gove's tenure at the Department for Education (DfE).
The document, commissioned by the DfE, is quite harsh on its own role as a consequence of the former education secretary's most significant reform.
He introduced the "converter academies"; schools that opt for the status are no longer funded through and supervised by their local authorities, nor do they need to follow the national curriculum and teacher pay scales.
Instead, they are independent schools in the state system, joined to the DfE.
Back in 2010, the department expected only 200 conversions a year, but around 3,000 schools have now adopted the status, enticed by more money and autonomy.
This is supposed to be a lighter touch regime.
Rather than actively supervising schools, it relies on Ofsted, tough exam performance measures and simple financial controls to keep them in line.
But, Mr Clarke suggests, maybe that's not enough.
The Guardian reports that he writes: "In theory, academies are accountable to the secretary of state, but in practice the accountability can amount to benign neglect where educational and financial performance seems to indicate everything is fine.
"This inquiry has highlighted there are potentially serious problems in some academies."
This is a widely held view of the key problem in Mr Gove's reforms, even among his friends: in his haste to increase autonomy from local authorities and national structures, Mr Gove did not build an adequate alternative supervisory architecture.
Some people think there is no need for this supervision.
Maybe that is true, but that view is hard to square with the high level of scrutiny that the DfE gives to free schools - a new academy opened from scratch.
For example, Newsnight revealed that Park View School was barred from opening a free school by one part of the DfE on security grounds.
But Park View School itself, a converter academy, was left to continue by another wing of the institution - and allowed to take over new schools.
The DfE allowed Park View to rumble on and, according to the department's own reports, invite speakers with extreme views to address pupils.
But Philip Nye, a journalist, has reported that the DfE insists an Islamic free school group must provide it with "details of all guest speakers, as well as of all donations made by the trust or its pupils".
What to make of all of this?
In a brief look back over Mr Gove's tenure, broadcast earlier this week, I suggested that his big legacy would be that England's head teachers would increase their, already high, level of autonomy.
But, I suggested, the precise institutional architecture of his reforms would not last.
I did not have this specific issue in mind, but it is one of the myriad things that can go wrong in schools that are neither recorded in league tables nor seen by inspectors.
This might mean some kind of surgery on the DfE to make it better able to perform this role.
Maybe its roles will be separated. Or, as Labour proposes, maybe there will be a new local layer of government to take on the role.
Teachers might be tired of endless reorganisations. Sorry, it isn't over yet.
Bikey has not played in English football since being released by Charlton Athletic in July 2015.
The 32-year-old joined Indian Super League side Pune City in July 2016, but failed to make a competitive appearance for the club because of injury.
He could make his Vale debut when they travel to face relegation rivals Coventry on Tuesday.
The 2008 recording adds to evidence the central bank repeatedly pressured commercial banks during the financial crisis to push their Libor rates down.
Libor is the rate that banks lend to each other and it sets a benchmark for mortgages and loans for ordinary customers.
The Bank of England said Libor was not regulated in the UK at the time.
Banks setting artificially low Libor rates is called lowballing.
The recording calls into question evidence given in 2012 to the Treasury select committee by former Barclays boss Bob Diamond and Paul Tucker, the man who went on to become the deputy governor of the Bank of England.
Libor, the London Interbank Offered Rate, tracks how much it costs banks to borrow money from each other. As such it is a big influence on the cost of mortgages and other loans.
In the recording, a senior Barclays manager, Mark Dearlove, instructs Libor submitter Peter Johnson, to lower his Libor rates.
He tells him: "The bottom line is you're going to absolutely hate this... but we've had some very serious pressure from the UK government and the Bank of England about pushing our Libors lower."
Mr Johnson objects, saying that this would mean breaking the rules for setting Libor, which required him to put in rates based only on the cost of borrowing cash.
Mr Johnson says: "So I'll push them below a realistic level of where I think I can get money?"
His boss Mr Dearlove replies: "The fact of the matter is we've got the Bank of England, all sorts of people involved in the whole thing... I am as reluctant as you are... these guys have just turned around and said just do it."
Mr Dearlove declined to answer questions from BBC Panorama.
Until recently a member of staff at each of the biggest banks, the Libor submitter, would say what interest rate they thought the bank would have to pay to borrow money. An average would be taken to arrive at Libor.
Banks have been fined more than £6bn for allowing submitters to be influenced by requests from traders or bosses to take into account the bank's commercial interests, such as trading positions.
The phone call between Mr Dearlove and Mr Johnson took place on 29 October 2008, the same day that Mr Tucker, who was at that time an executive director of the Bank of England, phoned Barclays boss Mr Diamond. Barclays' Libor rate was discussed.
Mr Diamond and Mr Tucker were called to give evidence before the Treasury select committee in 2012. Both said that they had only recently become aware of lowballing.
Panorama played the October 2008 recording to Chris Philp MP, who sits on the Treasury committee.
He told the programme: "It sounds to me like those people giving evidence, particularly Bob Diamond and Paul Tucker were misleading parliament, that is a contempt of parliament, it's a very serious matter and I think we need to urgently summon those individuals back before parliament to explain why it is they appear to have misled MPs. It's extremely serious."
Mr Diamond told the BBC: "I never misled parliament and… I stand by everything I have said previously." Mr Tucker did not respond to our questions.
Peter Johnson, the Barclays Libor submitter, was jailed last summer after pleading guilty to accepting trader requests to manipulate Libor.
Two traders who made requests for Mr Johnson to move Libors up or down, Jay Merchant and Alex Pabon, were found guilty last June of conspiracy to defraud along with another submitter, Jonathan Mathew.
However, the jury could not reach a verdict on two other traders then on trial, Ryan Reich and Stelios Contogoulas. The Serious Fraud Office requested a retrial which concluded last week. Both Mr Reich and Mr Contogoulas were unanimously acquitted.
Panorama also played Mr Contogoulas the October 2008 recording. He said he believed that if it had been played during the criminal trials it might have affected the outcomes.
He said: "That's the thing, you know in these trials that we went through they separated everything, separated trading requests and lowballing. So anything that has to do with this they don't go in. So you're asking me do I think that if all this was in would it make a difference? Probably, is the answer."
The Serious Fraud Office which brought the Barclays prosecutions told Panorama that evidence of lowballing was provided to the defence.
They also say they are still investigating lowballing and that they follow the evidence "as high as it goes and aim to charge the most senior people wherever there is a realistic prospect of conviction".
The Bank of England said: "Libor and other global benchmarks were not regulated in the UK or elsewhere during the period in question.
"Nonetheless, the Bank of England has been assisting the SFO's criminal investigations into Libor manipulation by employees at commercial banks and brokers by providing, on a voluntary basis, documents and records requested by the SFO."
Panorama: The Big Bank Fix will be broadcast on BBC One on Monday 10 April at 20.30.
The 21-year-old has joined for a reported £5m and is the first signing for new manager Mauricio Pellegrino, who replaced Claude Puel last month.
Meanwhile, England U21 central defender Jack Stephens, 23, has signed a new five-year contract.
Striker Sam Gallagher, 21, who got 11 Championship goals on loan at Blackburn last term, has signed a four-year deal.
Bednarek told the club website: "I am so happy that I could join a club like Southampton.
"This is the moment I have worked for that makes my dreams come true. I think it's a good step for me, because I have heard Southampton is such a good club for young players, so I can improve here."
Stephens began his career at Plymouth before moving to St Mary's and Southampton's vice-chairman of football Les Reed said: "His progression, and the level of his performances, was one of the real highlights of last season. We have been delighted with his development ever since he joined the club."
Regarding Gallagher he added: "The experience Sam gained last season at Blackburn was invaluable, and it was clear to see the further improvement that he made in his game during that time."

The former Welsh Guardsman was on board the RFA Sir Galahad when it came under fire in the 1982 conflict, killing 22 of his platoon.
He told the Radio Times he had "no hate for the pilot".
The ex-soldier was talking ahead of the BBC Two documentary he is presenting on the Imperial War Museums.
"Our countries were at war. Having spoken to him, he didn't know there were as many people on the ship as there were," he told the magazine.
"Unlike terrorists, this guy wore his country's uniform and he was very good at his job - he should have been, the RAF trained him."
Mr Weston said he had met the pilot since the conflict and "we remain good friends".
He described events on the day at Bluff Cove as "a catalogue of disasters".
"We shouldn't have been on the Sir Galahad when it was bombed," he added.
He said the commanding officer Lt Col John Rickett had been desperate to get his troops off the ship before it and the RFA Sir Tristram were bombed by Argentine aircraft, killing more than 50 service personnel and injuring 150.
"Things just went wrong. I have spoken to him about it a couple of times and it's hard to see a grown man you like and respect with tears in his eyes. He lost people," said Mr Weston.
"The reality was that he had no control of the situation."
But the ex-soldier, who was made a CBE last year, said he did not want to be defined by the conflict.
"People can't and shouldn't still be expressing sympathy 35 years on. It's what you do with your life after that counts," he said.
He said that when people stare at him he does not notice as much as he used to, adding: "I'm not as self-conscious about my appearance as I was. I think that's something that comes with age."

O'Sullivan made the claims against World Snooker on Sunday, accusing the body of using "threatening language".
Murphy, who will face O'Sullivan in the World Championship second round on Thursday, said he cannot live in a "world without consequences".
Four-time world champion John Higgins said he felt sympathy for O'Sullivan.
The Scot, who beat Martin Gould on Tuesday to reach the second round at the Crucible, told BBC Radio 5 live: "If I am led to believe what I have heard about how he was reprimanded, it is out of order."
O'Sullivan, 41, publicly criticised a referee and swore at a photographer after his Masters win in January, which led to World Snooker referring his comments to snooker's governing body, the WPBSA.
The WPBSA took no action but O'Sullivan was sent a letter by the organisation about his behaviour and warned he could face further sanctions, including a fine.
"To claim he has been bullied is, in my opinion, quite inaccurate," said Murphy.
"The players' contract is clear for all to see. He can say whatever he wants. No-one has muffled him. But you can't live in a world where there are no consequences; no-one lives in that world."
Speaking earlier on Monday, World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said O'Sullivan's allegations were "unfounded".
"Ronnie can say whatever he wants about whatever he wants, but he can't get away with everything he says and he isn't right about everything he says either," Murphy said.
"In my own personal opinion, I think he is completely wrong."
Murphy, the 2005 champion, survived a fine comeback from 17-year-old Chinese qualifier Yan Bingtao to win 10-8 and set up a mouth-watering match with O'Sullivan
The Englishman said he was "sure" the off-table controversy would be a distraction for his opponent.
"It's very hard to talk about lawyers and threatening the chairman and being embroiled in all of that - and focus on the snooker," he added.
"I certainly couldn't do it. I don't know how he does it, but he seems to like it; he always seems to do it. He seems to court it, like he enjoys it - so let him carry on with it with it."

Higgins said Hearn was doing "great things" with snooker but added some things in the players' contracts were "a bit over the top".
The 41-year-old said: "Ronnie does not normally come in here and be that passionate about something. I think he has a case. There are a few things in these players' contracts that lawyers would laugh at.
"We sign the contracts at the beginning of the year... it would need the top 16 or 32 players to say something. But we will never get that.
"Some players think it is OK or don't want to rock the boat. Why would we? It's a great product and Barry Hearn is doing great things but there are some points in it that are a bit over the top.
"I have a degree of sympathy for him [O'Sullivan]. He has a lot to take on his shoulders because he is the biggest name."

The England winger was convicted on Wednesday of sexual activity with the girl after admitting he groomed her.
The club should explain why Johnson was allowed to continue playing after he was charged, a women's charity said.
At a press conference manager Sam Allardyce said he was shocked and that Johnson had "let everybody down".
"My position was just what I'd heard from Adam," he told the media on Thursday. "But him changing his plea was a shock, while with the end verdict you can have nothing but sympathy for the victim."
In a previous statement, the club said had it known 28-year-old Johnson had planned to plead guilty he would have been sacked immediately.
However, during the trial, the jury was told that, before the case came to court, club bosses had seen all the 834 WhatsApp messages the pair sent to each other, along with transcripts of police interviews.
Clare Phillipson, director of charity Wearside Women in Need, said by allowing Johnson to continue playing Sunderland had made "tens of thousands of fans and lots of other people" think he was probably innocent, leaving the teenager "vilified and not believed".
"They have given a statement but I think there are questions that are just not answered in that statement, around what Johnson said in court, about what they knew and when.
"We need to consider the impact on this child of somebody, week after week, being cheered and supported while, at the same time, on social media she was being vilified by thousands of complete strangers to her."
The club has been approached for clarification on who knew what, when, and why it lifted Johnson's suspension.
Johnson was cleared of one charge of sexual activity with a child but warned he faces a "substantial prison sentence".
Ms Phillipson said Johnson had access to the girl, a Sunderland fan, as a "direct result" of working for the club and of her "idolising him as a high profile player of her club".
It was not a case of when the club knew he was going to plead guilty, but when it knew he had met her, exchanged messages and been alone with her in a car, she said.
Johnson was suspended on his arrest but this was lifted two weeks later after the football club took legal advice and carried out a safeguarding assessment, Sunderland's statement said.
Claims that the club was involved in "tactical discussions about his plea" to allow him to continue to play were "utterly without foundation" and "refuted in the strongest possible terms", the Premier League club said.
It would not be commenting further, it said.
John Cameron from the NSPCC said it "beggars belief" that Sunderland did not maintain the suspension of Johnson until the case was resolved at court.
He told BBC News: "Up and down the country there are a number of organisations where professionals work with children and, where allegations are made, it is standard practice for people to be suspended until matters are concluded.
"Here we have a young girl who had the courage to come forward, a serious victim of extensive grooming by someone who completely used their celebrity status for his own sexual gratification.
"What does this really say to a victim when they see a player like this coming out and getting support from the club? Well it clearly gives a strong message that there is significant doubt in this club's mind."
Mr Cameron also said footballers had a "responsibility" to ensure they conduct themselves "appropriately" and, if they used their position to abuse others they would be held to account.
State media said rebels had handed over 12 women and children and seven bodies. At the same time 19 rebels were freed.
It is the first stage of an agreement that should lead to thousands of people leaving rebel-held Madaya and Zabadani and pro-government Foah and Kefraya.
Residents of the first two towns said buses began arriving on Wednesday.
But a government co-ordinator for the deal told AFP news agency that rebels were "delaying" buses trying to reach Foah and Kefraya, and stressed the evacuations would have to be simultaneous.
The UN has described the situation in the four towns as "catastrophic", with more than 60,000 civilians "trapped in a cycle of daily violence and deprivation".
Many people are reported to have died as a result of shortages of food or medicine.
Foah and Kefraya, most of whose residents are Shia Muslims, have been encircled by rebels and al-Qaeda-linked Sunni jihadists since March 2015.
Madaya and Zabadani, which are predominantly Sunni, have been besieged since June 2015 by the Syrian army and fighters from Lebanon's Shia Islamist Hezbollah movement.
As part of what is known as the "Four Towns Agreement", the warring parties have allowed the UN and Red Cross to deliver aid on a few occasions in the past two years and to evacuate limited numbers of sick and injured people.
Those who want to be evacuated from Foah and Kefraya will reportedly be transported to government-controlled areas of Damascus, while Madaya and Zabadani residents will be taken to rebel-held areas around the city of Idlib and the town of Jarablus if they wish to leave.
The agreement also reportedly includes the entry of humanitarian assistance and a nine-month pause in fighting covering the four towns and southern parts of Damascus and its countryside.
Two weeks ago, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned that any evacuation of civilians had to be "safe, voluntary, and to a place of their choosing".
"It is imperative that all those who are displaced through such agreements are allowed to return voluntarily, in safety and in dignity, to their homes as soon as the situation allows," a spokesman said.
A recent report by UN commission of inquiry concluded that last December's evacuation of people from parts of the northern city of Aleppo that were previously held by rebel forces had amounted to the "war crime of forced displacement".
Some 4.7 million people were living in hard-to-reach and besieged areas in Syria as of January, including 644,000 in UN-declared besieged locations.
North Wales Police said it happened in the early hours of Saturday morning in Holywell.
The man is currently in police custody after officers temporarily warned the public to stay away from Bryn Mawr Road.
North Wales Police appealed for witnesses to the incident.
The former world heavyweight champion graphically described injuries he hoped to inflict on Bellew in the run-up to March's stoppage defeat by his rival.
Haye, 36, admitted his comments brought boxing into disrepute.
The board believes that Bellew's behaviour improved after both fighters were warned days before the bout.
The BBBofC condemned both boxers' behaviour during a heated news conference in Liverpool and a media event in London.
According to records on the BBBofC website, Haye made a donation and apologised for his behaviour to the Southern Area Council at a meeting three days before the bout.
WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew, 34, was given a four-month suspended suspension by the board in December as a result of his ringside behaviour when he called Haye out following victory over BJ Flores in October.
Further misdemeanours could have seen his licence withdrawn before the meeting with Haye.
Following his defeat, Haye said that he expected to be fined for his pre-fight comments. He intends on returning to the ring after recovering from Achilles surgery.
"Some of the comments went too far. If I have to pay a fine, I'll happily pay and take whatever punishment I need to," he said.
The interchange is aimed at making it easier for residents, visitors and holidaymakers, by centralising all travel services in one place.
More than 300,000 people use 10 Tenby bus services every year, while National Express and coach trips will also arrive and leave from the site.
It has taken three years to complete the interchange, with Pembrokeshire council and Welsh government funding.
Ian McDiarmid plays the late politician in What Shadows, which examines his infamous anti-immigration Rivers of Blood speech from 1968.
The Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish wrote that it was "chilling" to hear his sentiments again "as if newly minted".
The Birmingham Repertory Theatre should be "applauded for opening the floodgates to serious debate", he said.
"Does this re-enactment... rank as the most provocative theatrical act of the decade? I'd say so," Cavendish wrote in his four-star review.
"Given the current, high levels of concern about immigration and how long a shadow that speech has cast, [this was] a depressingly necessary evening."
The production is partly set in 1992 and sees Caribbean immigrant Rose Cruickshank confront the MP about his views.
The play also flashes back to 1960s to see the influences that shaped the two main characters.
Ann Treneman of The Times also gave the show four stars, adding that McDiarmid "gives a standout performance".
"This play does not mince words," she wrote. "Some are offensive, yet [writer] Chris Hannan isn't interested in political correctness but in getting to the core of a story.
"Not just about Powell but of England - what does it mean to be English and who exactly are we anyway?"
The Financial Times described the play as "compelling" in its four-star review, while The Stage said the production was "timely and intelligent".
Michael Billington gave the production a slightly less warm review in The Guardian, awarding it three stars.
"While Hannan makes it clear that we are still obsessed with immigration and the nature of Englishness, his play is much better at exploring the paradoxes of Powell than those of the surrounding culture," he wrote.
Referring to the two main characters, he added: "Powell, whatever you think of him, is complex. His principal antagonist, Rose, is simply confusing."
WhatsOnStage also gave the show three stars. "Hannan brings history back to life: a black and white photo recoloured. It sheds light on the present," wrote Matt Trueman.
"Hannan's structure sets up eloquent and forceful head-to-heads, but in giving space to vital debates, each strand gives up its narrative drive."

The root, hatha jodhi, is believed to bring good luck and happiness as it resembles two hands joined in prayer.
A statement from World Animal Protection said Indian wildlife authorities had conducted raids in several states and seized samples.
The fake "roots" are being sold online.
Customers largely seem to be the Asian diaspora in the UK, other parts of Europe and the US, the statement said.
A recent raid in the eastern Indian state of Orissa saw the seizure of dried hemipenis from Bengal and Yellow Monitor lizards from a house in the city of Bhubaneswar, the statement added.
An Indian member of the investigating team said the illegal trade was of major concern for the continued survival of the lizard species involved, as both Bengal and Yellow Monitor lizards are protected under Indian and international law.
Citizens Advice said people aged 17 to 24 asked for advice on 102,296 debt issues in the last year, a 21% rise on the previous year.
It said young people were seeing falling debt carried on credit cards.
It suggested youngsters were moving to "formal loans" instead, creating more problems than student loans.
"A new generation of young people are starting out with stifling levels of debt," said Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice.
"Many young people already face challenges getting on the career and housing ladders - doing this while saddled with huge unsecured debts make it an uphill struggle.
"As well as looking for a longer term solutions, it is important people can get independent advice, guidance and support about how they can manage their finances."
"We are renting and we have one three-year-old son and another baby on the way. My partner is on an apprenticeship so the wages are lower than the minimum wage.
"I was going to start a job in September but have had quite a complicated pregnancy and was advised by doctors not to work.
"We are living off part income and certain benefits and loaning money from my partner's parents every month. We've never been in debt before.
"But we owe council tax of more than £200 which we just can't think about at the moment, as we need to eat and keep warm.
"The council say they have worked out we can afford to pay £25 a month, but we are paying £5 at the moment as they had not taken into consideration rent, bills and shopping.
"We sometimes run out of electricity and use candles as lights.
"I really need a winter coat, but can't afford one, we can only really buy essentials for our son."

The charity analysed the type of debts faced by young people, using the latest available official figures - which covered detailed debt data up to 2012.
It found that 45% of the rise in debts was attributed to student loans.
The average debt in "formal" bank or payday loans among this age group rose from £969 to £4,577 between 2006 and 2012. Loans from family and friends rose from £30 on average to £1,000 over the same period.
Outstanding credit card balances, over the same period, fell from £332 to £234, owing to stricter lending criteria. This had previously been one of the biggest issues faced by those coming to Citizens Advice.
Overall, the charity said young people had an average unsecured debt of £12,215 in 2012 - more than three times the £3,988 typically owed among this age group before the financial crisis.
Debt was the equivalent of 70% of income among 17 to 24-year-olds in 2012, compared with 34% for 25 to 29-year-olds and 11% of 60 to 64-year-olds, the charity said.
Joanna Elson chief executive of the Money Advice Trust, the charity that runs National Debtline, said: "We are facing the very real risk that debt becomes the norm for young people. While many will go on to earn enough to help them manage this early borrowing, many will not and this could have serious consequences for their futures.
"The more young people borrow as they set out in adult life, the harder it will be to start saving for the future and afford the homes and lifestyles that they rightly aspire to."
Peter Tutton, head of policy at the StepChange debt charity, said: "We repeat our call on the government to introduce a new extended breathing space scheme, in which statutory protections are extended to people with temporary financial difficulties.
"Guaranteed freezes on interest and charges and a halt on enforcement action would help people to get back on their feet without falling further into debt."
Figures from the British Bankers' Association, published on Thursday, showed that demand for personal loans has been rising and has expanded over the past two years.
Wheeler struck in the 81st and 85th minutes to move his side away from the League Two relegation zone and leave the Robins deep in trouble.
Cheltenham were the better side in the first half, with Amari Morgan-Smith hitting the post with a shot and Harry Pell seeing his effort crash against the bar.
But Exeter kept them out and took the lead 10 minutes after the break when Lee Holmes curled a shot into the top-left corner.
Cheltenham responded well and levelled through Billy Waters' ninth goal of the season in the 70th minute following a long ball forward from Aaron Downes.
But Wheeler stabbed in from close range after Troy Brown's pull back at the far post to make it 2-1 to Exeter.
And Wheeler was in the right place to follow in after Russell Griffiths parried substitute Liam McAlinden's low shot with five minutes remaining to put the result beyond all doubt.

So how did the 43-year-old reach this point in his political career?
A free thinker, who led the campaign to unseat Commons Speaker Michael Martin in the last Parliament, Mr Carswell has never hidden his disdain for the "job for life" culture among some MPs in safe seats and the "cosy cliques" that dominate decision-making in government.
Most newly-elected MPs put their head down and get on with the job of climbing Westminster's greasy pole.
But the Clacton MP, who entered the Commons in 2005, refused to play the game from the start, speaking openly of his "revulsion" at the system and how, frankly, he was embarrassed to be an MP.
In his book, The Plan, co-authored with Tory MEP Daniel Hannan, he set out 28 steps to "renew our broken democracy" and "get our supine, spineless Parliament off its knees".
He had high hopes that David Cameron, whom he backed in the 2005 Tory leadership contest, would push through some of their proposed reforms - such as open primaries, where all voters in a constituency get to choose party candidates, and giving voters the power to recall their MP if they are doing a bad job.
But in February this year he was, along with other maverick backbench Tories, bitterly disappointed to see plans for recall powers dropped by the coalition.
He told BBC News: "This government could have been different, but I think this marks the moment at which it becomes just another administration."
This - together with his belief that the Conservatives were not truly committed to changing Britain's relationship with the EU - undoubtedly fed into his decision to jump ship to UKIP.
Mr Carswell has long agitated for a referendum on whether Britain should remain in the EU - an institution he views as being profoundly undemocratic and lacking in accountability.
He is an ardent believer in the power of the internet to revolutionise the way we are governed - by smashing open closed institutions such as the EU and handing direct democratic control to the public. He set out some of these ideas in his 2012 book, The End of Politics and the Birth of iDemocracy.
In December 2009, he introduced a bill before the House of Commons requesting a public referendum on the UK's EU membership.
And in his first week after being re-elected at the 2010 general election, he revealed he intended to force a referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon.
Among his rebellions, Mr Carswell tabled an amendment expressing concern over the increase in the EU budget in October 2010.
Born in 1971, Mr Carswell spent his early years living in Uganda, where his parents worked as doctors in a local hospital.
He was educated at the University of East Anglia and King's College London, and worked in digital television, investment management and the Conservative Party policy unit - run by David Cameron - before becoming an MP.
He is married to Clementine and has a daughter. In his spare time, he has said he enjoys swimming, running, gardening as well as making quince jelly.
Mr Carswell reportedly owns a £655 love seat in deep moss brushed cotton while his father was the inspiration for James McAvoy's character in the Last King Of Scotland, the British doctor who went to work in Uganda and found himself working for Idi Amin.
Mr Carswell first stood for Parliament in 2001, taking on Tony Blair as the Tory candidate for Sedgefield. Despite apologising for coming second he still managed to cut Mr Blair's majority by more than 7,500 votes.
In 2005 he was elected as MP for Harwich, defeating Labour's candidate by just 920 votes. By 2010 he defeated the same opponent by 12,000 votes - although boundary changes had seen the seat renamed Clacton.
During that contest UKIP did not field a candidate, supporting what they saw as the re-election of a kindred spirit.
Mr Carswell went on to gain a reputation as an outspoken Tory moderniser, influencing initiatives such as David Cameron's Big Society and campaigning for the reform of parliamentary expenses following the 2009 scandal.
He once told the BBC he was attracted to politics because "our democracy is being undermined, with remote and unaccountable elites making the key decisions that affect our lives".
Adding to his other accolades, the MP revealed on Twitter in January that he had brought down a suspected shoplifter in his constituency.
"You probably don't want to hear this, but I'm your local MP," he reportedly told the individual.
Mr Carswell's bold announcement may not have been out of character, but he said the decision to leave the Conservative Party has given him sleepless nights.
He has vowed to fight on for "fundamental change in British politics" - something he now believes only UKIP can deliver.
In the by-election on 9 October, Mr Carswell won 60% of the total number of votes cast, and secured a majority of 12,404.
Addressing local voters after his victory, he said: "I resigned from parliament to face this election because I answer first, foremost and last to you. You are my boss. I will not let you down."
"To my new party I offer these thoughts: humility when we win, modesty when we are proved right. If we speak with passion, let it always be tempered by compassion."
Demand from house hunters rose sharply in May as buyers made viewings after the election, the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) said.
The view follows comments from the British Bankers' Association that the UK housing market is "hotting up".
The possibility of a rise in interest rates at the turn of the year has driven demand for mortgages, they say.
The rise in demand must prompt an acceleration in building, the NAEA's managing director, Mark Hayward, said.
"The growing gap between supply and demand is worrying and clearly demonstrates that more needs to be done to plug this," he said.
"The election was full of promises to build more houses, but now those promises need to be put into bricks and mortar to respond to demand."
House seekers and homeowners are being urged to budget for changes in interest rates, which would see many mortgage costs rise.
Joanna Elson, chief executive of the Money Advice Trust, the charity that runs National Debtline, said: "There is a real risk that after more than six years of record low interest rates, many mortgage payers are still living in a false sense of security.
"The reality is that they may have a very short window in which to prepare for coming hikes in interest rates."
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said it believed the faulty Indesit appliance was the cause of the blaze in Shepherd's Bush in August.
The LFB said parent company Whirlpool should change its advice to customers so that any dryers waiting to be modified are not used.
Whirlpool said the safety of consumers "is our number one priority".
The blaze engulfed part of the 18-storey high rise block and took 120 firefighters to bring under control. No on was injured.
Dave Brown, director of operations at LFB, said: "This fire has highlighted just how dangerous faulty white goods can be.
"Disappointingly though, Whirlpool have still not changed their advice to consumers."
A Whirlpool spokesman said: "While we understand that LFB has concluded its investigation into the incident, Whirlpool's independent forensic investigations are still ongoing and in the circumstances, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
"The safety of consumers is our number one priority and we are committed to doing everything we can to ensure that the tumble dryer modification programme is carried out in a safe and timely manner."
Consumer Minister Margot James said: "Customer safety must be the number one priority for manufacturers.
"I acknowledge that Whirlpool are making great efforts to modify and replace at-risk machines, but I believe additional action is required to reassure customers and the public.
"I will be writing to the company to set out my concerns and expectations."
The woman in her 20s, named locally as Kerri McAuley, was found at Southalls Way near Mousehold Heath at about 22:40 GMT on Sunday, Norfolk Police said.
The detained man, also in his 20s, is being held in police custody ahead of questioning.
The property is sealed off while officers carry out forensic examinations.
Det Ch Insp Pete Hornby said the force was "working to establish the sequence of events which led to this woman's death" and called for anyone with information to make contact.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place later.
The killer has been identified as Mevlut Mert Altintas, 22, a member of the Ankara riot police. It was not clear if he had links to any group.
The incident happened a day after protests in Turkey over Russian support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Turkey's president said the attack was aimed at hurting ties with Russia.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone and, in a video message, said that they both agreed it was an act of "provocation".
He said that those who wanted to harm relations between the two countries "would not achieve it".
In televised remarks, Mr Putin said the act was "undoubtedly a provocation aimed at disrupting the normalisation" of bilateral ties and the "peace process in Syria".
A group of Russian investigators will arrive in Turkey to look into the case, Mr Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
The UN Security Council strongly condemned ambassador Andrei Karlov's murder, while Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was appalled by "this senseless act of terror".
While there were protests in recent days about the situation in Aleppo, on a political level the Turkish and Russian governments have been co-operating in the ceasefire operation, the BBC's Turkey correspondent, Mark Lowen, reports.
Before the attack happened, a meeting of the Russian, Turkish and Iranian foreign ministers had been planned for Tuesday in Moscow.
But now it seems the political fight over Syria's future has spilled over into public hatred, our correspondent says.
The attack was swiftly condemned by other countries:
The movement of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen has also condemned the attack and rejected any links to the attacker, according to an adviser quoted by Reuters news agency. Turkish officials blame the movement for July's failed coup aimed against Mr Erdogan.
Several hours after Mr Karlov was killed, a man was arrested for firing a pump-action shotgun in front of the US embassy in Ankara. The state-run Anadolu press agency said he fired around eight shots into the air early on Tuesday. No-one was hurt.
The US missions in Ankara, Istanbul and Adana will remain closed on Tuesday.
The ambassador had been attending a photo exhibition called "Russia as seen by Turks".
Video of the event shows Karlov making a speech when gunshots ring out. Eight bullets are said to have been fired.
The camera pulls back to show a smartly dressed gunman, wearing a suit and tie, waving a pistol and shouting in Arabic and Turkish.
He can be heard yelling "don't forget about Aleppo, don't forget about Syria" and uses the Arabic phrase "Allahu Akbar" (God is great). He is said to have died in a shootout with police soon afterwards, but details have not been given.
Karlov was rushed to hospital but his death was later confirmed by the Russian foreign ministry.
Karlov, 62, was a veteran diplomat who had served as Soviet ambassador to North Korea for much of the 1980s.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, he had a posting as Russian ambassador to South Korea before returning to the North for five years in 2001.
Taking up the Ankara posting in July 2013, he had to grapple with a major diplomatic crisis last year when a Turkish plane shot down a Russian jet close to the Syrian border.
Demanding a Turkish apology, Moscow imposed damaging sanctions - notably a freeze on charter flights by Russian tourists - and the two countries only recently mended ties.
Condemning the attack as an act of "terrorism", Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Turkey had given assurances that there would be a comprehensive investigation, and those responsible would be punished.
"The memory of this outstanding Russian diplomat, a man who did so much to counter terrorism... will remain in our hearts forever," Ms Zakharova said.

Thomas Sinclair, 37, pleaded guilty to breaching the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 when he appeared at Llanelli Magistrates' Court.
He named a youth in a court report in the Pembrokeshire Herald earlier this year.
Speaking after the case, Mr Sinclair said his newspaper had to "push the boundaries on what can be reported".
Mathew Paul, defending, said the youth in question was only a matter of weeks from his 18th birthday and that the Port of Milford Haven was also guilty of breaching the act for publishing the place of the youth's work in a press release.
Judge Neil Thomas told Mr Sinclair the whole point of the youth court was to ensure young people could be dealt with privately, and that it was no mitigation to say that others had offended.
Speaking in a Pembrokeshire Herald article after the case, Mr Sinclair, of Milford Haven, said: "I fully respect that reporting restrictions are in place to protect the vulnerable, but this is not one of those cases.
"The decision by the CPS to bring this case to court genuinely baffled me."
He added: "We have to, as a newspaper push the boundaries on what can be reported, a free and fair press is the cornerstone of democracy.
"£500 is a small price to pay for the truth."

It was reported in January that dipping cells in acid could cheaply and quickly convert them into stem cells.
Questions were raised about the images used in the scientific report and other research groups have failed to reproduce the results.
The interim report has not found any evidence of research misconduct.
Stem cells can become any other type of tissue and are already being investigated to heal the damage caused by a heart attack and to restore sight to the blind.
The original study, published in the journal Nature, became a huge story globally and was described as "remarkable" and a "major scientific discovery".
It offered a cheap and ethical source of stem cells that could have helped make them a practical treatment rather than a researcher's dream.
But significant doubts have emerged.
One centres on the use of images in the scientific report by the team at the Riken Centre for Developmental Biology.
They were similar to images from previous research by one of the scientists involved, Dr Haruko Obokata, which did not use the acid-bath technique.
Meanwhile, teams around the world have failed to produce stem cells using the reported technique.
A review by Prof Kenneth Ka-Ho Lee, at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, published on ResearchGate, concluded: "The ease and simplicity of their method for generating STAP cells [the name given to stem cells produced by this method] from various stressors and cell types have left the readers in doubt.
"We have tried our very best to generate STAP cells using their protocol and it appears that it is not as simple and reproducible as we expected.
"So whether the techniques really works still remains an open question."
Riken launched an investigation and the first findings are now being reported.
It has found that some images had been "inadvertently" left in the report and there was "no malice" intended.
However, a conclusion has not yet been reached on allegations that part of the methodology had been copied from another scientific paper or that images in the paper resemble those from Dr Obokata's previous research.
In a statement, the president of Riken, Prof Ryoji Noyori, said: "I would like, first and foremost, to express my deepest regrets that articles published in Nature by Riken scientists are bringing into question the credibility of the scientific community.
"It is extremely regrettable that significant discrepancies have been found to have been generated in the process of preparing the Nature articles for publication.
"We are investigating these discrepancies, with the understanding that it may become necessary to demand the withdrawal of the articles."
This week, a member of the research group called for the findings to be withdrawn as it was no longer clear what was right.
Prof Teruhiko Wakayama, of the University of Yamanashi, told Japanese TV: "When conducting the experiment, I believed it was absolutely right.
"But now that many mistakes have emerged, I think it is best to withdraw the research paper once and, using correct data and correct pictures, to prove once again the paper is right.
"If it turns out to be wrong, we would need to make it clear why a thing like this happened."

The 34-year-old from Leeds will not be part of the Great Britain squad for the build-up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and will instead make her professional debut on 8 April in Manchester.
Adams, who has signed with promoter Frank Warren, will fight in her home city on 13 May.
She said: "My hero was Muhammad Ali. I said after watching him I wanted to box at the Olympics and turn pro."
In signing with Warren, Adams said she has found "a team that believes in my dream".
She added: "Together we can help take women's boxing to new levels and I can't wait to get to get in the ring in April and start working towards becoming a world champion."
Warren's association with Adams comes three months after Ireland's London 2012 Olympic lightweight champion Katie Taylor began fighting professionally under Eddie Hearn's promotion.
Warren, 64, has previously said he was not an advocate of female professional boxing.
"I am eating humble pie," said Warren. "My head has been turned by the fantastic achievements of this young lady.
"Of all of all the signings I have made in my 35 years in the sport of boxing, this is among the most I have been excited about.
"I think Nicola will be challenging for world titles within a year. We intend to lead her to become a multiple world champion."
GB Boxing said they would have welcomed Adams staying on in the system to complete a hat-trick of Olympic wins in Tokyo.
Adams - who became the first woman to box for England in 2001 - joined the Great Britain squad in 2010. In beating China's Ren Cancan to win flyweight gold at London 2012, she became the first Olympic women's boxing champion.
She also won gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, 2015 European Games and 2016 World Championships, before retaining her Olympic title by beating France's Sarah Ourahmoune in Rio.
The second Olympic title made her the first British boxer to retain gold in 92 years.
GB Boxing performance director Rob McCracken said: "Nicola has won everything there is to win and her place in history is secured as the first woman to ever win a gold medal for boxing and then top it by winning a second one in Rio."
Adams, who was appointed an MBE in 2013 and an OBE in 2016, will continue to compete at flyweight.
But in leaving the GB Boxing training centre in Sheffield, she will have to find her own training venue and support staff, as well as adjusting to competing without a headguard.
"I think it's going to be quite different," added Adams. "I'm excited about that, to have my own team and know that we all have the same goal."
Adams is the third high-profile amateur to turn professional in the past six months, following Taylor and American fighter Claressa Shields, who won Olympic middleweight gold at London 2012 aged 17 and retained her title in Rio.
David Blanchflower was on the MPC in 2009 when quantitative easing was first introduced and rates were cut to 0.5%.
Now he says growth in Britain is still very weak and the global economy "feels a little bit like 2008."
The next rates move would be down not up as many expect, he added.
Professor Blanchflower served on the MPC - which sets UK interest rates - at the height of the financial crisis, between 2006 and June 2009.
In that time the Bank Rate was cut from 5.75% in 2007 to 0.5% and Quantitative easing (QE) was introduced for the first time in the history of Bank of England.
Professor Blanchflower described the backdrop to the committee's decision in March 2009 to cut rates to 0.5% as catastrophic. He said the MPC at the time had wished to avoid a death spiral.
Britain was plunged into its deepest-ever recession in 2008 as confidence in banks collapsed and investment dried up.
"We cut rates in November 2008 by 150 basis points (1.5%). It was clear that we should have cut by more but didn't because of the panic that it might have caused," he said.
"It was absolutely clear that this (the financial crisis) was something we had not seen in a generation. We learned that the scale of the shock was enormous."
Research from the pension advisers Hargreaves Lansdown suggests average mortgage rates are 31% lower than before the crisis, while savers may have lost £106bn due to record low rates.
Last month, the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, told MPs on the Treasury Select Committee that interest rates were more likely than not to increase.
He added, though, "if risks were to materialise, if the goal of a situation were to intensify to the downside, that would have implications for the path of policy."
A Bank of England spokesman said: "The Monetary Policy Committee responsible for setting interest rates will do the right thing at the right time on rates and base any future decision on the factual data."
The Treasury declined to comment.
Ms Park is accused of allowing her friend, Choi Soon-sil, to manipulate power from behind the scenes.
The president has apologised twice, but has so far resisted calls to resign.
Organisers said 1.5 million were in Seoul, and another 400,000 in other regions of the country. Police put the turnout in the capital at 270,000.
About 25,000 officers were deployed in Seoul but there were no reports of violence.
The protests, which began five weeks ago, were the largest in South Korea since pro-democracy demonstrations of the 1980s.
Those attending on Saturday came from a cross-section of South Korean society, with farmers, Buddhist monks and university students all involved.
"I was watching the news and thought this cannot go on - people really want her to step down but she hasn't," one of the protesters, Kwak Bo-youn, told Reuters.
"This is the second time for me to the protests, but the first time for my husband and kids."
Ms Park, whose approval rating has dropped to 5%, apologised earlier this month for putting "too much faith in a personal relationship", and has pledged to co-operate in an official investigation into the scandal.
South Korea's constitution does not allow a sitting president to be prosecuted, and Ms Park has 15 months left in her term.
But now that prosecutors have directly linked her to the scandal, it is possible she could be impeached for breaking the law.
Prosecutors are expected to bring charges against Ms Choi, along with two former presidential aides. She was arrested earlier this month.
Ms Choi is accused of trying to extort huge sums of money from South Korean companies, and suspected of using her friendship with Ms Park to solicit business donations for a non-profit fund she controlled.
Plaid natural resources spokesman Simon Thomas said the Welsh Government could benefit from UK subsidies if tidal energy was a success.
Plans for the £1.3bn Swansea Bay project have been backed by a UK government review by Charles Hendry.
The UK government still needs to agree on a deal.
A marine licence would also need to be approved.
Ahead of a debate on the tidal lagoon in the Senedd on Tuesday, Mr Thomas said that he would like to see ministers consider an investment of around the £52m cost of Cardiff Airport, purchased by Welsh ministers in 2013.
"If Hendry is accepted by the UK government then the actual project is deliverable," he said.
"It doesn't need money. The Welsh Government doesn't have to take this investment.
But he said: "If this then becomes a technology that Wales is going to specialise in, and we're going to see further tidal lagoons, then the Welsh Government will actually benefit from a UK subsidy."
"Because what they'll be doing is agreeing a price for electricity for 30 years.
"Anyone who invested in that company will benefit from that," he said.
"It's a good deal that the government should consider."
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "The Hendry reviews findings presents Wales with significant potential opportunities and challenges.
"We are considering the content of the report and look forward to discussions with UK government on taking the findings forward."
The former Labour spin doctor has published a blog after the claims were highlighted on Twitter by Respect MP George Galloway and reported in the Ham and High newspaper.
Mr Campbell says the man spat at and abused him in an "unprovoked attack".
Mr Galloway was promoting "propaganda", he said.
The Ham and High has published limited CCTV images of the incident.
Mr Campbell, who is advising Labour leader Ed Miliband in the run-up to the general election, was walking back from a run in Hampstead on Monday.
He says on his blog: "A man walking towards me began shouting in abusive and aggressive terms as he approached. As I passed him I did not look at him, did not respond to his insults and put my my arm out to his shoulder to stop him coming any closer.
"If there was any contact at all it was minimal. I walked on a few steps, thought he was doing the same but he turned back, followed me, continued to abuse me and when I turned around he came towards me and aimed a kick at me which came into brief contact with my leg.
"He then moved back but came forward again and spat at me, most of the spit landing on my shirt, some on my face. I then turned and walked away."
The 61-year-old man, who has not been named, told the Ham and High: "I saw Campbell coming towards me and I made a remark. As he came past me, I said, 'The biggest piece of **** I've ever seen in this street.'
"He then struck out and hit me on my left shoulder. I turned to confront him and said, 'That is assault, you should be in prison, not running around the streets of London.'
"At which point spitting ensued and then I aimed a blow with my foot that did not connect. Nothing that I did was illegal and he had no right to punch me."
The 61-year-old reported the incident to George Galloway, the Respect MP for Bradford West, who tweeted: "Blair's pugnacious former attack dog Alastair Campbell heading for deep doodoo. All will be exclusively revealed here. Watch this space...!" and "Blair's poodle Ali Campbell involved in street spat with elderly man in Hampstead. Did he hit him? Exclusive film here shortly"
Mr Galloway followed up the tweets with another linking to the Ham and High's footage of the incident.
Mr Campbell has questioned why the man did not take his claims to the police.
"'Though I am used to robust debate, including in public, this is the first time I have been attacked in a public place like this and the first time I have been spat at. We have lived in Gospel Oak, happily and as active members of the local community, for decades and it has always felt a safe and friendly place for me and my family."
"This has become a 'story' purely because of an inaccurate Galloway tweet, via someone who does not wish to be identified, via a partial piece of CCTV which has neither the initial provocation nor the subsequent assault.".
Dom Manfredi's late try enabled Wigan overcome Salford 20-16 on Thursday, their third league victory so far.
They are top of the table and the the only side with a perfect record to start the campaign.
"Another ugly win and I thought we didn't play well," 51-year-old Wane told BBC Radio Manchester.
"There were too many errors and our skill was off, but one thing my team has got is a lot of toughness in them and they're finding a way to win.
"I think we would've lost that game last year. After the World Club Challenge in 2015 we went to Hull KR and got butchered."
Wigan's only defeat this season came when Australian National Rugby League side Brisbane Broncos beat them 42-12 in the World Club Series.
"We did a lot of things for good periods against Salford, but at critical times in the last third of the pitch we just had poor skill and didn't finish our sets off," Wane added.
"We you consider everything we need to be happy with three out of three but we know we can improve - we've got three wins but we've not played well yet so I'm sure a team is going to get it soon."
Some of the archive, charting the 100-year-history of the Erskine Hospital, was recently found in a locked room in a disused part of the hospital.
The hospital was formerly known as the Princess Louise Scottish Hospital for Sailors and Soldiers.
Woodworking tools used to make prosthetic limbs are among the archive.
The tools were used by some of the recovering soldiers as part of their rehabilitation and training in new skills.
They made a wide range of wooden medical appliances for disabled soldiers, including the then pioneering Erskine Leg - a prosthetic limb designed and pioneered by Sir William Macewen, co-founder of the hospital and Regius Professor of Surgery at the University of Glasgow.
Sir William's work led to a global advancement in prosthetic limbs.
The archive contains a full collection of wooden shoe-size moulds used in the workshops for the manufacture of prosthetic legs.
It is not known how long the objects and archive material had been stored in the building, but some items date back to the original founding of the hospital which celebrates its centenary next year.
Additional records and documents were kept in boxes in various rooms throughout the hospital.
The collection will now be catalogued by Glasgow University's Archives Services and stored at the university.
Erskine are currently working on a patient database of every soldier admitted and discharged at the hospital during its history, which will become a research resource for families tracing their ancestry.
The project has been funded by the Wellcome Trust which awards grants to libraries and archives to support cataloguing, preservation and digitisation projects.
Steve Conway, chief Executive of The Erskine, said: "Archiving records and preserving artefacts was never high on the priority list until we started to prepare for our centenary. It was only then that we realised how much of our history had been recorded but largely neglected.
"Hopefully, these records and artefacts will help people to research family histories and also support research in to the care of veterans with physical or mental injuries sustained in the service of their country."
Dr Tony Pollard, senior lecturer in history and battlefield archaeology at Glasgow University, said: "What we are unearthing at Erskine is quite remarkable.
"There are boxes upon boxes of wartime history which will shine a light on so many personal stories of bravery and endurance during the First World War, but also the incredible advancement in the treatment of injured personnel not just physically but mentally since 1916.
"This archive will not only chart the hospital's history but also provide an insight into the many medical developments over the last century, methods which helped change care practices towards casualties of war around the globe.
"I am quite certain once we really start to delve into the vast collection, the findings will be used in research for many years to come."
The archive team is appealing for help to find an original Erskine Leg.
Only one known Macewen-designed Erskine Leg survives in the British Museum, but archivists and historians at the University of Glasgow are convinced there are more.

Cheika said Cole had been "infringing the law since his career started probably, if not all of this year".
But hooker Hartley told BBC Radio 5 live: "You don't stumble across 60-odd caps scrummaging illegally.
"The directives we get back from the refs always say that England have a good, clean scrummage."
Hartley added: "I play against Cole a couple of times a year and it's always very difficult against him. He's a rock, like every tight-head should be.
"There's plenty for us to work on and we're looking for that complete scrummaging performance this weekend because this team is underpinned by a dominant set-piece and that's what we want to provide."

England's victory over Argentina last weekend was their 13th in a row and their 12th under head coach Eddie Jones - and a win over Australia in the final autumn international would equal their longest winning run, set across 2002 and 2003.
Cheika and his former Randwick team-mate Jones have exchanged frank views this week.
Jones, who led his native Australia to the 2003 World Cup final defeat by England has accused the Wallabies of "illegalities" in the set-piece, and said they "can't scrummage".
Cheika claimed Jones has "always operated with a chip on his shoulder" and tarnished his legacy with comments made in the summer when England completed a 3-0 series win in Australia in June, becoming the first touring side to secure a whitewash down under since South Africa in 1971.
The HMS Dragon diverted 500 miles to reach the 13 Britons and one American after the mast and rudder had broken off their racing yacht.
The 60ft (18m) Clyde Challenger yacht had been travelling to the UK from the Azores when it was damaged in stormy conditions on Thursday.
The navy's Type 45 Destroyer rescued the crew at 14:30 GMT on Saturday.
The Clyde Challenger was 610 miles south-west of Land's End when HMS Dragon arrived on Saturday.
Chemical tanker CPO Finland, aided by RAF and US Air Force planes, had tried to rescue the Clyde Challenger's crew three times, but failed due to bad weather.
Petty officer Max Grosse, of HMS Dragon, said: "Despite racing through the night, we only had three hours of daylight remaining in which to safely remove the crew.
"The prevailing weather conditions and notorious Atlantic swell made it enormously challenging though and really tested the skills of my experienced sea boat coxswains."
The yacht, which is normally berthed in the Clyde Estuary, was designed to compete in the Clipper Round The World yacht race and had been used for corporate, private and charity charters, according to its website.
Its owner, Lewis Learning Ltd, said that the yacht could not be recovered, and that the crew of the Clyde Challenger would arrive onshore on Tuesday.
It extended "huge thanks" to all those involved in "organising and executing the safe transfer of the crew".
It has ordered that the country's Hindu marriage act should be altered to allow irretrievable breakdown of marriage as grounds for divorce.
Up until now, a divorce would in most cases be granted by the courts only if there were mutual consent.
Correspondents say that marriage breakdowns are becoming more common and India's divorce rate is increasing.
Minister of information Ambika Soni said that the proposed change in the law would help an estranged partner get a divorce "if any party does not come to court or wilfully avoids the court".
Last year the Supreme Court said the judiciary should strive to keep married people together, but it also ruled that couples who had completely split should not be denied a divorce.
The latest proposed amendment, passed by a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, will include irretrievable breakdown of marriage as a legal justification for divorce for the first time.
"In today's day and age it may be a welcome step but it will only really help urban women," Kamini Jaiswal, a Supreme Court advocate, told the AFP news agency.
"Rural women will still get a raw deal as they are more oppressed by their husbands.
"Divorce is definitely more socially acceptable in urban India," she said. "I have seen a rapid rise in divorces, but in order to obtain a divorce it can take anywhere from six months to 20 years."
Official figures on the divorce rate are unavailable but experts say that roughly 11 Indian marriages in every 1,000 end in divorce. The rate in the United States is about 400 in every 1,000.
The bodies of 796 babies, toddlers and children were buried in unmarked graves in Tuam, County Galway, between 1925 and 1961.
One of the children was nine years old when buried.
The infants' death records were found by a historian researching the former home.
Catherine Corless told BBC Radio Ulster she was "staggered and shocked" at the number of people buried without headstones.
The causes of death included malnutrition and infectious diseases, such as TB and pneumonia.
Campaigners now hope to erect a sculpture and put plaques with all the children's names along the eight foot wall at the site.
The campaign has won support from the TD (Irish MP) for the area, Ciarán Cannon, who has called for an inquiry.
It is understood that the Bon Secours Sisters, who ran the home for unmarried mothers, have donated some money to the memorial fund.
They have also met with the Archbishop of Tuam, Dr Michael Neary, to discuss holding a memorial service for those who died.
Flyweight Muhammad Ali, who represented Team GB at the Rio Olympics, defeated Elie Konki, and Radoslav Pantaleev beat light-heavyweight Kevin Lele Sadjo.
Frazer Clarke then beat super-heavyweight Jonathan Nacto to secure a 3-2 victory.
The Lionhearts, beaten in last year's final by Cuba, lost their opener against Italia Thunder.
Philippe Jegouzo, 33, was allegedly stabbed in the neck in an unprovoked attack, after he and his wife had stopped at a rest area at Conners Well on the Stuart Highway about 100km (60 miles) north of Alice Springs.
The incident happened last Wednesday.
The accused will appear at Alice Springs Local Court on Monday.
Mr Jegouzo's wife tried to beat off the attacker by hitting him with a picnic table, according to local press reports.
After the attack, she flagged down a passing car in which a nurse and her husband were travelling.
The nurse tried in vain to save Mr Jegouzo's life, while her husband drove to the Aileron roadhouse, 40km (25 miles) further north, to raise the alarm.
On Thursday, police detained a Melbourne man who had spent a night on the run in the bush.
The suspect remains in hospital, suffering from heat exhaustion and dehydration.
The Stuart Highway runs from Darwin to Port Augusta through the central Australian deserts for nearly 3,000km (1,875 miles) and is a popular route for outback travellers.
Detective Superintendent Travis Wurst of the Northern Territory police described the attack as "bizarre" and "random" and said tourists should not be worried about driving through the area.
"There are no safety concerns for any tourist or any traveller or any resident of Alice Springs or Central Australia whatsoever," said DS Wurst.
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill has taken steps which, if approved by the Scottish Parliament, would mean a new limit being introduced on 5 December.
Under the plans, Scotland's blood alcohol limit would be cut from 80mg to 50mg in every 100ml of blood.
It would mean the legal limit in Scotland would be lower than in England - where the limit is 80mg in blood.
The UK Department of Transport said there were no plans to alter the drink drive limit south of the border.
In practice the change in Scotland could mean a glass of wine or a pint of beer would put a driver over the legal limit.
Draft legislation has been laid before parliament, and will bring Scotland's legal alcohol limits in line with much of Europe.
A public awareness campaign will warn drivers not to drink at all.
Mr MacAskill said drinking and driving shattered families and communities, and that it was time to take action to reduce the risk on the country's roads.
He told BBC Scotland the plans to change the drink-drive limit had "broad support".
The justice secretary said: "The support comes not just from the police and law enforcement. It comes from those involved in road safety."
Asked why the government didn't simply apply a zero tolerance approach, Mr MacAskill said: "There are reasons why individuals may have alcohol in their system. It is also quite clear at the 50 (mg) limit, that is when impairment begins to kick in."
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) welcomed the move, and called for the rest of the UK to follow suit.
The drink-drive limit in the UK is currently 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood.
However - like Scotland - the limit in Northern Ireland could be reduced from 80mg in blood to 50mg as part of proposals included in the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill.
The bill is currently being considered by the Northern Ireland Assembly and could become law by early next year.
A 50mg limit would mean an average man would be limited to just under a pint of beer or a large glass of wine and women to half a pint of beer or a small glass of wine.
Sandy Allan, Rospa's Road Safety Manager in Scotland, said he believed the move would save lives and prevent injuries on Scotland's roads.
He added: "There is a considerable body of research which shows that reducing drink drive limits is effective in reducing drink-drive deaths and injuries. We would like to see the rest of the UK follow Scotland's example."
When asked about why a joint approach with the Westminster government on the issue was not agreed, Mr MacAskill said: "We did seek that, but it was the United Kingdom government that decided not to lower the limit despite, I think, a great deal of public support for it being lowered down there."
The latest estimates are that approximately one in 10 deaths on Scottish roads involve drivers who are over the legal limit.
Research has suggested that just one alcoholic drink before driving can make you three times as likely to be involved in a fatal car crash.
However, speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, George Goldie from the Institute of Advanced Motorists, said he did not believe the change would improve road safety and he questioned the motivation behind it saying it would "increase income" gathered from fines.
He added: "We have very few statistics, if any, to show how many accidents are caused by people who are marginally over the limit. Most of the accidents are caused by people who are blatantly blitzed.
"I'm much more concerned about improving driving, as opposed to improving the one in 10. I am much, much more interested in improving the nine in 10."
According to UK-wide figures from the Department of Transport, there were an estimated 6,680 road accidents involving illegal alcohol levels in 2012, making drink driving a factor in 4% of all accidents.
In 2012, an estimated 230 people were killed in drink drive accidents in the UK - accounting for 13% of all reported road fatalities. These are the most up-to-date figures available.
UK Road Safety Minister Robert Goodwill said tackling drink driving was a priority for the government at Westminster.
He said ministers were "strengthening enforcement" by removing the automatic right for drivers who failed a breathalyser test to demand a blood test and by introducing mobile evidential breath testing equipment next year.
However, he added: "We have no plans to alter the drink drive limit."
The Scottish government previously announced its intention to reduce the limit following a consultation which found that almost three quarters of those who responded backed the move.
Owen Brannigan, 45, died after being stabbed at a house in Coatbridge in November 1999.
James McGowan, 57, was arrested by police in Australia last year and has now been extradited to face charges over Mr Brannigan's death.
He is due to appear from custody at Airdrie Sheriff Court later.
A police spokeswoman said: "A 57-year-old man has been arrested and is presently detained in police custody in connection with the death of Owen Brannigan in November 1999 in Coatbridge."
Joshua Bradley, 19, of Bulwell, died after the fight in Thurland Street on 8 February.
A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Six people were arrested in connection with Mr Bradley's death on Tuesday.
Richard Johnson, 24, of Belton Street, Hyson Green, has already been charged with Mr Bradley's murder.
Two men, aged 21 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday.
A 29-year-old man and two women, aged 27 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Another man, 19, who was arrested on suspicion of murder was released without charge.
Last month, three men were also charged with violent disorder in connection with the brawl.
The Old Royal Station in Ballater was ravaged by the blaze in May 2015.
The old station had been the final stopping point for members of the Royal Family heading to Balmoral.
A visitor information centre and a restaurant will feature in the new building along with a library and an enhanced exhibition space.
The work is expected to be completed in December.
An articulated lorry carrying bales of hay caught fire on the London-bound motorway between Faversham and Sittingbourne, in Kent, at 10:15 BST.
It is currently closed to traffic with reports of seven-mile tailbacks. There are diversions via the A20 and M20.
Highways England said the motorway was expected to reopen at about 23:00 BST.
No-one is believed to have been injured in the incident.
Kent Police tweeted that six motorists driving on the hard shoulder would be prosecuted after the fire engine "couldn't get through".
It advised that if stuck on a motorway, drivers should wait and "we will get you out if it is safe".
It is thought that Vernon Presley changed the finish on the Gibson Dove to black after his son earned a black belt in karate.

Auctioneers Julien's also sold John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for The Beatles' Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite! for $354,400 (£244,000).
Other items in the sale included a red neoprene vinyl jacket which Michael Jackson wore for his 1996-97 HIStory world tour, and Elvis Presley's first piano.
The jacket sold for $256,000, over four times the pre-sale estimate, while the piano fetched $140,025 - about $60,000 under what had been predicted.
Lady Gaga's first piano, which had been valued at $100,000, failed to find a buyer, as did Stevie Ray Vaughan's Fender Broadcaster electric guitar, which was estimated at over $400,000.
The 17-year-old boy said he was drunk and targeting taxis in Birmingham on 25 May.
He appeared with three other youths at Birmingham Youth Court on Monday, where he admitted wounding.
The others, two aged 16 and one 15, were convicted of wounding. All four were convicted of conspiring to damage taxis.
The victim was in the back seat of the vehicle as it drove along Bellevue Avenue, Edgbaston.
She was injured when the stone smashed through the glass and hit her.
She was left with multiple fractures and severe bruising to her eye.
The court heard at least three taxis were hit that night, with £1,600 damage caused.
The youths were arrested six weeks after the attack.
In a witness statement to the court, the victim, who does not want to be named, said: "We shouldn't have to put up with this sort of violence.
"If the brick had hit the taxi driver, we could have all been killed."
The teenagers, all from Birmingham, will be sentenced on February 3.
The staging of the 23 August event has been opposed by unionist parties and some city councillors called for a review of it.
Mr Galloway had said he would not withdraw from the event, billed as Saturday Night with George Galloway.
The Ulster Hall is owned by the city council.
On Friday, the council said: "Following a request for a review of the decision to grant the use of the Ulster Hall for an event involving George Galloway, Belfast City Council has received legal advice confirming that any decision to terminate the contract in question is likely to lead to a claim for breach of contract and/or a challenge by way of judicial review in respect of freedom of expression.
"The event will, therefore, proceed as planned."
West Yorkshire Police are investigating recent comments by the Respect MP urging people in Bradford to reject all Israeli goods, services, academics and tourists.
One of those opposed to the event, Democratic Unionist (DUP) councillor Brian Kingston, said the booking should be reviewed in light of the comments and due to tensions in Northern Ireland relating to the the situation in Gaza.
"He goes far beyond calling for a boycott, he is rejecting and demonising an entire country and its people," Mr Kingston said.
Ulster Unionist councillor Jim Rodgers also wrote to the council calling for a review.
In response, Mr Galloway said: "To be lectured on good relations by the DUP is a bit like being told to sit up straight by the Hunchback of Notre Dame."
"It's a commercial contract with the Ulster Hall, signed, sealed and will be delivered, except on terms of very severe compensation."
On Tuesday, it emerged that a plaque erected to former Israeli president president Chaim Herzog at his former home in north Belfast had to be removed after a number of recent attacks.
Last month windows were smashed at a synagogue on north Belfast's Somerton Road.
It will be the first time doctors have ever removed cover from areas such as A&E and intensive care.
The British Medical Association said it had been left with "no choice" in its fight against the imposition of a new contract in England.
But Mr Gummer said the government could not be "held hostage".
Previous junior doctors strikes have affected only routine care.
But the all-out stoppages - which will take place from 08:00 to 17:00 on 26 and 27 April - will include emergency care.
It will mean consultants being drafted in from other hospital departments to staff emergency care, potentially causing huge disruption to routine services.
Mr Gummer told the House of Commons that "we will do everything in our power to ensure patients are protected," but added "if you withdraw the number of doctors that will be withdrawn by the BMA in this action then there is an increased risk of patient harm".
Labour's Heidi Alexander said this was a "worrying time for patients" and urged ministers to listen to patients and "think again" to avert strike action.
She told the Commons: "The secretary of state may think the matter is closed, I say that is arrogant and dangerous in the extreme.
"This is an awful game of brinkmanship and the government must press the pause button before it is too late."
A full walk-out is unchartered territory for hospitals - and of course raises the risk for patients.
Consultants will have to be drafted in from all across the hospital to staff everything from intensive care and emergency surgery to, of course, A&E. That will undoubtedly mean a mass postponement of routine work.
But perhaps more important is what it means for life-threatening care - the heart attack patients and car accident victims. Greater consultant presence in A&E may mean better, quicker care, as they will be more available to make decisions about what patients need.
In emergency surgery, consultants are helped by junior colleagues. Having more consultants in a theatre should resolve that. But where it becomes less clear is what sort of response patients on wards get if they have a medical emergency.
Normally, junior doctors would be among the first medics called. Without them there, and with consultants and other staff deployed elsewhere, patients could be vulnerable.
Yesterday, BMA junior doctors' leader Dr Johann Malawana said: "No junior doctor wants to take this action, but the government has left us with no choice.
"In refusing to lift imposition and listen to junior doctors' outstanding concerns, the government will bear direct responsibility for the first full walkout of doctors in this country.
"The government is refusing to get back around the table and is ploughing ahead with plans to impose a contract junior doctors have no confidence in and have roundly rejected.
"We want to end this dispute through talks, but the government is making this impossible."
The Bank voted 8-1 to keep rates on hold, and said inflation was only expected to pick up slowly, staying below 1% until the second half of 2016.
The report led to speculation that rates might not now rise for a year.

Her legal team declined to give details but said prison conditions contributed to her fragile mental state.
Manning was sentenced to 14 days in solitary confinement in September for charges relating to her attempt to kill herself in July.
The transgender army private, born Bradley Manning, is serving a 35-year sentence for espionage.
She was found guilty in September by prison officials in Leavenworth, Kansas, of "conduct which threatens" after her initial suicide attempt.
She was also convicted of having "prohibited property" - the book "Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy" by Gabriella Coleman.
In July, the former intelligence analyst attempted to take her own life after what lawyers said was the Army's refusal to provide appropriate health care.
She later went on hunger strike which ended after the military agreed to provide her with gender dysphoria treatment.
Her lawyer Chase Strangio described her treatment in a letter, quoted by the AP news agency, as "demoralising", adding that it was an "assault on her health and humanity".
"She has repeatedly been punished for trying to survive and now is being repeatedly punished for trying to die," wrote Mr Strangio.
When she was removed from solitary confinement in October she tweeted that she was "OK" and "trying to get back in the groove of things".
Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013, after being found guilty of espionage for her role in leaking diplomatic cables and battlefield reports to Wikileaks, the anti-secrecy group.
The leak of more than 700,000 documents and videos was one of the largest breaches of classified material in American history.
Many parents in the country find it difficult to keep up with the amount of homework their children get.
And in order to help them, they've gone back to school to attend special workshops on some of the subjects.
Teachers say the sessions are not for parents who are bad at mathematics or English.
Instead, they are there to help parents understand how the style of teaching has changed since they were at school.

Gawker lost a $140m lawsuit Mr Thiel funded on behalf of former wrestler Hulk Hogan two months ago and faces an uncertain future.
Mr Thiel told the New York Times he funded legal action as a deterrent, rather than for revenge.
Mr Thiel was outed as gay by Gawker's Valleywag blog in 2007.
Gawker chief executive Nick Denton likened Mr Thiel to a "comic-book villain" in an open letter.
Valleywag also ran a number of stories about Facebook, which provided part of Mr Thiel's estimated $2.7bn fortune. Mr Thiel is on the Facebook board.
On Thursday Gawker's Mr Denton said in the letter to Mr Thiel: "This vindictive decade-long campaign is quite out of proportion to the hurt you claim. Your plaintiff's lawyer, Charles Harder, has sued not just the company, but individual journalists... Peter, this is twisted."
"Now you show yourself as a thin-skinned billionaire who, despite all the success and public recognition that a person could dream of, seethes over criticism and plots behind the scenes to tie up his opponents in litigation he can afford better than they."
But Mr Thiel told the New York Times: "It's less about revenge and more about specific deterrence... I saw Gawker pioneer a unique and incredibly damaging way of getting attention by bullying people even when there was no connection with the public interest."
David Folkenflik, a media correspondent for US National Public Radio, said the lawsuit seemed designed to cause the company to collapse.
"The lawsuit... $140m could take it down. It appears as though the lawsuits were designed in such a way to achieve that," Mr Folkenflik told Radio 4's Today programme.
He said certain parts of the lawsuit were dropped because they could have resulted in a payout from Gawker's insurance companies, with the result that Gawker "would have to pay for it out of pocket."
Analysis
Tom Espiner, BBC Business reporter
There's another facet to this story: Mr Thiel is a director of Facebook, and the social network is trying to persuade media organisations to host their content on its platform.
It needs companies to provide content - usually for free - to give people more reasons to visit Facebook, so it can sell advertising.
But news organisations tend to feel quite strongly about freedom of speech - they are generally for it - after all, it is their stock-in-trade, and central to their own business models.
So for Facebook, it might not play too well to the crowd that one of its directors funded a lawsuit against Gawker Media - a move some have interpreted as an attack on free speech.
Facebook has an annual meeting late next month and some investors may be interested to know how it will handle the issue.
However, Mr Thiel is one of its big investors, so any real action against him by Facebook would be very surprising.
Mr Thiel backed a privacy case against Gawker brought by the former professional wrestler Hogan, who won $140m damages after Gawker published a sex tape. Gawker intends to appeal.
The video was put online in 2012 after Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea, was secretly filmed having sex with his friend's wife.
Mr Bollea's legal team successfully argued Gawker had violated his privacy and the video was not newsworthy.
Nick Denton was ordered to pay $10m, and the journalist who posted the video and wrote the accompanying article, AJ Daulerio, must pay $100,000.
The closely watched case raised questions about freedom of the press in the digital age.
Fly-half Biggar injured ribs and wing North played on after taking an early blow to the thigh in their 33-7 win over Italy in Rome.
Biggar failed to return after half-time while North played on - and scored a try - in obvious discomfort.
The wing's 60-metre try in the 77th minute was Wales' highlight.

Full-back Leigh Halfpenny's conversion meant Wales scored 30 unanswered points in the second period.
Wales have a six-day turnaround before playing England in Cardiff with the visitors having a day extra to recover from their opening win over France.
"Dan's taken a blow to his ribs, we'll wait for more medical information," said interim coach Rob Howley.
"George took an early bump, and has a haematoma on his thigh.
"We were happy for him to stay on and he showed some mental toughness which is important in games when you come away from home and we were delighted for him to get over the try-line as well."
Wales are hoping to have number eight Taulupe Faletau and lock Luke Charteris available to face England.
Neither player travelled to Rome with Howley confirming they had been working on their fitness in Wales over the weekend.
Biggar's replacement, Sam Davies, played a part in two of Wales' second-half tries.
It was his adventure deep in Wales' own 22 which set up North's score and took Howley's team within touching distance of the tournament's first try bonus point.
"Sam played particularly well, as we know he can," said Howley.

But the coach refused to be drawn on whether Davies had done enough to gain selection for England ahead of Bigger if both players are fit.
"We'll have to see how Dan comes through. Hopefully he and George North will be available for selection," he added.
North believes the faith they showed in themselves paid off in the win.
Wales ended the first round on top of the table after North followed Jonathan Davies and Liam Williams in touching down amid 30 unanswered second-half points.
"We had to fight to the end, every inch, but we're happy with the performance," said North.
"We know they are a passionate team but we backed ourselves and it showed."
After leading the team for the first time since replacing Sam Warburton as captain, lock Alun Wyn Jones was pleased with his side's attitude having trailed 7-3 at the break.
"The first half proved how much of a test it was," said Jones.
"We started slowly but the character showed. We got our foot in the door after the way results have gone.
"We worked a little harder, kept the ball and we came together in the second half."
This is the first reported case of Ebola in Liberia since it was declared free of the disease seven weeks ago.
Deputy health minister Tolbert Nyenswah said tests confirmed that the teenager from Nedowein village, near the international airport, had died of the disease on 28 June.
Officials are investigating how he contracted Ebola, Mr Nyenswah said.
More than 11,000 people have died of the disease since December 2013, the vast majority of them in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
The countries had largely curbed the spread of the disease - but the number of new cases has risen recently, with the start of the rainy season in West Africa.
The news that a 17-year-old has died of Ebola in Liberia is deeply troubling. The country was thought to be free of the deadly virus - no cases had been reported for the past seven weeks, until now.
Officials are urging people not to panic and instead "go about their business as normal". They say they have the situation in hand - the teenager's body was buried safely and surveillance has been stepped up.
But it is not clear how the young man caught the virus and who he may have been in contact with before he died. Liberians must remain vigilant if they are to banish Ebola for good.
Mr Nyenswah told the BBC's Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Monrovia that the authorities were dealing with the situation effectively and there was no need for the public to panic.
"We have said over and over again that there was a possibility that there could be a resurgence of the virus in Liberia," he said. "But our surveillance team, our capacity is very strong.
"The only complication is that the person died before we tested the body as part of our surveillance system."
The number of people quarantined in Nedowein, about 30 miles (48km) from the capital, would be made available later, Mr Nyenswah said.
The authorities were investigating whether the dead man had contracted the disease as a result of travel, he said.
The man's body had been buried safely, in accordance with guidelines to check the spread of Ebola, he added.
He told the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show that launching the Invictus Games was a full-time job but a "great" experience.
Wheelchair basketball and indoor rowing will be among the sports servicemen and women from across the globe compete in at the Games in September.
Prince Harry said he "stole" the idea from a similar event in the US.
The Games will take place at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London between 10 and 14 September.
The point of them is to use the "power of sport" to help injured military members through rehabilitation, Prince Harry said.
He said they would also be a "pathway back into employment" for many in helping them rebuild their lives.
"These guys are a credit to the country," he said.
The prince has been working to bring the event to the UK after seeing something similar in the US - the Warrior Games.
"We decided it was such a wonderful concept, we should steal it, make it bigger, make it better and bring it back home," he said.
Sir Keith Mills, former deputy chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, has helped the prince to organise the Invictus Games.
"This is basically my full-time job at the moment, making sure that we pull this off," Prince Harry said.
"It's been a real struggle actually. Anyone listening out there, I would say if you're going to try and plan something this big in under a year, make sure you've either got Sir Keith Mills with you or don't bother doing it at all. It's been great."
Sports to be featured in the Games include wheelchair basketball, archery, indoor rowing, powerlifting, wheelchair rugby, swimming and sitting volleyball.
There will also be a competitive driving challenge organised by presenting partner Jaguar Land Rover.
Teams from Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Georgia, Iraq, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK and the US have been invited to take part.
Prince Harry pledged to make the Games a regular event.
"We're still trying to work out whether we do it next year or the year after and whether it's going to be within the UK or whether it's going to be abroad," he added.
"But the legacy has already started and if we can use it as a stepping stone for some of these individuals to move on to the Paralympics, great.
"If some of them want to use it as a one-off to get themselves back on the road and then as a stepping stone to employment, then just as good. We will use the Invictus Games for as long as it's needed."
Some 55,000 general tickets have gone on sale for the Games.
There will be further tickets for the closing concert on 14 September with headline act Foo Fighters, Kaiser Chiefs, Ellie Goulding, The Vamps and Rizzle Kicks.
The photos support claims that the Macbook Pro will include a panel above its keyboard that replaces physical function keys with a thin display showing touch-sensitive text and graphics, and a fingerprint sensor.
The images were discovered in an update to the MacOS operating system and first appeared on the MacRumors news site.
Such "accidents" are not uncommon.
In September, Apple tweeted and then deleted a video showing off the iPhone 7's new features ahead of its launch.
Earlier in April, it referred to MacOS on its website two months before officially revealing it was rebranding the software from its earlier name of OS X.
The company's chief executive, Tim Cook, notably promised to "double down on secrecy on products" in 2012 after earlier leaks.
But the company is far from being the only one to have problems with the issue.
In the past two months alone:
Conspiracy theorists have speculated that such leaks could be orchestrated by the manufacturers to boost publicity.
But one expert has doubts that is true.
"The leaks are massively damaging as these companies want to have their 'wow moments' when products are unveiled, and an explosion of media coverage, rather than a more tepid response because the details are known in advance," said Ben Wood from CCS Insight.
"But it seems to have become virtually impossible for any large company to keep new tech products under wraps.
"The only recent time such leaks have worked in a company's favour was when it emerged from China that the iPhone 7 was not going to have a dedicated headphone jack.
"That helped Apple, as it meant people were less shocked and kind of accepted it was going to be the case when it was confirmed."
Apple could not be reached for comment.
On Thursday, the council told its staff that all spending on non-statutory services would be frozen until April.
Chief executive Pat Flaherty confirmed the email, saying he was "not trying to put any extra strain on staff".
Trade union Unison said the freeze "did not come as a shock" and was in talks with the council over the impacts.
He added that there no plans to make any staff redundancies but any existing vacancies would not be filled.
Mr Flaherty said: "If we can't do it then stop - we won't do it. It doesn't mean [staff] do the extra hours to cover it."
The trade union said it was waiting for the results of the risk analysis, which were being made.
Oli Foster-Burnell from Unison said: "You're looking at at various services in libraries, highways.
"So what does it mean if they don't fill a pothole?... Does that mean they will get more claims from motorists? Is that cost going to get any higher?"
Mr Flaherty added that dipping into its £15m of reserves was a last resort to make up the £7m shortfall.
The spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "Councils have worked hard over the past five years to deliver a better deal for local taxpayers, while public satisfaction with services has been maintained.
"Councils are currently sitting on £22bn in reserves and should make funding decisions that reflect the services local people want to see."
Somerset County Council is also expecting to have a further £50m cut out of its budget over the next three years.
Authorities in China have provisionally approved nine more trademarks for the Trump Organization that had previously - and inexplicably - been rejected.
The company now owns the right to use the Chinese version of Mr Trump's name for various products and services.
It comes as the US President fights allegations that his businesses create potential conflicts of interest that may violate the constitution.
Three lawsuits, including one by nearly 200 congressional Democrats, have been filed against Mr Trump because of ethics concerns.
Critics claim the number of approved trademarks has accelerated since Mr Trump entered the White House.
Mr Trump ceded control of his namesake company to his two eldest sons after taking office but retains ownership of the assets. The same goes for his daughter Ivanka Trump, who has a formal White House role as assistant to the president.

A list of Trump's potential conflicts
China has granted formal approval for at least 125 Trump-related copyrights, according to the country's trademark office website.
The Trump Organization now own the rights to products such as golf clubs, restaurants and bars, as well as services for massage parlours and social escorts.
The Trump Organization's lawyer has said the filings are to defend its brand in China given the country's reputation for counterfeiting.
Mr Trump also reportedly applied for trademarks using the name of his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, more than a decade ago.
The Agora centre was opened in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, in 1979, but has fallen into disrepair.
Brickhill Estates wants to turn the site into 90 flats and 25,000 sq ft (2,322 sq m) of retail space.
The proposals have been put on the architect's website for public consultation before a formal planning application is submitted.
Neil Hollingworth, director of Brickhill Estates, said: "People refer to the Agora as the spaceship which landed in the centre of Wolverton.
"It's totally out of character with the rest of the town.
"This plan would rejuvenate and bring forward Wolverton as a town, and provide affordable housing for young people."
But Marie Osbourne, director of Future Wolverton, said while the community was "glad to see a plan to get rid of the Agora" there were concerns their hopes for the Agora might not be met.

In total, 17,316 EU students applied - up from 16,348 in 2011, figures from the admissions service, Ucas, show.
EU law says EU students must be treated as locals, so - like Scottish students - they will not pay fees in Scotland.
But EU applications to English, Welsh and Northern Irish universities - where they will pay up to £9,000 a year - fell by 16.5%, 14% and 8% respectively.
This means 6,065 fewer EU students applied for places at universities in England for 2012.
In Wales, 543 fewer applied and in Northern Ireland, 177 fewer applied.
From the autumn, fees will rise to up to £9,000 a year in England.
Fees are also rising up to this maximum level in other parts of the UK, although students in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales who stay in their home nation to study will not be affected.
British-born Michael Kind, who is 17, has been living in Germany for the past few years, because of his parents' work.
As a result, he is now classed as an EU student, so would not have to pay fees if he went to university in Scotland.
Students who come to Scotland from England, Wales and Northern Ireland, on the other hand, will be liable for fees of up to £9,000 a year from the autumn, although those coming from Wales will be subsidised by the Welsh government.
Michael attends an international school in Berlin where he is studying for the International Baccalaureate.
He said he and his friends had done a lot of research into where to apply for university, in particular weighing up universities in the United States with those in the UK.
"There are a lot of factors you have to consider," he said.
"We are not the wealthiest family so price is always going to play a role. Scotland is a viable option."
He said he felt in an "awkward position" because he did not think "this loophole" was fair, but would do what was best for himself.
"I like the idea of equality. I don't find it fair that Europeans can get in cheaper because they have lived in a different country," he said.
It costs Scotland £75m a year to fund EU students, and that will rise if numbers go up. Ministers in Edinburgh are looking to see if they can change the rules.
Alan Trench, an academic from Edinburgh University and author of a blog,Devolution Matters, said: "It's an anomaly caused by the structure of devolution.
"Politically, it is clearly causing some concern in England and financially, it is expensive for the Scottish government.
"The solution to the problem is far from clear."
The attraction of no fees is also luring English students who live near the Scottish border.
Berwickshire High School in the Scottish borders has pupils who live in England and Scotland, so some will get a free university education and some will not.
Kate, 16, and her family moved six miles three years ago to ensure she was resident in Scotland and would avoid tuition fees there.
"It just hits you sometimes, I think, 'Gosh, I could have been landed with £36,000 debt if I'd done a four-year degree in England.'
Robyn, 17, has always been at school in Scotland, but lives in England, so will have to pay full fees at a Scottish university.
"I've never been in English education and Scottish education has always suited me, so I always thought I wouldn't pay them [tuition fees], so when I found out it was quite difficult.
"I'm part of a Scottish school, I've always been part of Scotland, but I'm considered different and it's difficult to deal with."
Grant, 17, said he was only considering study at a Scottish university, because his family was already struggling with his older sister's fees in England.
"I know that the English universities are very good and they've got very high standards, but I do feel, because of the financial situation, it's just not an option for me."
The head teacher, Rob Kelly, said the new fee structure for higher education had had a notable impact on students' choices.
"There's been a clear reduction in the number of young people applying to go south of the border to English universities.
"Normally we have between 15 to 20 young people choosing to look south. This year I think we have seven all together - and I think that's a sign of things to come."
The government in England says that students should not be put off applying to university when fees rise in the autumn - because no-one has to pay any fees upfront.
The fees will be covered by student loans, which graduates will only have to begin paying back once they are earning more than £21,000 a year.

The claim: Independent forecasts suggest that the minimum wage should be more than £10 an hour.
Reality Check verdict: Adjusting cost of living calculations for inflation means that you can get to £10 an hour by the scheduled time of the next election, but there may be an impact on jobs.
"We'll charge a new living wage review body with the task of setting it at the level needed for a decent life. Independent forecasts suggest that this will be over £10 an hour."
There has been a certain amount of criticism of this figure, with Jonathan Portes from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research telling BBC News: "John McDonnell has taken George Osborne's made-up number and added some more, so we're seeing a bit of an auction."
George Osborne created the National Living Wage in the July 2015 Budget, which is a new minimum wage for workers over the age of 25.
The target for this wage was that it should reach 60% of median earnings for over-25s by 2020. The median wage is the one you get if you put everyone's salaries in order and take the middle one.
The Low Pay Commission's current estimate is that this means the National Living Wage will be £9.16 an hour by 2020. The current rate is £7.20.
The National Living Wage should not be confused with the figure released by the Living Wage Foundation, which is a body that looks at the cost of living and calculates how much workers would need to earn to fund it.
It is currently £9.40 an hour in London and £8.25 an hour in the rest of the UK.
Mr McDonnell hopes to achieve the £10 minimum wage by 2020. If you take £8.25 an hour and adjust it for the Bank of England's inflation target of 2% a year, you do not get to £10 until 2025 and at the moment inflation is considerably below that level.
But the Living Wage is already capped at below the level its researchers believe is the actual minimum living cost outside London. They reckon the figure should be £9.31 an hour, but the researchers have capped it at £8.25 an hour as a result of the "difficult economic times".
If you start from a current figure of £9.31 an hour, inflation takes you over £10 an hour well before 2020.
The important distinction to make is that the Low Pay Commission advises the government on what level of minimum wage may be adopted without adverse effects on employment, whereas the Living Wage Foundation investigates the cost of living.
The Office for Budget Responsibility predicted that there would be between 20,000 and 120,000 fewer people employed by 2020 as a result of the higher target introduced by Mr Osborne.
Paul Johnson, from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, commented: "George Osborne was already taking a pretty significant gamble in increasing the minimum wage to quite such a degree, to a level that's high by international standards and well above what the independent advisers to government suggested was compatible with not losing any jobs or hours."
Derek Phillips, from Malvern, was woken by a "throbbing pain" in his left index finger and spent five days in Worcester Hospital - including a spell in the isolation ward.
Doctors said the 82-year-old was bitten by a venomous spider, but non-poisonous bites can get infected, experts said.
"I would love them to take it off, it's so damn painful," said Mr Phillips.
He is due to have surgery at Kidderminster Hospital on Monday.
"I think they were hoping the top of the finger was going to drop off on its own but it's gone on long enough," his wife Pam said.
Mr Phillips said he first had surgery soon after the bite seven weeks ago.

"There was a great big gash that was oozing horrible stuff.
"They said it was some kind of widow spider which have become more prevalent - because we've had such mild winters they are not getting killed off."
Nigel Cane-Honeysett, head of the Shropshire spider group said: "There aren't any spiders that are native to this country that cause that kind of injury.
"It could be a foreign spider, which would be unusual, or a bite from a non-venomous spider could have become infected.
"There's been a lot of stories about the false widow spider but this does not cause a corrosive injury."
The march left Kelvingrove Park in the west of the city and headed through the centre to Glasgow Green.
Organiser Neil Mackay said the march had been a rally of ordinary Scots and not political parties.
Speaking at Glasgow Green, former socialist MSP Tommy Sheridan told the crowd they were "an army that had not been defeated".
He said: "This army may have had the odd casualty, it may have shed some tears on 19 September, but this army will never give in.
"This army will keep marching until we deliver Scotland's freedom."
Last September's referendum resulted in a No vote against independence but the SNP's runaway success at the recent general election has led to calls for a second vote.
Unionist opponents have voiced concerns that another SNP landslide at the Scottish Parliament election next year could be seen as a mandate for a second vote.
Earlier this week, UK Prime Minister David Cameron refused to consider another independence referendum and indicated that any decision by the Scottish government to unilaterally decide to hold one would not be legitimate.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon responded by saying, "no politician has the right to stand in the way" of another independence referendum.
Mr Sheridan told the independence rally in Glasgow that the Tory prime minister had "no democratic mandate to rule our country."
He said Mr Cameron will not decide the next referendum date, "the people of Scotland will".
Five Sisters Zoo in West Calder raised £150,000 in an appeal to build a new two-acre enclosure for the male lions.
They were seized by Belgian officials in May 2014 because the country forbids the use of wild animals in circuses.
They have been living at a rescue sanctuary since then.
The owners of Five Sisters Zoo travelled to Belgium to begin the process of transporting the animals.
They arrived in West Calder in the early hours of Monday.
The exact history of the lions is not known but they have no manes as a result of being castrated. It is thought they were born in captivity and sold to the circus at a young age.
The circus was performing in the city of Liege, in French-speaking Belgium, when government officials seized a trailer and took the lions to a rescue centre.
Five Sisters Zoo, which was hit by a fire in 2013, has already successfully re-homed three former circus bears after launching an appeal in August 2011.
It has now constructed a large outdoor area for the lions with rocks, a waterfall, pool and platform areas and a large, heated indoor den.
Zoo owners Brian and Shirley Curran, said they were extremely grateful to people who donated to its appeal.
They said: "This has been an amazing and challenging journey, but we are extremely proud to have accomplished everything we set out to do and are forever grateful for the huge support from both near and far of the thousands of supporters who have helped make this possible."
They made a solid replica of a foetal brain, still smooth and unfolded, and coated it with a second layer which expanded when dunked into a solvent.
That expansion produced a network of furrows that was remarkably similar to the pattern seen in a real human brain.
This suggests that brain folds are caused by physics: the outer part grows faster than the rest, and crumples.
Such straightforward, mechanical buckling is one of several proposed explanations for the distinctive twists and turns of the brain's outermost blanket of cells, called the "cortex".
Alternatively, researchers have suggested that biochemical signals might trigger expansion and contraction in particular parts of the sheet, or that the folds arise because of stronger connections between specific areas.
"There have been several hypotheses, but the challenge has been that they are difficult to test experimentally," said Tuomas Tallinen, a soft matter physicist at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland and a co-author of the study, which appears in Nature Physics.
"I think it's very significant... that we can actually recreate the folding process using this quite simple, physical model."
Humans are one of just a few animals - among them whales, pigs and some other primates - that possess these iconic undulations. In other creatures, and early in development, the cortex is smooth.
The replica in the study was based on an MRI brain scan from a 22-week-old foetus - the stage just before folds usually appear.
A 3D printout of that scan was used to make a mould, which in turn was filled with a silicon-based gel to make the "gel brain".
Finally, a 1mm-thick layer of slightly different gel was added to the surface - to play the role of the cortex.
When placed in a glass jar full of an organic solvent for 20-30 minutes, this outer layer swelled up and contorted itself into a very familiar shape.
"When I put the model into the solvent, I knew there should be folding but I never expected that kind of close pattern compared to human brain," said co-author Jun Young Chung from Harvard University, US.
"It looks like a real brain."
Specifically, the shape and direction of the gel brain's major grooves were an excellent match to those found in a typical 34-week-old human brain.
The team also created a computer simulation of the process.
Starting with the same shape as the replica foetus brain, split into its two simple layers, this mathematical model allowed them to follow the expansion process much further - until the simulated brain reached adulthood.
"In real brains there's something like a 20-fold increase in cortical area during development," Dr Tallinen told the BBC. "We can't create that in physical model - but in the numerical model we can. And we can also use more realistic parameters."
The experiments were a continuation of previous research by the same team, in which they stuck an expanding layer onto a simple spherical shape and calculated the stiffness and depth of "cortex" that produced wrinkles of a brain-appropriate size.
"In this paper we use real brain geometries, and we reproduce a developmental setting," Dr Tallinen explained. "We can study how brain geometry affects folding and creates the kind of arrangements of folds that we see in human brains."
As for whether these findings clinch the argument for brain folding being a purely mechanical process, Dr Tallinen was circumspect.
"The things that we saw in our model will inevitably happen in real brains as well, just as a consequence of this simple expansion. But there could be some other biological factors that modulate this process."
Zoltan Molnar, a neuroscientist at Oxford University who studies cortical development, said this was an impressive study that reconciled different ideas about how the brain folds, using a simple model.
"It's an excellent start - and it's almost alarming how similar it looks!" he told BBC News.
The simplicity of the mechanical mechanism is appealing, Prof Molnar explained, because it helps explain why "almost every branch" of the evolutionary tree has some species with brain folds, and some without.
"It has to be quite simple, because evolution is not going to keep inventing things twice. This way, you can see why it's so common."
The work also holds promise, he added, for studying diseases in which the brain fails to fold in the usual way.
"If they could recreate [a disorder] by changing some of the parameters... that would really help us to understand some of these folding abnormalities."

He said home-ownership was just a "dream" for many people and that housing benefit was being paid to landlords renting out "unsafe homes".
Mrs May said tough measures were in place including money for councils to carry out more inspections.
She also said women's refuges could be exempt from a housing benefit cap.
Live: PMQs and reaction
After Mr Corbyn warned of "devastating" refuge closures when payments are capped at the same level as in the private rented sector, the PM told the Commons the government was "working on exempting refuges from the cap".
"We are listening to these problems and we are responding to them," she added.
Labour is in the middle of a leadership contest, and before PMQs Mr Corbyn's rival, Owen Smith, urged him to target the EU negotiations with his questions.
But Mr Corbyn chose instead to quiz the PM on housing, saying house-building had fallen under the Tories and that council houses sold off were not being replaced.
The PM said this was not the case, adding that Mr Corbyn wanted a society where there were no private landlords and with the government "owning everything".
"We want opportunity for everyone," she said, adding that this was a "big difference between him and me".
She included jokes - including about Mr Corbyn's row with Virgin Trains - in her answers, with the Labour leader ignoring the jibes as he responded.
Mrs May was also asked twice by SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson whether she wanted the UK to remain in the EU single market after Brexit, responding that she would not give a running commentary on the negotiations.
Tommy Sheppard said the Greens should be "mindful of not splitting the pro-Yes vote and certainly not splitting the anti-Tory vote".
The Scottish Greens will confirm after next week's council election which seats they will stand in.
The party has said it will be for local branches to decide.
But Scottish Green co-convener Maggie Chapman told the National newspaper last week she would be happy to support non-Green candidates if it meant "getting Tories out of Scotland".
Ms Chapman also said that she wanted to ensure that the country had "elected representatives who walk the walk of the politics of the new Scotland we want to see".
And she suggested the Greens were unlikely to stand in the Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale seat being defended by the country's only Conservative MP, or in neighbouring Berwickshire Roxburgh and Selkirk where the SNP's Calum Kerr is defending a majority of just 308 over the Conservatives.
The Scottish Greens won six seats in last year's Holyrood election - all through the regional list system - but have never had an MP elected to Westminster, and have never fielded candidates in every constituency.
Mr Sheppard told the National that the Greens "will want to stand some candidates as they are a national party and will want to put their case to their base".
But the Edinburgh East MP added: "In deciding which seats to contest and not to contest I think they should be mindful of not splitting the pro-Yes vote and certainly not splitting the anti-Tory vote."
He also said he did not believe the Scottish Greens should stand in Edinburgh South, which is currently held by Scottish Labour's only MP, Ian Murray.
Mr Sheppard said he believed the seat was a three-way contest between Labour, the SNP and Conservatives, and that "in those circumstances I don't think the Greens should be targeting that sort of seat".
Responding to the SNP MP's comments, a spokesman for the Scottish Greens told BBC Scotland the party was currently focused on next week's council elections, where it will be fielding more than 200 candidates.
He added: "Decisions about which constituencies to contest on 8 June are for local branches of our party to make, and they will make those decisions after the council elections, not before.
"In the constituencies we do contest, we will give people the option of voting for a Green MP who will resist the Tories' disastrous plans for a hard Brexit, who will speak up for Scotland's right to choose its future and will fight for the environmental and social protections other parties pay lip service to."
The results of recent opinion polls have left the Conservatives hopeful of winning several seats from the SNP, which won 56 of the country's 59 constituencies in 2015.
Meanwhile, Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale is to use a speech to the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) in Aviemore to attack both the SNP and the Conservatives.
Ms Dugdale will say that the UK government's handling of Brexit had shown "the risks they're willing to take with our country's economy".
She will add: "Threatening to walk away from the EU without a deal is no better than Nicola Sturgeon's threat to walk away from the UK with independence.
"Both would lead to job losses and even more austerity than we're already facing.
"And the UK government's refusal to take EU nationals off the table as bargaining chips is just another example of its lack of compassion."
Ms Dugdale will also mount a fierce attack on the Conservatives over the so-called "rape clause" - which means tax credits are limited to two children with an exemption for women who have conceived as a result of rape.
She will brand the UK government's stance on the issue as "another example of its lack of compassion".
Elsewhere on the campaign trail, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson called on First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to spell out her "next steps" on independence before people vote in the general election.
Ms Sturgeon had originally said she would do so after the Easter recess - but that timetable seems likely to be delayed because of the snap election.
The first minister, who is also the SNP leader, insisted earlier this week that the election was not about deciding whether Scotland should be independent or not.
Ms Davidson said: "The first minister could not have been clearer last month - she told the people of Scotland she would set out her next steps on her unwanted referendum plan after Easter and keep us all informed.
"Yet now that a general election has been called she has gone back on her word.
"The reason is obvious: as always with the SNP they desperately try to play down independence in an election campaign because they know it's unpopular."
But Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron claimed businesses will be "funding their own funeral" if they continue to donate to a Conservative Party that backs a "disastrous hard Brexit".
Mr Farron urged firms to "dump the Tories", and pitched the Liberal Democrats as the "new party of business" because it is committed to keeping the UK in the single market.
"The Sunderland factory is very competitive," said Nissan's chief performance officer Colin Dodge.
The Infiniti model was penned by Nissan's design team in London and engineered at its technical centre in Bedfordshire.
Their brief was to appeal to buyers in Europe, where the marque's sales are weak.
Business Secretary Vince Cable visited the Sunderland plant on Wednesday for the investment announcement.
"Today's news is a strong endorsement of the quality of Britain's car industry, which is creating jobs, taking on apprentices and contributing to building a stronger economy," he said.
"The auto sector is living up to being one of the great success stories of our industrial strategy and a testimony to government and private sector working together in close partnership."
'Pivotal car'
Mr Dodge said it was too early to be specific about how many jobs would be created as a result of the fresh investment.
It was suggested, however, that it could be about 280 directly at the factory, with a further 700 or so created with suppliers.
However, to make space for the Infiniti, a previously announced investment of £127m to build a hatchback, involving some 125 jobs, will now be moved from Sunderland to another Nissan factory in Europe, for instance in Spain or Russia, an Infiniti spokesman said.
The Infiniti investment will be made during the next two years and the new Infiniti will start rolling off the assembly line in 2015, Mr Dodge said.
Nissan said it would produce up to 60,000 Infiniti cars per year.
The new car has not yet been named, beyond an announcement that it will be called something starting with Q followed by a digit and ending with 0, but it will be based on the Ethera concept vehicle that was displayed at the Geneva motor show in 2011.
"It is a pivotal car for Europe," Mr Dodge said.
Infiniti has made little headway since it was first launched in Europe in 2008 with a series of large, thirsty cars with powerful V6 and V8 petrol engines.
"The Infiniti brand has been very American-centric for years," Mr Dodge said, "but the new, smaller model is the size of car for Europe rather than for the US."
Infiniti has set itself an ambitious sales target in Europe of 100,000 cars by 2016, compared with 16,700 cars sold in 2011.
Between a third and half the sales of the new Infiniti are expected to come in Europe, said Mr Dodge.
The car will be the first Infiniti to be offered with a diesel engine, an option seen as crucial to win over European drivers, Mr Dodge said, though he declined to reveal further details about the engine options for the car.
The Ethera concept was a petrol-electric hybrid with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine. Nissan is developing engines jointly with Mercedes-owner Daimler, it works closely with alliance partner Renault, and in March this year it unveiled a high performance petrol-electric hybrid model, the Emergenc-e, that will use a three-cylinder petrol engine made by Hethel, Norfolk-based Lotus.
Sunderland was awarded the model thanks to its reputation for efficiency, both in terms of quality and cost as well as ability to deliver, said Mr Dodge, who worked at the plant from 1984 until 2007 before he was promoted and moved to the Nissan headquarters in Japan.
Nissan used to claim that its Sunderland plant, which currently employs more than 6,000 people, was the most efficient car factory in Europe, though these days it tends not to mention this.
"But it is," said Mr Dodge. "We just don't keep chest-beating about it year in, year out."
Nissan said Sunderland is on schedule to become the first car factory in the UK to have produced more than 500,000 cars in one calendar year. "Even during British Leyland times, they didn't do that," said Mr Bolt.
The decision to produce the new Infiniti outside Japan was based on a number of factors.
"Historically, we've made Infiniti in Japan," said Mr Dodge, though in recent years, he explained, the yen has been very strong, thus making it difficult to make money from cars exported from Japan.
In response, the carmaker is shifting production to the UK, the US and China.
It is "heartbreaking" for Nissan's Japanese staff to see production moved out of the country, Mr Dodge said.
"They can make cars as well as anybody," he said, "but they're at a significant disadvantage when compared with rivals selling cars in dollars, euros or pounds."
But the strong yen is not the only reason why Nissan makes ever more cars abroad.
Investment and production in growth markets around the world would probably continue even if the yen was to fall in value, as it is expected to do under the country's next prime minister, Shinzo Abe.
"If you've got a manufacturing base and a supply base set up, it is best to produce and sell in one currency," said Mr Dodge.
The first results of revised GCSEs in English and maths will be published this week, with a grading system using numbers from 9 to 1.
Barnaby Lenon, chairman of the Independent Schools Council, says they will stretch the most able students.
But he urges universities to be cautious about using the top grade 9.
"Universities should not consider the distinction between an 8 and a 9 worth making until they have evidence that it does indicate something," Mr Lenon writes in an article to be published later this week.
"After all, 95% might get you a grade 8, 96-to-100% a grade 9. Does the grade 9 student have greater intellectual ability and academic potential or are they simply better at writing fast, or better at checking for silly errors?
"Only time, and analysis of results, will tell."
The new-style exams, beginning with English and maths, will no longer use coursework or modules, but will be graded on final exams.
Mr Lenon predicted that schools that had relied on coursework to boost results could "suffer a fall in grades this year".
He argues that coursework was an "unreliable measure" of ability, "much of it had little value" and it could too easily be "influenced" by teachers or parents.
There will also be changes to the syllabuses to make them more demanding.
While much of the attention will be on the new grading system, Mr Lenon says it is important not to miss the scale of change for the qualification.
"They contain questions of a level of difficulty that we have not seen since the abolition of O-levels in 1987," says Mr Lenon.
This is intended to stretch pupils in England so that they can catch up with the standards of pupils in east Asia, he says.
But if the new exams provide more challenge for the most gifted pupils, he says the impact at the average and lower ability end remains uncertain.
"Raising the bar" will not necessarily help these pupils, he says, unless they have the support to "jump higher".
"It is the quality of teaching of less able or less diligent pupils that will help them to succeed in their GCSEs."
Head teachers' leader Geoff Barton said that schools would be concerned about "volatility" in the results of individual schools, below the surface of national results.
Mr Barton, head of the ASCL head-teachers' union, said there should be caution about interpreting and comparing the results of such a different form of GCSE.
Teachers and pupils would have to adjust to a different style of qualification, he said, and he warned against people "springing to judgement" over unanticipated results.
John Blake, head of education at the Policy Exchange think tank, backed the changes.
"These new GCSEs are demanding, and rightly so," said Mr Blake.
"The comparison with O-level is a good one - those qualifications were designed for our most academic children, and as we improve our curriculum and our expectations of all our young people, it is right they be the benchmark for success."
GCSE results are to be published on Thursday - including the first wave of new 9-to-1 grades.
There have been warnings of confusion over numerical grading and questions about a system that will have two different types of pass grade - with grade 4 a "standard" pass and grade 5 a "strong" pass.
The Institute of Directors warned last week that some employers might not understand the new grades and would see them as "gibberish".
However the news has disappointed some console owners who believe a subscription would enable them to access more content.
China's Xbox Gold service is very limited compared with other markets in order to comply with the country's strict censorship laws.
The free trial was supposed to have ended this week.
China is the only country in which access to a regionally locked-down version of the online Gold service is free.
Regular membership in most countries includes online multiplayer functions, free online games and discounts on others.
Online games still require government approval before they can launch in China, which means that many are unavailable.
Sharing the news on its official Weibo account, a popular Chinese micro-blogging platform, Microsoft said it would continue to be free "for reasons you understand".
"To say that Chinese Xbox fans were not amused might be an understatement," reports the Tech in Asia website.
"Fans are incensed at what many see as a pattern of constant delays."
The Xbox One gaming console went on sale in China in 2014, after a 14-year ban on consoles was lifted.
Microsoft has been contacted by the BBC for comment.
He said there was "a real appetite in Wales" for leaving the European Union, claiming the country was "even keener" on Brexit than other parts of the UK.
Geraint Talfan Davies, chairman of Wales Stronger in Europe, said the pro-EU group looked forward to "engaging with David to give the people of Wales the positive debate they deserve".
The referendum takes place on 23 June.
Mr Jones, Conservative MP for Clwyd West, said: "I have no doubt that there is a real appetite in Wales for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union.
"Recent polls, in fact, have shown that Wales is even keener for a 'leave' vote than many other parts of the country."
He added: "Wales, and the rest of the United Kingdom, can look forward to a more prosperous, more outward-looking future, outside the European Union."
Carl Cope, 47, died from a heart attack after suffering chest pains near the A&E department at Walsall's Manor Hospital in June 2012.
Matthew Geary, 36, from Manor Avenue, Great Wyrley, Staffordshire, admitted at Wolverhampton Crown Court to failing to discharge a duty.
He was given bail and will be sentenced on a date to be fixed.
A 45-year-old woman, who has denied the same charge, is due for trial on 12 January, but the prosecution has discontinued a case against a 55-year-old man, who had been facing the same charge.
Mr Cope went for a drink after being left in an A&E waiting room and collapsed outside.
Edward Perring, 79, was found in a collapsed state on 5 May.
His wife Gloria Perring, 76, was found dead at the property on Ashleigh Close, Tamerton Foliot.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said emergency services had been called to the address after reports of a disturbance. The major crime team is investigating the deaths.
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.

"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.
The Daily Record leads with the claim that a Rangers fan who confronted Celtic's Scott Brown during last Saturday's Old Firm match was convicted of exposing himself to an 11-year-old girl in 2010.
A failed businessman who conned friends and relatives - including his own daughter - out of more than £250,000 with a "catastrophic" betting scheme has been jailed for 27 months, reports The Courier.
The Metro leads with the conviction of a man for planting a bag of explosives on a London tube train. Damon Smith was caught on CCTV dumping a bag containing a home-made bomb and deadly ball-bearing shrapnel.
Like many of Thursday's papers, The Scottish Sun carries revelations from Hollywood star Brad Pitt, who has admitted that a drinking problem wrecked his marriage and tore his young family apart.
Opening up in a candid interview with GQ Style magazine, the 53-year-old spoke about the repercussions of his divorce from Angelina Jolie, said the Daily Star.
The parents of Madeleine McCann have vowed to never give up hope of finding their daughter as they mark the 10th anniversary of her disappearance from a holiday villa in Portugal, says the Scottish Daily Express.

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.

Owen Newbury, 18, admitted racially aggravated harassment following Everton's first goal in the fourth round tie at Brunton Park in January.
Newbury, of Skinburness Drive, Silloth, was given a five-year banning order at Carlisle Magistrates' Court.
He was also ordered to carry out 140 hours of community service.
She is accused of directing the artillery fire in which the two journalists died.
It was initially thought the judge had found her guilty, but journalists say a final verdict has not yet been delivered.
Ukraine and some Western countries have condemned the case as a show trial.
The two Russian state TV journalists Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin were killed in mortar fire in June 2014, at the height of fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels.
On the same day, Ms Savchenko, 34, was captured by rebels.
Ms Savchenko, a pilot by training, is accused of having acted as an artillery spotter on the ground.
She denies the charges. Her has argued phone records prove she was captured by rebels before the attack.
Ms Savchenko had arrived in the area a few days previously to join the volunteer Aidar battalion, loyal to the Ukrainian government.
According to her lawyers, she was captured by rebel militants on the morning of 17 June whilst trying to reach several Aidar fighters who had been wounded in an ambush.
Ms Savchenko says her captors then took her into Russia, but prosecutors say she secretly crossed into Russian territory herself.
Ukraine resistance symbol in Russia
Caught in the middle of a media war
'A symbol of defiance and hope'
Reading the verdict, the judge in the Russian town of Donetsk quoted prosecutors as saying Ms Savchenko had been driven by "political hatred".
The prosecution has called for Ms Savchenko - who was elected as a Ukrainian MP in her absence following her capture - to be jailed for 23 years.
Any sentence will be delivered by the court on Tuesday, after an eventual verdict has been handed down.
Earlier, one of her lawyers said there was "no doubt" that the court would find Ms Savchenko guilty and sentence her to a "few dozen years".
"A propaganda machine is at work here, absent of justice and freedom," said Mark Feigin on Twitter.
Western politicians have called for her release.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has said she should be freed "immediately and unconditionally" while the US envoy to the UN, Samantha Power, described the trial as "farcical".
Relations between Russia and Ukraine - along with its Western allies - have deteriorated since the events of 2014 in Ukraine.
Moscow annexed the Crimean peninsula that March after an unrecognised referendum on self-determination, and is accused of covertly supporting the rebels in the bloody conflict which later divided eastern Ukraine.
The Archbishop of Canterbury made the comments as he defended the decision to restrict a liberal US branch of the Church for allowing same-sex marriage.
He said it was not for Anglican leaders to "divide the Church" and that union would be "painful as well as joyful".
But he added it was a "constant source of deep sadness that people are persecuted for their sexuality".
His comments followed an agreement between Anglican leaders on measures to curb the US Episcopal Church, including barring it from decision-making for three years.
The agreement - made at a four-day meeting of 39 Anglican primates in Canterbury - also upheld a "traditional doctrine" of marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Episcopal leaders and campaigners have criticised the decision, with people gathering to protest at Canterbury Cathedral.
The head of the Episcopal Church, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight, the experience of the gay and lesbian community was similar to that of African-Americans, adding: "Even after emancipation there were those who were excluded and segregated."
Anglicans have been divided on the issue of homosexuality and same-sex marriage since the US Episcopal Church ordained an openly gay bishop in 2003.
Leaders said that stance was a "fundamental departure" from the faith of the majority in what is the world's third largest Christian denomination.
Speaking at the Primates 2016 conference, Archbishop Welby said facing protesters, particularly those from Africa, was a reminder of the "pain and suffering of many LGBTI (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex) people around the world".
He said: "For me it's a constant source of deep sadness, the number of people who are persecuted for their sexuality.
"I don't have the right to speak for everyone. I wanted to take this opportunity to say how sorry I am for the hurt and pain, in the past and present, the Church has caused."
But defending the decision to curb the US Episcopal Church, he said the "unity shown by the primates" was "going to be painful as well as joyful and remarkable".
"It is not for us to divide the body of Christ, it is not for us to divide the Church," he said.
The rift over the US Episcopal Church's stance on same-sex marriage and homosexuality dates back to the ordination of openly gay Canon Gene Robinson.
He was made a bishop of the Episcopal Church's New Hampshire diocese in 2003.
More than 100 senior Anglicans had used an open letter less than a week ago to urge the Church of England to repent for "discriminating" against lesbian and gay Christians.
However, the Anglican leaders in Canterbury said the Episcopal Church's approval of gay marriage was "a fundamental departure from the faith and teaching" of the majority of Anglicans.
The Anglican leader denied suggestions the US Church was being sanctioned but said it was facing "consequences" and said the decision was supported by the "overwhelming majority" of Anglican primates.
Asked if the Church's position made it look outdated, he admitted it would in some parts of the world but not others.
He said: "It makes us look out of line in the US and UK, yes, but not in many other parts of the world, no.
"We are a global Church and that means that there are different views in different places."
He also said the mistreatment of gay people in some countries, especially those where homosexuality is criminalised, remained a "major concern".
BBC religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt
There was an atmosphere of significant mistrust at this meeting, perhaps hardly surprising given the animosity of the past years between the most traditionalist of the provinces and the most liberal.
The disagreement over Anglican doctrine regarding same sex marriage is probably a more fundamental one than the divisions that raged over female priests.
But the subtext of the meeting has been the power struggle just beneath the surface over who should lead the Anglican communion in the future - the countries of the global south, where congregations are growing, represented in part by Global Anglican Future (GAFCON) or Canterbury, its traditional leadership based in an increasingly secular global north where congregations have been in decline for many years.
Through diplomacy and negotiation - and a tight media blackout which succeeded until almost the last day - the Anglican Communion has pulled through as one, for now.
The careful wording of the resolution agreed by the majority of primates ensured there was no mention of the words "sanction" or "punishment", although the strength of feeling about the Episcopal Church's unilateral action was abundantly clear.
Nonetheless, even as GAFCON welcomed the deal, its leadership added that: "This action must not be seen as an end, but as a beginning."
So even though the Anglican Communion has not "moved into separate bedrooms", as some had expected, it is continuing to live in a deeply divided household.

The Global Anglican Future Conference (Gafcon), which represents conservative Anglican leaders worldwide, said it was pleased by the outcome but said "this action must not be seen as an end, but as a beginning".
But Presiding Bishop Michael Curry told BBC Radio 4's World Tonight that the decision would bring "great pain" to gay and lesbian members of the Anglican Communion.
He said: "Those who are baptised followers of Jesus - whether they are straight gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered - if they're committed to following the way of Jesus, they should have equal access to all of the services and sacraments in the life of the Church."
He also defended the decision of the Episcopal Church to change the canon to allow for same-sex couples to be married in church.
"Obviously it's a serious disagreement. We believe the decision we've taken is the right one and they've expressed their displeasure and disagreement and we respect that."
Other gay Christians and supporters of equal marriage were critical of the decision.
Labour MP and former Anglican minister Chris Bryant, who is gay, said: "I've finally given up on Anglican church today after its love-empty decision on sexuality.
"One day it will seem wrong as supporting slavery."
Archbishop Welby is to appoint a task group to rebuild trust in the Anglican Communion.
Anglicans, whose roots are in the missionary work of the Church of England, are the third-largest grouping of Christians in the world, behind Roman Catholics and the Orthodox.
Streets are being newly paved in Havana and the cathedral is being renovated.
On the city's iconic Revolution Square, where Pope Francis will celebrate a Mass on Sunday, workers have been building a huge altar and stands for the congregation and choir.
Pope Francis will spend four days in Cuba before flying to the US, on his first visits to both countries.
Similar makeovers are taking place in other Cuban cities on the Pope's itinerary.
Workers in Havana have re-laid the cobbled streets where the Pope mobile will pass and have upgraded the traffic lights.
The airport terminal where the Pope will arrive has also been renovated.
In the city of Holguin where the pope will celebrate Mass on Monday, the cathedral has been repaired and repainted.
Officials say nearly 1,000 Cuban and foreign journalists are expected to cover the visit.
On Thursday the Vatican said it hoped Pope Francis's visit would help bring to an end the 53-year-old US embargo and lead to more freedom and human rights on the island.
The Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin said the Vatican hoped for "a flowering of these fundamental aspects for the life of persons and peoples".
The Pope himself praised Cubans' "spirit" in the face of adversity.
"It does me a lot of good and helps me to think of your faith in the Lord, of the spirit with which you confront the difficulties of each day," he said in a message relayed on Cuban state television.
Pope Francis's trip will also take him to the US. The thaw in relations between Cuba and the US in recent months is partly due to his crucial mediation between Havana and Washington - something Mr Castro thanked the Pope for during a visit to the Vatican in May.
On Friday the US announced eased restrictions on business and travel with Cuba, the latest move by President Barack Obama to improve relations with the country.

If convicted, the men could face the death penalty. A sixth suspect, who is thought to be 17, is expected to be tried by a juvenile court.
The case has shocked India and sparked a debate about the treatment of women.
On Sunday, the victim's mother condemned public figures who implied her daughter had brought it on herself.
In an interview with the BBC, she said those who criticised Indian women for adopting Western dress and lifestyles were "sexist and irresponsible" and were in effect condoning rape.
The physiotherapy student, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and a male friend were attacked on a bus in south Delhi on 16 December.
Police said the assailants beat both of them, and then raped the woman. She suffered massive internal injuries and died nearly two weeks later.
By Andrew NorthSouth Asia correspondent
The start of the trial at the Saket court complex in Delhi was delayed for more than an hour as defence lawyers argued that it should be open to the media. The judge rejected their request and said it should be held behind closed doors.
After receiving the charge sheet, the judge adjourned the trial until 24 January, when opening arguments will be heard.
The defendants have been named as Ram Singh and his brother Mukesh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur. The sixth suspect claims to be a juvenile and his case is being handled separately.
Lawyers for two of the suspects have said they will plead not guilty. It is unclear how the other three accused will plead.
Prosecutors say they have extensive forensic evidence linking all six men to the crime. It is supported by the suspects' mobile-phone records and the testimony of the dying woman and her friend, they add.
Do 'fast track' courts work?
However, defence lawyers told the Reuters news agency that they were preparing to argue that the forensic evidence had been fabricated.
They also said the trial was unsafe because police had rushed the investigation into the crime as a result of the public outrage.
Two of the four defence lawyers had said their clients were beaten in custody and forced to make confessions which were suspiciously similar. Officials have declined to comment, citing legal restrictions.
The defence is also expected to argue that the men were denied legal aid for several weeks. The lawyer for Ram Singh, VK Anand, said he would ask to move the trial out of the capital because of the media attention.
"We are sure we will not get justice in Delhi," he added.
The brutal assault on the 23-year-old student has led to nationwide protests against the treatment of women in India.
Campaigners have called for tougher rape laws and reforms to the police have been accused of too often failing to file charges against attackers.
The government has promised to fast-track future rape cases. Legal proceedings in India sometimes involve years of delays.
As well as the one sitting at Saket, five other fast-track courts are being set up in Delhi to allow crimes against women to be dealt with swiftly. There are believed to be about 95,000 rape cases pending nationwide, according to Ranjana Kumari, a women's activist and director of the Centre for Social Research.
"'We need a system in which women can get justice quickly. Otherwise, in the normal course of things, it can take 10 or 12 or 14 years for cases to be taken up by the court. That is tantamount to denying justice to the victim," she told the Associated Press.
The government has also said that it will bring in stronger sexual assault laws and has established several committees to recommend changes.
Jamie Hodson, from Wigan, was fatally injured in the Dundrod 150 on 10 August after an incident at the Joey's Windmill section.
The 35-year-old Englishman won the Supertwins MGP race in 2016 which is held on the Isle of Man TT course.
A service will be held at St Ninian's Church in Douglas on 23 August.
A church spokesman said it is being held with the "kind permission of the Hodson family" and conducted by the Rev John Coldwell.
He added that a "celebration of Jamie's life" will also be held in his home town of Wigan and all are welcome at both.
Jamie's brother Rob Hodson was also involved in the crash but 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 later announced shortly after 22:00 BST.
The opening practice session for the 2017 Festival of Motorcycling, which includes the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT, will be held on Saturday.
The train drivers' union Aslef said its 24-hour action would start at 21:30 BST on Wednesday.
London Underground (LU) had offered four unions a deal aimed at improving work-life balance.
BBC London correspondent Karl Mercer said all four unions had rejected the offer as talks continued.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has also rejected the deal while Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) is yet to make official its response to the offer.
Unite previously said its action "would go ahead". Talks are being held at conciliatory service Acas.
LU said the new offer included an extra £200 per night Tube shift for drivers and a £500 bonus for station staff by next February as well as a further guarantees for a 32-hour, four-day week.
After a short transition period while the service is introduced, drivers will have the choice whether to work nights, said LU, and everyone will be entitled to two days off in seven.
But Aslef said LU should postpone the planned launch of the all-night Tube on 12 September so further negotiations could be held.
It said the new deal was "completely inflexible", leaving it with "no other choice" than to walk out.
Finn Brennan from the union said the main concern was the "complete lack of firm commitments on work life balance for train drivers" and the number of weekend rest days they would get.
The RMT said it had also rejected the "re-packaged" offer, saying its reps were "furious" when they examined details of the proposed deal.
It said: "They are a re-hash of previous plans and would continue along the course of smashing up long-standing agreements and destroying work-life balance."
LU's managing director Nick Brown said he was "hugely disappointed" the unions had rejected the "very fair" offer for "pretty thin" reasons, but that LU remained open to further talks.
Transport for London (TfL) has warned that Tube services will stop running at 18:30 BST on Wednesday, with services "exceptionally busy" from 16:30 BST.
There will be no Tube services all day on Thursday.
The action follows a strike that closed the entire network at the beginning of July after the unions rejected an offer which included a 2% rise this year and £2,000 for drivers on the weekend night Tube service.
A judge granted the Law Society and Bar Council leave to seek a judicial review of Justice Minister David Ford's rules.
The hearing is scheduled to take place in September.
A barrister representing the two bodies said the reduced payments did not give lawyers fair reward for their work to ensure defendants got a fair trial.
"They will have a devastating impact on the criminal justice system both now and in the future," said Karen Quinlivan QC.
"Our concern is it will lead to an erosion in due course of advocacy and representation."
She added: "If we are successful we will be seeking to quash retrospectively the unlawful rules."
Mr Ford, who is facing cuts to his departmental budget along with other Northern Ireland Executive ministers, introduced new rules this month that reduce the legal aid payments available to lawyers who undertake criminal case work.
Earlier this week, barristers who are part of the Criminal Bar Association withdrew from all new criminal cases requiring legal aid, in protest against the reduced payments.
A barrister for the minister told the court he had received 2,000 pages of legal exhibits as part of the challenge, with further documentation from a forensic accountant's report still to come.
Seeking six weeks to assess the material, Tony McGleenan QC said: "We have quite a substantial body of work in responding to this."
Granting leave to seek a judicial review, the judge agreed to list the case for a full, week-long hearing in September.
In a statement, Mr Ford said he would be "robustly defending the legal challenge".
"The levels of remuneration were set following detailed analysis; adjusted following consultation; and have been through the legislative process," he said.
"Given that this challenge is now before the courts, I will not be making any further public comment on the issue until the legal process is completed.
"However, my department will monitor the impact the withdrawal of services will have on the courts and they will engage with all sectors of the justice system to try to mitigate any impact on defendants, victims and witnesses."

The 2016 Visually Impaired and Blind National Tennis Championships take place at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton on 15-16 October.
The away team took the lead two minutes after half-time when Luke Leahy was able to slot home a James Wilson cross.
The lead was cancelled out when Pitman's powerful penalty beat the outstretching arms of Mark Gillespie.
Walsall captain Adam Chambers was lucky to stay on the pitch after his reckless tackle on Portsmouth's Adam May in the second minute and had the home fans calling for a red card.
Referee Brett Huxtable disagreed and only awarded a yellow. Both teams were attacking but both failed to break the deadlock.
Walsall could have taken an early lead but Leahy saw his 30-yard powerful shot fly wide of the goal.
Pompey had to wait until the 31st minute for their best effort of the first half.
The home side could have won it in the dying moments but Pitman failed to get his chance on target, sending the ball just over.

Inspectors who visited Leicester City Council found children were "at risk of harm" with managers "ineffective" in making improvements.
Earlier this month, the department boss was sacked and the assistant mayor resigned after problems came to light.
A new director has since been appointed and an independent improvement board established to monitor progress.
During an inspection in January, Ofsted found areas including children leaving care and children in need of help and protection were inadequate.
The Leicester Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) was also rated inadequate for failing to spot the authority's problems.
Inspectors said failures in leadership and a poorly managed restructure led to services deteriorating and a backlog of 293 cases.
The report said: "Too many children have experienced delay because of numerous changes of social worker or because they have not had a social worker allocated to them in a timely manner.
"As a result, children remain in potentially harmful and unsafe situations, at risk of neglect and emotional abuse for too long before plans are put in place to reduce the harm they may experience.
"Weak and inconsistent management oversight leaves poor practice unchallenged and children's needs unmet."
Problems began after a departmental reorganisation in May during which 30 out of 62 social workers left. That lead to increased workloads for those remaining and cases left unallocated.
City mayor, Sir Peter Soulsby said he only became aware of "the crisis" in December and, after an internal review, sacked department head Elaine McHale.
Assistant mayor, Vi Dempster, who had overall responsibility for the department, then stepped down.
She previously said: "As far as I was concerned the situation was fragile but it was being managed.
"Somebody must have known somewhere in the organisation that there was a backlog ..... and the situation was not as I was being told."
Ofcom said customers could avoid an awkward and long call to their operator and instead send a text. In turn, they will be sent switching codes.
The proposal means Ofcom's previously preferred option - a more simple one-stage process - is being dropped.
That system was more expensive and could have raised bills, it said.
The change of preferred plan marks a victory for mobile operators who would have faced higher costs under the alternative system. Ofcom said its research suggested customers would also prefer the new planned system.
At present, anyone who wishes to switch to a different mobile provider must contact their current supplier to tell them they are leaving.
Ofcom research suggests that, of those who have switched, some 38% have been hit by one major problem during the process. One in five of them temporarily lost their service, while one in 10 had difficulties contacting their current supplier or keeping their phone number.
Under previous plans, Ofcom wanted responsibility for the switch being placed entirely in the hands of the new provider. That would mean one call to a new provider by the customer.
The regulator has now concluded that such a system would be twice as expensive as its newly-preferred option of texting to switch.
They would text, then receive a text back, which includes a unique code to pass on to their new provider who could arrange the switch within one working day. Customers would be able to follow this process whether they were taking their mobile number with them or not.
Under the proposed rules, mobile providers would be banned from charging for notice periods running after the switch date. That would mean customers would no longer have to pay for their old and new service at the same time after they have switched.
A final decision will be made in the autumn.
Latest figures published last year showed that there were an estimated 47 million mobile phone contracts in the UK, and approximately 5.9 million people had never switched provider at all, nor considered switching in the previous year.

Hill's 1996 season was by far his most successful. He managed eight race wins and was never off the front row of the grid in qualifying on his way to his first World Championship, ahead of team-mate Jacques Villeneuve.
Along with fellow racing driver Nigel Mansell and boxer Sir Henry Cooper, Hill became the third person to win Sports Personality of the Year twice.
He retired from competitive racing after the 1999 season.
BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2015 is broadcast live from Belfast on Sunday, 20 December from 19:00 GMT on BBC One. Further coverage on BBC Sport's online platforms and Radio 5 live.
The painting, Odalisque in Red Pants, was recovered in Miami Beach in an undercover operation two years ago.
An American and a Mexican citizen were both arrested and convicted of theft.
The painting, which used to be on display in a museum in Caracas, was replaced by a fake but the switch took years to discover.
It was exchanged for a bad copy sometime between 1999 and 2002 but it was not until 2003 that officials at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas realised what had happened.
The original was found by US undercover agents in a hotel room in Miami.
"The work is in extraordinary condition, with only slight imperfections on the edges, but it is fine," said Joel Espinoza, an official with Venezuela's attorney general's office.
The painting was flown back and arrived in Venezuela on Monday where it will go on public display in two weeks time.
Painted in 1925, Odalisque in Red Pants has been valued at more than $3m.
It was bought by the Venezuelan government from a gallery in New York in 1981.
US based McCormick & Co is paying $4.2bn for the business, which includes French's mustard.

They're not your average men's best friends, but medical alert dogs.
Strutting their stuff were seven golden retrievers training to be diabetes alert dogs and a Spanish water dog set to become an allergy alert dog.
They were given the opportunity to familiarise themselves with an airport and its surroundings.
The dogs, aged between one and two-and-a-half years old, were walked through every area of the airport, from check-in, through security and onto an aircraft.
Diabetes alert dogs are trained to warn their owners when their blood sugar is low and if a hypo or hyper glycaemic episode is imminent.
This is important for owners who have lost their hypo-awareness and cannot feel an episode coming on.
Shortly after check-in, one of the dogs, Beau, did exactly as she was trained to do. She alerted her owner, Debbie Trimble, that her blood sugar level was low.
"I was sitting down. I wasn't feeling the best," said Debbie.
"She came over to me and put her paw on my knee several times and that was to let me know to check my blood sugars."
Debbie hadn't been aware that there was such a thing as a diabetes alert dog until she saw an advert in a magazine. But it has changed her life.
"I live by myself and I have very unstable diabetes," she said.
"I was reading an advertisement in the Assisi animal sanctuary magazine saying that there are diabetic alert dogs available, so I applied and about a year-and-a half later I got Beau.
"Beau and I went into training together and now she is a fully fledged alert dog.
"She lets me know when my blood sugars are going low and will alert me to that before they get dangerously low and she's been a great companion to me."
Debbie said she finds flying stressful.
"Stress does tend to make my blood sugars go low, so to have a dog gives me extra confidence and would enable me to do things that I wouldn't do without her," she said.
Northern Ireland Assistance Dogs train and provide medical alert dogs to adults with medical conditions such as diabetes.
One of the trainers, Judith Byrne, said a medical alert dog helps give their owners more independence.
"It allows them to have a normal life," said Ms Byrne.
"Diabetes, especially type-1, is a very difficult condition to live with.
"It means they can have their holiday without worrying about 'am I going to go low'? Especially if they are used to having a dog around and that dog gives them that security."
Tuesday's exercise was a chance for the animals to learn about airports and air travel, intended to help them acclimatise to the processes involved with taking a flight.
"The dog's partners want to go on holidays, their condition goes with them on holiday so the dog needs to go with them on holiday," said Mrs Byrne.
"It's a dry run; it familiarises the dog with everything that's happening, from checking in, to bags around the place, going through the machines at security, right through out on to the plane."
While many people may never have seen a medical alert dog on an aeroplane, Judith said it was becoming more common.
"Northern Ireland is a bit behind other places in that we're only starting to have assistance dogs here," she said.
"There have always been guide dogs but the other types of dogs are becoming more common here now.
The dogs are trained to alert their owner by nudging them in a way that would not be obtrusive - for example during a meeting.
"They're trained to nudge the person's leg, then they'll use their paw if they don't get a response.
"Then they'll maybe jump on the person and then they'll bark and alert other people.
"With diabetes in particular, you can lose consciousness and it can be very, very dangerous to go low."
"There is no rhyme, there is no reason to why it happens," said Judith.
"It's stress.
"Even the stress of going on holiday, stress of going on a flight can cause a hypo."
The papers, which date back to the mid-1500s, were discovered at the Dunham Massey estate near Altrincham.
They were found by a steward in a folio of letters kept in one of Dunham's picture stores.
An expert from the John Rylands Library confirmed the authenticity of both documents.
Both are addressed to George Booth Esq, the grandfather of Sir George Booth who built the first house at the National Trust site in 1600.
The letter from King Henry is dated 1543 and is a call to arms to landlords to recruit troops from their tenants to go into battle against the Scots.
Jane Seymour's document announces the birth of a son, the future King Edward VI, in 1537.
Queen Jane, Henry's third wife, died of complications from childbirth less than two weeks after Edward was born.
Katie Taylor, who made the discovery, said: "I was going through the letters in the folio, and these two signatures jumped out at me.
"I was almost sure that one was signed by King Henry VIII, and the other written on behalf of Queen Jane Seymour.
"Each of the letters is written on very thick and robust paper, and both have been kept flat and stored carefully away.
"These documents are older than any of our buildings at Dunham and almost the oldest things in our collection."
The letters are part of an exhibition to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year.
Det Garda Adrian Donohoe, was shot at the Lordship Credit Union in Bellurgan at about 21:30 GMT on Friday.
Irish police said he did not produce his weapon before he was shot.
The 41-year-old was one of two detectives on escort duty when an attempted robbery took place.
His colleague, Det Joe Ryan, has been severely traumatised but is otherwise unhurt.
Police are looking for four men in a dark-coloured Volkswagen Passat.
The area has been sealed off while police attempt to establish the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the Police Service of Northern Ireland has been informed.
Det Garda Donohue, who was married with two children, is the first member of the force to be shot dead on duty since the murder of Det Garda Jerry McCabe in 1996.
Det McCabe was also shot dead on escort duty outside a post office in Adare, County Limerick.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday afternoon, Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan said everyone in the police force was "deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of our colleague".
"My thoughts, and the thoughts of everyone in An Garda Siochana, and I'm sure the wider community are with the Donohue family," he said.
"We will be doing everything in our power to catch the perpetrators of this terrible murder."
The garda commissioner added that his wife Caroline and two of his brothers were also police officers and that Det Donohue was a "very popular, effective and efficient" member of the force.
Irish President Michael D Higgins said all Irish people "will be truly appalled" by this "dreadful crime".
Ireland's Minister for Justice Alan Shatter said people had respect for those working in the Irish police force.
"They will share my revulsion and horror that a garda (Irish police officer) has so tragically lost his life in the course of his duties."
Stormont Justice Minister David Ford said he and Mr Shatter had reinforced their commitment to work together against criminal gangs.
"I condemn this brutal murder of Garda Donohoe and offer my deepest sympathies to his family and fellow Garda officers," he said.
"Anyone with information should pass it to the appropriate authorities so these dangerous people can be brought before the courts."
The Garda Representative Association President John Parker said it was in "deep shock" following the killing.
"This dreadful news is what every police family fears," he said.
"At this time the wider garda family will be doing everything possible to support the late garda's relatives and loved ones, friends and colleagues."
The augmented reality game has been downloaded by millions of players, who are encouraged to venture into real-life places to hunt down virtual monsters.
But the game has proved controversial - with some users disregarding safety warnings, leading to car crashes, muggings, injury and even death.
Saudi Arabian clerics have called the game "un-Islamic". Indonesia has banned its military from playing the game, and a Cossack leader has said it "smacks of Satanism".
Police around the world have issued warnings to players in the hope of preventing further incidents.
So what do we know of the incidents so far?
On July 20, Jerson Lopez de Leon, 18, and his cousin Daniel Moises Picen, 17, were ambushed while playing the game south-east of Guatemala City.
Mr Lopez de Leon was killed and his cousin was seriously injured. Police found nearly 20 bullet casings at the scene but are unsure of the motive behind the killing.
On July 18, a man crashed into a parked police car in Baltimore, US, kept driving, and finally stopped at the end of the road after the police ran after him. Police say he admitted he was playing Pokemon Go at the time.
Baltimore Police say there were two other Pokemon Go related incidents just this week.
On July 19, a group of 20 teenagers stole a boat in efforts to catch Pokemon characters on a lake in Liverpool, UK.
The group abandoned the boat in the middle of the lake after the coastguard was called to investigate. The rescue team said users should take care not to put themselves and rescue services at risk.
A woman in New Jersey, US, had to be rescued by firemen after getting stuck in a cemetery tree while playing the game.
The fire chief issued a public safety warning, but saved the woman further embarrassment by not releasing her name.
On July 14, two men in California, US, fell up to 33m (108 ft) off a cliff after ignoring "no trespassing" signs while playing Pokemon Go.
Firefighters rescued the men and took them to a nearby hospital. They have not been charged with trespassing.
The draft Wales Bill offers more say over energy, transport and elections.
But Prof Richard Wyn Jones of Cardiff University said there were still uncertainties which could lead to court battles between Wales and Westminster.
He warned against "legislating in haste" for another failed settlement.
Prof Jones is one of the authors of a report assessing the UK government's devolution plans, to be published by Cardiff University and University College London on Monday.
In 2015, the same team warned proposals for a so-called "reserved powers" model of devolution for Wales were unlikely to be workable.
Reserved powers is a change in approach to devolution, by which responsibility is assumed to be devolved in all matters except those specified as staying at Westminster.
There have been complaints the list of powers kept back by the UK government is too long, but Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb has already said he is open to changes.
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme, Prof Jones said there were "some really big changes from the White Paper to the draft legislation".
"We think that these add to the problems and further undermine the aims associated with the reserved powers model which is to make things clearer, more robust and more stable.
"It creates lots of uncertainty and arguably lots of scope for Supreme Court challenges - we've had three of those of course since 2011.
Prof Jones said Wales "craved stability" but claimed the draft bill failed to deliver it.
"It would actually be good not to talk about the constitution for a few years but that's not going to happen if there's real uncertainty about the powers of the assembly.
"The idea of legislating in haste to establish another dispensation which we know will also fail seems like a waste of everybody's time."
Welsh Conservatives leader Andrew RT Davies said: "This is our opportunity to get devolution right and takes us towards a lasting settlement."

Manar moved to Britain just three weeks ago, when her family was relocated to Bradford in West Yorkshire, from a camp in Lebanon.
Her mum, Mariam, decided that Manar and her four sisters had no choice but to leave Syria after their neighbour's house was destroyed by a falling plane as war and fighting in the country got worse and worse.
But it's taken three years for them to begin their new life in the UK.
Speaking to Newsround reporter Ricky, Manar has been explaining how the war turned the country she loved upside down.
Higher income from taxes and relatively low growth will combine to create this effect, according to the the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Austerity will continue into the 2020s, after Chancellor Philip Hammond's decision to scrap a target of balancing the nation's books, it said.
The Treasury said it was committed to repairing Britain's finances.
Forecasts by Oxford Economics, which contributed to the report, estimate the UK economy will grow by 1.6% in 2017.
In 2018, growth in gross domestic product will slow to 1.3%, Oxford Economics said. Growth is expected to be dulled as a result of inflation prompted by the decline of the value of the pound after the EU referendum.
While a weaker pound is likely to improve the performance of manufacturers and exporters, higher costs for consumers will more than erase this gain, said the report.
Ahmed: Public finances and the shadow of Osborne
"Though the UK economy has continued to achieve solid growth, it has been almost entirely reliant on the consumer," said Andrew Goodwin, lead UK Economist at Oxford Economics and co-author of part of the report.
"With spending power set to come under significant pressure from higher inflation and the welfare squeeze, the consumer will not be able to keep contributing more than its fair share. Exports should be a bright spot, but overall a slowdown in GDP growth appears likely."
The UK's economy could be 3% smaller by 2030 than if Britain had voted Remain, according to forecasts in the IFS's annual Green Budget.
This annual analysis, ahead of next month's Budget, says spending on health, social care and benefits for sick or disabled people represents a particular risk to the public finances because it accounts for almost one third of government expenditure.
The report confirms that the period between 2009 and 2014 saw the slowest rate of growth in health spending in England since the mid-1950s.
And it argues that health budgets by the end of this decade will be over a billion pounds less than what is needed to cope with England's growing and ageing population, regardless of what are likely to be significant rises in demand for NHS care.
In a statement, the Treasury said: "The government is committed to repairing the public finances and living within our means so that we can build an economy that works for all.
"That has required some difficult decisions on spending, but we are determined to deliver efficient public services which provide maximum value for every pound of taxpayers' money."
Spending on public services dropped by 10% since 2010, the report said, after adjusting the figures for inflation.
To meet his target of eliminating the deficit during the next parliament, which is from 2020 to 2025, Mr Hammond will probably have to find a further £34bn in tax rises and spending cuts, extending austerity.
The report said £17bn of tax rises could be needed to contribute to closing the gap for government between outgoings and income.
The services unit was what one analyst described as a "shining light", while sales were robust for Apple's hardware, including iPhones and iPads.
Quarterly profit rose 12% to $8.7bn (£6.6bn). Revenues grew by 7% year-on-year to $45.4bn.
The news sent its stock surging more than 5% in after-hours trade.
Apple, which also forecast strong sales, is expected to release new and updated iPhones next month.
Apple chief executive Tim Cook was tight-lipped when it came to details on the new launch and said reports about the new phones may have caused some people to "pause" their purchases of the existing phones.
But "while that affects us in the short-term, it probably bodes well", he added.
Even with some people waiting for the new models, Apple said the number of iPhones sold in the quarter increased a solid 2% year-on-year, driven by strong demand in markets such as Latin America and the Middle East.
The growth lifted revenue from iPhones, which account for the bulk of the company's sales, by 3% to $24.8bn.
Apple also said the number of iPads sold climbed 15% year-on-year, while revenues from the product increased 2%. The rise follows the introduction of new models, as well as increased efforts to incorporate the tablets into operations at schools and in businesses.
Revenue from other devices, such as the Apple Watch, Apple TV and Beats products, jumped 23% year-on-year.
The one blemish on its results is China, where the company's revenues slipped 9.5% from a year earlier to slightly more than $8bn (£6.1bn).
Apple's flagship iPhone is losing market share to a slew of local competitors, while the company also faces challenges in dealing with China's strict internet censorship regime.
Mr Cook stressed the success of its services unit, which includes Apple Pay, the App Store and Apple Music. The division had sales of nearly $7.3bn during the three months to the end of June, a rise of 22% on the same period last year.
Apple Pay now accounts for almost 90% of mobile payment transactions around the world, said chief financial officer Luca Maestri. Paying accounts on the App Store are also on the rise, he said.
Geoff Blaber of CCS Insight described the services business as "the shining light".
"Not only is $7.3bn in revenue hugely significant in its own right, it underlines the ecosystem advantage it has over its competitors outside of China," he said.
Mr Cook also addressed the firm's decision to remove some products from its App Store in China, saying Apple had to abide by the law.
"We would obviously rather not remove the apps," he said. "We're hopeful that over time the restrictions we're seeing are loosened."
One of the big worries for investors - and Apple fans, you'd imagine - is that concern that the next iPhone, due in September, could be delayed due to production issues.
But judging by Apple's revenue forecasts for the rest of the year, it seems this will not be the case. It means we can expect anticipation for a big upgrade to the iPhone to step into overdrive, what with it being the device's 10th anniversary year.
In those 10 years, 1.2 billion iPhones have been sold, Mr Cook told investors today.
Apple relies on it heavily for its revenue, which some see as being a weakness in the company - but this quarter has also provided good news for investors when it comes to generating big profits in other areas.
For example, sales of the iPad range - which has been refreshed with a new Pro model - and better software - have grown for the first time in more than three years. The tablet, thought by many to be facing extinction, is stronger than ever: eight of the 10 best selling tablets in the world are made by Apple.
And Apple's services department - the App Store and Apple Music, mostly - had revenues of more than $7.2bn in this last quarter. That makes it, as Apple was delighted to point out today, the size of a Fortune 100 company in its own right.
The big blip, and it's been a blip for a while, was Apple's performance in China.
Mr Cook said the company's performance was in "a trough" and that they were headed to better performance in the region. He tried to put a positive spin by pointing out that the Mac, iPad and services had grown in the country - but acknowledged that performance in Hong Kong was dragging down its numbers.
Cheshire West and Chester councillor Matthew Bryan, 30, received a 12-month community order from Chester City magistrates for common assault in an altercation in Chester in February.
The Upton councillor had denied hitting the doorman at the Kuckoo bar.
A case against Bryan for obstructing a police officer during an anti-fracking protest was dismissed last month.
The Labour Party suspended the councillor when he was charged for the bar assault.
Bryan, of Cambrian Avenue, Vicars Cross, Chester, has stepped down as vice-chair of the committee responsible for alcohol licences.
He said his solicitor had lodged an appeal in the case.
Cheshire West and Chester Council said it would not be commenting but said he would remain on the council.
Bryan was elected to the authority in 2015, when control shifted from the Conservatives.
Following a dominant first half, Asante gave Solihull the lead five minutes after the break, scrambling home after a long throw by Connor Franklin.
It was 2-0 on 70 minutes, when Omari Sterling-James' tame shot from the right-hand side somehow found its way past Magnus Norman after the winger linked up with Jamey Osbourne.
Asante, who also scored a hat-trick against Maidstone on Saturday, wrapped up the points with two goals in the last 20 minutes.
First he latched onto Ryan Beswick's pass to finish well before completing the rout eight minutes from time after peeling away from the Southport backline.

Rimantas Karvelis, 56, was hit by a black Vauxhall Astra that failed to stop just before 18:45 BST on 24 October in London Road.
He was taken to a London hospital with serious injuries but died on 3 November, Kent Police said.
His family described him as a "magnificent dad" and "an amazing person".
Mr Karvelis had been on a one-month holiday to visit one of his two sons in hospital in Dartford.
His other son, Audrius Karvelis, who has travelled back from the US, said: "I can't believe he's gone, my magnificent dad, who came here to visit my brother and encourage him to fight Guillain-Barre syndrome at Darenth Valley Hospital.
"Our life has changed irrevocably - we are shocked and deeply saddened.
"He was an amazing person, a real example to others."
The Vauxhall Astra was later found abandoned in Grange Road.
Three people have been arrested and released on bail, Kent Police said.
But the Treasury says the changes will save over £4bn a year from 2016 and claims most working families will still be better off by 2017, as a result of the introduction of the National Living Wage and changes to income tax thresholds.
People have been contacting the BBC about the recent proposals by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Here is a selection for their comments:
@goonerfm tweets his alternative:
Leza Brumbill in Romsey, Southampton: I am a single mum with three boys.
I go to work 24 hours a week, and have to pay for childcare. I rely on my tax credits to top up my earnings.
The pressure is on me to provide a loving, secure, good standard of living for my children but cutting my taxes by nearly £1,000 is going to put more pressure on me to achieve this.
Rachel in Norfolk: I believe the cuts should go ahead. I live in a deprived area. My husband has a zero hour contract and only works a few hours a month. He primarily cares for our daughter. I work full-time.
Our net income is about £2,000 per month at best. We know families on tax credits who have higher net incomes than us but pay almost no tax and National Insurance.
These families can afford to smoke, drink, go clubbing and eat out yet we cannot. It is demotivating, going to work and knowing others earn more than you for doing less.
I have started to wonder why I don't take a less stressful job for a minimum wage and receive tax credits to top it back up.
Peter in Rochdale messaged on WhatsApp to express his concerns as a single parent:
Sharon Court in Portsmouth: We are a working family, but our income is low.
I have a degree and I do freelance work part-time as my children are in primary school.
Without tax credits we would almost certainly be plunged into debt. Raising the minimum wage is important, but it has no direct impact on me as I'm self-employed.
Lots of people like me are slipping through the cracks.
Martin Godfrey in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire: I have never claimed tax credits. I object strongly to a system that hands my hard-earned taxes to people who should be taking responsibility for their own lives and the decisions they make rather than relying on the state to look after them.
@anequal tweets his satisfaction at the House of Lords' rejection of the chancellor's plans:
Lee Dunlop in Williton, Somerset: My wife and I receive tax and child tax credits.
I work 25-30 hours per week as a school caretaker.
My pay is £8.08 per hour out of which I contribute towards a pension.
I am ex-army and in February 2013 received a kidney transplant. I am unable to work more hours. What are we supposed to do?
Stacey Sutton in Worcester: These tax cuts will be catastrophic for my family.
I have a six and one-year-old. Nursery fees are extortionate. I work 16 hours per week and my husband works in retail full-time - it's barely above the minimum wage.
I want to work. I don't want to just be sitting at home claiming off the state. Even with the tax credits we get now we are really struggling to buy food and pay the bills.
God knows how we are going to be able to afford Christmas!
Tony Dessauer in Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire: I had become complacent about the income from the tax credits.
I now deliver groceries 39 hours a week on a low wage. I am 63 and see nothing wrong with working.
I appreciate why there is an uproar about the cuts but I don't believe they should be the norm. People like me who are perfectly capable, should work.
The poorest earners and single parents need help definitely. We should all work if we need to and not rely on the state to pay us a wage.

The study, of nearly 200,000 people, found sections of DNA that control both height and heart health.
The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed every extra 2.5in (6.4cm) cut coronary disease incidence by 13.5%
The British Heart Foundation said short people should not be unduly worried and everyone needed a healthy lifestyle.
Coronary heart disease, which includes heart attacks and heart failure, is the leading cause of death in the UK.
More than 73,000 people die from the disease each year.
The idea that height plays a role in heart health was first proposed more than 50 years ago, but researchers did not know why.
Some thought the relationship was a consequence of other factors, such as poor childhood nutrition stunting height and also affecting the heart.
But the study at the University of Leicester suggests the answer lies deeper - inside our DNA.
They analysed 180 genes that have a known link to height.
The results showed that every 2.5in of height affected the risk by 13.5%, so the difference in heart risk between a five-footer and a six-footer would be around 64%.
Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, from the University of Leicester, told the BBC News website: "In the context of major risk factors this is small - smoking increases the risk by 200-300% - but it is not trivial.
"I wouldn't say shorter people need to take greater precautions, because if you're 6ft 1in (1.85m) you still need to stop smoking.
"This is only one of many factors affecting risk, everybody should be cautious."
The study also showed those genes cutting height were also increasing the amount of cholesterol and fats in the bloodstream.
The researchers believe some of the height genes may also be controlling both growth and blood vessel development.
"Understanding these pathways may lead to new treatments and that may be more valuable in the longer term," Prof Samani added.
But it is worth remembering it is not all good news being tall. as height increases the risk of cancer.
Prof Peter Weissberg, the medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "This study does not suggest that short people should be unduly worried about their health or that doctors need to focus on the health of shorter patients.
"Everyone, regardless of their height, should do everything in their power to reduce their risk of future heart disease by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and not smoking.
"Currently available health checks are designed to help you understand what measures you need to take to reduce your personal risk."
The NHS South West review into the way health authorities commissioned the private hospital services, is about to be signed off, the BBC understands.
The home was closed six months ago after Panorama filmed abuse of patients with learning disabilities.
The NHS said the claims about the report's contents were "misleading".
"It is premature to speculate on the findings of the NHS review which has not been finalised," a statement said.
The report is expected to raise concerns about the lack of detail in any contracts between primary care trusts and Castlebeck.
According to BBC West health correspondent Matthew Hill, the report said the contracts had no built-in mechanisms to say how quality could be assured.
Owner Castlebeck said it was "committed to learning lessons".
"We haven't had the opportunity to see the report at this stage so are not aware of its content."
They added they would be "acting on those lessons to make improvements to services wherever they are needed".
The programme showed patients at Winterbourne View being pinned down, slapped and taunted.
The report by the NHS will feed into the ongoing serious case review, which is being conducted by South Gloucestershire Council.
That is expected to be published in the New Year.
Thirteen people have been arrested and released on bail until 28 November in connection with the alleged abuse, pending further inquiries.
Winterbourne View's 24 patients were transferred from the hospital when it was closed, in June.
The report is also expected to raise concerns that families were unable to freely visit their relatives, and were restricted to seeing them in the reception area.
Steve Sollars, whose 22-year-old son Sam was in Winterbourne View for two years up to 2010, said he felt what was happening at the home was being "hidden".
"At first they were fine they were good. They would let us go onto the floor where he was and I'd get to know other patients there.
"And then all of a sudden, for no reason, it was stopped. There was no explanation. No reason, they just said you're not allowed on the ward," he said.
Mr Sollars said after he was banned from seeing him in the ward they would meet and he "didn't seem right in himself".
"We didn't know how he was being looked after. We know Sam could be messy but we didn't know what he was going to be like. We didn't know upstairs what was going on.
"So we feel now, after this programme, were things being hidden? Were there things they didn't want us to see?"
Mr Sollars said since Sam had moved he was "absolutely fantastic" - "improved so much that you wouldn't believe".
The low-energy collisions, part of preparations for the next round of experiments, began on Tuesday morning.
Proton beams circled the LHC and collided at an energy of 450 gigaelectronvolts (GeV) per beam.
The aim for this second run of the LHC, following its planned two-year shutdown for repairs and improvements, is to stage collisions at 7,000 GeV per beam.
A key milestone was reached on Easter Sunday when proton beams once again did full circuits of the LHC's 27km subterranean circle.
Now the two beams have been steered into each other - another important step in the gradual restart of the world's biggest particle accelerator.
According to the current schedule, collisions will first take place at those new, historic energies in the week commencing June 1st. Even those will only be used for calibration; "physics collisions" with usable results will start some time after that.
Excitement is building for physicists working at Cern - the European nuclear research campus near Geneva, Switzerland, which houses the LHC.
"These are the first colliding beams in the machine for over two years, and it brings home that physics collisions are close," said Prof Tara Shears from the University of Liverpool, who works on LHCb - one of four big experiments, spaced around the LHC's ring, where the collisions occur.
She said these early collisions are very valuable, even though they are only happening at injection energy, which means the LHC itself isn't adding any acceleration to the protons. They simply circulate and collide with the energy already delivered by the accelerators that feed protons into the main ring.
Instead of getting physics results, Prof Shears and her team use this early data to fine-tune their experiments. "This time, we used the data to make sure subdetectors are time-aligned with each other," she told BBC News.
"We have a shopping list of checks to do; checking the trigger, our luminosity calculation, the performance of each part of our experiment, and we'll work through this with these collision runs."
Some of the experiment teams released images illustrating Tuesday's first collisions. They show the various paths taken by debris from smashed-together protons, pieced together using data from some of the layers of detectors inside the experiments.
The LHC was the scene for the famous discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, towards the end of its first run. In its second tilt, researchers hope that the almost doubled energy levels will yield new insights beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

Rice took charge of the London theatre in January but has come in for fierce criticism, including for her use of sound and lighting technology.
Chief executive Neil Constable said the theatre was founded to stage plays in keeping with Shakespearean traditions.
That "should continue to be the central tenet of our work", he said.
In a statement, he said Rice's "mould-breaking work" had brought in "new and diverse audiences, won huge creative and critical acclaim, and achieved exceptionally strong box office returns".
He continued: "In breaking the mould, this latest season has generated productive debate concerning the purpose and theatrical practice of the Globe, in relation to the use of sound and lighting technology within our theatre spaces.
"Following much deliberation and discussion, the Globe board has concluded that from April 2018, the theatre programming should be structured around 'shared light' productions without designed sound and light rigging, which characterised a large body of The Globe's work prior to Emma's appointment."
The Globe, which opened in 1997, is a reconstruction of a Shakespearean theatre on London's Southbank.
Until Rice's arrival, actors have usually performed in "shared light", meaning the performers can see the audience, who feel more involved, as they would have done in Shakespeare's day.
Mr Constable added: "The Globe was reconstructed as a radical experiment to explore the conditions within which Shakespeare and his contemporaries worked, and we believe this should continue to be the central tenet of our work.
"Whilst the realisation of Emma's vision has been a vital part of our continuing experimentation as a theatre, we have now concluded that a predominant use of contemporary sound and lighting technology will not enable us to optimise further experimentation in our unique theatre spaces and the playing conditions which they offer."
In a statement, Rice said: "I have had a wonderful time creatively here at the Globe, but I respect the board's decision for its future direction."
The Times recently published an article headlined: "The Globe has been a success story - and Emma Rice is wrecking it."
In a review of a recent reworking of Cymbeline, set in modern gangland Britain, The Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish wrote: "I can't see what this version is doing at Shakespeare's Globe, or, if this form of hacking about with the canon is to be the new norm under artistic director Emma Rice, what the point of the Globe now is."
In a review of the same show, the Financial Times's Ian Shuttleworth asked: "One wonders - in what has already become a mantra during Emma Rice's first season at its helm - what the hell it's doing at the Globe."
But The Guardian's Lyn Gardner said Rice was "not ignoring tradition but boldly investigating how the theatre can remain relevant for modern audiences".
Rice recently said the way people have talked about her since she took over the theatre has made her "blood boil" because critics did not use the same language about men.
Rice replaced Dominic Dromgoole when she arrived from the innovative and acclaimed theatre company Kneehigh. She will leave the Globe following its 2017/18 winter season.

Back in 1903, scientists decided that the dinosaur that was known as Brontosaurus was too similar - because of it's long neck -to another species called the Apatosaurus.
So the Brontosaurus was declared extinct because they were both thought to be from the same species.
Now a team of experts from Portugal have decided they did show enough differences to be classed as two different species. So Brontosaurus is back!
The problems began at the end of the 1800s.
The general public were really interested in dinosaurs, and so people in America raced against each other to find new fossils and discover new species.
It was known as 'the bone wars', and fossil hunters were desperate to get their names in the record books by naming new dinosaurs.
On one expedition in the US, Othniel Charles Marsh and his team discovered fossils of what they thought were two long-necked dinosaurs.
They called one Apatosaurus, and one Brontosaurus.
But later, a museum in America decided those two fossils were actually the same species. And so Apatosaurus stuck...and Brontosaurus was no more.
Until today.
But even though it wasn't accurate, the Brontosaurus has been one of the most famous dinos on the planet.
It's one of the first names that comes up when people think of ancient creatures.
But why?
Historians think the name just stuck when there was so much public interest in dinosaurs over a hundred years ago.

York's city walls run for 2.1 miles (3.4km) and include five main bars (gateways) and 45 towers.
The current walls were largely built in the 13th and 14th centuries but include remains from earlier periods.
The council spends £100,000 a year on maintenance but said the additional funds were needed for major repairs.

The money will fund a five-year programme of works due to begin this year.
The work will include replacing steps at Monk Bar, improvement works at Micklegate Bar and repairs and restoration work at a number of the towers.
Councillor David Carr, Conservative leader of City of York Council, said: "York's city walls are the most complete and finest in England, making them one of our most treasured and significant historical assets.
"This is why it's so important we continue to invest in preserving and protecting them."

Schools and colleges in the city and neighbouring districts of Tamil Nadu were ordered shut on 12 November.
At least 280 people died in the floods, which brought normal life to a standstill and closed Chennai's international airport for six days.
The rains, the heaviest in 100 years, were blamed on climate change.
With the rains stopping last week and water levels receding, the city has been limping back to normal. A major clean-up operation is under way.

"Normal life was restored in a week but we decided to open schools and colleges only today because we wanted all the institutions to be cleaned and washed before the students came in," Vikram Kapur, chief of the city's municipality told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.
School examinations were postponed because of the floods, and even the city's university, one of the oldest in the country, had to put off semester examinations.
Surman, 30, was forced off at half-time during their goalless draw against Southampton on Saturday after colliding with Saints goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
"They can be quite nasty injuries, depending on the area and how big the damage to the ligament is," manager Eddie Howe told BBC Radio Solent.
"Whether it's a season-ending injury, we're not quite sure at this moment."
Bournemouth, unbeaten in their past four Premier League games, have eight games left and travel to Liverpool on Wednesday.
Howe admitted Surman's absence will be "a miss", but is confident other midfield options in his squad can fill the gap.
"I think every player's different and they bring their own influences to the team. They all have their different strengths," he said.
"Andrew for me is a very, very good controlling midfielder for us in terms of possession, does a lot of work that's unseen, is good defensively for us as well."
With the series tied at 1-1, the hosts were set 304 and Roston Chase made an unbeaten 101 - but they were all out for 202, Yasir Shah taking 5-92.
He claimed the final wicket with the last ball of the penultimate over.
It was Pakistan's eighth Test series in the Caribbean and marked the end of skipper Misbah-ul-Haq and record runscorer Younus Khan's Test careers.
Younus, 39, became the first Pakistan batsman to reach 10,000 Test runs in the opening match of the series and played 118 Tests.
Misbah, 43 at the end of this month, played 75 Tests - a record 56 as captain - with 26 wins, another Pakistan record.
After 14 wickets had fallen on the penultimate day, West Indies struggled to 93-6 in the 44th over. However, they were given hope when Jason Holder joined Chase at the crease and the pair had lifted their side to 151 when the captain fell to Hasan Ali in the 62nd over.
Chase, playing his 10th Test, recorded his third century with a boundary but then lost last man Shannon Gabriel, who edged on to his stumps when inexplicably attempting a slog to the boundary, to give spinner Yasir his 149th Test wicket and an 11th five-wicket haul in only his 26th match.
Official Scottish government statistics showed the country spent £14.8bn more than it raised in taxes in 2015/16, including a share of North Sea revenue.
That figure represented a 9.5% share of GDP, the report said - more than double the 4% figure for the UK as a whole.
Revised figures for the previous year put the Scottish deficit at £14.3bn.
The UK's spending deficit is £75.3bn.
The Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (Gers) figures estimated that Scotland's share of North Sea revenues fell by about 97% from £1.8bn in 2014/15 to £60m last year, reflecting a decline in total UK North Sea revenue.
But this fall was offset by Scotland's onshore revenues growing by £1.9bn.
Overall, Scottish public sector revenue was estimated as £53.7bn - the equivalent of £10,000 per person, and about £400 per person lower than for the UK as a whole.
£68.6bn
Total spend
£23.6bn Social protection
£12.2bn Health
£7.9bn Education
£2.8bn Policing
Meanwhile, total expenditure by the public sector was £68.6bn.
This was equivalent to 9.1% of total UK public sector expenditure, and £12,800 per person - which is £1,200 per person greater than the UK average.
The Gers figures for the 2014/15 financial year, which were published in March, estimated the Scottish deficit at £14.9bn, or 9.7% of GDP, including a geographic share of offshore tax revenue.
But the latest report revised that figure down to £14.3bn, or 9.1% of Scottish GDP.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon insisted the "foundations of the Scottish economy remain strong".
She added: "The lower oil price has, of course, reduced offshore revenues, with a corresponding impact on our fiscal position - this underlines the fact that Scotland's challenge is to continue to grow our onshore economy.
"However, Scotland's long-term economic success is now being directly threatened by the likely impact of Brexit."
The UK's government's Scottish secretary, David Mundell, said the figures "show how being part of the UK protects living standards in Scotland".
Mr Mundell said: "Scotland weathered a dramatic slump in oil revenues last year because we are part of a United Kingdom that has at its heart a system for pooling and sharing resources across the country as a whole.
"It is important that continues and the financial deal between the UK and Scottish governments, struck last year as part of the transfer of new tax and welfare powers to Holyrood, means real security for Scotland."
Douglas Fraser: What do the GERS figures tell us about Scotland's finances?
This approach to estimating how much Scots pay in tax, and how much they benefit from spending at all levels of government, goes back to the early 90s.
Conservative ministers in the Scottish Office thought it would help inform the debate on devolution, or at least it would help them make their case against a Scottish Parliament.
The numbers would show, they thought, how much more Scotland gained from the Treasury than it sent south in tax revenues.
That was one of those times when the oil price was low.
Seven years earlier, it was very high and oil revenues were like a gusher.

The public accounts committee (PAC) was told Mick McGuire and Chris Munday were no longer able give evidence about the proposed Circuit of Wales.
Another official will go instead. One PAC member called it "outrageous".
They were to face questions about a critical report into more than £9m of taxpayer funding for the circuit.
Both officials are playing a leading role in the Welsh Government's handling of the project.
Mr McGuire, the government's sector and business director, and Mr Munday, deputy director for business solutions, were due to appear alongside James Price, the deputy permanent secretary for the economy, on Monday afternoon.
Instead, Mr Price will be accompanied by Tracey Mayes, head of governance and compliance in his department.
The following morning, cabinet ministers are expected to discuss a crucial decision about the scheme.
Developers are seeking a £210m government guarantee which will enable building work to start at the site near Ebbw Vale.
After repeated delays, the proposal has undergone rigorous scrutiny as part of a due diligence process ordered by ministers.
In a letter to the committee, Mr Price said: "With that in mind, I am sure you will appreciate the priority focus for Mr McGuire and Mr Munday must be ensuring the completion of the rigorous due diligence process and associated work so that cabinet has the right information to consider the project comprehensively, and takes its decision in a thoroughly informed way."
The Circuit of Wales tweeted on Wednesday that the due diligence had been completed and a decision was expected before the end of the month.
Plaid Cymru committee member Neil McEvoy said: "There are serious issues of process and legitimacy here, where politicians and officials feel able to dismiss the Welsh Assembly public accounts committee.
"It really is outrageous.
"With £9m already spent, the public has the right to expect these officials to show up and answer questions."
Although it would be privately funded, the project has received Welsh Government grants and loans worth £9.3m.
In April the Auditor General for Wales said there were "significant shortcomings" in the way ministers managed the risk to the taxpayer.

The victory helped United stay seven points clear at the top of the table.
Ferguson said: "Some of our defending after [our lead was halved] was a bit erratic and even desperate at times.
"But we managed to get through it. The name of the game is winning. There are moments where you have to defend. This was one of them."
United had opened up a two-goal lead through Robin van Persie and Nemanja Vidic before Daniel Sturridge pulled one back for the visitors.

And Sturridge failed to convert a late chance as the home side held on for a win which maintained their advantage over second-placed Manchester City, who later won 2-0 at Arsenal.
"I would have taken that score [against Liverpool] before the game," said Ferguson.
"The first-half performance, and until we scored the second goal, was absolutely brilliant.
"It was as good a performance as we have had for a long time and we should have been three or four up, but when they got their goal they got inspired by it.
"Their supporters got going and it was hard work after that. I am just glad we won the match."
United are now 24 points ahead of eighth-place Liverpool, and before the game Ferguson had claimed he did not know where the Merseysiders were in the table.
But he added: "Winning against Liverpool is important. It doesn't matter where you are in the league.
"Manchester United-Liverpool games are fantastic challenges.
"They are the two most successful teams in the country. Today hopefully those three points will be very important."
The Lady Cilento Hospital in Brisbane said the year-old girl will not be released "until a suitable home environment is identified".
The daughter of asylum-seeker parents suffered serious burns at an immigration camp on Nauru island.
The government says its controversial offshore detention policy is necessary.
It is aimed at preventing asylum seekers trying to reach Australia on unseaworthy boats.
Ellen Roberts, a spokeswoman for campaign group GetUp, said protesters were "standing in solidarity" with the baby's parents - who are in Brisbane - and the hospital.
"We are calling on [Prime Minister] Malcolm Turnbull to do the right thing and let the family stay," she told Reuters.
More than 500 people are currently held on Nauru, a tiny island in the South Pacific.
In September, a senate committee report said conditions there were "not adequate, appropriate or safe" and that allegations of rape and abuse should be investigated.
The centre's facilities have reportedly improved and asylum seekers are now allowed to freely move around the island.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has not commented on the girl's specific case.
"All decisions relating to a patient's treatment and discharge are made by qualified clinical staff, based on a thorough assessment of the individual patient's clinical condition and circumstances," the hospital said in a statement.
Any child who is taken to hospital is only released if a suitable environment exists, it said.
The baby suffered the burns after boiling water was accidentally spilled on her in the tent she lived in with her parents, the ABC reports.
Earlier this month, the High Court upheld the constitutionality of offshore detention, allowing the government to deport 267 people, including 37 babies, who were brought to Australia for medical treatment.
Their cases have sparked national protests under the banner #LetThemStay.
Ten Anglican and Uniting church leaders offered their churches as a refuge for those facing deportation.
Victoria's leader Daniel Andrews also wrote to Mr Turnbull offering to settle the asylum seekers in his state, a position that received the support of several other state premiers.
Mr Turnbull has said deportations of the group will be decided on a case by case basis and that they will be treated "with compassion".
The People's Pier project, which is also looking at Hastings Pier in East Sussex, is a joint scheme between the universities of Bristol and Brighton.
The £48,000 Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded study started this month and will run for 10 months.
Clevedon Pier in North Somerset is the only operational Grade I-listed pier in the country.
Dr Olu Jenzen, senior lecturer at Brighton's College of Arts and Humanities, and lead researcher, said it was important to "gain an updated understanding" of 21st Century pier culture.
"Piers are more than just metal and wood, more than treasured architectural landmarks," she said.
"They are lived experiences shaped by the mood of the time and the socio-cultural make-up of their location."
Dr Jenzen said she hoped the study would highlight "innovative ways" of using piers as urban community spaces, and to empower local communities.
Dr Nick Nourse of Bristol's department of history, who is also involved in the project, said it was important to preserve Clevedon Pier's "unique and varied" history.
"The people of Clevedon are right to be proud of their pier; it is a beautiful reminder of Victorian engineering and the then new concept of leisure," he said.
"And although the pier itself remains largely as it was when it opened in 1869, leisure, and how the pier has accommodated leisure activities, has changed many times since."
The Clevedon Pier and Heritage Trust raised the funds to help rebuild and repair the 1869 pier between 1984 and 1998 after its partial collapse in 1970.
Hastings Pier, which opened in 1872, was badly damaged in a fire in 2010. It is due to reopen in 2016 following a £14m redevelopment.

We'll have to wait until the autumn for the answer, when The Great British Bake Off begins afresh on Channel 4.
There has been some heated reaction to its new line-up, which is perhaps only to be expected for a show that revolves around cooking.
What can't be denied is the show will have some interesting new ingredients when it returns later this year.
Here's everything you need to know about the show's new stars - and what people have been saying about them.
Comedian and actor Fielding is best-known for surreal BBC sitcom The Mighty Boosh, which ran for three series between 2004 and 2007.
The 43-year-old played a number of outlandish characters in the cult comedy hit, among them nominal hero Vince Noir, the malevolent Hitcher and merman Old Gregg.
He made frequent appearances as a panellist on music quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks, eventually becoming a team captain in 2009.
He is also a familiar face on Channel 4 thanks to his appearances in Nathan Barley, The IT Crowd and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.
According to the Daily Mail, the "eccentric" performer is "known for his 1970s-style glam rock outfits" and "trippy" brand of comedy.
The paper also highlights his history of "extravagant" drug-taking while conceding he has "calmed down" in recent years.
The Guardian describes Fielding as "the wild card in the new Bake Off pack", while the Telegraph said Channel 4 had "served up a surprise" by recruiting him.
The Times, meanwhile, points out that the sometime artist "held his first exhibition as a patissiere with Soho" - suggesting perhaps a prior affinity with cakes.
Fielding's new role has been welcomed by former Bake Off contestant Selasi Gbormittah, who said the comedian was "very funny".
"It's what new bakers need in the tent," he told Good Morning Britain on Friday. "I'm very excited about it."
Radio 1 breakfast host Nick Grimshaw also expressed his approval, while admitting Fielding was "a really random choice".
"We love Noel Fielding because he is very funny and very weird," the DJ told his listeners earlier.

The columnist and novelist has written many cookbooks, most famously Leith's Cookery Bible.
The 77-year-old was a judge on the BBC's Great British Menu for 11 years before stepping down last year.
Leith, who became an OBE in 1989 and a CBE in 2010, is a former chair of the Children's Food Trust.
Her new role as Bake Off judge was widely trailed after it emerged she was interviewed by Channel 4 in January.
According to The Guardian's Mark Lawson, Leith is "about as near to a like-for-like Mary Berry replacement as it would be possible to find".
He does suggest, though, that "her slightly spikier style" will make her pairing with Paul Hollywood more "spice-and-spice" than "salt-and-sugar".
Comedian Toksvig was a member of Cambridge University's famous Footlights theatre group and wrote the society's first all-female show.
She started out in children's television before moving on to panel shows like Call My Bluff, Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You.
Her hosting duties include nine years as chair Radio 4's The News Quiz and her current role as host of the BBC's QI.
The openly gay 58-year-old was made an OBE in 2014 and co-founded the Women's Equality Party the following year.
The Telegraph's Michael Hogan called Toksvig and Fielding "a random pairing which could rise like a well-whipped souffle or sink like poorly proved dough".
Slate, meanwhile, said Toksvig would "maintain the tradition of having at least one very funny lesbian on the set at all times" - a reference to Sue Perkins, the show's previous co-host.

The man was stopped near the border with Laos after avoiding a police checkpoint.
The driver told police he had been paid 15,000 baht ($490; £300) to transport the cubs.
Thailand is one of the centres of the illegal trade in tigers. Tiger body parts are prized in many parts of Asia for their reputed medicinal properties.
The cubs were found packed into eight plastic crates.
The driver now faces the possibility of a four-year jail term or a fine of 40,000 baht ($1,300; £800) on wildlife-smuggling charges.
The animals are now in the care of wildlife officials.
Only six subspecies of tiger remain in the wild, with fewer than 1,000 tigers thought to be left in each group.
Earlier this year, heads of police and customs from 13 countries with wild tiger populations agreed to tighten controls and improve cross-border co-operation to combat smuggling.
It was not only the brutality of the Ulster Freedom Fighters attack - the lawyer was shot 14 times in front of his wife and three children whilst the family sat at the dinner table in their north Belfast home - it was also the high profile of Pat Finucane and the immediate suspicion that elements in the security forces had colluded with his loyalist paramilitary killers.
Mr Finucane represented clients, such as IRA hunger strikers, and families involved in shoot to kill allegations against the police.
The year before he died he defended the former hunger striker Pat McGeown, charged with helping organise the murder of two Army corporals who drove into an IRA funeral cortege in west Belfast.
Mr Finucane succeeded in getting the charges against his client dropped.
However it's claimed a double agent passed a photograph of the solicitor taken outside the court to the UFF gunman who carried out his murder.
The double agent was Brian Nelson, who compiled information on potential targets for the UFF whilst at the same time working for British army intelligence.
The gunman was Ken Barrett, who later told the BBC Panorama programme he had carried out 10 loyalist murders.
Barrett was found guilty of Pat Finucane's murder in 2004.
Two years previously he told Panorama's John Ware, in a secretly recorded conversation, that a police officer had suggested he target the lawyer.
"To be honest," claimed Barrett, "Finucane would have been alive today if the peelers hadn't interfered... solicitors were kind of way taboo, if you know what I mean? We used a lot of Roman Catholic solicitors ourselves, they were taboo.. you didn't touch them."
Admitting his murder, the UFF claimed the lawyer was an IRA officer.
Three of his brothers were in the IRA, but the Finucane family has always insisted the solicitor was not an IRA member and had been targeted purely because of his dedication to his legal work.
The solicitor's son, Michael Finucane, described the claim as "an insult" saying his killers' "limited mentality did not stretch to differentiating between the role of the lawyer and the offence suspected of the client".
Charges related to the murder had also previously been brought against another loyalist and Special Branch agent William Stobie, suspected of supplying the guns used in the attack.
The case against Stobie collapsed in 2001, but he didn't live long to enjoy his freedom - within weeks loyalist gunmen shot him dead.
Although the former Metropolitan police chief Lord Stevens found there was collusion in the murder, Pat Finucane's family always insisted only a full inquiry would determine how high up the chain of command responsibility ran.
The case featured in the negotiations on restoring devolution at Stormont and Tony Blair promised to set up an inquiry.
However the Finucane family believed the law under which it would operate - the 2005 Inquiries Act - would enable the government to interfere and suppress unwelcome details.
The Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson engaged in talks with the family to try to resolve the stand off.
However, David Cameron's offer of a senior lawyer to review the case papers, far from resolving the matter appears to have only deepened the rift between the Finucanes and Number 10.
It follows complaints about "degrading slogans and imagery" on hire vehicles primarily aimed at young backpackers.
Queensland passed the laws on Tuesday night, meaning vehicles can be deregistered if owners do not remove slogans deemed to be offensive.
The complaints were chiefly directed at a company called Wicked Campers.
The government has criticised the company, which is based in Queensland, for using the adverse publicity to promote its business.
"Offensive advertising includes advertising that uses obscene language, that is degrading, that deals inappropriately with sex or violence or very importantly that discriminates against or vilifies any section of the community," said Minister for Main Roads Mark Bailey.
The opposition's anti-domestic violence spokeswoman, Ros Bates, said she was appalled by the slogans.
"[The slogans] include 'it's easier to apologise than ask for permission', and 'I can already imagine the gaffer tape on your mouth'... and for any member of our society these slogans are sickening and perverse," Ms Bates said.
"These vans promote rape, encourage sexism and incite violence and control."
The new powers can be enforced if slogans are not removed within 14 days of a complaint being upheld by the nation's Advertising Standards Bureau.
The change comes after more than 125,000 people signed a petition calling for Wicked Campers to take down its slogans.
"I just feel like it's wallpapering our lives, this idea, this obsession with sex, and creating a sex-obsessed male and a victim female, a hyper-sexualised 'asking for it' female," Paula Orbea told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation after starting the petition in 2014.
Mr Bailey said he hoped other Australian states would pass similar laws to ban sexist and offensive adverts.
Ms Bates said she was concerned Wicked Campers would simply relocate interstate.
The BBC has contacted Wicked Campers for comment.
Sixty-five per cent of players in Cameroon lack such a contract, the worst figure out of 54 nations surveyed by global union FIFPro.
"When you sign a contract, you need to get a copy of your contract - otherwise, you have no rights," said Geremi Njitap.
The former Cameroon international, who was elected president of the players' union in November, fears the issue could aid match-fixing and player trafficking.
"It is not fair that footballers sign contracts but don't have (a copy of) their contracts," said the former Real Madrid and Chelsea midfielder.
"They have no legal protection. This is one of the major problems for these players.
"This is one of my priorities - to solve this problem."
Close behind Cameroon when it comes to the number of players lacking a contract copy are Ivory Coast, home to the reigning African champions, and Gabon - with 60% of players in both countries saying they suffer in this way.
Tuesday's FIFPro survey underscored a raft of problems for the African game, including widespread contract issues, late payments, job insecurity as well as the threat to players of abuse and match-fixing.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Over half the players based in Africa reported payment delays, a figure that rises to 96% in Gabon, the country which will host January's Africa Cup of Nations.
In Cameroon, it is 85% and Geremi is concerned by the implications.
"When you don't pay salaries, there will be attempts by those who try to corrupt players to influence the result of the game," continued the 37-year-old.
"I'm talking about match-fixing. It's important that players have their salaries. Otherwise, they will be tempted.
Once you are not playing any more, a club president will try to sign another player - which is not fair
"Most of the players have responsibilities. Their families count on them."
In DR Congo, where nearly nine in 10 players said they did not have a written contract, 56% of players claimed they were aware of match-fixing in the league.
The country also suffered the highest number of attacks on players by other players and fans.
Ghana, meanwhile, reported the greatest incidents of physical abuse by club officials.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, one local player said this was a result of attempted extortion in a country reporting the lowest rate of pay in the survey.
"Yes, I have seen such a thing - players attacked by management, attacked by a coach - because in Ghanaian football, the financial rewards are low, so everybody thinks about themselves," he said.
"If a player has a contract with the club, a lot of people in the club - like the management, and maybe some of the coaches - would like to get something from the player because they have a contract.
"And if they don't get anything, they will start attacking them."
Ghana are four-time winners of the Nations Cup and have appeared at every World Cup since 2006, but the national squad is regularly composed of players outside the domestic league.
Both the anonymous player and Geremi were also troubled by the tendency of African clubs to overlook players' welfare once they get injured.
They say that instead of offering support, clubs simply look to find replacements.
"At most clubs in Ghana, if you are injured you are forgotten," says the Ghanaian. "They will need a new player and if that player is lucky to play well, then you are out - finished."
"Unfortunately, this is the case in most of Africa," says Geremi.
"Once you are not playing any more, a club president will try to sign another player - which is not fair.
"For the owners, it is like paying someone who is not doing anything. They forget to respect the contract, which is not normal. This is the kind of issue we fight every day."
The Cameroonian believes that the raft of problems in Africa's leagues pushes many to travel to Europe, where they often fail to succeed.
"When you go to Europe, you see these players on the streets so if you organise the leagues well in Africa, you will not see a lot of younger players in Europe without teams," added two-time Nations Cup winner Geremi.
Finding Your Feet are holding their first training session at the club's Firhill complex in Glasgow.
Amputee Scots have previously had to travel more than 150 miles for a game of football.
Other SPL clubs, including Rangers and Aberdeen, are also interested in setting up dedicated amputee teams.
The training session was open to anyone with upper or lower amputations or limb deficiencies. The project is being backed by the Scottish Football Association.
Earlier this month amputee Brian Murray organised an awareness day at his local football club Annan Athletic in Dumfries and Galloway.
Brian, 46, who currently travels from Annan to Liverpool to play for Everton Amputees, welcomes the move by Finding Your Feet and will join the coaches at Partick Thistle to assist with training.
The Glasgow-based charity was set up two years ago by Corinne Hutton, who was left a quadruple amputee after losing her hands and feet to septicaemia in June 2013.
The charity aims to provide a support network to amputees and those with limb deficiency through emotional, financial and practical support and through the creation of opportunities in sport and recreation.
Since her illness, Corinne, 44, from Lochwinnoch in Renfrewshire, has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to help other amputees.
She recently became the first female quadruple amputee to conquer Ben Nevis and is due to become the recipient of the UK's first double hand transplant later this year.
Partick Thistle already runs other disability football training sessions including frame football and sessions for those with difficulties in mobility and co-ordination.
It is hoped that amputee teams can be created at junior and senior level and that other clubs will follow suit, before a Finding Your Feet league can be created.
Ms Hutton said: "Finding Your Feet is trying to help amputees back to all sorts of activities and football is very popular in the central belt. Our intention is to bring it to Scotland in order to create another opportunity for amputees to access sport.
"Partick Thistle is our local club so seemed the obvious choice as a partner in taking this forward and we were thrilled when they embraced the opportunity."
Paul Kelly, manager of Partick Thistle Community Trust, said: "We want to awaken an idea in the minds of people who don't consider football to be a lifestyle option for them, so when Finding Your Feet approached us about amputee football there was never a doubt we wanted to be involved.
"We have put a business plan together for the next three years which will include weekly coaching sessions as well as sending coaches for certificates on training people with disabilities.
"We're all looking forward to working with Finding Your Feet to make amputee football a reality in Scotland."
David McArdle, disability development officer at the Scottish Football Association, said: "The Scottish FA are committed to help and create opportunities for everyone to access the national sport and experience the joy and friendship football can bring.
"Amputee Football is the next step on this journey and we are delighted to be involved in such an exciting project to allow amputee participants the opportunity to have fun and get a kick of a ball."
The Ibrox side suffered their first Premiership defeat of the season at Celtic Park on Saturday.
"The whole media aspect up here is so negative," said Warburton, whose team host Ross County on Saturday.
"I'm not understating the importance of the result but no-one has died. We've got to get on with it."
Warburton referred to press and television coverage and compared it to his view of the way the Scottish game is reported in England.
His side have won two of their five Premiership games this season, dropping points to Hamilton and Kilmarnock before the defeat at Celtic Park last weekend.
The result left Celtic four points ahead of Rangers, and two clear of Hearts, at the top of the table and with one game in hand.
"I'm an Englishman working in Scotland and I find it depressing that some of the comments, some of the programmes on TV, are so negative," Warburton said.
"One of the comments that irritated was, 'Go to your friends on TalkSport for a positive outlook'.
"I'd rather have a positive outlook. I'm not going to say you enjoy losing but I'd rather have a positive outlook on football than a negative one.
"Too many aspects of the Scottish media are negative and it would be good for everybody in the game if there was a little bit positivity when the situation arises. I'm told it's part of the culture. I can't understand it.
"Before Saturday I heard TalkSport say, 'Good start to the season. Unbeaten. Things are shaping up well'. But the Scottish version is, 'Just drawn with Kilmarnock - disaster'. It's two completely different perspectives on the game."
Rangers face Ross County at home on Saturday, but face trips to Aberdeen, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Hearts in their next five games.
"People keep asking me if I'm okay. Of course we're okay," Warburton said.
"We are professionals. The result hurt so many people, none more so than us, but we have to get on with it."
The maximum this year was 14.5 million sq km, said the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
This is the lowest since 1979, when satellite records began.
A recent study found that Arctic sea ice had thinned by 65% between 1975 and 2012.
Bob Ward of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics said: "The gradual disappearance of ice at the poles is having profound consequences for people, animals and plants in the polar regions, as well as around the world, through sea level rise."
The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said the maximum level of sea ice for winter was reached this year on 25 February and the ice was now beginning to melt as the Arctic moved into spring.
The amount measured at the end of February is 130,000 sq km below the previous record winter low, measured in 2011.
An unusually warm February in parts of Alaska and Russia may have contributed to the dwindling sea ice, scientists believe.
Researchers will provide the monthly average data for March in early April, which is viewed as a better indicator of climate effects.
Nasa scientist Walt Meier said: "The amount of ice at the maximum is a function of not only the state of the climate but also ephemeral and often local weather conditions.
"The monthly value smoothes out these weather effects and so is a better reflection of climate effects."
Analysis by David Shukman, Science editor, BBC News
The Arctic Ocean freezes every winter and much of the sea-ice then thaws every summer, and that process will continue whatever happens with climate change. Even if the Arctic continues to be one of the fastest-warming regions of the world, it will always be plunged into bitterly cold polar dark every winter. And year-by-year, for all kinds of natural reasons, there's huge variety of the state of the ice.
So what does this new record for the lowest level of winter ice actually mean?
For a start, it does not automatically follow that a record amount of ice will melt this summer. More important for determining the size of the annual thaw is the state of the weather as the midnight sun approaches and temperatures rise. But over the more than 30 years of satellite records, scientists have observed a clear pattern of decline, decade-by-decade.
So at some point this century the summers are on course to be clear of ice, opening up new shipping lanes, making it easier to access the region's oil and gas and possibly also altering the path of the jet stream that drives our weather. So the matter of when all this might happen is the subject of intense research.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the world, researchers are puzzling over the growth of sea-ice around parts of Antarctica. Overall, there is a fall in the global total of sea-ice but with lots of questions about its pace.
Commenting on the data, Alexander Shestakov, director of the WWF Global Arctic Programme, said: "This is not a record to be proud of.
"Low sea ice can create a series of reactions that further threaten the Arctic and the rest of the globe."
The 30-year-old, who joined Bayern in a £24m move from Real Madrid in 2009, was out of contract in 2015 but is now tied to the club until he is 33.
"There can be no better indication of how happy my family and I feel to be here," said the former Chelsea winger.
The Netherlands international has 10 league goals for Bayern this season.
He looks set to win a third title with Bayern, with Pep Guardiola's side currently 23 points clear, and has already won the league in England, Spain and his homeland.
"I'm delighted we've now signed the new contract and I'll continue pursuing trophies with FC Bayern," added Robben, whose scored the winner in last season's Champions League final at Wembley.
Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "Arjen has proved his worth to FC Bayern. He is a fundamentally important member of the team and will now remain so for the years to come."
Carol Conway, 52, fell 20ft (6m) at Pontcanna House Care Home, Cardiff, in 2012 as she reversed May Lewis, 96, in her wheelchair.
Owner Dr Nasik Al-Mufti was fined £100,000 in August for breaching health and safety regulations.
Care Council for Wales said her actions were not deliberate or reckless.
Mrs Lewis, who had been at the home for just five days, broke 52 bones and died.
Mrs Conway, who had been a carer for 29 years, broke her back, ribs, left foot and punctured her lung and was left unconscious.
"I will be in pain for the rest of my life. I can't do anything like I used to," she said.
"The money doesn't mean a thing to me. The most precious thing we have is our health.
"I know I am very lucky to be alive but life has changed so much because of that terrible accident. I take 32 tablets a day and I am never free from pain.
"I still have terrible nightmares thinking of May and her family. I am constantly plagued by that terrible day.
"Poor May Lewis should have died peacefully in her sleep surrounded by her loved ones; not with 52 broken bones at the bottom of a dark, damp lift shaft."
Mrs Conway had worked at Pontcanna House for three years.
Dr Al-Mufti was the joint owner of the care home with her husband when in early 2012 there were problems with the home's platform lift.
A Care Council for Wales hearing in Cardiff last month was told an engineer had advised the doors on the second floor could not be used, but staff routinely used an emergency key to override it when they did not open.
The hearing was told Dr Al-Mufti "acquiesced but did not encourage" the use of the emergency key override.
But only weeks after a diagnosis that threatened to shatter his world, the Englishman has made an astonishing recovery and is back playing.
Bussey, 24, was shocked as doctors decided to do tests on a lump in his throat when he had a viral infection.
"You hear the word and you think the worst," the loose forward, 24, told the BBC Radio 5 Live Rugby League podcast.
"At first, they didn't know what it was. Then after further tests, they confirmed it was cancerous.
"I didn't really take it as well as I could. I kind of bottled it up inside. I was scared.
"I couldn't comprehend what they were saying. I was thinking: Is my career over? Am I going to die?
"I was pretty scared at the time for my immediate future and my long-term future."
Bussey, who began his career with Featherstone and then moved to London Broncos before joining Toronto, had an operation in May to have the thyroid glands taken out, and surgeons told him the cancer had been removed.
A month later he was back playing rugby league, resuming his role as one of the Toronto's key players as they push for an history-making promotion from League One at the first attempt.
"I have to take drugs every day for the rest of my life. But I'd rather take the drugs than have the cancer," Bussey said.
When he was first diagnosed he kept his ordeal from his parents, his girlfriend and his team-mates.
"I only told my brother because I speak to him about everything," he said. "But I didn't want them to worry about me. It was to protect them. I was putting on a brave face for them.
"Then I finally broke down at one of our training sessions when I was talking to one of the physios.
"The boys and the coaching staff couldn't have been better. I keep them in the loop now because they are like family to me.
"The doctor who performed the surgery on me said it's very unlikely to happen to someone like me. It's normally the over-50s - and normally females over 50 - who contract something like this."
He now has a permanent reminder of his cancer scare - a 10cm scar across his neck as a result of the operation.
"It looks like somebody has tried to cut my throat," he said. "I've had a few comments on it. I actually don't mind it. At first I was trying to put oil on it every day to try to get the scar down, but now I'm bit proud to have it.
"Every time I look at it, I just think about what was in me and now its gone and I've battled it.
"Getting back on to the field just felt great."
It is likely that Bussey's eventful year will end in promotion to the Championship - one tier away from Super League.
The Canadians - rugby league's first transatlantic side - have only lost once this season in League One. Last weekend's 68-0 win at Workington put them three points clear at the top with only five games remaining.
Four of those matches will be at home at the Lamport Stadium in Toronto in an atmosphere described as 'unique' by Bussey.
"It's crazy," he said. "The matches themselves, I can't explain the experience, it's totally different.
"The crowd come in all the way through the game and afterwards they stay around. There's a DJ there, there's music going to get the crowd on their feet.
"They are getting used to the game now and they're picking up on what's good and what's bad and when there's a big hit they go crazy.
"I can only see it going forward in Canada. It's great."
Thomas Manning, 64, received the donated organ three years after his penis was amputated due to penile cancer.
He is the third man worldwide to have had the experimental surgery performed.
The patient is expected to regain normal urination and sexual function in the next few months.
The 15-hour operation took place earlier this month at Massachusetts General Hospital and involved more than 50 doctors from many departments including urology, psychiatry, plastic surgery, and several others.
Although penile injuries are not always fatal, "the psychological aspects of such an injury can be overwhelming" hospital officials said in a press release.
Mr Manning hopes that by speaking publicly about his experience he will remove the stigma of genital injury and inspire other men to remain hopeful about recovery.
"Don't hide behind a rock", he told the New York Times who first reported the story.
Another patient at the hospital is due to receive a transplant as soon as a donor becomes available. His penis was destroyed in a car accident.
The first successful penis transplant was performed in South Africa in 2015 on a man who had complications following a traditional circumcision ceremony. He later went on to father a child.
In 2006 a Chinese man who received the world's first penis transplant decided after two weeks to reverse the transplant.
Doctors removed the donated penis following a "severe psychological problem" experienced by him and his wife.
Dr Curtis Cetrulo, who led the surgical team in Boston, says that performing penis transplants may help to prevent suicides and could even be considered "life-saving".
He also said that doctors hope to use the technique on wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Victims of penis and genital injuries, known as genitourinary injuries, usually suffer in private with depression and embarrassment - something that Mr Manning hopes he can change following today's announcement.
In the hospital statement, Mr Manning wrote: "Today I begin a new chapter filled with personal hope and hope for others who have suffered genital injuries.
"In sharing this success with all of you, it's my hope we can usher in a bright future for this type of transplantation."
But playing in the finals of a major tournament with a country that three years ago was ranked below perennial also-rans Liechtenstein and Luxembourg always felt like a "distant dream" for the nation's only Champions League winner.
Gudjohnsen, now 37, is at last aiming to realise that ambition at next summer's European Championship. It would be a remarkable story if he were to play in France - but then again, his nation has recently been specialising in the remarkable.
In finishing second in their qualifying group, seven points clear of Netherlands, Iceland became the smallest nation ever to reach a major tournament, and the first to do so with a population below one million.
Its inhabitants number just 329,000 - not many more than live in Coventry.
Even El Salvador, beaten 10-1 in their opening game at the 1982 World Cup, had a population of more than four million backing their team, while Wales - who ended a 58-year wait for qualification last month - has nearly 10 times as many people as Iceland.
"The older you get in footballing years, the further away you get from realising what is a boyhood dream," Gudjohnsen told BBC Sport.
"But then when it happens it makes you feel proud and privileged just to have been part of an amazing campaign."
So how did a country with such limited resources make it to the Euros?
Read about the nations that have qualified for Euro 2016.
Gudjohnsen owed his progression beyond the normal bounds of Icelandic football to his father Arnor's career in Europe.
The seven years Gudjohnsen Sr spent at Belgian side Anderlecht allowed the young Eidur to develop away from the harsh winter climate and mountainous terrain of his homeland, where football outside the four- or five-month summer period meant small-sided games on hard indoor floors.
But much like the prospective plans put forward by an English Football Association commission in October 2014, Iceland's football association (KSI) has overseen massive investment in changing that in the past 15 years.
There are now 30 full-size all-weather pitches, seven of which are indoors, and almost 150 smaller artificial arenas that ensure youngsters at grassroots can continue to play football in winter, often inside indoor dome structures.
It is why the current crop of players, many of whom made history by qualifying for the European Under-21 Championship in 2011 - Iceland's first foray into any major international tournament - have been labelled "the indoor kids".
"For this nation, the dome pitches were a revelation," Heimir Hallgrimsson, the national team's joint head coach, told BBC Sport. "Every village wanted an artificial pitch, and there is now one close to almost every school in Iceland.
"These guys now with us in the national team were brought up on artificial pitches. Many would have had youth coaching in an indoor dome. They could go out if the weather was good, but they always had good facilities to train."
Despite Iceland having no professional club sides, there is an extraordinarily high number of qualified coaches in the country, with 639 people holding a Uefa B licence, according to recent KSI statistics.
It means even youngsters living in the tiniest provincial fishing village in Iceland can benefit from a state-of-the-art, all-weather pitch and a trained coach.
Hallgrimsson, 48, spent his entire playing career in Iceland and balances his coaching commitments with part-time work as a dentist, but he recognises the appeal of the coaching profession for Icelanders.
"Every town or village in Iceland wants to have a good football team for the parents and for the kids, and it is easy to train as a Uefa A or B licence coach here," he noted.
"I took my Pro Licence in England and I looked around. Of course it is a professional set-up for the big clubs there, but it's mostly parents or some guy who takes over and works with the kids who play on Sunday.
"I think that's the difference. We teach our kids from a young age and we give them good sessions with trained coaches, so that's why we get a lot of young players going abroad early, at 17, 18, 19, which they have to do to continue their development professionally."
At 26, Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson is now the focal point of the Iceland team and a typical example of his country's youth development policy.
Sigurdsson was signed by Reading as an under-17 international in 2005. He had loan spells with Crewe and Shrewsbury before moving to Hoffenheim in the German Bundesliga and impressing sufficiently to make a high-profile return to the Premier League with Tottenham.
"If you look at Gylfi for instance, he was in a lot of clubs and he still didn't miss out. Even if he didn't succeed from the beginning, now he's a really good player," says Iceland's other joint head coach, Lars Lagerback.
"I think it's in the country's culture - they're used to working hard and taking care of themselves, so it's a really nice group in that way to work with."
Lagerback, 67, led his home country of Sweden to an unprecedented five major tournaments in a row, and reckons the achievement he and Hallgrimsson have manufactured with the tiny Nordic isle is "a little bit special".
Their qualification has come two years after a play-off defeat by Croatia denied them a first World Cup appearance in Brazil, following a group campaign in which they had finished runners-up behind Switzerland despite being drawn as one of the lowest seeds.
"Of course we were very disappointed losing to Croatia, but I think when we restarted again everyone saw it as a good first step," Lagerback said.
"We tried to put it that way and even if we thought we ended up in a tough group for the Euros, we always said if you give 100% in preparation and during the game you can always win in football."
Gudjohnsen announced his retirement from international football following the Croatia defeat but was lured back just 18 months later, sensing his long-held ambition could still be fulfilled.
For two consecutive qualifying campaigns, the management team have got the best out of a group of players who qualified for the European U21 finals in 2011.
They are players, now approaching their mid-20s, who have now got the better of the Netherlands in home and away matches, as well as dismantling Turkey 3-0 on their way to qualification from what on first viewing was an intimidating group.
And they are players that have grown up idolising Gudjohnsen and his role in giving Icelandic football an identity both in England's Premier League with Chelsea and across Europe at Barcelona and Monaco.
"You do have a sense that some of these players look up to me," Gudjohnsen said.
"They grew up watching me play probably - probably played with me on the PlayStation as well.
"It is strange, but once you get into training and on the pitch these things tend to be forgotten very easily and I'm still just one member of the group.
"We're all fighting for the same thing. It's a great experience but I've hoped they've enjoyed playing with me as much as I have with them because it's been a breath of fresh air for Icelandic football."
The former Chelsea striker still enjoys iconic status in his home country, but has had to make do with substitute appearances in Iceland's final qualification games and has missed out on a place in the squad for the side's friendlies with Poland and Slovakia this weekend.
After his spell back at Bolton Wanderers in the Championship last season, during which he scored six goals, Gudjohnsen moved to Chinese side Shijiazhuang Ever Bright in July.
But following the conclusion of the Chinese Super League season he is now seeking a new club in the hope he can reach and maintain the fitness levels required for tournament football.
"I'm looking at a few options now," Gudjohnsen said.
"I think it's fair to say it would be best to be playing in Europe, to try and play at the best level to be as fit as possible when the tournament comes.
"The success of the national team has been one of the key factors in me just continuing. It's been a motivation to keep me going until at least next summer.
"But in saying that I just love the game too much, it hasn't been difficult to keep motivating me to keep playing. This has just been a nice bonus, a little extra at the end."
Mr Mallya, who is said to have debts of about $1bn (£600m), left India in March and is believed to be in the UK.
Last month, authorities in India revoked Mr Mallya's diplomatic passport and asked the UK to deport him after a court issued a warrant for his arrest.
He has denied any wrongdoing and said he is being subject to a "witch hunt".
A spokesman for Mr Mallya told the AFP news agency that "he has resigned from Rajya Sabha (upper house) of the Indian parliament".
The resignation comes a week after the ethics committee of the Rajya Sabha asked the businessman to explain his conduct, after which it decided to recommend his expulsion over huge bank debts.
It is alleged Mr Mallya repeatedly failed to appear before investigators looking into financial irregularities at Kingfisher Airlines, which collapsed in 2013.
Mr Mallya said on Twitter in March that he was an international businessman who had to travel and denied that he was "fleeing" from India.
He said he was the victim of a "media witch hunt".
The flamboyant businessman made his fortune selling beer under the Kingfisher brand and branched out into aviation, Formula 1 racing, and Indian cricket.
His debts were incurred by the failure of his airline and he is being pursued by a group of mainly state-run banks who lent him money.
It happened on the M9 between junctions 1 and 2 at about 20:30 BST.
The woman, who was in her 40s, was declared dead at the scene.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
Only six of the 77 people on the plane, carrying members of the Chapecoense team, survived Monday's crash.
The team were flying to what was billed as the biggest match in their history - the final of the Copa Sudamericana.
Their opponents, Colombian team Atletico Nacional, have offered to concede the game to ensure Chapecoense are declared the champions.
In a tweet, the club also asked fans to turn up to their stadium at the time which the game was scheduled, dressed in white.
In a joint statement, Brazilian first division football teams have offered to lend players to Chapecoense free of charge, and asked the league to protect the club from relegation for the next three years.
Several leading footballers, from Barcelona stars Lionel Messi and Neymar, to Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, have also paid tribute to the players, who had become an unlikely success story in recent years.
There were also 21 journalists on board. Both flight recorders have been recovered.
The plane lost contact with ground controllers as it approached Medellin at about 22:15 on Monday (03:15 GMT on Tuesday), after the pilot reported an electrical fault. It came down in a mountainous area.
The number of those on board was first said to be 81, but Colombia's disaster management agency later said four people on the passenger list did not board the plane.
Three of the six survivors are footballers:
Goalkeeper Marcos Padilha, also known as Danilo, was pulled alive from the wreckage but he later died in hospital.
Of the 21 journalists on board, six worked for Fox Sports Brasil, and a number of others for the Globo media organisation.
Three British investigators are travelling to Colombia to help look into the cause of the crash.
In pictures: Chapecoense tributes
Shortly before boarding in Sao Paulo, Chapecoense manager Cadu Gaucho, 36, appeared in a video posted on the team's Facebook site [in Portuguese] describing the trip to Medellin as "the club's most important to date".
Playing in the final of the Copa Sudamericana was to be the highlight of a glorious season for the team from a small city of less than 200,000 inhabitants in the state of Santa Catarina.
Founded in 1973, the team has been playing in Brazil's Serie A since only 2014 but is currently ninth ahead of much more famous and established teams such as Sao Paulo, Fluminense and Cruzeiro.
Last week, it became the first Brazilian team in three years to make it to the final of the Copa Sudamericana, South America's second most important club competition, after beating Argentine side San Lorenzo.
One of the founders of the club, Alvadir Pelisser, told BBC Brasil the tragedy had put an "end to everyone's dream". "We were a family, I'm shocked," he added.
Brazilian President Michel Temer announced three days of national mourning, and top Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona held a minute's silence at the beginning of their practice sessions.
Chapecoense's goalkeeping coach Marcelo De Quadros Kunst stayed in Brazil with players who did not travel to Colombia.
He told the BBC: "We see wives fainting, ambulances taking them to the hospital, family members holding on to football boots left behind."
Argentine forward Alejandro Martinuccio was one of those who had to stay behind. "I was saved because I got injured," he told Argentina's La Red radio.
"I feel profound sadness. The only thing I can ask is prayers for the companions who were on the flight."
It's not unusual to see Brazilians wearing their team's shirt. But today in Chapeco, the gesture has a different meaning.
Since the early hours of Tuesday morning, men and women, young and old, have been coming to Chapecoense's stadium, Arena Conda.
Schools let their students go, shops remained closed.
Wearing green and white, the colours of the team, they stare at the empty field, still unable to believe the tragedy that took place.
"They were such humble boys. We all knew them," said supporter Djair Hipolito. "They took the time to talk to us, take photos, visit people in the hospital. I know that other teams are not like this."
"We should be celebrating now", he says. Their team was finally at the top, one match away from their first international title.
Now, the fans just sit in silence and wait for their boys to come home. "Do you know anything about the bodies?" a woman asks me. "Do you think the service will be here in the stadium?"
The Met Office warned of ice forming overnight which may lead to difficult driving conditions on untreated roads and slippery conditions on pavements.
The warning is in place from 01:00 until 10:00 GMT.
While there will be some hill snow, ice is expected to form on pavements that are wet from rain.
The warning covers Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Gwynedd, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Powys and Rhondda Cynon Taff.
I have to say it strikes me as a bonkers price to pay. It's not that Basquiat wasn't a good artist, he was.
I couldn't put him in the same bracket as a Rembrandt or a Picasso, Cezanne or Manet, but it's perfectly reasonable to argue that he has his place in art history and fits in within the canon of Western art.
There is a line that can be drawn from Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Picasso which arrives at Basquiat's graffiti inspired expressionist paintings.
You can see the influence within them of Jean Dubuffet's Art Brut, Jackson Pollock's early surrealism and Keith Haring's post-pop creations.
They are poetic, political and powerful.
But it's difficult to know where the value lies.
Is it in the aesthetic quality of the artwork? Or is it in the romantic story associated with the artist who in latter years, maybe since Julian Schanbel's biopic, has become something of a mythical figure?
Listen: BBC Minute with Will Gompertz on Jean-Michel Basquiat
I suspect the latter plays a large part, particularly it has been reported Maezawa wants to use the painting as a foundation work in his new museum in Japan.
The question is, is this the peak for a Basquiat - who was prolific in his short life - or just the beginning of what might become a Basquiat boom?
I imagine there are collectors who own pieces by him (but the majority are still in private hands) who will be on the phone to one of the big auction houses to see what theirs might be worth.
What's for sure, is that Basquiat artworks are now out of reach of any UK institution to address the fact there are no examples of his work in prominent UK galleries.
Which is a shame - especially as there were opportunities in the past when his prices were less high.

So Germans are shocked to discover that for years the country's mightiest car manufacturer Volkswagen has been rigging environmental tests for diesel emissions in the US.
It's as if the British suddenly found out that the Queen had a hand in fixing the horse races at Ascot.
One German newspaper has called it the "most expensive act of stupidity in the history of the car industry".
Stupid because manipulating pollution data to boost sales can only be seen as a slap in the face to customers who paid a premium for what they thought was a greener car.
And expensive because €14bn (£10bn; $15.6bn) was wiped off VW's value within hours of the stock market opening on Monday morning. Since the company owned up, its shares have plummeted more than 30% in two days.
Added to that, the company could face €18bn of fines from US authorities and such damage to its brand that future sales are bound to be hit hard.
11 million
Vehicles affected worldwide
€6.5bn Set aside by VW
$18bn Potential fines
No. 1 Global carmaker in sales
It seems particularly egregious that VW is guilty of faking its green credentials, given that the company has been vaunting itself as environmentally conscious, and marketing its cars as "clean diesel". Powerful and better for the environment at the same time, was the message.
But drivers of almost half a million cars in the US have now suddenly found that they are driving round vehicles which are a lot worse for the environment than they thought. The rigged tests masked the fact that these cars emit up to 40 times the legal limit of pollutants.
And now VW has said that as many as 11 million cars worldwide could be affected.
The worry is that the scandal could have even wider ramifications.
In Germany a car is more than just a metal box on four wheels - as anyone who has been to Wolfsburg, the hometown of VW, knows.
In fact, with almost half the population working for the firm, the town is VW, with massive factories ornate as castles, and huge VW flags and signs wherever you look.
That's because Germany is rightly proud of its cars - symbols of reliability, technical expertise and top engineering.
Symbols too of economic strength. Thanks to VW, Wolfsburg has the highest per capita salary in Germany.
And in the country as a whole, cars are among Germany's most important exports. According to one estimate, one in seven of all German jobs are in some way connected to the car industry.
But "Made in Germany" is supposed to be a quality trusted brand worth paying money for. If that image becomes one of manipulation and deceit instead, then it's only a matter of time before the impact is felt on the German economy.
The fear is that other German industries could also be contaminated by the scandal.
A lot of Germany's present economic success is based on engineering expertise, specialised technology and expensive heavy machinery sold to fire up China's factories.
Customers are prepared to pay over the odds for quality they trust.
The problem is that even if something like winning the World Cup can boost the reputation of all kinds of German brands internationally, then lying about a car's environmental credentials could well have the opposite effect.

Confirmation of Vale's return to League Two came when Brown's side could only draw 0-0 at Fleetwood on Sunday, when victory would have kept them up.
Vale's form dipped after 10-goal top scorer Alex Jones' loan deal expired and he joined Bradford in January.
"We've had extremely difficult circumstances," said Brown, 40.
He told BBC Radio Stoke: "To deliver a relegation in my first job, I'm still very disappointed, and I want to prove to everyone that I can build a good team.
"With the staff I have, and the contacts, we hope to get a team the Vale fans are proud of."
As a contracted Vale player since the summer of 2014, Brown has witnessed a major reconstruction at the club.
It began at the start of the season when manager Rob Page left for Northampton, and his assistant Brown became part of chairman Norman Smurthwaite's search for a new boss.
The appointment of Bruno Ribeiro and 16 mostly foreign signings was initially a success, but form was already tailing off prior to the departure of the Portuguese manager on 26 December.
Brown was initially told by Smurthwaite that he would be judged on results, and he won his first game in charge against a Chesterfield side who were to accompany them down.
But Vale have won just four times in 22 league matches in 2017 and Brown is now waiting to discover his fate.
"The chairman's the chairman," he said. "He owns the club and puts a lot of money in.
"It's going to need 16 players again. I'm planning as if I'm here and doing homework on the sort of players you'd want at the football club."
Several of Ribeiro's signings left in the January transfer window and one more departure is already known, after French midfielder Sebastien Amoros announced his intended exit on social media.

Logos, it seems, are as important as the politician and policies they represent, so sometimes in an attempt to change their image political parties rebrand, as the Tories did when they went from torch to tree.
And sometimes other parties try a cheeky rebrand for them, as in the case of Labour using the altered version of the Lib Dem dove in 2010.
But political rebranding is no longer the preserve of the politicos, pollsters and ad agencies. A new age, it seems is upon us, as we hurtle towards the first general election.
Politics is playing out as much on social media as on the pages of the broadsheets. And the fun has already started...
The Lib Dems' yellow dove logo appears to be an easy target. Last week saw it become the butt of Twitter jokes across the country, after an unfortunate incident where their campaign bus hit a pigeon.
Another Twitter user, slightly ahead of the pack, offered one suggestion for a new Lib Dem in comment on how he saw their chances in October last year.
The Lib Dems have also jumped on the logo bandwagon, briefly changing their website logo to reflect reality TV star Joey Essex's remark that he had thought Nick Clegg's party were called the Liberal Democats before meeting the Lib Dem leader.
The other parties, however, haven't entirely escaped involuntary social media rebrands - such as the Tories' tree being unceremoniously turned upside down and set on fire:
And the SNP's 2014 Scottish referendum 'Yes' campaign logo being reworked and the Conservatives also being offered a cheeky top hat alternative logo.
UKIP haven't emerged unscathed either. Some offered a Venn diagram suggesting they fall between Labour and the Conservatives, whilst another reflected on Nigel Farage's recent comment that the NHS failed to diagnose his testicular cancer accurately, telling him he had an infection.
This week is all about manifestos, and perhaps in the hope of avoiding uninvited rebrands similar to that of their 2010 manifesto below, Labour have gone for an entirely text-based front cover.

But the commissioner accepted Mr Boswell had made a "genuine mistake".
And she did not think it was an attempt to conceal his financial interests.
The Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill MP apologised for failing to register an interest in Boswell and Johnston Ltd.
He told the commissioner he had misunderstood the rules on MPs' financial interests.
In her ruling. standards commissioner Kathryn Hudson said her investigation had centred on claims that Mr Boswell had not registered his shareholding in Boswell and Johnston in the Register of Members' Financial Interests within a month of becoming an MP.
She said Mr Boswell had apologised for the breach, which he said was the result of him misunderstanding the rules.
Ms Hudson said: "I accept that this was a genuine mistake and not an attempt to conceal his financial interests".
Mr Boswell has agreed to rectify the matter by having the relevant entry in the Register of Members' Financial Interests italicised for a period of 12 months.
The commissioner said: "I have, therefore, upheld the allegation. I consider Mr Boswell has made an acceptable response and that the rectification action is sufficient to bring the matter to a close."
The MP had been reported to the commissioner by Paul McGarry - a Liberal Democrat candidate in the forthcoming Holyrood election.
Mr Boswell is still being investigated by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Association over his use of Westminster's expenses system. The claims focus on his office expenses.
Separately, Mr Boswell admitted in December that he had benefited from a tax loophole by receiving an interest-free loan of £18,000 while working for a US energy company before becoming an MP - something he called a "common practice" in the oil and gas industry.
The SNP said at the time that the MP had always declared his interests in line with guidelines, and was "committed to ending tax avoidance schemes".
Two other SNP MPs - Michelle Thomson and Natalie McGarry - are currently suspended from the party after withdrawing from the whip.
Ms Thomson has been linked to property deals that led to a solicitor being struck off, while Ms McGarry is at the centre of a police investigation into claims that donations made to the Women for Independence group have gone missing. They deny any wrongdoing.
Cardoso - better known as 'Beto' - had been named acting coach in January after the departure of the Portuguese Rui Aguas in a spat over unpaid wages.
Beto's permanent appointment was confirmed at a news conference in Praia, where Jimmy Barros and Bassano were named the team's new assistants.
Beto had been assistant to former Portugal international Rui Aguas, who took Cape Verde to the last Nations Cup finals in Equatorial Guinea where they were eliminated after the opening group phase despite not losing a match.
The island archipelago, one of the smallest countries on the continent, took over as the top ranked African team in the latest FIFA rankings with Beto telling reporters he understood the "increased responsibility" on the team.
He named a pre-selection of 33 players for the two matches against Morocco, who will also have a new coach in Herve Renard.
The Tubaroes Azul (Blue Sharks) have called up Dutch-born attacker Jerson Cabral from Twente Enschede for the first time. The 25-year-old comes from the large Cape Verdian community in Rotterdam and previously played at Feyenoord. He won caps for the Netherlands at under-17, U-19 and U-21 level.
Cape Verde's squad will be cut to 22 before the match in Praia on 26 March. The two teams face each other again three days later in Agadir.
Cape Verde lead Morocco on goal difference only at the top of Group G with the pair both winning their opening two qualifiers against Libya and Sao Tome e Principe.
Cape Verde provisional squad:
Goalkeepers: Nilson (GD Bairro), Ivan Somada (Gil Vicente, Portugal), Vozinha (FC Zimbru, Moldovia)
Defenders: Carlitos (Omonia Nicosia, Cyprus), Fernando Varela (Steaua Bucharest, Romania), Gege (Arouca, Portugal), Jeffry Fortes (Dordrecht, Netherlands), Kay (Universitat Craiova, Romania), Kiki Balack (Mafra, Portugal), Nivaldo (FK Teplice, Czech Republic), Steven Fortes (Le Havre, France), Stopira (Videoton, Hungary), Tiago (Belenenses, Portugal)
Midfielders: Babanco (Estoril, Portugal), Calú (FC Zimbru, Moldovia), Jamiro Monteiro (Cambuur Leeuwarden, Netherlands), Leleco (Oliveirense, Portugal), Marco Soares (AEL Limassol, Cyprus), Nuno Rocha (Universitat Craiova, Romania), Platini (ACS Poli Timisoara, Romania), Semedo (Feirense, Portugal), Stenio (Cherno More Varna, Bulgaria), Tom (Oriental, Portugal), Tony Varela (Al Jahra, Kuwait)
Strikers: Djaniny (Santos Laguna, Mexico), Garry Rodrigues (PAOK Salonika, Greece), Heldon (Rio Ave, Portugal), Jerson Cabral (Twente Enschede), Júlio Tavares (Dijon, France), Kuka (Rio Ave, Portugal), Odair Fortes (Stade Reims, France), Ryan Mendes (Nottingham Forest, England), Zé Luis (Spartak Moscow, Russia)
The 468-acre Dungeness Estate, in Kent has been sold to EDF Energy for more than £1.5m.
The headland, which juts into the English Channel, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and has 29 homes built from railway carriages on it.
EDF said its intention was to be a "responsible owner of the land".
A spokeswoman for estate agents Strutt & Parker, said she could not reveal the amount it was sold for but said it "exceeded the guide price".
EDF had "stated its intention to continue to work with the local community and special interest groups in respect of the management of this unique environment", she added.
The Dungeness Estate, which includes the cottage where film director Derek Jarman lived, has been part of a family trust since 1964.
Trustee Maurice Ede they were very happy to pass the responsibility of "maintaining an estate such as this" to the energy firm.
When it was put up for sale in August, the estate agent said EDF paid "the best part of £100,000 per annum" to use shingle from the beach to protect the power station.
"Dungeness B has been a huge part of the community for over 30 years; many of our employees live in the area and we bring business to local suppliers," said Dungeness B Station director Martin Pearson.
"We've always worked alongside the local community to preserve and enhance this unique environment and EDF Energy is committed to this."
The Dungeness B power station began generating electricity in 1983. It was scheduled for decommissioning in 2018 but is now scheduled to remain open until 2028.
The charges relate to alleged incidents in High Wycombe, Aylesbury and Wendover between 1998 and 2002.
Mohammed Kayani, 64, from High Wycombe, Berkley John, 75, and Mohammed Aslam, 59, both from Aylesbury, and Saeed Aham, 50, from Luton, are in police custody.
Tariq Hussain, 45, from High Wycombe, has been released on bail.
Mr Kayani, Mr John, Mr Ahmad and Mr Aslam have been charged with a number of sexual offences including conspiracy to rape or indecently assault girls under 16 and women, false imprisonment and allowing premises to be used for unlawful sexual intercourse.
Mr Hussain has been charged with one count of procuring a woman to become a prostitute.
A group of bakers, community gardeners and farmers are trying to establish a healthier Scottish flour.
Their crop trials are being run in Granton on land that had originally been set aside on street corners for communities to grow crops.
They are now using the land again after it had become derelict in recent decades.
Most of those killed are said to have belonged to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which is excluded from the current ceasefire.
It is not clear whether US-led coalition, Syrian or Russian planes carried out the attack.
Meanwhile the UN Security Council is to discuss preparations for peace talks between the Syrian government and rebels due in Kazakhstan on Monday.
The UN said on Thursday that its Syrian envoy Staffan de Mistura would attend the meeting in Astana, which has been convened by Russia, Turkey and Iran.
It will mark the first time the two warring sides have met since UN-brokered talks broke up amid acrimony in Geneva in April 2016.
An intense wave of air strikes is reported to have hit the Sheikh Sulaiman camp, previously headquarters of the now-defunct US-backed Hazm Movement.
Unconfirmed reports say three members of members of Nour al-Din al-Zinki group were also killed.
The group and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS) have become increasingly allied in recent months. Nour al-Din al-Zinki said early on that they would not be attending the talks in Astana.
JFS, known as al-Nusra Front until it broke off formal ties with al-Qaeda in July, along with the so-called Islamic State (IS) group are not covered by the nationwide ceasefire, which was declared at the end of last year.
The ceasefire is largely holding, although air strikes and clashes have been reported on several battlefronts, particularly in the Wadi Barada region north-west of Damascus.
More than 300,000 people have been killed and 11 million others displaced in almost six years of conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war.
Sean Groubert, 31, who is white, is seen on dashboard video shooting Levar Jones, 35, who is black.
Mr Jones was struck in the hip and has been released from hospital. Mr Groubert has been freed on bail.
The arrest comes soon after two high-profile incidents in which white US police killed unarmed black men.
In video shot from a camera on the dashboard of Mr Groubert's patrol car on 4 September, Mr Groubert pulls behind Mr Jones's truck in a Richland County petrol station, then asks, "Can I see your licence please?"
Mr Jones, who has just stepped out of the truck, turns and reaches into the cab, with no apparent aggression in his manner.
An instant later Mr Groubert shouts "get out of the car" and bursts into the frame with gun drawn, then opens fire before Mr Jones can react.
In the next three seconds, at least four shots can be heard as Mr Jones puts his hands over his head then crumples to the ground.
"You said get my licence," Mr Jones is heard moaning, out of vision, "I grabbed my licence."
Mr Groubert holsters his gun, orders Mr Jones to put his hands behind his back, then summons an ambulance and other police officers.
Mr Jones asks why Mr Groubert shot him. Mr Groubert responds, "You dove head first back into your car.''
The South Carolina Department of Public Safety fired Mr Groubert on 19 September.
"Mr Groubert's actions rose to such an extent that his employment with us must be terminated," director Leroy Smith said in a statement.
"The facts of this case are disturbing to me, but I believe this case was an isolated incident in which Mr Groubert reacted to a perceived threat where there was none."
On Wednesday, prosecutors in Richland County, South Carolina, issued an arrest warrant charging Mr Groubert with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, a felony that carries up to 20 years in prison.
The filing says Mr Groubert shot Mr Jones "without justification", and cites the video recording as evidence.
He has been released on a $75,000 (£46,000) bond.
In Mr Groubert's case, the arrest warrant was issued less than three weeks after the shooting.
But in two other cases since the beginning of August, white policemen were not charged, leading to widespread outrage.
In Missouri, a grand jury is weighing charges against Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in the middle of a street on 9 August.
Mr Wilson has said Mr Brown attacked him. Witnesses say Mr Brown had his hands up and was a considerable distance away when he was killed.
And in Ohio this week, a grand jury declined to prosecute police officers who shot and killed John Crawford III as he was strolling around a Walmart store while playing with a toy rifle he had taken from a shelf and talking on his mobile phone.
The 23-year-old, who took his maiden first-class five-wicket haul in May, is the one uncapped player in the squad for the games on 16 and 18 June.
"It's been brilliant to play first-team cricket at Durham and to achieve success," said Dubliner McCarthy.
Both matches against Sri Lanka will be staged at Malahide.
John Bracewell, Ireland's head coach, said: "Barry has been in tremendous form with Durham and deserves his opportunity,"
Craig Young (elbow) and Andrew Balbirnie (hip) were not available because of injury.
Meanwhile, Andrew Poynter has announced his retirement from Ireland and inter-provincial duty because of business and family commitments.
Clontarf batsman Poynter, 29, made his Ireland debut against Bangladesh A in 2008 and made 69 appearances for his country.
"I have always found it tough to manage an international and inter-provincial cricket career whilst having to juggle running my own business," said Poynter.
"I'm head of youth coaching at Clontarf CC and have other coaching roles as well as a young family."
Ireland coach John Bracewell said Poynter had made a "tremendous contribution to Irish cricket".
Ireland squad: William Porterfield (Warwickshire, capt), George Dockrell (Leinster Lightning), Ed Joyce (Sussex), Tim Murtagh (Middlesex), Andrew McBrine (North-West Warriors), Barry McCarthy (Durham/Leinster Lightning), Kevin O'Brien (Leinster Lightning/Leicestershire), Niall O'Brien (Leicestershire), Stuart Poynter (Durham), Boyd Rankin (Warwickshire), Paul Stirling (Middlesex), Stuart Thompson (North-West Warriors), Gary Wilson (Surrey).
The controversial project will be assessed using "preliminary documentation" only, documents show.
Abbot Point, south of Cairns, is a major coal port and is being expanded to cope with increased exports.
Environmental groups say the government's step is highly unusual.
They say fast-tracking the dredging approval would put an already threatened reef in greater danger of degradation.
Greenpeace reef campaigner Shani Tager said: "Adani, the Indian coal company behind the new Abbot Point coal terminal, has been holding the Queensland and federal governments to ransom over this development, threatening to pull out unless their demands are met.
"[Environment Minister] Greg Hunt has rolled over, again failing to stand up to Adani and its reef wrecking agenda."
In September, the Queensland government asked the federal government to speed up the plan's approval, assessing it using documents filed with an original plan to dump dredge spoil in Great Barrier Reef waters.
A spokesman for Mr Hunt told Australian media that the assessment would be a "very rigorous process".
"Australia has some of the most stringent environmental protection laws in the world and these proposals will be assessed thoroughly," the spokesman said.
Under the proposal, millions of tonnes of seabed would be dredged from the World Heritage Area and dumped on the Caley Valley wetlands, which is home to more than 40,000 water birds.
The government recently changed a plan to dump thousands of tonnes of sediment at sea but scientists remain concerned about what that will mean for the wetlands and the nearby reef.
Conservation group WWF-Australia said a full environmental impact assessment process was standard practice with a development of this size.
"The fast tracking of development at Gladstone [on the Queensland coast] triggered the World Heritage Committee's concern; this looks like a case of history repeating itself," said WWF-Australia reef campaigner Louise Matthiesson.
"No previous studies have examined the specific impacts of dredge spoil disposal in this sensitive area or the proposed alteration of the Caley Valley Wetlands," she said.
Greens Senator Larissa Waters said not only had Mr Hunt failed to require an environmental impact statement to dump spoil on the wetlands, he hadn't revoked the permit to dump the spoil in the reef's waters.
"So it's up to the proponent, [Queensland Premier] Campbell Newman, who is no friend of the reef, to decide whether to dump on the reef or its wetlands," she said.
Dr Hinohara continued seeing patients until months before his death and frequently offered advice on how to live well.
Described by his colleagues as Japan's national treasure, he headed five foundations in addition to being the president of St Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo.
Here are some highlights from his remarkable life.
Dr Hinohara began his working life as a doctor at St Luke's in the 1940s.
During the war he helped to treat victims of the firebombing that destroyed large parts of the Japanese capital.
In 1970 Dr Hinohara was a passenger on a Japan Airlines plane hijacked by the communist militant group, the Japanese Red Army.
The hijackers, who were armed with swords and pipe bombs, took 129 hostages on the flight from Tokyo to Fukuoka, later releasing them at Fukuoka and the South Korea capital Seoul before flying on to North Korea where they were offered political asylum.
In a 2008 interview with the Japan Times, Dr Hinohara said the hijackers had explosives strapped to them "and we were terrorised, wondering whether the negotiations might break down".
A great music lover, Dr Hinohara, at the age of 88, wrote a script for a Japanese musical entitled The Fall of Freddie the Leaf.
The show was first performed in 2000 and Dr Hinohara also acted in the production, dancing with children, the Japan Times reported.
Dr Hinohara frequently appeared on Japanese television, urging audiences to have more fun in their lives and to ward off illness by always giving themselves something to look forward to.
On TV and through a best-selling anthology of essays called How to Live Well, he encouraged others to do away with strict rules on when to eat and sleep. One of his last pieces of advice was; always take the stairs and keep up your strength by carrying your own bags.
"We all remember how as children, when we were having fun, we often forgot to eat or sleep," he once said.
"I believe we can keep that attitude as adults - it is best not to tire the body with too many rules such as lunchtime and bedtime."
In 1954 Dr Hinohara introduced Japan's system of comprehensive annual medical check-ups - called "human dry-dock" - which have been credited with greatly contributing to the country's longevity.
He was also a strong advocate of maintaining an active social life into old age.
Dr Hinohara became director of St Luke's in the early 1990s and, according to the Japan Times, had oxygen tubes installed throughout the building in 1994 to prepare for mass casualties if an earthquake struck the capital.
The next year, a sarin gas attack on Tokyo's metro by members of a cult killed at least 12 and injured thousands but the hospital was able to cope with the number of patients because of Dr Hinohara's preparations, the Times says.
Many tributes have been paid to Dr Hinohara, including by the Japan Times journalist Judit Kawaguchi, who knew him well.
She told the BBC that he had amazing energy and drive.
"I met him when he was already in his 90s and I would say he drastically changed my mind about ageing because even then he was working 18 hours, seven days a week, and he was the most energetic person I've ever met," she said.
"He believed that life is all about contribution, so he had this incredible drive to help people, to wake up early in the morning and do something wonderful for other people. This is what was driving him and what kept him living."
She added: "He always had today's goals, tomorrow's and the next five years. I feel very sad that he died because his dream was to attend the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020. That was his next big goal and he couldn't make it.
"But he was just an amazing, amazing person and everybody who met him was transformed because of him."
A statement from his office said Mr Fraser, who led the nation between 1975 and 1983, died after a short illness.
He became its leader in controversial circumstances, after the unprecedented dismissal of PM Gough Whitlam.
Once in office, he championed the rights of Indigenous Australians and refugees, a stance that put him on a collision course with his own party in later life.
The statement from his office said he "died peacefully in the early hours of the morning" on Friday.
"We appreciate that this will be a shock to all who knew and loved him, but ask that the family be left in peace at this difficult time," it added.
The constitutional crisis that led to Mr Fraser becoming prime minister in 1975 formed an integral part of his image in Australia.
As leader of the opposition he blocked finance bills for government programmes, forcing Governor-General Sir John Kerr to dismiss Mr Whitlam as prime minister.
Mr Fraser was then appointed caretaker prime minister at the head of a Liberal-Country Party coalition government until an election in December, which he won by a landslide.
Gough Whitlam's dismissal shocked the country and, with Mr Whitlam calling on his supporters to "maintain your rage", sparked off protest strikes and violent demonstrations.
In office, Mr Fraser continued some of the reforms begun by Mr Whitlam, including the introduction of legislation that returned land to Indigenous Australians in the Northern Territory.
Other achievements during his three terms of office included the creation of Australia's family court.
The Fraser government also launched the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), a government-funded multilingual broadcaster much-loved by Australia's immigrant communities. The SBS was indicative of Mr Fraser's commitment to the rights of those born elsewhere who made Australia their home.
He was staunchly anti-apartheid, and campaigned during his leadership against the racial segregation in South Africa.
Mr Fraser's political legacy also protects Australia's greatest environmental treasure - his government declared 36,000 sq/km of the Cairns section of the Great Barrier Reef a marine park.
In later years, following his defeat by Labor's Bob Hawke in 1983, Mr Fraser adopted the mantle of the elder statesman and he became a key figure in humanitarian and diplomatic circles.
He was a staunch critic of his own party, particularly under John Howard's leadership between 1996 and 2007 because of the party's policies on rights of Indigenous Australians and refugees.
He became so disenchanted with the Liberal Party that in 2010 he renounced his membership.
Australian Prime Minister and current Liberal leader Tony Abbott, often a target of Mr Fraser's criticism, praised the former leader for his "unwavering" opposition to apartheid and "deep interest in the advancement of indigenous people".
"In a long and active retirement, he maintained a keen interest in our country's direction," Mr Abbott said.
Tributes to the former prime minister poured in from politicians across the party divide.
Many praised Mr Fraser for his efforts to create a home in Australia for refugees and to fight for the rights of those suffering racial discrimination.
Labor leader Bill Shorten said Mr Fraser had "immeasurably enriched Australia's multicultural society, offering refuge to tens of thousands of vulnerable people driven from Vietnam by the horror of war".
Former Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd called him "a compassionate Australian who cared for people at home or abroad who had little or nothing to protect them".
Another former leader, Julia Gillard said he "was a leader in the fight for racial equality".
"His brave stance against the evil of South Africa's apartheid helped changed the world for the better," she said.
Former Liberal Prime Minister John Howard credited the former prime minister with bringing "great integrity" to governing Australia.
"Anybody who achieves what Malcolm Fraser achieved in his life deserves respect as a quite extraordinary Australian," Mr Howard said.
Christine Milne, leader of the Greens, said Mr Fraser made an "enormous contribution to Australia" and praised him for his "compassion and dedication to building a thriving and peaceful multicultural society".
A white van hit pedestrians on London Bridge at about 10pm on Saturday, then three men got out and attacked people in nearby Borough Market.
Police arrived within a few minutes and the three men believed to be responsible for the attack were killed by the specially trained police.
Dozens of emergency service workers were sent to the scene and the injured were taken to five London hospitals to be treated.
Police investigations into what happened are continuing.
A group called Islamic State has said it was behind the attack, but police haven't confirmed if that is true.
Guide: What is Islamic State?
The bridge has reopened and so has the nearby tube and rail station. But other areas where the attack happened are still closed off.
Flags across the capital and the rest of the world have been lowered to half-mast.
A minute's silence was held on Tuesday at 11am in the UK, to remember those who have lost their lives and everyone else affected by the attacks.
There was also a silence at the One Love Manchester concert on Sunday night, for the victims of both the Manchester and London attacks.
Advice if you're upset by the news
Messages of support have been sent from other cities around the world.
In Paris, France, the lights of the Eiffel Tower were turned off. In Berlin, Germany, a union jack flag was displayed.
London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, said it was "a deliberate and cowardly attack on innocent Londoners", but the capital remained the "safest global city" and Londoners would not be cowed by terrorism.
British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has said that more action to deal with terrorism needed to be taken "here at home".
She added: "But the whole of our country needs to come together to take on this extremism, and we need to live our lives not in a series of separated, segregated communities, but as one truly United Kingdom."
After the attack, most of the UK political parties briefly stopped campaigning for votes ahead of the general election on Thursday.
The prime minister confirmed that Thursday's election would go ahead as planned.
The Shia-led Hashd al-Shaabi forces said the victims were "civilian prisoners" murdered by militants from so-called Islamic State (IS).
IS is alleged to have killed up to 600 inmates, most of them Shia Muslims, when it seized Mosul in 2014.
Badoush prison was recaptured earlier this week.
The Hashd al-Shaabi paramilitary forces said on Saturday that the "large mass grave" contained the remains of about 500 civilian prisoners who were "executed by (IS) gangs after they controlled the prison during their occupation of Mosul".
However, an army source deployed with Hashd forces was unable to confirm the discovery.
Although Saturday's report could not be immediately verified, a 2014 report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that hundreds of male inmates were murdered by IS gunmen at the time.
After Badoush prison was seized in June 2014, some 1,500 inmates were rounded up and transported by lorry to an isolated stretch of desert about 2km (1.2 miles) away, survivors told the rights group.
According to the HRW report, IS gunmen separated the Shia inmates from the Sunnis and Christians and then marched them to a ravine, where they were forced to kneel along its edge.
The Shia inmates were shot in the head or back with assault rifles and automatic weapons, according to the survivors, who escaped by pretending to be dead or because they were shielded by the bodies of victims who fell on top of them.
The Iraqi army's 9th Armoured Division and allied militiamen recaptured Badoush prison, north-west of Mosul, on Wednesday.
A statement released by the Iraqi forces did not say whether they found anyone who was being detained by IS.
Iraq's government launched an operation to retake Mosul in October, and announced that the city's eastern side had been liberated in January.
Troops are now pushing into the more densely-populated west.
Guptill, 28, has not played a Test since the 2013 tour to England, but last month hit 237 against West Indies, the highest score in World Cup history.
Paceman Matt Henry gets a maiden Test call and uncapped all-rounder Mitchell Santner is in the one-day squad.
The World Cup runners-up will play two Tests, five one-dayers and a Twenty20 international from 21 May to 23 June.
"This is a stable, established Test side but there will be opportunities for contenders," said coach Mike Hesson.
Of Guptill, who averages 39 in one-day internationals but only 29 from his 31 Tests, Hesson added: "Martin's a classically styled batsman and there's really no reason why he can't be as influential in the longer game as he is in the short."
Guptill's recall may mean Derbyshire have to make an additional overseas signing, as he had originally signed to play in their first six County Championship games but will now only be available for three.
Brendon McCullum captains the 15-man squad but is one of several players who will miss the two warm-up matches ahead of the opening Test at Lord's on 21 May because of Indian Premier League commitments.
Wicketkeeper BJ Watling will take charge of those fixtures, with Santner and uncapped pace bowlers Jacob Duffy and Ben Wheeler joining the squad.
Fast bowler Adam Milne, who was ruled out of the World Cup with a heel injury and replaced by Henry before the semi-final against South Africa, has been included in the limited-overs squad, while the only World Cup squad member not involved is seamer Kyle Mills.
Test squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Mark Craig, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Luke Ronchi (wk), Hamish Rutherford, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling (wk), Kane Williamson.
ODI and T20 squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Adam Milne, Luke Ronchi (wk), Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Kane Williamson.

Details of the so-called 'Never Incident' - where serious harm or death could occur - were revealed in a report to the Betsi Cadwaladwr health board.
The findings will be discussed by the board at a meeting next week.
According to the quality and performance report, the incident at the unnamed clinic took place in August.
It was one of four separate 'Never Incidents' reported to the board so far in 2015.
In July, a swab used during a surgical procedure at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Denbighshire was unaccounted for, leading to a patient requiring an additional x-ray test to ensure it had not been left inside them.
In June, a patient underwent treatment on the wrong knee at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
In April, another patient had a procedure carried out on the wrong body part at Glan Clwyd.
This incident has already been the subject of a serious incident review report, which has been passed to the Welsh government.
Jill Newman, assistant director for improvement and business support at the health board, said a full investigation has begun into the August incident, with immediate steps taken to prevent similar errors in future.
A review of the missing swab case has also taken place with "learning points" identified and an action plan being developed.
In the third case, the patient with the wrong knee treatment has gone through follow-up appointments and is pain-free, the report said.
Data from Nasa and the UK Met Office shows temperatures were about 0.07 degrees Celsius above the 2015 mark.
Although the Met Office increase was within the margin of error, Nasa says that 2016 was the third year in a row to break the record.
The El Niño weather phenomenon played a role, say scientists, but the main factor was human emissions of CO2.
The latest conclusions won't come as a much of a shock to observers, as the likely outcome was trailed heavily towards the end of last year.
Animation: Climate change explained in six graphics
What is climate change?
So warm was the early part of 2016 - influenced by a powerful El Niño - that some leading climate scientists were predicting as early as May that a new record was likely.
During an El Niño, a band of unusually warm ocean water develops in parts of the Pacific. The phenomenon affects the climate globally, disrupting weather patterns.
According to Nasa figures, 2016 is now the warmest year in a record that dates back to 1880.
"2015 has been the warmest year on record up until now, so 2016 has just beaten that and and it's beaten that by about 0.1- 0.12 of a degree Celsius, which doesn't seem like a lot, but in terms of the year to year variations it's actually huge," Dr Gavin Schmidt from Nasa told BBC News.
"This is a very clear record that we're seeing. It is driven mainly by changes in the tropical Pacific where we had an El Niño event that produced a lot of warmth. But we've also seen long term trends in warming mostly due to the increasing greenhouse gases."
Another factor that has affected temperatures in 2016 is the unusual warmth in the Arctic.
The sea-ice covering the Arctic reached its second lowest level (in terms of extent) in September 2016. The sea-ice grows in autumn and winter and shrinks each spring and summer.
While the sea-ice extent last year didn't break the record, the mercury stayed high and the smaller amount of ice now present in the region is at unprecedented levels for the time of year.
A number of meteorological agencies from around the world have released their figures today. They all suggest that warming in 2016 was a record that had an important contribution from El Niño.
The Met Office says it contributed about 0.2C to the annual average for 2016. However, researchers believe that while this is substantial, it is not the whole story.
"We understand the contribution El Niño makes fairly well and we've seen it many times," said Prof Ellie Highwood from the University of Reading.
"But even if you take that contribution away, we would expect 2015 and 2016 to still be the warmest years we've seen, so a majority of it is coming from global warming and the greenhouse effect."
The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), which pulls together temperature data from a number of sources, agrees that 2016 broke the record by 0.07C.
Not all of the reports on temperature data in 2016 are clear that the warmest-year record has been broken.
The Met Office says that 2016 was 0.77 above the long term rate, but with a plus or minus error margin of 0.1C, meaning that last year was at the very least, one of the two warmest years on record.
"The final figures confirm that 2016 was yet another extremely warm year," said Peter Stott from the Met Office.
"The temperature for last year was very close to the year before, temperatures for 2016 exceeding those for 2015 by a small margin."
Regardless of the small margins, when the new data on 2016 is included, 15 of the warmest 16 years on record have now occurred since 2001.
According to Noaa (the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), the only year from the 20th Century to break into the top 16 is 1998, and which ranks seventh warmest.
This prolonged period of warming was having significant impacts around the world.
"We have also broken sea ice minimum records in the Arctic and Antarctic," said Petteri Taalas from the WMO.
"The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the global average. The persistent loss of sea-ice is driving weather, climate and ocean circulation patterns in other parts of the world. We also have to pay attention to the potential release of methane from melting permafrost," he said.
Of great concern to scientists and politicians is the fact that the newly published temperature data shows the Earth is once again more than one degree warmer than pre-industrial times, and edging closer to the threshold of 1.5C set under the Paris climate pact.
With the Trump administration about to take office in the US, there are concerns that political support for climate action might fade. This would be a big mistake according to scientists.
"Climate change is one of the great challenges of the 21st Century and shows no signs of slowing down," said Prof Mark Maslin, from University College London.
"The decarbonisation of the global economy is the ultimate goal to prevent the worst effects of climate change. The hottest year on record is such a clear warning siren that even President-elect Trump cannot ignore it."
Researchers say that 2017 is unlikely to break the warming record but will be in the top five hottest years.

EU rules mean certain approved foods - from champagne to Cornish pasties - can only be produced in certain locations.
Plaid, campaigning to stay in the EU, said without the protection lower-quality food could be made elsewhere.
But Vote Leave, leading the campaign to leave the EU, said the argument was "absolute nonsense".
Voters will decide in a referendum on 23 June whether Britain remains a member of the 28-country union, or leaves.
Plaid AM Simon Thomas said: "One of the benefits of European Union membership is the protected status of specialist Welsh foods.
"These special designations mean that Welsh lamb or Halen Mon can only be made here in Wales, and our producers don't have to compete with cheap imitations."
But Vincent Bailey, a spokesman for Vote Leave Cymru, said: "These claims are absolute nonsense because protected food status works both ways.
"The UK would ensure that our products were protected in the EU by striking a new deal, it's as simple as that. And the EU would want to strike a deal to protect their own products in the UK from unfair competition from inferior products."
There should be a guarantee that students from NI will not have to pay non-EU fees when the UK leaves the EU, said Fianna Fáil's Thomas Byrne.
The Republic's student contribution fee is currently capped at 3,000 euros (£2,500) a year for EU students.
But non-EU students currently pay much higher tuition fees in the country.
For instance, University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin charge yearly fees of around 18,000 euros for many undergraduate courses.
Some medical degrees can attract much higher fees, of around 40,000 euros per year.
Brexit was causing a great deal of worry for students and their families, said Mr Byrne, Fianna Fáil's education spokesman.
"The minister for education and the government need to act on this and provide certainty on the issue of fees for Northern students coming south," he said.
"They should be treated the same as they are today.
"Non-EU fees are charged at a significantly higher rate than EU fees and will undoubtedly place a significant financial barrier in the path of students from Northern Ireland wishing to study south of the border."
"This would fly in the face of the letter and spirit of our various peace deals and the last two decades of cross-border work."
Students from the UK - including those from Northern Ireland - who begin university courses in the Republic of Ireland in September 2017 will not have to pay non-EU fees for the duration of their course.
The same guarantee is likely to apply to students beginning their courses in September 2018.
However, it is currently unclear which level of fees UK students who begin to study in the Republic in 2019 will have to pay.
According to figures supplied by the Republic's Higher Education Authority, only 0.4% of full-time students were from NI in 2015/16, a total of 791 students.
This is despite the fact that university undergraduate tuition fees in the Republic are currently lower at 3,000 euros a year compared to £3,805 in NI.
However, there has been a recent rise in the number of Northern Irish students applying to some universities in the Republic.
Matthew Sampson was notified by Royal Mail last week of a "potential hazard" at his home in Patchway near Bristol which was "affecting deliveries".
According to Royal Mail, Bella the cat is a "threat" to staff and has been putting "fingers at risk of injury".
But owner Matthew Sampson, said he was "shocked" by the notice as he has "never seen her get aggressive".
In the letter, Royal Mail states it has been "experiencing difficulties in delivering mail" to Mr Sampson's address "because of the actions of a cat".
It said the couple's postman had reported that when he pushes mail through their letterbox their cat "snatches the mail and put his fingers at risk of injury".
They have been advised to "restrain their cat at all times" or provide an alternative "safe" post box or their post would be suspended.
Mr Sampson said he "understands where the postman is coming from" but had found the letter "really funny".
"We've noticed over the last couple of days that the postman is very hesitant at putting the letters in and Bella thinks it's a game that he's trying to play," he said.
"I haven't seen her put her paws all the way through but I think it's fair what they're saying - it's just how they're worded the letter.
"As to restraining the cat - I'd no way dare."
The 34-year-old defender has made 78 league appearances for Town since joining from Cardiff in September 2014.
Boss David Wagner said: "It is a great move to keep him here as a coach in the long-term, but I believe he still has a big part to play on the pitch.
"He is a 100% professional and has a winning mentality."
Three club patrons have resigned since BBC Sport revealed on Tuesday that Evans, 25, would train with his former club after serving a prison sentence.
But United manager Nigel Clough said it had "nowhere near been decided" whether or not to re-sign Evans.
Shirt sponsor DBL Logistics said it "strongly condemns rape and violence".
Media playback is not supported on this device
A company statement read: "DBL Logistics would end its back-of-shirt sponsorship with Sheffield United if the club employed a convicted rapist.
"However, whilst the current situation remains and Ched Evans is not contracted to Sheffield United, DBL Logistics will continue its business to business relationship with the club."
John Holland Sales, which sponsors the front of players' shirts, said it will "re-evaluate" its position if Evans rejoins the Blades.
Clough, whose side were beaten 1-0 by Walsall in the Football League Trophy on Wednesday, told BBC Radio Sheffield: "How you can sign a player that has not played football for two years and seven months? I don't think anyone is in a position to do that.
"Believe it or not, it isn't the top of our priorities. We have four games in 10 days.
"Those games will determine if we stay in two cup competitions and whether we get back in the top six in the league. Those are our priorities."
Campaign groups have criticised the decision to allow Wales international Evans to train with the club.
TV presenter Charlie Webster said on Tuesday that she was standing down as a patron, saying the club failed to acknowledged the "extremity" of Evans's crime.

Two more patrons - 1960s pop star Dave Berry and school food and health adviser Lindsay Graham - stood down on Wednesday.
Berry told the BBC he "needed to make a moral stand", while Graham said she was standing down for "personal" reasons.
Sheffield Central MP Paul Blomfield wrote an open letter to Sheffield United co-chairmen Kevin McCabe and Jim Phipps urging the club to reconsider the decision to allow Evans to train with the squad.
Evans, who maintains his innocence, has scored 59 goals in 167 appearances during spells with Manchester City, Norwich City and Sheffield United.
He was sentenced to five years in April 2012 for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room in May 2011, having been found guilty by a jury at Caernarfon Crown Court. At his trial, he admitted having sex with the woman but denied rape.
Evans was released from prison in October after serving half of his sentence. He has not offered any apology to his victim.
He has declined any request to be interviewed by the BBC, but released a video statement on his personal website in which he said he wanted to play again.
An inquiry into his conviction will be fast-tracked by the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the body which examines potential miscarriages of justice.
Almost 157,000 people have signed a petition urging United not to take the player back after the club chose not to renew his contract following his conviction. His deal expired during his sentence.
The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) asked United to allow Evans to train at the club in an attempt to regain fitness.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor said: "As a trade union, it is our role to offer help and guidance to all our members, whether dealing with success or the utmost difficulties.
"We have some current and former players who are in prison or have served time in prison.
"It is a fundamental part of the justice system in this country and society in general that a person serves the punishment which the court determines is appropriate and, providing that has been done, an individual is entitled to be released to continue with his or her life."
Using techniques normally used by biologists, the researchers investigated common links between stories from around the world.
The study found that stories like Beauty and the Beast and Rumpelstiltskin can be traced back around 4,000 years, with one tale originating from the Bronze Age (around 6,000 years ago).
Until now it was thought they they only dated back around 500 years.

In class we are looking at alternative fairy tales. We've been reading Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl. Our favourite one is Little Red Riding Hood. It's just like the original but with a different ending. It's really funny.

But if you're still looking for a reason to raise a glass this weekend, an old Irish celebration known as Nollaig na mBan, or 'Women's Christmas', could give you just the excuse you need.
In the Christian calendar, the Feast of the Epiphany on 6 January is viewed as the last day of Christmas - marking the revelation of God as human in Jesus Christ.
It was also, historically, a day when weary Irish women were freed from domestic Christmas chores to enjoy the festive leftovers with their female friends and neighbours.
Nollaig na mBan has been reclaimed by a cultural movement, using it as an opportunity to pay homage to their female ancestors.
'Illuminate Herstory' was thought up by former advertising and marketing executive Melanie Lynch.
Melanie explained that the light projection festival will illuminate towns and cities across Northern Ireland and the Republic with images of women as the last of the Christmas lights go out.
"From the shadows into the light, we want to share women's stories from families and communities and resurrect tales of lost national heroines and women admired around the world," she told BBC News NI.
"We want to light up homes, town squares, theatres, museums and iconic buildings."
The festival also incorporates music, comedy, theatre, fashion, dance, photography, poetry, fine art and film.
"It doesn't have to be complicated - every classroom and boardroom have projectors, most towns have at least one outdoor projector, and in our homes there are great family photographs.
"The national archives have incredible images of women too. So we're appealing to community groups and wider, national organisations, to get involved by organising an event that can be big or small.
"You can arrange storytellers, performers and 'herstorians' as we're calling them, or just keep it simple and host a small gathering of friends and family."
The objective, she says, is to start an annual event that inspires the world to celebrate women.
The Palace Street Offices on Dame Street in the heart of Dublin are already lit up with images of six iconic Irish women to launch the event.
Aviatrix Lady Mary Heath, astronomer Agnes Clerke, Queen of Paraguay Eliza Lynch, St. Brigid, Gormlaith 'High Queen of Ireland' and renowned computer programmer Kay McNulty are all depicted in the exhibit.
"But Illuminate Herstory doesn't stop in Ireland," said Melanie.
"Irish Diaspora networks have already sent the invitation to participate around the world. We've been told that Manger Square in Bethlehem is going to be lit up with images of Irish women at the weekend, which will be incredible if it happens."
She said the interest in the event was particularly keen in Northern Ireland.
"The north is just so full of inspirational women, women who sacrificed so much for the peace process and beyond, so we're delighted towns and cities across Northern Ireland have got involved."
In Fermanagh, Enniskillen Castle and the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh will be lit up in a purple hue until Sunday to mark the event.
In Belfast, the WANDA feminist group will be driving around the city in a campervan on Sunday night from 19:00 GMT projecting images of female filmmakers onto walls, and Carnmoney in County Antrim will be illuminated in memory of aviator Lilian Bland.
But unsung heroines are just as important, said Melanie.
"The Irish are known as great storytellers but until now, we've only told half the story. As well as the great artists, aviators, astronomers and politicians, we want to hear about the mothers and mavericks and wives and women who were never celebrated before.
"We want to start the year with a bit of optimism and hope and it's really easy to get involved and pay tribute to the women you love."
Swindon Borough Council was granted a court order, which prevents Kathryn Beale from continuing her business until she can prove it is safe.
Ms Beale, 41, said she believed there was no risk to health but had no option but to obey the order.
The council said it was legally obliged to investigate possible health risks.
Ms Beale, who runs Optimum Doula in Swindon, said it was natural for mothers to consume their own placenta straight after birth.
"Pretty much every other mammal on the planet [does it]," she said.
"It's full of iron and other nutrients that are very good for new mums who have just been through a very energy-expending experience."
Magistrates granted an emergency hygiene prohibition order to the council on Friday, after concerns were raised over safety because the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria can be present on human placenta.
But, Ms Beale said there was no risk to health from the drinks, which are made from an 8cm (3in) long piece of fresh placenta blended with fruit.
"There is a big difference between there being bacteria present in food and it actually being a risk," she said.
"I personally have seen scientific evidence that makes me believe the risk is not there."
The council said the prohibition order was granted "to prevent Optimum Doula from providing placenta processing services for the purpose of human consumption of raw and cooked placenta on grounds that such practices present an imminent risk to public health".
"The council is legally obliged to investigate any food businesses where food processing services being provided to the public present a potential risk to health," a spokeswoman said.
Ms Beale said she could not afford to challenge the ruling.
"I can't fight them in court because it would cost me thousands and thousands of pounds if I were to lose," she said.
"I have stopped [producing the placenta smoothies]."
Raith peppered Scott Gallacher's goal but Ryan Hardie and Lewis Toshney were among those denied.
Steven Hetherington made the visitors pay by drilling one past Gallacher into the bottom left corner.
But Benedictus levelled at the death to leave Alloa waiting for their first win since January 12.
The 26-year-old flanker has been advised to take a three-month rest after suffering concussion playing for Wales against Italy on 19 March.
Charvis applauded the decision to give Tipuric a break and the trend towards caution in dealing with head injuries.
"Better safe than sorry," he said. "There's plenty of rugby ahead let's just make sure [he] is looked after."
"Ospreys will miss him for the end of the season and Wales will definitely miss him."
Tipuric's region face an uphill struggle to secure top-flight European rugby next season and in June Wales will play three away Test matches against the All Blacks.
Ospreys have played in the top flight European Cup competition every year since their inception in 2003, but are currently ninth in the Pro12 - three places and nine points outside the qualification places.
Tipuric is the second Wales international to be forced to take an extended break from the game following a head injury in the past 18 months.
Wing George North was out of action between between March and September in 2015 after a series of blows to the head.
Charvis, who played 94-times for Wales between 1996 and 2007, said the management of players after head injuries today is much better than when he was playing.
"In my generation and before ignorance was kind of bliss then, wasn't it?" he said.
"If you could walk in a straight line you could go back on the pitch and we don't know the long-term effects of all the concussions we had."
Ethiopia's Tedros Adhanom said the two nations have chosen to swim rather than sink together, AFP news agency reports.
He met his Egyptian counterpart Kamel Amr after Egypt opposed Ethiopia's plans for a hydroelectric dam.
Egypt is worried that the dam will reduce the water supply vital for its 84 million people.
Last week, Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi said he did not want war but he would not allow Egypt's water supply to be endangered by the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
Mr Morsi said he was keeping "all options open".
Previous statements about the dam had been made "in the heat of the moment", Mr Amr said, at a joint press conference with Mr Tedros in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, AFP reports.
"We are embarking on a period of mutual cooperation," Mr Amr is quoted by Bloomberg news agency as saying.
"We're looking to the future and I think the future will be very good for both of us."
In a joint statement, Mr Amr and Mr Tedros said that relations between Egypt and Ethiopia remained "brotherly" and talks to assess the impact of the dam would continue.
"We have two options, either to swim or sink together. I think Ethiopia chooses, and so does Egypt, to swim together," Mr Tedros said, AFP reports.
Mr Amr said Sudan would also be involved in the talks.
"[We agreed to] ask for further studies to ascertain the effects of the dam, not only the safety of the dam, the environmental effects, but also the effects of the dam on the downstream countries," he added, AFP reports.
Ethiopia's parliament ratified a controversial treaty last week to replace colonial-era agreements that gave Egypt and Sudan the biggest share of the Nile's water.
The treaty had earlier been signed by five other Nile-basin countries - Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Burundi.
It is intended to replace the 1929 treaty written by Britain that awarded Egypt veto power over any project involving the Nile by upstream countries.
Ethiopia says the $4.7bn (£3.1bn) dam will eventually provide 6,000 megawatts of power.
Egypt was apparently caught by surprise when Ethiopia started diverting the Blue Nile - a tributary of the Nile - last month.
Addis Ababa says the river will be slightly diverted but will then be able to follow its natural course.
Mr Morsi said Egypt had no objection to projects in Nile basin states "on condition that those projects do not affect or damage Egypt's legal and historical rights".
Earlier this month Egyptian politicians were inadvertently heard on live TV proposing military action over the dam.
Real were far from convincing against their newly promoted neighbours until Bale latched on to Isco's pass to open the scoring.
The Wales forward got a second on the stroke of half-time after bundling the ball over from close range.
Alvaro Morata added the third after the interval.
Relive the action from the Bernabeu
Zinedine Zidane's side moved five points clear of second-placed Barcelona, who are in action later on Sunday away to third-placed Sevilla (19:45 GMT).
Yet Real, who blew a 2-0 lead to draw 3-3 at Legia Warsaw in the Champions League in midweek, struggled against their lowly opponents before Bale broke the deadlock seven minutes before half-time.
He raced on to a through ball from Isco that split the visiting defence and rounded goalkeeper Jon Serantes to tuck the ball inside the near post from a tight angle.
Bale then took advantage of poor defending from a free-kick to hit the second. Even then Real looked vulnerable.
It required a finger-tip save by Keylor Navas to deny Alexander Szymanowski before Morata, standing in for the injured Karim Benzema, made it 3-0.
A big plus for Zidane is the return from the bench of midfielder Luka Modric after injury.
The Real manager's options will be boosted further when Brazilian midfielder Casemiro returns from injury in the near future.
He will be needed.
Real's first game after the international break is away at neighbours Atletico Madrid, while the first El Clasico of the season against Barcelona is on 3 December.

Claudio Ranieri's side beat Oxford 2-1 and drew 1-1 with Scottish champions Celtic before heading to Los Angeles.
Heskey, who is an an ambassador for the club, told BBC Radio Leicester: "Claudio has got them super fit.
"I was very, very impressed with their fitness levels for only their second game of pre-season."
Leicester face Paris St Germain in Los Angeles on Saturday, before heading to Stockholm to play Barcelona the following Wednesday.
The English champions finish their pre-season campaign against FA Cup winners Manchester United in the FA Community Shield on Sunday, 7 August.
"The lads' intensity was very high and I was very impressed with that," said Heskey. "It looks good, it looks promising."
The Foxes shocked the footballing world when they won the Premier League title last season, and Heskey believes they should "keep doing the same" in the new campaign.
"They showed good pace and intensity against Celtic and it is pretty much the same as last year," the former England international added.
"Going into this season is going to be difficult, but it is going to be interesting to see how they get on."

Police said attendees, including a Briton and a Singaporean, paid 185,000 rupiahs ($14; £10) to attend.
Indonesia has witnessed increasing hostility towards its small and low-profile LGBTQ community.
Homosexuality is not illegal under Indonesian law, except in conservative Aceh province.
But Jakarta police spokesman Raden Argo Yuwono said some of those detained could be charged under Indonesia's harsh anti-pornography laws.
"There were gay people who were caught strip-teasing and masturbating in the scene," he told BBC Indonesian.
Under the ambiguously-worded laws, putting on a live strip show for the enjoyment of the public could be construed as "pornography".
Last week, two men were sentenced to public caning in Aceh after being convicted for engaging in gay sex - in the first such ruling since tough anti-homosexuality laws were introduced there in 2014.
Earlier this month, Indonesian police arrested 14 people in the city of Surabaya for allegedly holding a gay party. They could also face charges under anti-pornography laws.
The organisation's annual world report said the rise of Islamic State (IS) "did not emerge in a vacuum" but was the result of regional abuses.
It said Iraq's and Syria's governments had created fertile ground for IS.
It also blamed the US for ignoring the abuses and concentrating solely on its military battle against IS militants.
"Human rights violations played a major role in spawning or aggravating most of today's crises," argued Kenneth Roth, director of the US-based watchdog, as Human Rights Watch (HRW) unveiled its 660-page World Report 2015 .
But while the world may seem to be "unravelling," many governments "appear to have concluded that today's serious security threats must take precedence over human rights", he said.
"In this difficult moment, they seem to argue, human rights must be put on the back burner, a luxury for less trying times," he said. However, shelving them is "not only wrong, but also short-sighted and counterproductive", he said.
Four years after the arrival of the "Arab Spring" brought hopes for a new era of justice in the Middle East, the report makes grim reading, the BBC's Jim Muir reports from Beirut, where the report was presented.
The report singles out many countries in the region - especially Iraq, Syria and Egypt - for trampling on human rights in the name of facing security challenges which it argued themselves had their roots in abuses of power.
The dramatic arrival of IS had led to a subordination of human rights, the report said, adding: "Rarely has an armed force engendered such widespread revulsion and opposition."
However, the abusive sectarian polices pursued by the Iraqi government, and the "atrocities" inflicted on civilians by the Assad regime in Syria, had been "important factors in fuelling" IS, the report said.
And the regional governments were not the only ones to blame, HRW said.
In Iraq, the US-led 2003 invasion had left a security vacuum and there had been subsequent "international indifference" to abuses by the Iraqi government, the report said.
Meanwhile, it said, in Syria, the US and its allies had allowed military action against IS to "overshadow" efforts to get Damascus to end abuses.
"This selective concern allows Isis recruiters to portray themselves to potential supporters as the only force willing to stand up to Assad's atrocities," the report said, using another acronym for the IS militant group.
As for Egypt, the report said the crushing of the Muslim Brotherhood sent the message to political Islamists that there was no point going to the polls, because they would be repressed anyway.
"Rather than treating human rights as a chafing restraint, policymakers worldwide would do better to recognise them as moral guides offering a path out of crisis and chaos," Mr Roth concluded.
A woman, 43, and a 23-year-old man were arrested in Glasgow on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and money-laundering offences.
Some 300 mainly elderly people have been tricked out of money, police said.
Victims of the fraud are given "elaborate and convincing" reasons to withdraw cash which is then sent by taxi or courier.
The two latest victims, in Salisbury, Wiltshire, and Tiverton, Devon, lost £98,000. Other victims have been from the Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall areas.
Properties were searched in the Castlemilk and Crosshill areas of Glasgow, a police spokesman said.
Officers seized a high-value car and a "significant" amount of money following the searches, officers said.
The spokesman said victims of the crimes in the Devon and Cornwall and Wiltshire police force areas had been duped out of about £2m by fraudsters since March.
They said the scam involves criminals phoning victims, who are normally elderly, and pretending to be a police officer.
The victims are then encouraged by the fraudster, who uses "elaborate and convincing" reasons to withdraw large sums of cash, which they are then asked to send to a destination by taxi or a courier, or by electronic transfer to another bank account.
Det Insp Tony Hubbard said he was worried the 300 police know about "may just be the tip of the iceberg" and that others may be "too embarrassed" to report they had been conned.
The court said on its official microblog that using "freezing, starving, extreme heat, fire branding or extreme exhaustion" to extract confessions was also illegal.
It is the latest in a series of moves aimed at reforming the Chinese police and other security agencies.
Last week, China said it was abolishing "re-education through labour" camps.
The system, which started in the 1950s, allowed the police to send anyone to prison for up to four years without a trial. It was almost impossible to appeal against a sentence under the system.
The new announcement comes a week after Chinese officials concluded a four-day, closed-door meeting in Beijing at which a number of reforms were agreed.
The Supreme Court has ordered lower courts to exclude evidence obtained by torture "in a bid to promote fair justice", state-run Xinhua news agency says.
"Evidence must be valued," Xinhua said, quoting a court document.
"The traditional concept and practice of a testimony being the most paramount should be changed, and more attention should be paid to examining and using material evidence," the document added.
The document also makes clear that courts should remain independent, must follow legal procedure and should not become involved in police investigations, Xinhua says.
However, enforcing a ban on this behaviour will be difficult, says the BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing.
For years, the country's judicial and law enforcement agencies have issued joint pledges to stop using torture or accepting evidence obtained through torture, but the practice appears to be fairly common, our correspondent adds.
"In the judicial system in China the public security system is by far the most powerful institution, and there are effectively very few checks and balances on how it exerts its power," Nicholas Bequelin, of rights group Human Rights Watch, was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
One of the more high-profile recent cases involving torture had to do with a Chinese official who died during questioning by Communist Party investigators in April.
State media reported that Yu Qiyi's head was submerged under water several times during his interrogation for his alleged role in a corrupt land deal.
The investigators were eventually jailed after being found guilty of "intentional injury", according to reports.
The fault involved runners' "chip time", usually triggered by microchips worn by entrants as they pass sensors at the start and finish lines.
Organisers said a "malfunction" on Sunday meant not all 3,150 chips were read at the start line at Royal Norfolk Showground.
Organiser Hugh Magill said he was "not interested" in talking about the fault.
He added he was happy to talk about "all the good things" about the half marathon.
Separately, the organisers have apologised on their website and Facebook page and offered to add runners' personally-recorded race times to its official results, which will not be confirmed until Friday.
It said the equipment was tested before the half marathon "but sadly technical faults can hit anyone".
"Regrettably, an equipment malfunction immediately before the race start caused the loss of several hundred start times, and if this affects you then we apologise unreservedly," it said.
It also suggested those with no race time should email with their details and "a brief description of what you were wearing and we will do our best to track you down on the finish line video".
The majority of comments on the half marathon's Facebook page praise the "well organised, friendly" event.
But John Moore went on to say the fault was a "complete fiasco".
Others suggested a refund of the £23 fee, or free entry for the 2016 event "as we didn't get what we paid for".
Dave Reading added: "Great event. But paid for a service that I have not received what are you planning to do about this?"
That changed earlier this year when she suffered a stroke - it left her paralysed down one side of her body.
Stroke mainly affects people over in their 60s.
However, the most recent NHS figures for England show that more than a 1,000 people under 30 were admitted to hospital in the year 2011/12 because of a stroke.
Now aged 21, Elizabeth describes being paralysed as feeling similar to carrying three heavy sandbags around with her.
"Before my stroke I used to go clubbing quite a lot and shopping. I liked getting dressed up with all my girl mates, and making ourselves look pretty and going out and having a laugh," she says.
"Two weeks before my stroke my arm went completely numb while I was at work.
"I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was just because the night before I went drinking.
"My mum took me to A and E and they just said it was a trapped nerve, because obviously my age was too young to have a stroke.
"I was looking in my mirror one day a few weeks after and my face started to droop a bit.
"I looked at my ex-boyfriend and I asked him if it was and he said it wasn't.
"I kind of made a joke about it. I said, 'What would you do if I had a stroke?' and kind of had a little giggle because obviously I didn't think anything of it.
"I just carried on and pushed through because I didn't think it could happen to me.
"I went to sleep and halfway through the night I couldn't sleep very well so I called my step-dad upstairs. I was just laying on the floor. He put me to bed and just calmed me down.
"The next day I woke up and my mum was sitting on the end of my bed saying to me, 'Why aren't you at uni? Why aren't you getting up for uni?'
"I looked at her and I looked really confused.
"I tried to move my left side and it just didn't move at all.
"I was laying on my right side, so I tried to physically lift my left side to turn over to get out of bed and where my leg was paralysed I had no control over my core muscles, so I couldn't swing my legs over to sit on the end of the bed.
"I looked at my mum and that's when I started crying.
"The best way to describe [having a stroke] is like having a Slender Tone and when you put it on your stomach and it's literally shooting into your stomach - that's exactly what it felt like all down my face and all down my left side.
"It's almost like having a three sandbags attached to your arm and just pulling it, so much so that your face is going with it and your whole face is lopsided and you can't move your head or anything.
"When I got home that was when I realised that I need the independence to actually leave the house and get out and do stuff.
"I was in a wheelchair when I came out because they didn't want me to walk for quite a while. Being pushed in a wheelchair was quite difficult.
"I was looking at everyone walking around thinking, 'I used to be able to do that and I wish I could do that again.'
"I was too tired to actually walk, so I used to just sit in my wheelchair and just feel really down.
"A lot of people look at me as if to say, 'You're 20 years old, why are you sitting in a disabled seat on the bus?'
"I have to do my lip liner a lot higher on the left side almost so I look like a clown. I have to draw the outline and get it all equal so it's all equal with the other side.
"I have to think to smile equally, so if my boyfriend tries to take a photo of me, I'm like, 'Right, you need to smile and I have to look at the camera to be like is my face equal and if it's not I'll lift my left side.'
"Sometimes when I smile I have to look into the camera. So like if I'm taking a selfie, I'll have to re-take it because if my left side droops at bit I'll kind of have to pick up my left side.
"When I kiss my boyfriend it feels normal, sometimes I'll dribble a bit so I'll have to look at him and wipe it.
"I'm definitely stronger, from everything I've learnt this year and everything I've gained like friends, family and just having that support has helped me a lot."

A dermatologist from skin cancer charity Melanoma UK said many people did not realise they were at risk even if the windows were closed.
Caerphilly minibus driver Carl O'Brien has backed the campaign after undergoing treatment. Precancerous cells were found on his right arm.
"I don't think a lot of drivers realise how dangerous it is," he said.
Dr Christian Aldridge, of Melanoma UK, said: "The windscreen does not protect you from sunlight so you can burn through the windscreen.
"Most people have their right forearm out the window and so you get a lot more contact with the sun on that side."
Mr O'Brien, who has been given the all-clear following treatment, said: "I went to the GP about something else to do with my skin and he found a pre cancerous lesion on my arm.
"I nearly fell of my chair," he said. "Everything is fine now, thank God."
According to Melanoma UK, around 2,400 deaths in the UK last year were due to melanoma, with more than 14,500 new diagnoses.
The charity has joined forces with motoring website Confused.com to promote the campaign.
An independent review published by Salford Safeguarding Board said it was "difficult to think of a more vulnerable child".
The girl, who is deaf and cannot speak, was trafficked from Pakistan aged ten.
Her plight was only detected when she was found by trading standards' officers investigating a scam.
Ilyas Ashar was jailed for raping the girl, benefits fraud and trafficking, and his wife Tallat was jailed for benefits fraud and trafficking.
The pair succeeded in "in maintaining a cruel deception," the report notes.
The 76-page report said none of the various agencies protected the girl, who worked as a servant, when they came into contact with her.
It stated: "For a country with a reputation as a safe place in which human rights are upheld and with sophisticated arrangements for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, this was indeed a shaming failing."
It highlighted key failures by official agencies:
It said there was a series of missed opportunities by different authorities.
The girl arrived from Pakistan on a forged passport which put her at twice her actual age.
She never had an interpreter when she was seen by different officials.
The girl had an employment contract with the couple ensuring she would neither have sex nor be locked indoors against her will, which could "have suggested she was vulnerable", said the report.
NHS staff were "too inhibited" about race issues to question the family.
The couple were originally sentenced at Manchester Crown Court in October 2013, but had their sentences increased in February last year, with Ilyas Ashar's extended from 13 years to 15 and Tallat Ashar's sentence raised from five to six years.
Social services said the girl, now in her 20s, had made a "remarkable recovery".
It is part of the Cape Flats, an area notorious for drugs and crime - but Ms Xabanisa hopes to use wine to help change this neighbourhood's reputation.
"I've always enjoyed farming but I never thought I'd be growing grapes. It feels good to be doing something different," she says, smiling.
"Growing grapes here is still strange for some people but most are just curious about how they will turn out."
The 64-year-old is a grower for Township Winery - a black-owned wine company.
The idea of planting grapes here came about in 2009, the soil was tested and found to be suitable, and the first commercial vines were then planted in the area, the company's spokesperson Nomhle Zondani tells me as we walk through the township.
"Vines take about five years to mature, so we had to find women who would understand the commitment needed to see this through," she says.
"We had to explain to the community that this is not going to bring easy money - that the success would come once we harvest."
Ms Zondani says one of the biggest challenges has been ensuring that there's a steady stream of growers - because there are no immediate returns.
But Ms Xabanisa says this project is giving her something to do. Sitting in a green plastic chair pruning her vine, she tells me that many people here are dependent on government grants. The elderly women says she wants something different for her family.
"I am hoping to pass on the skills I have learned to my four children and grandchildren so they don't end up in the streets or as criminals," she says.
Ms Xabanisa hopes this is the beginning of a family business, where they can be owners and not just workers.
South Africa's wine industry dates back to the 17th Century with the arrival of the settlers from Europe.
Fast forward to 2015 and the industry is still mainly white-owned, with most black involvement limited to providing the labour.
Since the advent of democracy and with mounting calls for the industry to be more racially representative, sprinkles of black farmers are now making it into the fold.
But many still consider wine a drink to be enjoyed by the white elite, something Township Winery hopes to change - even if just in Cape Town.
According to a 2014 study, commissioned by the SA Wine Industry Information & Systems (SAWIS), which compiles statistics on the industry, South Africa ranks as seventh largest producer of wine in terms of volume - contributing 4.2% of the world's wine.
But this multimillion dollar industry largely benefits older and more established companies who have more resources to claim a bigger share of the market.

Township Winery's success hinges on partnering with some of the more established companies.
Once their grapes leave their township, they are driven to a bottling plant in Stellenbosch, a 30-minute drive from Cape Town.
Here their grapes are mixed with produce from some of the best vineyards - to create a unique blend.
I notice that the region is a stark contrast to the dry streets of Nyanga - here the vines of South Africa's most established wine companies sprawl for kilometres on end.
Ms Zondani says they hope to one day replicate the large-scale farming model in the township - and create even more jobs.
"Before the resettlement of people in the 1960s, the Cape Flats had vineyards. All of them are gone now but the soil is still fertile. We want to bring this part of Cape Town back to its former glory," she says.
At the height of white-minority rule, people of colour were not allowed to own land.
Through policies such as the Group Areas Act, they were dispossessed of their land and moved to "black areas". The resettlements were also a way of enforcing racial segregation.
"If we fail, we would have failed the townships that we come from. Many communities are depending on us to make history," she says.
Despite their challenges, word is slowly spreading about the township wines.
The most popular is the Philippi wine, a sauvignon blanc, says Nkosi Madotyeni, who manages the Roeland Liquors shop in the heart of Cape Town.
"It's quite popular here - people come the store just for the wine," he said.
"Many people can't believe that something of this great quality came from a group of women with nothing. Its absolutely amazing."
Mr Madotyeni believes the wine will change stereotypes about the local wine industry - and even about the community of the Cape Flats.
"Wine is seen as something for white people, this township wine is showing many here that things are changing slowly but surely. Its inspiring to watch."
Back in Nyanga, Ms Xabanisa hopes more doors open for women like her in this line of business. She hopes that what started as a project in backyards will leave a lasting legacy for her loved ones and her community.
Margaret Thatcher was my first interview with a prime minister on Today: a truly scary prospect for the new boy, if only because you could never be quite sure what she might say.
I wanted to try to get some insight into what informed her politics and asked her about what she, as a practising Christian, saw as the essence of her faith. She surprised me by saying: "Choice."
She added: "How can you express unselfish love if you have no choice? The fundamental choice is the right to choose between good and evil. And the fundamental reason for being on this Earth is so to improve your character that you are fit for the next world."
I try - and fail - to imagine getting into a discussion with a modern party leader a few days before a general election and talking theology.
Mrs Thatcher was - insofar as any politician has ever been - unspun.
Of course she had a press secretary. What she didn't have was a vast team of spin doctors who monitor - even sometimes dictate - ministers' every move and every word.
One morning she actually phoned into the programme from the kitchen at No 10 to react to an interview I had just done. Years later her press secretary, Bernard Ingham, told me the first he knew of his boss being interviewed was when he heard it as he was driving to work.
"I nearly drove off the bloody road!" he told me. Again, unimaginable today.
Mrs Thatcher never complained about the treatment she got at the hands of us lot.
Things started changing when John Major came to power and I had what I thought was a friendly but combative chat with the then Chancellor, Ken Clarke.
Well maybe not too friendly. A few weeks later, the Cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken made a speech attacking me for having poisoned the well of democratic debate.
He claimed I had interrupted Mr Clarke 32 times in that one interview and ministers should stop exposing themselves to that sort of treatment.
Not that it bothered Mr Clarke. He later said: "My reaction when interrupted by Humphrys was to interrupt his questions if he was going to interrupt my answers."
Everything changed when New Labour arrived on the scene led by a fresh-faced young Tony Blair. New Labour: new approach to the media.
And it worked, at the start. When Mr Blair got into big trouble over sleaze allegations he invited me down to Chequers to talk to him for the On The Record programme.
"I think most people who have dealt with me think I'm a pretty straight sort of guy and I am," he told me.
A month later, there was trouble on a different front. An admittedly lively exchange with Harriet Harman, who was the social security secretary at the time, produced a response from Downing Street the like of which the programme had never generated before.
It was a letter threatening to withdraw co-operation from Today unless something was done about what they called the "John Humphrys problem".
That letter foreshadowed a more confrontational relationship between Downing Street and journalists, especially in the BBC, over the years to come.
In 2003, we invaded Iraq because, we were told by Tony Blair, Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He didn't.
Three months later I did a perfectly unremarkable early morning three-minute interview with a correspondent. I've done thousands of them over the last 30 years.
Did I say unremarkable? It nearly brought down the BBC. Andrew Gilligan had been told by a reliable source that the dossier warning us of the threat from Saddam had been deliberately sexed up.
That claim was ultimately to lead to the suicide of the source, Dr David Kelly, the destruction of Tony Blair's reputation and the resignation of the two most senior men in the BBC: the director general and the chairman.
Orchestrating the government's defence was the No 10 spin doctor, Alastair Campbell, easily the most powerful man ever to hold that role.
Some years later I spoke to Campbell about the effect he'd had on the relationship between politicians and media during the early years of Blair's leadership.
"I was always of the view, when Tony asked me to work for him, that we had to change the terms of the trade, that the press had been frankly setting the political agenda… and in a way which in my mind was detrimental to the interests of the Labour Party," he said.
"So we did make changes and some of those changes were absolutely necessary and I would defend them to the hilt.
"I think at times we probably went over the top. I think sometimes we were too aggressive and sometimes when we got into government for the first couple of years we maybe took some of the techniques of opposition into government."
Then we come to David Cameron.
He may have been the heir to Blair, but he did not inherit the Blair spin machine.
Or rather he believed that if he appealed directly to the people they would listen to what he had to say and respect his wisdom.
In the end that was to bring him down with the EU referendum result.
So now, another "new dawn", another prime minister, another approach to getting the message across.
Theresa May told us she won't give a running commentary on Brexit. Nor has there been.
On the contrary, this is a prime minister who's been attacked for keeping her true thoughts to herself - so far at least.
That may change in the coming days when we find out what she really means when she tells us Brexit means Brexit. But still, hard to imagine her doing a Thatcher and discussing theology at 08:10 on the Today programme.
Louis Richardson of Jersey is alleged to have groped her at a house party while she was unwell in bed.
Durham Crown Court was told the woman's boyfriend challenged Mr Richardson, 21, via a Facebook message.
Mr Richardson has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault. He also denies the rape and sexual assault of another woman.
The court heard that in response to the message, in which Mr Richardson was accused of being "totally out of order", he wrote: "I always endeavour to accept responsibility for any of my actions, though my recollections of the evening are hazy at best.
"Please send on any such apologies in advance of me doing so in person."
The woman's boyfriend said: "She said she was asleep and had started to wake up to find Louis had put his hand on her breast."
The court also heard details of a rape charge. It was said to have happened after Mr Richardson, of Midvale Road, St Helier, met a woman at a nightclub.
The woman - who described herself as having been "crazy drunk" - went to Mr Richardson's home. The next thing she could remember was waking in the morning naked, with the accused calling her "rubbish in bed" as she had been unresponsive, jurors heard.
Mr Richardson, the former secretary of Durham University's Union Society, denied making the comment.
In total, he faces one charge of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
The case was adjourned until Friday.
Joseph Heron, known as MC Shogun, had been ordered to do 240 hours' unpaid work for housebreaking but only completed 16 hours.
He was arrested shortly before he was due to support American rapper Nas at the O2 Academy in Glasgow last month.
Sheriff James Spy told him he had been "stupid" and faced a 12-month jail term if he failed to comply.
Heron was given a community payback order in November 2015 for breaking into a house in Paisley, stealing a laptop, a purse, gift cards and gift vouchers.
He also lashed out at police officers as they arrested him.
He subsequently failed to complete his community sentence and missed a number of court hearings.
He was taken into custody by police when he turned up for a soundcheck on 11 July ahead of a major career break, supporting US rapper Nas.
Defence solicitor Michael McKeown told Paisley Sheriff Court that Heron was trying to put his days of offending behind him.
He said: "These offences were committed in 2014 and he has not come to the attention of the police for any other matters.
"He was arrested from the O2 Arena where he was preparing to perform that night. That would've been the biggest professional event of his career.
"He now recognises he is not able to move forward until he has this matter fully addressed. He lacked maturity and insight and he regrets that."
Sentencing Shogun, Sheriff Spy said: "You've failed, on a number of occasions, to complete this order.
"You've had to be locked up - placed on remand - because you don't turn up to court and don't keep appointments.
"I hope your last period on remand is something which has brought home to you if you don't comply, that's where you'll end up.
"I don't want to lock you up unnecessarily because I think you're stupid rather than bad."
Vauxhall has been the lead sponsor of the England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland teams since 2011.
But a spokeswoman said Vauxhall wanted to start running separate marketing campaigns for individual models.
The deal for the England team is thought to be worth in the region of £5m to £6m per year.
When Vauxhall signed the deal in 2011 it did not have many new products coming out, but wanted to keep its brand "front of mind", the spokeswoman said.
Now Vauxhall's "business priorities have changed" and it wants to put money into marketing models such as the Crossland X SUV and the Insignia Grand Sport, she added.
However, in a statement, Vauxhall said it had not ruled out other sponsorship deals
"Since 2011, Vauxhall has been very proud to be the lead sponsor for each of the four home nations football associations (FAs), the first time this has ever been undertaken by a major organisation," it said.
Vauxhall had "agreed to explore other opportunities to continue its relationship with the FAs beyond the conclusion of the existing contracts." it added.
The English football association said "active discussions are under way regarding a lower level partnership" with Vauxhall.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes, supermarket chain Lidl, Mars chocolate and Carlsberg are among current sponsors of the England national team.
The Scottish FA said it would consider all the options open to it as it started the process of seeking a new main sponsor that was in the best interests of Scottish football.
Football Association of Wales (FAW) chief executive, Jonathan Ford, said: "The partnership between the FAW and Vauxhall has been hugely successful for both parties. We have enjoyed an excellent working relationship.
"We now look forward to enjoying similar success with our future lead sponsor."
The Irish Football Association said: "Over the past six years we have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Vauxhall."
It added that it looked forward to "working with new and existing sponsors in the future as we continue to promote, foster and develop football for all in Northern Ireland".
He will become ITV's political editor, and present his own political interview programme, Peston on Sunday.
The correspondent made the announcement on his BBC blog, saying: "You may have noticed that I am off to another place".
"Working for BBC News has been the high point of my working life," he added.
Peston's departure marks the end of a nine-year stint at the BBC, where he covered the financial crisis and broke the story of Northern Rock asking for emergency funding in 2007.
His new Sunday morning show will place him in direct competition with the BBC's Andrew Marr.
Speaking earlier on Wednesday, Marr said he welcomed the challenge.
"If it's true that he's going to do a Sunday morning nine o'clock show directly against mine then on one level I say that's fantastic, bring it on," he told the Radio Times.
"Competition is good."
But he also had a word of warning for his erstwhile colleague. "You have to absolutely subdue yourself and not think the programme's about you because it never is," he said.
"The Andrew Marr Show could be done by anybody if you get the right guests on it and you ask the right questions in the right order."
Peston joined the BBC from the Sunday Telegraph in 2005, initially as the corporation's business editor.
At first, he was mocked for his stilted delivery. The presenter's idiosyncratic style was variously described as "strangulated", "ragged and querulous" and like "a dalek" - but his reputation grew thanks to a series of scoops about the financial crisis.
"I think lots of people think I'm an eccentric broadcaster," he told The Guardian in 2013.
But, he added: "I don't really care what people think about my style, except in so far as it gets in the way of people understanding the story.
"If I felt I was not communicating the important stuff in a way people can understand, I would worry."
In recent years, he has presented satirical quiz show Have I Got News For You and a one-off edition of Newsnight.
He admitted he wanted to replace Jeremy Paxman on the latter programme, but was "never really in the frame for it".
Earlier this year in an interview with the Radio Times, which first reported his departure for ITV, Peston said he was looking for "another big challenge".
He said: "I love the BBC. I genuinely don't know… I mean, going from print journalism to the BBC was a big change, and I sort of feel that I wouldn't mind another big change, but I haven't the faintest idea what it would be."
As rumours of his departure circulated last week, several of Peston's BBC colleagues recorded a spoof "appeal", begging him to stay.
Among them was Radio 4 presenter Eddie Mair, who said he was "prepared to sell my kidney if it increases the amount of money the BBC can afford to offer."
Announcing Peston's appointment on Wednesday, ITV's head of news, Michael Jermey said: "We're delighted Robert is joining ITV. His distinctive and intelligent approach to journalism will fit well with ITV's news and current affairs output.
"Peston on Sunday will offer viewers a fresh and distinctive approach to political discussion at the weekend."
The BBC's head of news, James Harding, added: "Robert is an exceptional journalist and broadcaster who has broken some of the most important stories of the last decade. He has brought a singular insight to difficult and complex issues and he has a style - not to mention a hairstyle - all of his own.
"We'll all miss him."
The MV Hebrides, which had 76 passengers and crew on board, was unable to slow down as it attempted to dock at 11:00.
It had been travelling from Tarbert on Harris when it is believed to have suffered engine problems.
No passengers on board the Caledonian MacBrayne vessel were injured in the incident.
Norman MacAskill, a truck owner and farmer who was waiting to board the ferry, said it was immediately obvious something was wrong as the vessel approached.
He said: "As I watched the ferry coming round the bend of the pier, she seemed to be going very fast. She just kept on coming and it was clear something was drastically wrong.
"Then she came to a dead stop. Someone said she was stuck in forward gear. You could hear the sound of the engine churning up the sea.
"They eventually managed to get her to stop and in reverse, but on the way back she hit the pier."
All services on the route have been cancelled for the day after what Caledonian MacBrayne described as "a technical issue".
A CalMac statement said: "A technical failure led to the vessel being unable to reduce speed sufficiently for the routine docking procedures and she struck both pontoons in Lochmaddy harbour and the seabed.
"No-one was injured and the vessel's hull remains intact. A total of 76 passengers and crew were on board, as well as 13 cars, one lorry and one motorhome.
"She is now alongside safely at Lochmaddy. All passengers and vehicles have been disembarked and alternative routes for all those affected are being investigated.
"A team of divers is on its way to make underwater investigations of the hull and a full inquiry into what happened has been launched.
"Travel on the Uig-Tarbert-Lochmaddy route is disrupted and likely to remain so for some time/a minimum of 48 hours."
Steven Jackson, 40, and Michelle Higgins, 28, are accused of killing Kimberley MacKenzie at a flat in Montrose, Angus, last October.
Prosecutors claim Ms MacKenzie, 37, was struck with a hammer, machete and knife or similar items.
Mr Jackson and Ms Higgins also face an allegation of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
It is claimed Ms MacKenzie's body was dismembered using a saw, knives and a screwdriver or similar instruments.
Parts of the corpse are said to have been wrapped in bin liners and bags and hidden in bins at a number of addresses in Montrose.
It is further alleged Ms MacKenzie's head and other body parts were put inside a rucksack and case and concealed in a shower cubicle.
Walls, floors and other surfaces of the alleged murder scene are said to have been cleaned.
Caustic soda and bleach are also alleged to have been poured into a bath, and clothes and footwear are said to have been disposed of.
The charge claims this was all done "with intent to avoid detection, arrest and prosecution".
Jackson is further charged with two separate drugs accusations as well as having a machete in a public place.
Ms Higgins faces a similar allegation of having a knife.
The pair appeared for a short hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
Mr Jackson's QC Donald Findlay and Ms Higgins' lawyer Mark Stewart QC each pleaded not guilty on their behalf.
Judge Lady Scott set a trial due to take place in September in Edinburgh.
FCA chairman John Griffith-Jones and acting chief executive Tracey McDermott have been asked to appear before the Treasury Select Committee.
Andrew Tyrie, the committee's chairman, told the BBC that the city watchdog's decision to halt the inquiry was "odd".
The FCA said it would now work with individual banks on improving conduct.
The report into the culture that drives behaviour in the banking industry was billed as an important piece of work, and was presented as part of its annual business plan.
When it shelved the inquiry last month, the FCA said it remained committed to helping improve culture and behaviour, but wanted to work individually, directly and privately with the banks.
Mr Tyrie told the BBC that it was important that banks and regulators were held to account for their supervision of an industry which took billions of taxpayers money during the financial crisis and had been found guilty of a string of misconduct scandals.
The decision to drop the inquiry was just one of a series of decisions many observers perceived as banker-friendly, and have led to accusations the city regulator is going soft.
In addition to the shelved culture report, the FCA decided to take no further action against HSBC after allegations it helped customers of its Swiss subsidiary avoid tax.
A report into incentive structures for financial product sales staff has also been abandoned.
The FCA has been without a permanent chief executive since Martin Wheatley, a robust critic of the banks, left last summer.
UK Chancellor George Osborne decided not to renew his contract and no replacement has yet been named, leaving Ms McDermott, former head of enforcement at the FCA, holding the fort.
There is no suggestion that the Treasury is issuing instructions to the FCA, and the watchdog strenuously denies they are going soft on the banks. The FCA points to nearly a £1bn worth of fines levied in the last five years.
But critics, such as Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, suggest that it appears that time has been called on the era of banker-bashing.
They say it may be no coincidence that the FCA's decisions come as HSBC considers moving its global headquarters out of London and that the government needs favourable conditions to sell its enormous stake in Royal Bank of Scotland.
The former Labour prime minister used a campaign speech in Fife to say voters were caught between the "extremes" of Scottish and Brexit nationalism.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said Labour were "incapable" of defeating the Conservatives at the election.
Ruth Davidson accused Mr Brown of "taking us back to the 1990s".
In his speech in Kirkcaldy, during which he made no mention of UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Gordon Brown used forecasts from the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) to suggest 320,000 children living in Scotland would be in poverty by 2022.
He said that nationalism offered "no answers" to tackling the problem and that social justice should instead be the "defining issue" of the general election on 8 June.
Mr Brown also warned that Theresa May should not be given a "free hand" or "blank cheque" at the election and insisted it was imperative to "send Labour MPs to parliament to fight a war against poverty".
However, SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, insisted that only the SNP could protect Scotland from the "full force" of policies from a future Conservative government.
She told the BBC: "Gordon Brown's making the same 'single transferable' speech that he's been making for a couple of years.
"The fact of the matter is that Labour has proved that it's not capable of defeating the Tories.
"Partly it is down to the chaos at the heart of the Labour Party that the Tories are so far ahead in England."
She added: "Tory MPs will simply be a rubberstamp for whatever Theresa May wants to do. We need MPs that will stand up for Scotland and make our voice heard."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said Mr Brown represented "old Labour" and also called for the SNP to take the "threat" of a second vote on independence "off the table".
She said: "Gordon Brown is taking us back to the 1990s here today.
"What we want to talk about is our young people and we know that the union that really matters to Scotland is our union within the United Kingdom and that's why we want Nicola Sturgeon to take her threat of a second referendum off the table."
She added: "I think that Gordon Brown today has got a message to old Labour to try and shore up the Labour vote, whereas the Scottish Conservatives are talking about the future and the future of our young people."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie echoed the sentiments of Ms Sturgeon that Labour were incapable of defeating the Conservatives, but insisted his party was the main challenge to the SNP in many marginal seats.
He said: "Labour are incapable of providing a competent opposition and we really need a challenge to the Conservatives because they cannot have it all their own way and that's why the Liberal Democrats are standing to be a fairer and competent voice for our country. That's what we need at this really challenging time."
But a judge has not yet accepted a plea deal for Adel Abdul Bary, 54, that would see him serve 25 years in prison.
He was charged with conspiracy to murder and the use of weapons of mass destruction, among other counts.
More than 200 people were killed when the US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam were attacked in August 1998.
Bary was extradited from the UK in 2012 along with Mustafa Kamal Mustafa, also known as Abu Hamza.
He pleaded guilty on Friday to several of the lesser of the more than 285 charges against him, including threatening to kill by means of explosive and conspiracy to murder US citizens abroad.
The judge has yet to rule on hundreds of other charges against him, including the murders of each person killed in the attacks and conspiracy to attack US national defence utilities.
On Friday, Bary wiped tears from his eyes and shook his head as he made the plea.
He admitted to using fax machines and phone calls to deliver messages of responsibility for the attacks to the news media, messages which included future threats against Americans.
"I arranged to transmit messages from media personnel to my co-conspirators, al-Zawahiri and Bin Laden,'' he said, reading from a statement.
Judge Lewis Kaplan said he wanted to hear further arguments before the more serious charges could be dropped.
He gave lawyers for both sides one week to submit arguments on why he should accept the deal, which would see Bary sentenced to 25 years, potentially with credit for time served in the UK.
"You can well appreciate why I have questions in my mind," Mr Kaplan said.
Bary would be permitted to withdraw the plea and proceed to trial if the judge rejects the deal.
Prosecutors told the hearing the US Attorney's office felt the plea deal was "appropriate with regard to this defendant and the role he played in a much larger conspiracy", saying he had no direct role in the killings.
Defense lawyer Andrew Patel agreed, saying: "I believe this is a just decision."
Bary was originally set to go on trial in November, alongside two others charged in terrorism cases.
He was arrested in the UK in 1999. The US requested his extradition soon after, alongside radical preacher Abu Hamza and three others accused in a lengthy terrorism indictment.
The 19-year-old takes over from Andrew Garfield for the new film, which is due out in July 2017.
Marvel said: "For Spidey himself, we saw many terrific young actors, but Tom's screen tests were special."
Tom is first expected to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War in order to properly introduce him into the Marvel film universe.
The central bank said it would continue trimming its monthly bond-purchases by an additional $10bn (£5.9bn) to $45bn.
The bank has been buying bonds to keep long-term interest rates low and stimulate economic activity.
Fed chair Janet Yellen said the bank will continue to support the US economy for as long as it deems necessary.
The continued cut-down in stimulus measures came on the same day official figures showed the US economy grew at an annual rate of just 0.1% in the first quarter of 2014.
However, the Fed said in its statement that it believed "growth in economic activity has picked up recently, after having slowed sharply during the winter in part because of adverse weather conditions."
It also noted that household spending appears to be "rising more quickly," but that business investment had slowed.
US markets took heart from the Fed's assurances that the US economy was improving, with the Dow Jones closing at a record high. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 also ended the day higher.
Although severe winter weather was largely to blame for the sluggish first quarter growth figure, many economists nonetheless expect the US economy will grow at a sub-3% pace in 2014, below the historical post-war average.
Consequently, many believe that the Fed will continue to keep interest rates low, even once it has completely stopped its bond-buying programme, known as quantitative easing.
The Fed has also said as much, noting in its statement that it planned to keep interest rates "below levels the committee views as normal in the longer run" even after the US economy has improved enough to hit target levels of unemployment and inflation.
The central bank has kept its key benchmark interest rate at 0% since 2008, when the financial crisis caused the central bank to engage in a series of extraordinary measures intended to boost the US economy.
The commitment to keep rates low shows that "while the policy normalisation is underway, the Fed is in no rush to complete the process," said Ward McCarthy, chief US economist at Jefferies bank.
And that slow pace is deliberate: Ms Yellen has indicated that while the Fed expect US growth to pick up steam, it remains prepared to act should conditions change - as they often have since 2008.
"The path of the economy is uncertain, and effective policy must respond to significant unexpected twists and turns the economy may take," she said recently in a policy address at the Economic Club of New York.
Ms Yellen added that the recovery has been "disappointingly slow" and that the Fed's projections for a pickup in growth have been "dashed" several times.
Negotiations are under way to try to find a way to stop the fighting in Yemen. But the Houthis have fought hard to reach their dominant position in Yemen, and will not give up easily.
On 14 April, the UN Security Council passed a resolution that made clear demands on the Houthis.
Among other things it calls on them to give up their weapons and the territory they have seized, which includes Yemen's capital, Sanaa.
The Saudis say that they are trying to get the Houthis to comply with as much of the resolution as possible.
But if and when an agreement is brokered, the chances are that it will be hard to make it stick.
The Houthis will not return to their home turf in northern Yemen without extracting a price in terms of power and influence.
Even if the Saudis were prepared to agree to that, enforcing a deal in a country as chaotic and ungovernable as Yemen will be a struggle.
When a month ago the Saudis formed a coalition of other Gulf Arab states, as well as Jordan, Morocco and Sudan, they declared that they wanted to restore to power the internationally-recognised Yemeni president, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.
He fled Sanaa after the Houthis consolidated their control of the city in January and placed him under house arrest.
The president then set up an alternative seat of government in the southern port of Aden.
But he had to leave there in a hurry too, as the Houthis advanced on Aden and the Saudis and their coalition allies started their bombing campaign. Now, Mr Hadi is still in Saudi Arabia.
The Saudis say that they stopped their bombing campaign because they had achieved their military objectives, inflicting damage on the Houthis and their allies in the Yemeni army.
Saudi Arabia's claims that it won the air war will not be credible if it cannot achieve its main political objective of restoring Mr Hadi to power.
And then there is the question of the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The Houthi alliance with Mr Saleh, and with the army units loyal to him, was the key to their advance through Yemen.
Mr Saleh led North Yemen from 1978 and became president of all of Yemen after the country was unified in 1990. He kept his job until he was ousted in 2012, but clearly still has a lust for power for himself and his family.
Saudi sources say that Mr Saleh and his close family will have to leave Yemen as part of an agreement to end the bombing.
But Mr Saleh is at the centre of a network of tribal loyalty and patronage, and has been promoting his son, Ahmed. He will not give up easily either.
Yemen is a deeply fractured country. Yemenis often have more loyalty to their tribe than to the idea of a nation state.
The most aggressive al-Qaeda franchise in the Middle East is active in its so-called "ungoverned spaces".
Even before the current crisis many Yemenis did not have enough to eat. The capital is running out of water. Now Yemen is gripped by a major humanitarian emergency.
Even though air raids have resumed, the end of the main bombing campaign might allow deliveries of humanitarian aid.
Longer term, the unity of the country is in doubt.
It was divided between North and South until 1990. There is a chance that by design or just through the pressure of events, Yemen could break up again.
Canon said the sensor is sensitive enough to read lettering on the side of an aircraft 18km (11.1 miles) away.
However, it added, the gadget was unlikely to find its way into domestic cameras or smartphones.
Instead, the ultra-high-resolution sensor could find a role in surveillance systems or other specialised applications.
Canon said it had overcome several technical hurdles to get the sensor functioning.
In particular, it said it had got round the signal and timing problems introduced when reading data from the 250 million pixels (19,580 x 12,600) on board.
Data was read from the chip at a speed of 1.25 billion pixels per second, which, said Canon, demanded much improved signal processing systems to ensure picture taking was well coordinated.
The sensor measures 29.2mm (1.15in) by 20.2mm (0.79in) - which is smaller than the sensors found on many 35mm digital cameras.
The individual pixels on the sensor are about 1.5 microns across - approximately the same size as those found on consumer cameras.
Dr Konstantin Stefanov, a senior research fellow at the Open University's Centre for Electronic Imaging, said it was an "impressive" technical feat to get the sensor working but questioned how useful it would prove to be.
"Sensors can be made bigger, but the question is why you would want them to be bigger, because as they get bigger you have more and more problems," he said.
"Their large size means you can only read them once every few seconds, so they are only good for specialised applications such as astronomy or surveillance."
Canon said the sensor could shoot video but only at five frames per second - far slower than the rate needed for a film.
However, it added, the video clips it captured were 125 times more dense than those in standard HD video and about 30 times the resolution of 4K video.
Dr Stefanov said it was possible to build bigger sensors, and some of these had found roles in very specialised applications such as hospital X-ray machines, where the sensor replaced the photographic plate that captured the image.
However, he said, improvements in other elements of an imaging system made large sensors unnecessary.
"You do not need such big sensors, because you could use smaller ones and just have better optics," he said.
"Simply increasing the number of pixels is not the only way forward."
In a speech, the ex-prime minister will defend the large increase in tax credits he presided over as chancellor.
To cut them now by £4.4bn would hurt the working poor and "undermine everything Britain stands for".
George Osborne is to announce revised proposals later this month.
The chancellor argues the bill for tax credits, an income supplement paid to millions of families - many of which are in work but on low incomes - ballooned by billions under the last Labour government and the government says it needs to be brought under control as part of £12bn overall cuts to welfare.
It is one of a series of measures the government has taken since Labour left office to, as David Cameron puts it, "sort out the mess" of the huge deficit left by Mr Brown's government.
But Mr Osborne is facing growing calls to change tack following a defeat in the House of Lords and amid concerns that plans to lower the threshold at which people can start to claim working tax credits from £6,420 to £3,850 a year in April will leave working families on average £1,300 worse off.
In a report published on Tuesday, the cross-party work and pensions committee urged Mr Osborne to postpone reforms for a year to enable debate about the future of working-age benefits.
And in his first major intervention in domestic politics since the general election, Mr Brown is to take issue with the government and defend the legacy of his decade as chancellor, which saw a huge expansion of tax credits between 1997 and 2007.
Writing in the Daily Mirror ahead of the speech to the Child Poverty Action Group, Mr Brown said only a full U-turn from the government would be enough, urging Mr Osborne "not to take it out on the family, and the children".
Tax credits are a series of benefits introduced by the last Labour government to help low-paid families. There are two types: Working Tax Credit (WTC) for those in work, and Child Tax Credit (CTC) for those with children.
Under the government's existing proposals, the income threshold for Working Tax Credits - £6,420 - would be cut to £3,850 a year from April.
In other words, as soon as someone earned £3,850, they would see their payments reduced. The income threshold for those only claiming CTCs would be cut from £16,105 to £12,125.
The rate at which those payments are cut would also get faster. Currently, for every £1 claimants earn above the threshold, they lose 41p. This is known as the taper rate. But from April, the taper rate would accelerate to 48p.
There would be similar reductions for those who claim work allowances under the new Universal Credit.
Tax credits, pensions and the generation game
Who will be the winners and losers?
A high-stakes battle
The cuts, he said, would undermine "everything Britain stands for: hard work, independence of spirit, savings and compassion for children" and worsen "staggering" projections for poverty.
Rejecting ministers' arguments that the losses would be offset by measures such as a new £9-an-hour national living wage, he said it would need to be £12 an hour to compensate two-child families and £14 for those with three.
"No phasing in, no temporary halt or slower pacing of the implementation of the Osborne tax credit proposals will make a fundamental attack on the working poor and on children much fairer," he wrote.
"Why? Because the reforms arise from wrong assumptions - that we have a Britain divided between strivers and skivers."
Mr Brown said none of the alternatives to tax credits mooted by the Conservatives and other parties, such as raising personal income tax allowances or introducing a so-called citizens income, would cost less or be as effective in helping poor children in working families.
The government, he claimed, should be focusing on the "lack of good paying jobs in advanced economies such as ours" rather than penalising what he described as "the new poor", a generation of twenty-somethings struggling to get by.
"Britain is about to have one of the biggest poverty problems in the western world and it is government-induced poverty stemming from the Conservatives," he wrote.
"And so if the current or pending proposals penalise work and penalise families and children - and are against everything Britain stands for - it's not enough to massage them with a few amendments.
"They are a mistake, root and branch, and in the interests of Britain's hard working families and their children the Autumn Statement on November 25 has to see them abandoned once and for all."
Former Conservative Sir John Major has also joined the debate on how to tackle entrenched poverty and disparities in life chances by warning that levels of income inequality in Britain are "shocking".
In a speech on Tuesday, Sir John warned that some UK communities were "among the poorest in all Northern Europe".
While poverty would not be ended "by benefits alone", ministers "must understand how hard it is to escape from such circumstances" and have an "equal concentration on those who are failed by the system" as those who cheat it.
La Cotte de St Brelade is the location of an archaeological project called Ice Age Island, described as one of Europe's most significant settlements.
The grant of £180,000 will enable the team from the Societe Jersiaise to carry on its work.
Neil Molyneux from the heritage society said the project would attract tourists to the island.
He said: "The coin hoard that was discovered a couple of years ago has brought many people to the island.
"Any discoveries from La Cotte will do the same, but any presentation of what is there will do that alone."
The site of La Cotte de St Brelade contains more Neanderthal artefacts than the rest of the British Isles and ranks as one of the world's richest Stone Age localities.
The team behind Ice Age Island will have to demonstrate how it contributes to the island's tourism in return for the Tourism Development Fund money.
The Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said it was an officer's duty to be fit.
Mandatory annual fitness tests came into force in England and Wales in 2014 following Tom Winsor's policing review.
The Police Federation said a number of officers had failed the tests but no-one had been dismissed yet.
Sir Bernard, who is 57, said he had recently passed the annual 15m (49ft) shuttle run "bleep" test with "no preparation".
If most people pass a test, does that make it easy? It's a question the police service will confront in September, when the first full results of the new annual fitness test are published.
The interim findings indicate a success rate across forces in England and Wales of about 97%. Even if an officer fails, they can take the test again -- the College of Policing says they should be allowed at least two retakes before disciplinary measures are considered.
Sir Tom Winsor, the Chief Inspector of Constabulary, believes the test should become more stringent - and his opinions count.
Sir Tom's report in 2012, which recommended the introduction of an annual test, suggested that in 2018 the test should be changed so that it's similar to that undertaken by police recruits in Northern Ireland.
They have to do a series of push-and-pull exercises to test strength as well as completing a three-lap circuit involving crawling, jumping and climbing.
"It's taken too long to get the annual test, but it will start to have an increasing impact," Sir Bernard told the Radio Times in a recent interview.
"For me, the standard is too low: I think it should be higher. It's relatively easy to pass."
Police who failed the test would be given time to lose weight and get fitter, but "If they don't, then we haven't got a job for them," he said.
"I think you've got a duty to your colleagues. If they shout for help, they want fit people to come. They don't want somebody waddling down the road who's never going to arrive, and when they get there they're out of breath."
The commissioner was speaking about expectations for his own force, but as the most senior police officer in England and Wales other forces would take notice, the Police Federation said.
The test became mandatory in September and applies to officers up to the rank of chief inspector, it said.
•A multi-stage fitness test in which you must do shuttle runs in time with the bleeps until the bleeps get too quick for you
•The shuttle runs are done in time to bleep sounds on a pre-recorded audio device
•The time between the recorded bleeps decreases every minute as the level goes up
•The test usually consists of several levels: the higher the level, the quicker the speed
Interim results given to the College of Policing in 2014 showed the test had been failed 807 times.
John Tully, chairman of the Met Police Federation, said while he accepted there was a clearly defined standard of fitness officers had to maintain, because of budget cuts, frontline officers had no time to maintain their fitness during work time.
He said the force also had a duty of care to remember because some officers were unable to pass the fitness test as a result of illness or an injury they had received on duty.
"There is no differentiation between someone injured playing football in their own time, or injured on duty," Mr Tully said.
"Clearly the commissioner is laying a line down from what he has said, but it would be a sad day seeing people leave the organisation if that happens."
An investigation by the Daily Mail said bosses at Capita, which collects the fee, promised bonuses of up to £15,000 a year to catch 28 evaders a week.
Capita said those statements "do not reflect the high standards we expect".
BBC Director General Tony Hall said Capita had "fallen short" of standards it expected on behalf of the UK public.
The government said it would talk to the BBC about the company's conduct.
The Daily Mail sent a reporter to interview for a job at Capita, and allegedly found staff being pushed to gather evidence to take as many people to court as possible.
One interviewer was recorded saying: "We will drive you as hard as we can to get as much as we can out of you because we're greedy."
According to the paper, the company's 330 field officers are told they must hit a target number of evaders, known as the "magic 28", and for each person they catch over that, they can be paid an extra £20 to £25.
The BBC's director general, Tony Hall, said he wanted "urgent confirmation" that the interview questions were not "standard practice", vulnerable people were not being targeted, and that Capita was taking "appropriate action" over the incident.
In a letter to Capita's CEO, Andy Parker, he said: "Public trust is the cornerstone of the licence fee system.
"It is clear that, in this instance, Capita has fallen short of the standards the BBC has a right to expect on behalf of the British public."
The BBC added that it expected licence fee officers to "behave in a courteous, professional manner and abide by a published code of conduct".
Capita said its incentive scheme only applied to sales of licence fees and it only prosecuted as a last resort.
A spokesman added: "Capita is required by the BBC to ensure households are not breaking the law. Officers are expected to act in a professional manner.
"We strongly refute any allegation that officers are instructed to act outside of these requirements. Where we find employees have not acted as they should we act appropriately."
Downing Street said ministers would be raising the conduct of the enforcement officers with the BBC.
"Clearly, these are concerning reports," a No 10 spokesman said.
"The licence fee does need to be collected in a fair and reasonable manner. I see the BBC has quite rightly ordered an urgent investigation into these reports."
Damian Collins, Conservative MP and chairman of the Commons culture committee, told the Daily Mail: "It's very concerning. This is being done in the BBC's name.
"The BBC needs to make sure changes are made to the way this contract is being run or that it's taken away from Capita and given to someone else."
Labour MP Chris Matheson, who also sits on the committee, called for Capita bosses to be summoned to Parliament.
In 2015, 166,000 people were fined for licence fee evasion. The maximum penalty for watching BBC channels or iPlayer without a licence is £1,000.
In January, new sentencing guidelines were introduced meaning magistrates can impose a non-financial penalty, known as a conditional discharge, so the person will not be sentenced unless they commit another offence.
This will only be used in cases where people have made significant efforts to pay the fee.
A video posted on social media appeared to show the singer re-enact a beheading similar to those used by so-called Islamic State.
But the 72-year-old said his actions were "misinterpreted".
Sir Rod said he and his friends were "playing out Game Of Thrones" while "larking about" before a show.
The clip has since been deleted from his wife Penny Lancaster's Instagram account.
It showed the couple with friends while on his world tour, which took him to Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
In a statement, the star said: "From re-enacting the Beatles' Abbey Road crossing to spontaneously playing out Game Of Thrones, we were simply larking about pre-show.
"Understandably, this has been misinterpreted and I send my deepest apologies to those who have been offended."
Sir Rod is seen in the video leading a line of friends, with Lancaster at the back, along the sand dunes.
Lancaster, 45, rolls down the dunes, and then stretches out on the sand.
The singer stands behind her and appears to put his hand across the neck of a friend, who is sitting in front of him.
Former hostage John McCarthy told BBC Radio Scotland's John Beattie programme that the singer had turned "a grotesque thing into a kind of pantomime".
The journalist, who was kidnapped in Lebanon in 1986, said it was unclear whether Sir Rod was "larking about" or thinking seriously about the fate of some hostages.
Relatives of other kidnap victims would be "absolutely sickened" if the star was making light of their plight, he added.
"Your blood runs cold just imagining what it must be like to be in that situation in the last moments of your life or, indeed, as relatives to see that," he said.

The 24-year-old had been released by Kilmarnock despite having signed a three-year contract in 2015.
"It gets me out there where people can see that I am fit enough to play, but my main objective is to do well and stay here," he told the Pars' website.
"If a contract is here to sign, I will be more than happy to sign it."
Robinson came through the youth ranks to become a first-team regular at Hearts but was released after their promotion to the Scottish Premiership last summer.
He was recruited by former Hearts manager Gary Locke at their top-flight rivals last summer but made only six starts and seven substitute appearances for Kilmarnock and played his last game as a late substitute against Motherwell in February.
"I left Kilmarnock through mutual consent - both parties were happy," said the former Scotland youth international.
"The manager that signed me unfortunately got the sack, which is really unfortunate for him, and it turned out that I wasn't wanted there either."

They were launching a Britain Stronger In Europe battle bus and pledge card.
But Vote Leave said the PM's criticisms of Mr Khan during the mayoral contest less than a month ago showed he could not be trusted.
UKIP MP Douglas Carswell said the PM had accused Mr Khan of being a "terrorist sympathiser".
Mr Cameron repeatedly attacked Mr Khan for having a history of sharing platforms with extremists - a claim firmly rejected by Mr Khan - as part of the Conservatives' failed campaign to get Zac Goldsmith elected to City Hall.
At Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons some Labour MPs denounced Mr Cameron as a racist when he questioned Mr Khan's judgment.
At the Remain campaign event in London, Mr Cameron appeared to bury the hatchet.
He shook hands with Mr Khan and congratulated him on his victory in the mayoral contest, telling the crowd: "I'm proud to be here with the mayor of London - with the Labour mayor of London - on this vital, vital issue."
He hailed the fact that "someone who is a proud Muslim, a proud Brit and a proud Londoner can become mayor of the greatest city on Earth. That says something about our country".
The prime minister said he expected many disagreements with the London Mayor but they were both part of "an incredibly broad campaign" in favour of EU membership.
Mr Cameron described himself as a "Eurosceptic" but said the ability to criticise the EU is "a cause of strength in our campaign... we're levelling with people, something the other side refuses to do".
Mr Khan defended his decision to share a platform with the Conservative prime minister - something Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has refused to do, despite being on the same side as him in the referendum debate.
The London mayor said: "There are many things on which the prime minister and I will disagree. But what's really important is when it's in Londoners' interests for the mayor and the government to work closely together, we will work closely together."
He claimed "more than half a million jobs" in London depended on the UK's membership of the EU, adding: "A vote for Remain means jobs and opportunities."
Staying in the EU meant more measures to fight climate change, "workers' rights protected and more rights for women," he added, and he urged young people to "get involved" in the referendum and register to vote.
Vote Leave spokesman and UKIP MP Douglas Carswell said voters "should not trust David Cameron".
"Just a month ago he attacked Sadiq Khan as a terrorist sympathiser, yet today he hailed him as a great politician as he stood next to him on a shared platform.
"Today he trumpeted the benefits of the European Arrest Warrant but a few years ago he warned that it was dangerous and that it stripped away centuries old rights from the British people.
"David Cameron's flip-flops show that he is not a man of principle - he is just desperate to cling on to power".
Mr Cameron and Mr Khan unveiled a "five point guarantee card" listing what they say voters will get if they vote to Remain on 23 June.
The card promises "full access" to the EU single market, protection of workers' rights, "a safer Britain" with co-operation with other EU states, the UK keeping its "special status" within the EU, outside the euro and the Schengen passport-free area and with an opt-out from the EU's aim of "ever-closer union" and "stability".
Vote Leave hit back with a list of five things they say will happen if Britain votes to remain in the EU.
These include much disputed assertion that the UK will continue to "send £350m a week to Brussels," a claim that the free movement of people in the EU will continue "permanently" and that Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey join, a warning about business red tape, and a claim that "we will continue to be unable to remove criminals and terrorists whose presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good".

Elliot, 29, suffered a serious knee injury during the Republic's 2-2 friendly draw with Slovakia on Tuesday.
"There was a wave of emotion knowing I'd miss the rest of the season with Newcastle and the Euros with Ireland," Elliot told his club's website.
The relegation-threatened Magpies were already missing keeper Tim Krul.
Krul, 27, was ruled out for the rest of the season after injuring a knee in October.
Elliot has since made 21 Premier League appearances.
"Regrettably, the severity of this injury will rule Rob out for a number of months," said a Newcastle statement, which explained Elliot had damaged an anterior cruciate ligament.

Elliot said: "When I found out it was my cruciate ligament, that's when the tears came.
"It's nice to know that there are so many good people wishing me well at such a dark time."
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez must now choose between Karl Darlow and 19-year-old Freddie Woodman for Saturday's match at fellow strugglers Norwich City.

Newcastle are 19th in the table, three points from safety with eight games remaining.
West Ham's Darren Randolph, 28, came off the bench to replace Elliot on Tuesday.
Republic manager Martin O'Neill could recall Shay Given, who has recently returned to training after a knee injury.

The Hen Harrier Action Plan, supported by a number of groups, was set up in January to help the "persecuted" birds.
However, the RSPB said "illegal killing" and "depressing" incidents, including one involving an armed man in the Peak District, have continued.
The government said the plan was still at an early stage and remains the best way to safeguard the birds in England.
The plan followed the disappearance of five male hen harriers in 2015, leading to the collapse of nests.
The birds' predation of grouse is a source of conflict on moors used for shooting, but there was hope the decline could be halted through a joint approach.
However, in April, a video emerged apparently showing an armed man using a decoy bird to attract a hen harrier in the Derbyshire Peak District.
This later led to the National Trust terminating a grouse shooting lease for the first time on its land.
In May, a man was caught on camera setting illegal pole traps on the Mossdale estate, in North Yorkshire, and later lost his job.
Martin Harper, the RSPB's conservation director, said these incidents were "depressingly predictable" and the charity has withdrawn its support as a result.
He said there have only been three nest attempts this year, none on moorland, and reform could only come from the "licensing" of driven grouse shooting.
Amanda Anderson, director of the Moorland Association, said she was "disappointed" by the decision and stressed there were elements of the plan yet to be investigated before the project could be judged a success or not.
She said: "We wish to reiterate our total abhorrence of any act of wildlife crime and support of prosecutions.
"The onus is on every estate to ensure every employee is working within the existing law. Nothing less will do."
A Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) spokesman said it was committed to protecting hen harriers and would continue to work with its remaining partners.
*The RSPB said none of these have been on grouse moors.
The 26-year-old played in the Davis Cup for Slovenia three times before gaining UK citizenship in March.
A Davis Cup rule change now prevents players representing a second country.
Bedene is appealing on the grounds his passport application was lodged before the rule changed at the start of 2015.
When the International Tennis Federation's (ITF) board of directors hears the appeal in Prague on Tuesday, it will learn how Bedene's coaching team has been asking other tour players for their opinion.
"So many players said I should play, so that's one of the big things," Bedene told BBC Sport.
"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time now. I know it's a tough case to win but I'm still confident."
Bedene, who has lived in the UK since 2008, will be accompanied to the appeal by the Lawn Tennis Association's legal director, Stephen Farrow, and his agent Allon Khakshouri.

They have been granted a 30-minute slot to present their case and, assuming a decision is reached on Tuesday, the verdict will be released later the same day.
If Bedene is successful he could yet be selected for the Davis Cup final against Belgium, which takes place in Ghent from 27-29 November.
"I'm dreaming that the appeal goes through first and then I'll be dreaming of playing, but I don't want to push myself into the team because the team spirit has been as great as ever," he said.
"Before I get that call I would love to speak to the other guys and see what they think of me joining the team. So we'll see - step by step."
Andy Murray has already made it clear he would be happy to play alongside Bedene if British captain Leon Smith opted to select him.
"It's not his fault that it's taken so long for this process to go through, that's my feeling," Murray explained at the Paris Masters earlier this month.
"I think he handed in all the forms way before the end of last year, so it isn't his fault that the rules changed and the process has taken almost a year now - so that's not fair on him."
The change in regulations came into force less than four months after they were agreed, and those close to Bedene maintain they have always been promised a sympathetic hearing because of the special circumstances of his case.
The rule change was, however, voted through with the overwhelming support of member nations, and to grant Bedene a special exemption could fatally undermine a principle which retains solid support within the organisation.
A freshly elected ITF board might give the British number two cause for optimism. When David Haggerty took over as ITF president in September, nine new members were welcomed on to the 13 strong board.
This is the final appeal Bedene can make to the ITF, although his management company has spoken in the past about the possibility of taking the case on to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Sir Peter, speaking on his final day in the top job, said local people needed to work with the police to banish gun and gang violence.
There have been 21 shootings in the Salford area over 18 months.
Police revealed hundreds of "Osman" threat-to-life warnings had been issued to people in the city.
In the latest high-profile attack, Christian Hickey, seven, and his mother Jayne were shot in the legs after answering the door in Eccles on 12 October.
Detectives believe the escalating violence has been caused by a personal "falling out" between members of a gang called the A Team.
Sir Peter said: "We will arrest, undoubtedly, people as a result of this particular series of shootings, I'm confident of that.
"The trouble is will it address the underlying issue of organised crime in Salford?
"There are too many families who generation after generation have been engaged in this.
"How do we make sure we mobilise the vast majority of good people to say they've had enough and want it to change, in the way people in Moss Side said they wanted it to change?"
He said too many people were "turning a blind eye" to day-to-day crime such as the drugs trade.
"Certain families have been ruling the roost for many many years. That's the sort of thing that needs to be tackled and it's going to take probably 10 years to do that," he said.
Sir Peter, a police officer since 1981, has been Greater Manchester's chief constable since 2008.
He will now become chief executive of the African street children's charity Retrak.
The striker pounced on keeper Ryan Esson's error to net the opener and made it 2-0 with a brilliant header.
Boyce scored twice from the spot after the break, with ICT's Liam Polworth sent off for giving away the second.
The result leaves bottom-of-the-Premiership Inverness five points behind Dundee with four games to play.
County, meanwhile, move up to seventh spot on 36 points, one above Kilmarnock who visit Hamilton on Saturday.
The Northern Irishman takes the plaudits once again with his quadruple dismantling Inverness and propelling County away from relegation concerns.
His opener was opportunistic as he sensed the possibility of an error which duly arrived.
His header for the second was superb. It was a great run before a stretch of the neck allowed him to meet Jim O'Brien's delivery and nod over Esson.
Boyce then brilliantly converted two penalties as he almost extinguished Inverness' survival hopes single-handedly.
David Raven clumsily bundled into Tim Chow for the first spot kick and Polworth pulled Ryan Dow back and was sent off.
It was a memorable night for Boyce and Ross County. One to forget in a season to forget for Inverness.
Not quite, but close. Richie Foran's side are snookered and cannot buy a break, although they undoubtedly contributed to their own downfall.
Things looked bright early on as the visitors controlled the opening quarter. Crucially, however, they could not capitalise before Esson, who was playing because of an injury to Owain Fon Williams, made a horrendous error that undermined his side's game-plan.
A Jamie McCart back-pass was not the easiest for the keeper to deal with but he still had to do better than fluff his attempted clearance, leaving Boyce with the simple task of finishing.
It became watch-through-the-fingers stuff for Inverness fans with their main weakness, defending, exposed once again.
No-one challenged Boyce for his second with the third and fourth goals conceded so cheaply.
Inverness may point to a penalty claim when two goals down as Tim Chow appeared to push Polworth to the ground but other than that they offered very little.
The main surprise was County failed to add to their tally when Inverness were down and out.
The latter stages of the game were like a training match for County, who can relax to an extent in the knowledge they are mostly likely safe, and can now focus on trying to secure seventh spot.
Everything went wrong for Inverness. They have only won four games this term and this result will give their confidence another kicking.
It is not over yet but Foran requires a remarkable turnaround if Inverness are to avoid relegation.

Residents were baffled by coaches of sightseers arriving in Kidlington, Oxfordshire and posing for photos in front gardens and against parked cars.
But a guide has now confirmed the tourists are attracted by the quiet houses and gardens.
The guide was responding to a BBC question sheet that was handed to tourists.
The tourists were first identified in Benmead Road and the Moors in July, the Spotted: Kidlington Facebook page reported.
Anne Clifton, who lives in the Moors, handed the BBC's question sheet to a member of the tour party when they reappeared in the road on 23 October.
She said: "I asked a woman standing at the door of the coach if she would be good enough to complete the form.
"She was not actually one of the tourists, but was leading the party."
A tour guide provided the following answers to the BBC question sheet:
Q: We are happy to have you here but why have you come?
A: 因为我们中国没有，这里有我们找国家的感觉
Translation: "Because we don't have [these] in China. Here, we are looking for the true sense of this country. "
Q: Do you like it?
A: 返璞归真
Translation: "[Yes]. Because the environment makes you feel you are closer to the simplicity of your original self."
Q: What do you like here?
A: 房子，花园
Translation: "The houses [and] gardens."
The tourists were a short walk from thatched cottages and a church but preferred to take photos outside modern houses.
Previous theories for the cause of the influx included mistaken identity, a covert social experiment or possibly Oxfordshire's connection to Inspector Morse.
Baz Daniels, who has lived in Kidlington for more than 20 years, said he had been in touch with a friend in China to try to get to the bottom of the tourist influx.
"Kidlington is apparently being marketed by Chinese tourist agencies as a beautiful English village on the way to Bicester Village shopping centre," he said.
"Many of the visitors live in cities and love to see things like the hanging baskets and little flowers in people's gardens."
But the day after the Scottish fighter died, having sustained severe bleeding and swelling to his brain in a British title eliminator on Thursday, boxing gyms would have been full across the country. "Tragic news about Mike Towell," they would have said, before savagely assaulting a heavy bag.
On Saturday, professional boxing shows took place in Buxton, Manchester, Stoke, London and the former Yorkshire pit village of Denaby Main. In Glasgow, where Towell's final prize fight took place, 22 men climbed between the ropes at the Bellahouston Leisure Centre. Some won, some lost, some had their senses scrambled. But none was there against his will.
Abolitionists argue that such people should be saved from themselves. And if you were to build a utopia, boxing would surely not be a part of it. But anyone who reads the newspapers or watches the news will know that utopia is not imminent. And, anyway, how utopian is restricting a person's choice?
I didn't know Towell but I have met many men like him. The typical boxer is diffident, far removed from the lazy stereotype of the snarling bully. But the typical boxer - or at least the typical boxer who has tasted success in the ring - will also speak of an addictive, sometimes pathological, need to fight.
This need isn't necessarily financial. Carl Froch, one of the most determined boxers Britain has ever produced, studied sports science at Loughborough University. Welshman Nathan Cleverly, who became a two-time world champion on Saturday, has a degree in maths.
They were never the desperate street urchins or would-be criminals of so much boxing fiction. Had they so desired, Froch could have been a physio and Cleverly a high-school teacher.
However, it is true that boxing has diverted many aimless souls down a path towards self-improvement and dignity. The best grassroots boxing trainers don't just know their way around a ring, they are social workers, fathers and mothers.
Perhaps if there were more wholesome alternatives for kids in our more deprived areas - such as swimming pools, tennis courts and velodromes - boxing's lure would be weaker. But even if there were, there would still be plenty of kids drawn to the baser thrill of testing their courage in combat.
But what of those who revel in the sight of two men or women punching each other in the head? And what does it say about us that when boxing is at its most compelling, it is also at its most dangerous, when we know exactly how dangerous it can be?
Michael Watson, who was punched into a coma by Chris Eubank Sr in 1991 and suffered life-changing injuries as a result, summed it up like this: "It's what people love to see. It's human nature. No different to seeing dogs fight."
An abolitionist might suggest that those watching the Towell fight would, in a civilised world, have been accessories to manslaughter. And the thought that a man was battered half to death while the audience laughed and drank Champagne is, at the least, discomfiting.
Furthermore, the oft-repeated argument that more people die or suffer serious injuries while racing cars or motorbikes or riding horses is naive. In all of these sports death or serious injury is, for the most part, entirely accidental. The argument that death or serious injury is entirely accidental in boxing, whose participants set out to rattle each other's brains, is far more difficult to sustain.
Which is not to apportion any blame to Towell's last opponent, Welshman Dale Evans. Towell, like Evans, knew the risks when he stepped into that ring. And Towell, like Evans, needed to be there. But when men like Towell die because of boxing, the sport becomes difficult to defend. Perhaps it means boxing people are uncivilised, which is something we just have to live with.
No amount of medical provision can stop the sport of boxing from being a threat to life. But in a tolerant society, which is what we profess to have built in this country, any thought of abolition should be resisted.
Watson still loved boxing enough to be ringside when Nigel Benn fought Gerald McClellan in 1995. That night, McClellan suffered permanent brain damage and was also left blind, confined to a wheelchair and requiring round-the-clock care. And Watson still loved boxing afterwards, because he knew better than almost anyone that boxing gives back more to society than it takes.
Talk to former boxers and they will complain of headaches, numb jaws, arthritic fingers and unreliable memories. And in the next sentence they will tell you that they might have not have discovered that path towards self-improvement and dignity had they not found boxing at the crossroads.
Ask a fighter the question: "Where would you be if you hadn't found boxing?" And don't be surprised if the answer is: "Dead or in prison."
Quite often, boxing fiction is rooted in cold, hard facts.
For many young people, boxing allows them to be somebody in society, rather than lead an inconsequential life of desperation. And for many young people, the idea of slowly dying behind a desk is as nonsensical as risking life in the ring.
In 1980, Johnny Owen died from his injuries after challenging for the world bantamweight title. Reflecting on his compatriot's passing, Welsh boxing great Eddie Thomas said: "It broke my heart to see Johnny lying in his coffin and made me feel that boxing isn't worth the candle. But there is something mysterious that keeps drawing you back."
In truth, there is nothing mysterious about it. Some people like to box and other people like to watch them box. If heaven exists and it is just how Mike Towell imagined it, he is probably boxing right now.
The new movie is to be directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, the men behind the hugely successful Lego movie.
The charismatic criminal turned Rebellion hero returns in Star Wars' next instalment: The Force Awakens this Christmas.
Actor Harrison Ford last played Solo in 1983's Return of the Jedi.
No details or casting have been yet been announced but the script will be written by father and son team Lawrence and Jon Kasdan.
The senior Kasdan co-wrote The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, the latter with director JJ Abrams.
There was a huge excitement in the fan community earlier this year when an extended trailer for the new film featured a brief appearance of Solo and his Millennium Falcon co-pilot Chewbacca, appearing to be on the deck of his famous spaceship, uttering the words, "Chewie, we're home..."
The untitled Han Solo project is scheduled to be released on 25 May 2018.
It follows the first stand-alone Star Wars anthology film Rogue One, which is due next year.
Aaron Paul
The Breaking Bad star has sent the rumour mill into overdrive after the Star Wars official Twitter account started following him.
The 35-year-old Instagrammed a screenshot of the moment, captioning that his "dreams are coming true." Unsurprisingly he is the favourite for the role according to bookmakers.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
The 25-year-old Brit and husband of Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson most recently starred in the Marvel blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Josh Hutcherson
No stranger to movie franchises, the Hunger Games actor is Buzzfeed's number one choice.
Chris Pratt
The Jurassic World actor's star has rocketed after Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World.
Rumoured to be the next star of Indiana Jones, could the Harrison Ford likeness make him a popular candidate?
Armie Hammer
Best known for his portrayal as the Winklevoss twins in 2010's The Social Network and the title for in 2013's The Lone Ranger, this role could propel Hammer into a superstar stratosphere.
Chris Hemsworth
The Aussie actor is known for his action roles, currently starring as Marvel's Thor and appearing in the Avengers movie franchise. He also appeared briefly in JJ Abrams' Star Trek reboot, as Captain Kirk's father.
Jack O'Connell
Angelina Jolie's a fan of this Brit, having cast him in her most recent directorial project, Unbroken. Last year's winner of the Bafta Rising Star Award, landing the part of Han would be the proof of the pudding.
Zac Efron
Known for his vocal roles in High School Musical and Hairspray, the role of Han would mark a change of direction for the 27-year-old.
Nicholas Hoult
Big action movies have become second nature to this 25-year-old having starred in the X-Men franchise as Hank McCoy as well as in Mad Max. He's an outside shot at the role though according to bookmakers.
AFC, formed when the old Wimbledon were given permission to relocate to Milton Keynes in 2002, beat the Dons 3-2 in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
"I know what the fans have been through and the pain they have had. It's great," Ardley told BBC London 94.9.
"They will be dancing in the streets. The main thing is we have made a lot of people happy and that makes me happy."
The two clubs had met twice before in the FA Cup second round in 2012 and the first round of the League Cup earlier this season, with MK Dons winning on both occasions.
"In the first game they perhaps beat us fortuitously. In the League Cup they beat us fair and square, and this time round we beat them fair and square. It is third time lucky." said Ardley, who made over 300 appearances during an 11-year spell for Wimbledon FC.
AFC Wimbledon trailed 2-1 at half-time but Ardley made a triple substitution with 25 minutes remaining, bringing on winger Sean Rigg and strikers Adebayo Akinfenwa and Matt Tubbs.
Akinfenwa set up Rigg for the equaliser three minutes after coming on and then scored the winner with 10 minutes left.
"We had a plan to put a team out full of energy and would be disciplined as we know we wouldn't be having the lion's share of possession.
"We gifted them two sloppy goals, but we showed character to keep going," Ardley said.
"It was the plan to try and get to 60-65 minutes and then unleash the three big gun subs we had waiting in the wings.
"You go for it and if you lose by more, at least you have had a crack at it. Everyone played their part and it is great when the substitutions do work."
Akinfenwa was aware of the importance of his winning goal to the club's supporters.
"As a professional you always want to give your best and I'm glad I made an impression," the 32-year-old told BBC London 94.9.
"This is real talk - and I think all the players will say it - but it was definitely for the fans.
"I was getting a lot of tweets beforehand saying to give our all and I think we did that as a team."
England's all-time leading scorer recently returned to fitness after sustaining a stress fracture in March.
The only non-English players selected in the squad of 18 are Scots Ifeoma Dieke and Kim Little.
"Narrowing my squad down to 18 was very, very tough because of the calibre of player we've got coming through now," said Team GB coach Hope Powell.

"This is a great chance for these players to be involved in something huge and it gives us a great platform to further raise the profile of the women's game."
Powell, who has managed England since 1998, says she based her selections for the Team GB squad purely on merit.
"I didn't feel any pressure to include players from Northern Ireland or Wales," she said.
"I was tasked with picking the best squad of players and that's what I've done. We had everyone looked at extensively.
"I took the associations out of the equation and it was just about trying to pick a squad of players that I felt would do the best job possible."
Everton and England goalkeeper Rachel Brown told BBC Radio Lancashire that being selected to represent Team GB at London 2012 is "the pinnacle" of her career.
"It's something that, a few years ago, we didn't think the opportunity would ever arise," said Brown, who has appeared in both the World Cup and European Championships for England.
"It's only really been in the few months since it's been confirmed that you start thinking about how much it would mean to you (to be selected).
v NEW ZEALAND - Cardiff, 25 July
v CAMEROON - Cardiff, 28 July
v BRAZIL - Wembley, 31 July
"Being part of the biggest tournament in the whole world is still sinking in. If anyone's part of the Olympics, it's got to be the pinnacle of their career and I'm starting to think it could be the pinnacle of my career as well."
Brown's Everton team mate Jill Scott says that Team GB have a tough task on their hands when they face Brazil in their final Group E game.
"Brazil are one of the best teams in the women's game, they have the best player in the world in Marta, who a couple of the girls have played against in America. It's going to be a very difficult game."
London 2012 will be the first time that Great Britain has competed in the Olympic women's football tournament, and their opening match against New Zealand at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on 25 July takes place two days before the opening ceremony.
Squad: Eniola Aluko, Anita Asante, Karen Bardsley, Sophie Bradley, Rachel Brown, Karen Carney, Ifeoma Dieke, Stephanie Houghton, Kim Little, Claire Rafferty, Alex Scott, Jill Scott, Kelly Smith, Casey Stoney, Fara Williams, Rachel Williams, Ellen White, Rachel Yankey.
Reserves: Jess Clarke, Emma Higgins, Jane Ross, Dunia Susi.
Within the wider festival, the five-day Showcase Scotland event gives a platform to about 60 Scottish musicians and bands to perform in front of promoters, record labels, bookers and festival organisers from around the world.
"Every, single minute is packed full of one-on-one meetings," says Lisa Whytock, Showcase Scotland producer.
About 180 delegates - from as far afield as Australia and Canada - are invited to attend, network and encouraged to book a couple of Scottish or Scottish-based musicians or bands.
Ms Whytock says the line-up consists of "export ready artists".
"Deliberately we only have 180 places available for the festivals and bookers," she continues.
"We want to make sure that business is done, they really must book our artists otherwise what's the point in doing the event. It's about making sure that Scotland and its music is booked by the world."
One of the bands taking part is the contemporary folk group, Rura. They have been involved in the event before and found it useful for understanding how the whole business works.
"It's really getting to know all the different agents and bookers and promoters," says David Foley, who plays bodhrán and flute in the band.
"Even though you'd meet someone one year and you wouldn't get anything out of it, you're building a relationship, that's why this weekend is so important for the Scottish folk scene and bands like us."
Part of Showcase Scotland is a trade fair. During it, an upstairs part of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall is given over to stalls representing bands, musicians and other agencies. There are people chatting, meetings being snatched in corners, deals being done.
"Our music is very strong and it's an international brand," says Ian Smith, head of music at Creative Scotland. He thinks the event has surpassed official figures and is now worth nearer £3m in artist bookings.
He spends the event talking to people who want to know more or book artists and the fact of the trade fair taking place means that the process of putting bands and buyers together is streamlined.
"It's good that you can do that business very, very quickly and that's why they're here." says Mr Smith.
Each year the event has an international partner whose musicians are also featured. This year, that country is France. A previous partner country was Australia.
"Over the course of these five days I try to see as much music as I can and meet as many folks as I can to increase the chances of great music from Scotland heading our way," says Chloe Goodyear, head of programming at Australia's Woodward Folk Festival.
"Being able to see music that's exportable in its natural environment and not in a conference environment is a real treat - it's the way it should be done."
Terrance Clark, 50, was jailed for life and Lewis, 28, was given a 16-year-term for the raid at Tattenham Corner, Surrey, following a trial in June.
The pair, originally from Battersea, south London, were each ordered to pay £22,500 during a confiscation hearing at Guildford Crown Court.
They had previous convictions for violent offences including robberies.
Det Ch Insp Paul Rymarz, said: "Obtaining the two conviction orders and the fact the pair now have to pay back the money they stole in compensation is an additional benefit to the already lengthy prison sentences handed to them."
The van driver James Smith, was left with significant injuries to his face and hands after the armed robbery on 30 January 2013.
Surrey Police published a Twitter reconstruction a month after the raid to gather information from people in the area at the time and eliminate suspects from inquiries.
The force said the tweets reached 53,000 people and generated 40 calls.
Officers have arrested two men, aged 70 and 48, who remain in custody on suspicion of murder.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were tipped off that the woman's body was in a blue Nissan NX100 in Heywood, shortly after 19:35 BST on Thursday.
On Friday, officers followed a car matching its description, which was seen in Claybank Street at 15:50 BST.
It was later found abandoned on nearby River Street.
A post-mortem examination and formal identification of the victim is yet to take place, police said.
Det Supt Tony Creely, from GMP, said: "Understandably an incident like this has caused a lot of concern in the community and interest in the media, but I would like to assure everybody that a thorough investigation has been launched.
"I would like to urge anybody with any information to please come forward."
HedHigh in St Mary's Road, Southampton, has been selling Kamagra - an imported drug for erectile dysfunction - to customers over the counter.
These types of drugs are only allowed to be sold on prescription in the UK.
Kamagra, which contains sildenafil citrate that is also found in Viagra, is not licensed or regulated in the UK.
Experts at Reading University tested the product and found it contained double the dose of sildenafil citrate prescribed legally by doctors.
Prof Laurence Marius Harwood said: "There's quite a lot more in one of those sachets than in the [Viagra] pill. The pills generally contain about 50 milligrams, the sachets contain twice as much. It's twice as strong."
During secret filming, a shop worker at HedHigh sold a BBC reporter the product for £10 and told him it was a "legal high".
"And it's completely like…legit? I guess it's been tested…" the reporter said.
"Yep, yep, of course," the shop worker said.
Alastair Jeffrey, head of enforcement at Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said: "It's concerning to see a medicine, which is an unlicensed medicine, on display in a shop, which somebody could just come in and buy.
"You really don't know where this medicine has come from, you don't know how it's been stored.
"It's a powerful medicine, it should only be prescribed, and here it is on sale, visibly in a shop. That's not good, that's terrible."
In some cases, doctors warn, the product could be fatal.
"Worst-case scenario, you could be on certain blood pressure medication, and you combine it with sildenafil and your blood pressure could drop catastrophically, and potentially you could even die," said Dr Richard Roope, from The Whiteley Surgery, Fareham.
"It's not people that are interested in your health, it's people that are interested in taking your money," Mr Jeffrey said of those supplying the product.
Anyone supplying Kamagra in the UK is "committing serious offences under the human medicines regulations and you can go to prison for two years, or you can be given an unlimited fine," he warned.
HedHigh has failed to respond to multiple requests by the BBC for comment.
BBC South revisited the shop with a camera crew and not undercover.
When asked why Kamagra had been sold, another shop worker said: "I've never sold that."

Adult voters in France will be heading to the polls on Sunday to choose from 11 candidates.
Children are not yet old enough to vote in the election themselves, but we went to France find out who they thought should win the country's top job.
French children tell Newsround what they think.
Ricardo Hunter from Coulsdon in south London, died from a single gunshot wound at the private event in Headley, near Epsom.
Two others were injured in the shooting just after 02:30 BST on Monday.
The 38-year-old man from London, arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, was bailed until 8 September, Surrey Police said.
A 36-year-old woman was shot in the leg and taken to hospital while another man was treated for minor shoulder wounds.
On Wednesday a woman, 30, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender was released on conditional bail until September.
The Big Lottery fund in Wales said the Wisdom Bank site was funded to share knowledge, and had "met its targets".
After its funding ended last year, Torfaen council took it over.
But the site is currently down because of a "temporary technical issue".
Mike Harris, a councillor on the authority's audit committee, said continued public funding of the site would be like "flogging a dead horse".
Big Lottery said in a statement the project aimed to "harness the experience and skills of people in the 45 to 65 age group for the wider benefit of the community of Torfaen".
"This will be achieved through the development of a web-based Wisdom Bank providing online, interactive, one-to-one advice and mentoring in a secure private environment.
"Initial support will be targeted at entrepreneurship, employment support for young people who are NEET (not in employment, education or training), care leavers, support for carers and for people with long-term health conditions."
The project aimed to recruit 60 mentors and support 500 individuals.
But despite claims it has "met targets", Torfaen council said it currently has 340 users.
Mr Harris said no more public money should be spent on the site unless it can prove its worth.
"Big Lottery would have looked at the business plan and you have to question their judgement with such a risk," he said.
"£250,000 to use a web portal to engage with an audience of 340 doesn't seem good value for me, when you can actually engage with them through social media such as Facebook.
"It's an embarrassment if it continues - I think serious questions need to be asked because now they'll be using taxpayers money to continue with a project.
"If it's a dead horse I'm afraid there are far more worthy causes that money needs to be spent on."
A Torfaen council spokesperson said: "Torfaen Public Service Board sees the Wisdom Bank as an innovative digital platform for engaging with the local community...the council is now overseeing further development of the platform.
"There is currently a technical issue with the site which will be fixed as soon as possible."
The Wisdom Bank's Facebook and Twitter account have not been updated since last summer.
He was identified by Durham Police as PC Paul Taylor from Darlington.
PC Taylor was seen linking arms with a group of fans and dancing in a circle during Justin Bieber's performance.
"I had posed for a picture with these two young girls who were with their mum, and they asked if I'd like to dance," he explained.
"I can't remember what was playing at the time, I think it may have been Justin Bieber. Since the clip went viral my phone hasn't stopped ringing!"
One Love Manchester was praised for bringing the city together at a time of immense grief.
The benefit concert was described invariably - and correctly - as a night of joy, unity, solidarity and defiance.
Those in attendance, including some of the artists, struggled to hold back tears - the emotion still raw from the suicide bombing that killed 22 people last month.
For viewers at home who'd just about managed to hold it together, the moment that many said tipped them over the edge involved seeing PC Taylor dancing with the six fans.
It was a glorious sight.
BBC music reporter Mark Savage described it as the point he "broke" while others said it was their "favourite moment" of the show, with others adding that they were "weeping".
PC Taylor, who has 20 years in service, got back home at 03:30 BST after working at the concert.
He said: "One Love Manchester was an amazing experience and it made such a change to have people coming up to us saying they were glad we were there and how reassured they felt.
"We were just there to play our part helping our Greater Manchester Police colleagues after such an enormous and tragic event."
It may only have lasted for a few seconds on screen, but it was seized upon by fans as a symbol of Manchester's spirit of resilience.
And it's fair to say the city feels a certain bond with Ariana, as many of the tweets on Sunday night proved.
"So impressed with Ariana Grande's strength and love for her fans. Seems they have an unbreakable bond in Manchester now," said fan Graeme Shield.
The concert was watched by an average of 10.9 million viewers, peaking at 14.5 million as the gig drew to a close - making it the most watched TV show of the year so far.
It also broke iPlayer records for the most watched non-sporting live event in the catch-up service's history.
The BBC said more than 1.07 million viewers requested to watch the gig live via iPlayer on Sunday evening.
The dancing policeman was one of several moments which made concertgoers and viewers emotional.
Katy Perry's performance was one of the highlights of the evening.
She perfectly captured the mood of the night by performing Part of Me and Roar - probably the two most lyrically poignant songs from her back catalogue she could choose to sing.
But music aside, there was one other seriously classy touch which went unnoticed by many.
When she took off her white-feathered gown, it became apparent the singer was wearing a dress which had photographs printed on it - which appeared to include some of the victims of the Manchester attack.
Taking to social media, fans described it as a "beautiful gesture".
Joan Grande, the singer's mother, was spotted in the crowd, supporting her daughter and meeting members of the audience.
She was seen walking around the edge of the crowd, stopping for selfies and hugs with several fans on the way and telling one: "Do not be afraid."
She had previously tweeted: "I stand with you all in the face of evil and we stand together to never let it ruin our lives."
Viewers certainly noticed the love flowing between Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande as they took to the stage to perform Don't Dream its Over as a duet.
The pair exchanged looks of pure love, shared hugs and got the whole audience to wave their hands in unison to the Crowded House song.
Speaking afterwards, Miley said she wanted to turn such events into a regular occurrence.
She told Nick Grimshaw: "I plan on making music for the rest of my life, and I think that's [Ariana's] plan too, and I think we can be this team until we're old, continue to do things like this, let's not stop today.
"I spoke to her about whether this is going to become an annual thing, let's make it a plan that her and I always do it, so we're always going to make sure that we keep doing this for the rest of our lives."
Crowded House front man Neil Finn tweeted his approval of the them joining forces.
Ariana Grande's manager Scooter Braun introduced the singer on stage at the show, and took the opportunity to pay a graceful and emotional tribute to those who were caught up in the attack.
He made reference to the terrorist attack on London Bridge on Saturday evening, in which seven people were killed and 48 injured.
Speaking from the stage at One Love Manchester, Braun said: "Last night this nation was challenged, and you had a decision to make if you were going to come out here tonight.
"And this is so beautiful. You guys made that decision, you looked fear right in the face and said: 'No, we are Manchester and the world is watching'."
Braun also told the audience about a 15-year-old boy named Adam, who was injured in the Manchester Arena attack, whom he met on Friday in hospital.
He explained: "After surgery we met him, and just as I was about to leave the room, Adam looked at me and he said, 'Hey Scooter, make sure you tell them, don't go forward in anger, love spreads'. Adam - if you're watching, you're our hero tonight.
"This tragedy has made us throw away our divides, or politics, and look to our children. Manchester, your bravery is our hope."

The storm, which earlier had hurricane-strength wind speeds of up to 130km/h (80mph), made landfall early on Thursday in Belize, in Central America.
Earl weakened as it moved inland with wind speeds dropping to about 105 km/h.
The storm is predicted to move across northern Guatemala and south-eastern Mexico on Thursday, where its rains could still cause flash floods and mudslides.
Earlier, heavy rains fell on Honduras.
Residents of Belize City and other coastal communities had been urged by the authorities to move inland and take advantage of higher ground or a network of storm shelters.
Officials ordered the closure of the city's international airport while archaeological reserves and national parks were shut.
At least nine people died on Monday in Haiti and the Dominican Republic as the storm passed over the Caribbean.
Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are all part of the same weather phenomenon but different names are used depending on where the storms are formed. Hurricanes form east of the International Date Line, while typhoons and cyclones form to the west.
The latest review, which has taken two years, suggests networks of surgeons working as teams across hospitals.
These fresh proposals will be considered by NHS England's board later this week.
It warns that not all centres currently doing this work can meet the new standards.
Previous efforts to reduce the number of units performing delicate heart operations on very sick children in England led to acrimony.
They were eventually derailed, after being challenged in court and questioned by a panel of independent experts.
The government decided two years ago that the public had lost confidence in the reorganisation.
This new review has examined surgery for adults as well as children born with heart defects.
It suggests cardiac surgeons should work in teams of at least four, with each of them doing more than 125 of these highly specialised operations every year.
The review warns that not all heart units are currently working in this way.
It says: "We are not making any proposals for changes to the configuration of specialist providers at this time.
"Some hospitals are undertaking very low volume practice.
"We intend to bring an end to this practice, which we do not consider to be in the best interests of patients."
A separate paper, by a sub-group representing hospital providers, acknowledges that closing one or more centre could remain an option.
The paper warns: "Delivery of the standards requires providers to solve some knotty issues that previous processes have failed to solve.
"There is still a chance this process might break down.
"Although there have been points where participants have been frustrated, we seem to agree that the process has been worthwhile so far; that it has stimulated a different kind of conversation to the ones we have had before; that we are addressing some difficult issues; and that we are making progress.
"NHS England has indicated that it wants to commission the new service and have it up and running by April 2016."
Northampton hooker Hartley is serving a six-week ban for catching Leinster's Sean O'Brien with a swinging arm in a Champions Cup match earlier this month.
The 30-year-old has now accumulated 60 weeks in suspensions, but is available for England's Six Nations defence.
"This is not the last chance for him but he understands he can't behave in the way he did," Jones said.
Speaking in the Telegraph, the Australian added: "Dylan will be more disappointed than anyone about what has happened. He has got to cop the penalty because the World Rugby directive on protecting the head is 100% right.
"He has let down himself, he has let down his club and he has let down his country."
Hartley's dismissal in Northampton's 37-10 home defeat by Leinster had jeopardised his involvement in England's Six Nations campaign, with their opening fixture against France at Twickenham on 4 February. However, he is eligible to play again from 23 January.
He was dropped from the World Cup squad last year under former head coach Stuart Lancaster after he headbutted Saracens' Jamie George.
Hartley has been selected to lead the side for Jones' 13 Tests in charge, all victories, but the 56-year-old has not guaranteed he will retain the captaincy.
Jones said: "He is eligible for selection for the Six Nations and it comes down to the case for every selection - we pick the best 23 and if he is in the best 23, then he has a chance to be captain."

Jane Hutt said this would be on top of any cuts resulting from Chancellor George Osborne's spending review.
Welsh councils have faced average cuts of 3.4% in funding from the Welsh government over the past two years.
Ms Hutt also called on the chancellor to agree to "fair funding" for Wales.
The UK government has said it will provide a "funding floor", designed to protect the Welsh government from being squeezed by the Barnett formula that sets budgets for the four UK nations.
Ms Hutt was speaking at a conference of council leaders, who had gathered at City Hall in Cardiff on Thursday to discuss the financial challenges with senior members of the Welsh government.
Local authorities have been making major cuts to departments other than social services, which are protected by law, and schools, which have been protected by the current Labour Welsh government.
Two years of reduced funding from the Welsh government followed a four-year freeze.
First Minister Carwyn Jones has said he will do all he can to prioritise spending on health and education.
However, he has warned he could not protect public services in Wales against what he called "enormous cuts" from Westminster.
The chancellor has asked non-protected UK government departments to find £20bn of savings ahead of his spending review announcement next Wednesday.
Ms Hutt also said she hoped to hear Mr Osborne announce funding for a "city deal" backing major transport and infrastructure projects for Cardiff and south east Wales.
Ten local councils and the Welsh government have set aside a combined £600m for the deal, and are waiting to hear whether the Treasury will match the pledge.
Max Barry "suffered from an overdose and passed away" in Denver on Saturday, said Ms Barry and her husband, Bruce.
The circumstances surrounding his death, including what substance he overdosed on, were not clear.
Max Barry had recently graduated from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, in June.
He died in Littleton, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, where he moved after graduation, according to the Tennessean newspaper.
"Early this morning, we received news that no parents should ever have to hear," the couple said in a statement on Sunday.
"We cannot begin to describe the pain and heartbreak that comes with losing our only child. Our son was a kind soul full of life and love for his family and friends," the statement continued.
Max Barry is the only child of Mrs Barry and her husband, a professor at Vanderbilt University
"Our hearts break for Mayor Megan Barry," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted. "Please keep her family in your thoughts."
Congressman Jim Cooper called it a "terrible tragedy that no family should have to suffer".
"My heart goes out to Megan and Bruce. They are such wonderful people," he told the Tennessean.
More than half a million people in the US died from drug overdoses between 2000 and 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Many of those deaths involved overdosing on an opioid, a type of drug used to relieve pain that has ravaged parts of the US.
Mrs Barry was sworn in as Nashville's first female mayor in 2015.
Peters, who had Alzheimer's disease, joined the show as Jack in May 1980 and was last heard on air in July 2011.
A storyline which told of his character's Alzheimer's helped the show to win the Mental Health Media Award in 2007.
June Spencer, who played wife Peggy, paid tribute to a "complete pro".
"He loved acting - it was his life," she said.
"I picture him in the latter days in the green room with his stick and his cap, always very genial."
She added: "He was very conscientious - he always turned in a good performance no matter what we were doing."
She said Peters, who took over a part originally played by Philip Garston-Jones, was "very active, all the time, whether it was for charity or professionally", and produced amateur dramatic shows, was a country dance caller and a drummer.
In 2011, the Archers team visited Peters at his home, near Northampton, to record what would be his final scenes.
"His memory was failing but he could still turn in a good performance," said Spencer.
"He read it perfectly. We worked together just as we'd always done, up to the last."
Peters, who died on Saturday afternoon, had previously appeared in the Archers playing characters including Welsh farmhand "with a past" Len Thomas, in 1953, and Rev David Latimer, from 1968 to 1973.
His character Jack Woolley, who was born in Birmingham in 1919, was previously married to Valerie, who he divorced in 1974, and had a loyal chauffeur, Higgs, and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Captain.
In 2009, the character moved into the Laurels care home, where he still lives.
The Archers editor Vanessa Whitburn said that, with "enormous skill", Peters took the character of Jack Woolley "from sharp, sometimes ruthless businessman, mellowing through the years into retirement and eventual dependence on wife Peggy, as Alzheimer's set in".
"Only the best actors can fine tune those character arcs over many years and Arnold was the best," she added.
After serving in the RAF during World War II, Peters worked at Northampton Repertory Theatre - now the Royal Theatre, Northampton - for five years.
He performed in BBC Children's Hour productions and was also a member of the corporation's Drama Repertory Company in Birmingham.
In the 1990s, he appeared as a grandfather in TV adverts for Werther's Original toffees

Strachan named two separate squads for Thursday's 1-0 win over Czech Republic and Tuesday's match at Hampden Park and will make changes against the Danes.
"We saw the game against Czech Republic and they did well to win," former Malmo boss Hareide told BBC Scotland.
"But I know some of those players are not playing now."
But Hareide, who tasted victory over Scotland as Norway boss and with Malmo over Celtic, pointed out that he knows the Scottish style and has great respect for Scotland coach Gordon Strachan.
"I know a lot, but it's mixed up, so you don't have complete control over what we do," said the Denmark coach.
"They always have a heart to play football and that is why we wanted to play against Scotland.
"We know we will get a fight - even as a friendly. It's a real football country.
"Gordon Strachan's been around for a while and has great experience."
Hareide took charge of Denmark in December, succeeding Morten Olsen, who had been in charge for 15 years.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen explained that the team are still adjusting to the new approach.
"At the moment, it's about winning games and getting used to the new system and style of playing, so hopefully it's going to be a good game," he said.
"We are really eager and we want to learn the methods of how we are going to play in the future."
Denmark come into Tuesday's contest having won a friendly last week, with the Danes defeating Iceland 2-1 at home while Scotland were defeating the Czechs in Prague.
"We are both going to be sitting on the couch this summer," added Eriksen, whose side have not won away from home in their last five outings.
"Scotland have a lot of confidence going into this game and so do we.
"We always want to create goals - it doesn't matter where we play.
"Of course our away record is not very good, but every day is new and hopefully tomorrow will be a good one."
They approached the eight-month pregnant woman after she parked her VW Golf in a car park in Birmingham. Police said they were "lying in wait".
The victim tried to run away but was dragged to the floor. The men stole her keys and smashed her phone.
She went to hospital and police say she and her unborn child are "doing well".
Sgt Philip Poole, from West Midlands Police, said the woman was treated for minor injuries after the incident near Yew Tree car park, opposite Frogmoor Lane, on 11 December.

"Nevertheless, it was a shocking attack against a heavily pregnant woman and the outcome could have been far worse," he said.
"We need to identify the offenders before they are able to attack again."
CCTV images of the offenders, described as Asian, have been released by police.
Her vehicle, which has an on-board tracker, has since been recovered and is being forensically examined.
"We've secured CCTV and recovered the car, but we're still appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything suspicious, or has any other information which they believe will assist the investigation to come forward," Mr Poole added.
Anthony Marsh, chief executive of the West Midlands Ambulance Service will take over the helm of the troubled service from Andrew Morgan.
It is understood Dr Marsh will retain his job in the West Midlands.
The union Unison said it "cautiously welcomed" Dr Marsh's appointment and hoped he would create "stability".
In a statement the East of England Ambulance Service Trust, would not confirm Dr Marsh's appointment, saying only that the trust had "been asked to pause the recruitment programme for a permanent chief executive so that further options can be explored and developed".
It said Andrew Morgan would continue as interim chief executive.
The West Midlands service said it was "not aware of any announcement by the East of England Ambulance Service".
But Ray Salmon, regional organiser of Unison in the West Midlands, said Dr Marsh had announced to the union in a meeting that he was taking on the East of England job but keeping his job in the West Midlands.
He said Dr Marsh had "delivered a lot of change" in the West Midlands, and the service was "completely different" to 2006 when he took over as chief executive.
Gary Aplin, Unison's branch secretary for the East of England service, said: "We would welcome a substantive chief executive officer without a shadow of a doubt, hopefully to take the trust forward and out of the mess it's currently in."
But he expressed concern that the new chief executive would be keeping his job in the West Midlands.
"We are in quite a situation where we need some strong leadership permanently... our concern is that he's doing two jobs and that's a little bit worrying," he said.
Dr Marsh was commissioned to write a report in to the East of England Ambulance Service Trust because of concerns over the trust's performance.
His highly-critical report in June said there was a lack of accountability throughout the organisation and made 24 specific recommendations, including cutting back on management to pay for more emergency crews.
Prior to becoming chief executive in the West Midlands, Dr Marsh was chief executive of Essex Ambulance Service before it was reorganised and led it from being zero-rated to a top-performing three star trust.
The East of England Ambulance Service covers Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.
'Joyance', an 1899 statue of a boy by Sir William Goscombe John, was cut from the water fountain in Thompson's Park, Canton, Cardiff.
Sir William was one of the most prominent 19th Century sculptors and the theft comes in the 150th anniversary year of his birth.
Cardiff Council called it a "mindless crime". Police are investigating.
Executive member for sport, culture and leisure Councillor Nigel Howells said: "This is a mindless crime that has deprived visitors to Thompson's Park of a much loved feature.
"Security measures are in place at the park, with the gates locked every evening.
"This is an isolated incident and the matter has now been referred to South Wales Police".
2010 marks the 150th anniversary of Sir William Goscombe John's birth in Canton and a local pub is named in his honour, near where his street used to stand.
His statues and monuments can be seen in many places in the UK and abroad, including Westminster Abbey, St Paul's and Llandaff cathedrals.
Many remain in Cardiff, including the statues of Lord Ninian in the civic centre and 'The Elf' in St Fagans.
His father, John, was a woodcarver to the third Marquis of Bute and William assisted him with carvings at Cardiff Castle. Sir William, knighted in 1911, died in 1952, aged 92.
The statue, which is 4-5ft, was stolen in the early hours of Saturday, July 31.
A South Wales Police spokeswoman confirmed that officers were investigating.
Anyone with information is asked to call Canton Police Station on 029 2022 2111 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
The pair suffered hamstring problems in training on Tuesday and could also miss the trip to Burnley next weekend.
Leicester are hopeful that captain Wes Morgan will return from the hamstring injury that kept him out of the midweek defeat by Arsenal.
Club record signing Islam Slimani is expected to be available after three matches out with a groin injury.
John Motson: "Both clubs would refute the notion there is little importance attached to this game.
"West Brom are chasing a club record Premier League points tally despite three straight defeats. They need six more points and, looking at their tough remaining fixtures, surely need to win this one.
"Leicester aren't safe yet, having taken just one point from three games.
"Leicester's Champions League exploits appear to have disrupted their domestic momentum. If their season tails off, you wonder whether the future of a few players might be up for debate.
"Saturday's fixture is also notable for probably being the last Premier League outing for referee Mark Clattenburg. He was entrusted with the FA Cup, Champions League and Euro 2016 finals last year, and his departure will deprive English football of arguably its top official."
West Brom head coach Tony Pulis on Leicester's former Albion player and coach Craig Shakespeare: "He's from this area, he played for Walsall as well. He's a good football man, been in football for a long time.
"He's got his first opportunity and he's done a good job since taking over."
Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare: "There are 15 points available and we want them all.
"I spent a large part of my career there [at West Brom] as a player and coach, so I have fond memories. But we're desperate to get a result.
"They've progressed a lot as a club, both on and off the field. I think they can play both ways - they can mix it and be direct but they have flair players like (Matty) Phillips and (Nacer) Chadli and can counter-attack quickly and play."
The Baggies are at home, and have not played since 16 April, while Leicester were in action against Arsenal on Wednesday night.
I think that will make a difference, although I could not really tell you where the Baggies' goals are going to come from.

Only one of 67 people known to have survived the camp, he escaped by clambering over bodies piled up by a fence as the Nazis shot prisoners during a mass break-out.
In 2013, he returned to the site to mark 70 years since his escape.
About 870,000 people died in the gas chambers at Treblinka - more than anywhere else except Auschwitz.
Mr Willenberg urged the world never to forget Treblinka.
In October 1942, aged 19, he was among 6,000 Jews from the Opatow ghetto who arrived by train at the camp.
They were told they were at a transit camp and had to undress and shower before being sent onward. In reality, the shower rooms were gas chambers.
But because he was a bricklayer he was assigned to manual labour duties and escaped an early death. His job was to sort through the belongings of the people sent to the gas chambers.
After the war Mr Willenberg - whose two sisters were killed at the camp - moved to Israel and became a surveyor.
"I live two lives, one is here and now and the other is what happened there,'' he said. `"It never leaves me. It stays in my head. It goes with me always."
Most of Treblinka's guards were never prosecuted for their part in the crimes there.
Treblinka's commandant, Franz Stangl, was sentenced to life imprisonment in October 1970 following his trial in the west German city of Duesseldorf.
Today nothing remains of the extermination camp apart from the ashes of the mostly Jewish men, women and children murdered there.
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.

China's richest man has continued his Hollywood shopping spree - snapping up the company that runs the Golden Globes.
Dalian Wanda, run by property magnate Wang Jianlin, is paying $1bn (£800m) for Dick Clark Productions that also runs the Miss America beauty pageant and the Billboard Music Awards.
The Chinese conglomerate already controls the AMC cinema chain, the second largest in the US, as well as Legendary Entertainment , co-producer of hit films including Godzilla and The Dark Knight Rises, and has a tie-up with Sony Pictures.
It seems that Mr Wang, who sits on a personal fortune of $32.1bn (£26.4bn) according to a recent rich list, really is buying up the US entertainment industry, one step at a time.
Many suspect it is just a matter of time until he gets a big chunk of one of Hollywood's big six film studios. Earlier this year he got close to buying a 49% stake in Paramount Pictures from Viacom before the deal collapsed.
Dalian Wanda said the purchase of Dick Clark Productions represented Wanda's "first step" into television production.
But long before this deal, some US politicians were already worried about China's influence in Hollywood and the US media - whether that is censoring media or producing pro-Chinese propaganda. In September, 16 members of the US Congress called for greater scrutiny of foreign investments, mentioning Dalian Wanda by name.
Mr Wang has not shied away from his ambition to make China a dominant global force in entertainment and to bring "more Chinese elements" to the output.
But he insists he is motivated by a "business perspective" rather than a political one, with China's box office takings predicted to match the US and Canada by 2018 - and to grow by around 15% each year for the next decade.
"You cannot try to just make money in the Chinese market and disregard Chinese tastes," Mr Wang said earlier this year.
But there is "soft power" at play here too - using businesses to wield cultural influence over the way China is portrayed.
Next year Legendary Entertainment, in partnership with Universal, will release Great Wall - starring Hollywood stars Matt Damon and Willem Dafoe alongside big name Chinese actor Andy Lau and boy-band idol Wang Junkai,
And crucially, it will be the first major Hollywood film, aimed at a global audience, to be set, filmed and produced in China.
Angela Wrightson, 39, was found in her blood-spattered living room in Hartlepool in December 2014.
Photographs of the crime scene and of a variety of weapons allegedly used by the girls, then aged 13 and 14, were shown to Leeds Crown Court.
The girls, who cannot be named because of their age, deny murder.
The older girl has admitted manslaughter.
Forensic expert Dr Gemma Escott told the court that pages from a diary had been set alight in the property and scorch marks were found on Ms Wrightson's clothes.
Dr Escott, who specialises in blood spatter analysis, said Ms Wrightson had been attacked at least five times on one sofa.
She was found the next morning on a second sofa, which Dr Escott said had blood staining which indicated she had been positioned there after she died.
Ms Wrightson was naked from the waist down and grit and shards of glass had been scattered over her, jurors heard.
Dr Escott said tracksuit bottoms found next to Ms Wrightson had been "pulled off her in one movement", and "were so blood soaked" there was only a small patch of fabric left clear enough to attempt to find evidence.
"A basic attempt was made to start a fire after the deceased was positioned on the sofa," she said.
Earlier, Home Office pathologist Dr Mark Egan told the court that items including a metal pan, two broken glass vases and a wooden stick with protruding screws "were compatible" with Ms Wrightson's many injuries.
She suffered "a bare minimum" of 103 cuts and bruises, including 15 slash wounds to her head.
He said there were three possible causes of death - loss of blood, a head injury, or asphyxiation. He could not tell which of those was the case, he said.
Ms Wrightson had high levels of alcohol in her blood when she died which could have contributed to her injuries, Dr Egan said.
"It would have made her more susceptible to falling or impaired her coordination. It can also worsen the impact of a blow to the head, but I would rule out any suggestion the level of blood alcohol was a fatal one," he added.
The case, scheduled to last for five weeks, continues.
Some members of the party have wanted to hear a speech like this for years.
And although he never really expected to be doing one of the most high profile, hardest jobs in politics, if Jeremy Corbyn was nervous, he didn't show it.
And goodness me, the audience was pleased to see him, applauding for two minutes on their feet before he even said a word.
Inside the hall his clarion calls, as he even highlighted, "strong message here", were eagerly received, even though I caught the eyes of a fair number of stony-faced MPs.
Promises to end austerity, to defend human rights, to oppose cuts to tax credits, to end "Tory gerrymandering" played well to the home crowd, and will have delighted the many, many thousands of supporters who signed up over the summer with the express reason of giving him their backing.
And by mentioning, repeatedly, his mandate and firm intention to reform the party, it is clear that he wants to change how Labour works fundamentally, abandoning control and command that came to dominate the party from the mid-nineties.
Instead he wants to spread power across the party, including to his new supporters. Inside the movement, this excites and alarms, perhaps in equal measure.
But having found himself unexpectedly their leader, was Jeremy Corbyn ready to take advantage of the chance to tell the rest of the country what he would do with power?
Conference speeches like this are one of the very few opportunities that opposition leaders have not just to display their agenda, but to connect to the wider public, whose votes they ultimately need.
Team Corbyn created the expectation that he would play to this, extol his love of British values, his belief that the majority agrees with him. He did, up to a point.
But here, there was a conflict in his speech.
It was the speech of an activist, a protestor, Jeremy Corbyn the campaigner, a list of the causes he passionately believes in, not a programme for government.
He hardly mentioned how to balance the books, there was little appeal to those outside the party.
This speech was a long way from Ed Miliband's "squeezed middle", and a million miles from the New Labour call to Middle England.
And aside from a few passages about encouraging entrepreneurs, this was a speech that could have been delivered at one of the packed-out rallies during the leadership contest itself.
With the Labour party so demoralised after its election defeat perhaps a zealous campaigner in its comfort zone is precisely what it needs.
Mr Corbyn has recruited an army of new supporters.
And he has broken the rule that politics is the art of the possible, by achieving a victory that his party's establishment thought impossible.
But after today, the anxiety of many MP s in the party who want to understand how that translates to the rest of the country remains.
There are fears that ancient collections and artefacts - which survived the siege of Sarajevo - could be in jeopardy.
The National Museum is one of the key institutions affected.
The building survived the First World War, the Nazi invasion of the Second World War and, most recently, relentless shelling during the siege of Sarajevo.
Workers from the museum dodged sniper bullets and mortar fire to retrieve as many of the precious artefacts as possible.
The building was badly damaged during the four-year onslaught, yet the exhibits were saved and the museum was able to reopen as before.
In spite of its resilience in war-time, Museum Director Adnan Busuladzic fears he could be forced to close the doors within weeks.
As it is, his staff haven't been paid for six months, many have been forced to take on extra part-time jobs to survive, and he's even struggling to pay the museum's utility bills.
"We will have very big problems with the alarm system, security system, central heating and the conservation of our collections," he says.
He is worried about the effect that turning off the electricity and heating systems will have on the artefacts.
"The process of damage is very possible."
Among the priceless artefacts at the museum is the Sarajevo Haggadah, one of the oldest surviving Jewish texts in the world, thought to originate from Spain in the 1350s.
The beautifully illustrated book, which depicts the flight of the Jews from Egypt, was one of the artefacts saved from the bombardment during the siege.
Before that, the Sarajevo Haggadah was spared the bonfires of the Nazis (unlike so many other Jewish books and documents) by being smuggled out of the National Museum and stashed under the floorboards of a local mosque throughout World War Two.
Its fate is also uncertain if the museum closes.
The crisis in funding cultural institutions highlights the complex nature of modern Bosnian politics.
The fact that there are 13 separate ministries of education shows how fragmented, and vast, the political structure is.
Ethnic identity has become ever more important in politics since the end of the war, and many blame the Dayton peace accords for making that inevitable.
Setting up a national ministry of culture has proved more controversial than establishing a defence ministry - and the central government still doesn't have one.
But musician and political activist Damir Niksic says given the country's violent history, caused by ethnic tension, a national ministry of culture is essential, and so are the museums.
"People refer to different periods as the periods of their identity, like Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian or medieval period.
"So I say let's put all these historical periods in departments of the museum and liberate daily life from the mutated monster of history that was created by quasi- historians."
At the heart of the crisis of cultural institutions in Bosnia-Hercegovina is the very identity crisis of the nation itself.
It is something prime time TV host Aleksandar Hrsum tries to address on his weekly, and hugely popular, live debate show "The Forbidden Forum" on Pink TV.
He is technically a Bosnian Serb, but refuses to describe himself as such - preferring simply "Bosnian" as his identity.
Listen to the documentary
"I believe in Bosnia-Hercegovina and I tell my audience to believe in their country, we can change our country. Separate politics and culture, please."
But the very notion of a national identity is rejected by many on all sides of the cultural divide.
Some don't even recognise the legitimacy of the country they live in.
Serb writer Nedelijko Zelenovic argues it is better to keep everything separate.
"There is no such nationality as Bosnia-Hercegovinan, it's not possible. There is no unified national identity, no one would agree to it."
But maintaining such a fractured system is not just confusing, it's expensive.
Sixty-percent of taxes go towards financing the sprawling government, and that is in a country with an unemployment rate approaching 40%.
Many argue it is time to start spending money on bringing the country together, and building the economy, not in maintaining cumbersome separate administrations - in a country with a population smaller than that of Manhattan.
The National Museum and other institutions have managed to get by on ticket sales and grants from the central government for the past few years, but when yet more political wrangling left the country without a central government for most of 2011, the grants stopped arriving and the money ran out.
In the final days of 2011 a deal was reached to agree on a central government and a new prime minister, Vjekoslav Bevanda, was sworn in in January.
The hope is that the central parliament will now be able to agree on a budget to fund the national institutions until a more permanent solution, or even a central ministry of culture, can be set up.
National Museum Director Adnan Busuladzic believes the country's history doesn't have to be a problem.
"We care about the heritage of all the people of Bosnia-Hercegovina: Serb, Bosniak, Croatian, Jewish, Gypsy.
"Our history is mixed, our society is mixed. We have a problem with politics, but not history - history is OK."
Charlotte Christodoulou from Walsall, West Midlands, was discovered in the in the grounds of Harlescott Junior school on 4 January.
Her grandfather Pete said the "fun-loving" 23-year-old was a "precious part" of the family.
West Mercia Police said they were no longer treating her death as murder.
An initial post-mortem examination proved inconclusive and further tests are being carried out.
Three people arrested on suspicion of obstructing a coroner have been released on police bail until 6 March.
The Excellence in Headship programme aims to help school leaders "improve critical self-awareness, leadership of learning, lead system change and organisational effectiveness".
Education Secretary John Swinney made the announcement in Edinburgh.
The government later announced plans for the expansion of early learning entitlement in a Holyrood statement.
Mr Swinney also announced a £3m partnership with the Hunter Foundation for a series of leadership academies.
Launching the fund at Queen Margaret University, the deputy first minister said: "Effective school leadership is key to the success of schools. As a result, it is vital we invest in our head teachers and support them to deliver superb schooling for children in Scotland.
"I am delighted to announce that Excellence in Headship is now open for recruitment, backed by £1.6m of Scottish government funding over the next four years.
"In addition, the Scottish government, in partnership with the Hunter Foundation, will support leadership academies delivered by Columba 1400 which will benefit 320 head teachers in its first year.
"The head teacher role is challenging but hugely rewarding and I want to support teachers to take the step to headship while also committing to supporting head teachers already in post."
Sir Tom Hunter confirmed his foundation would invest £1m over the next four years, alongside £2m from the government, towards the leadership academies.
He said: "Education is the enabler, the leveller of playing fields, but to deliver that we need great leadership in our schools.
"The pace of change in the world of work is an incredible challenge for our school leaders and teachers - 65% of our young people joining primary school this year will go to jobs that don't even exist today.
"So, rightly, we need to invest more in supporting our school leaders and that's why we are delighted to be investing £1m alongside the Scottish government's £2m into world-class school leadership.
"In addition, the Hunter Foundation intends to build a world-class alumni programme for educational leaders across Scotland to enhance and build upon the excellence that Columba 1400 will deliver in leadership."
In a later statement at Holyrood, early years minister Mark McDonald told MSPs that a 31-point action plan would be published as part of the delivery of a pledge to increase early learning and childcare entitlement to 1,140 hours per year.
Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) said the service was generally "performing positively" and delivering value for money.
But charity, Victim Support Wales, said it was "not meeting its obligations".
CPS Wales said it was "working hard" to ensure communication with victims was of a "high standard".
The report, published on Wednesday, found victims of crime or their bereaved relatives often had no information about the discontinuance of court proceedings or pleas.
Victim communication letters were not sent out in more than 45.5% of cases and only sent out in a "timely manner" in 50% of cases.
There was also a " lack of empathy" in some letters and they were sometimes sent out with the wrong information on outcomes.
Lucy Hastings, director at Victim Support, said: "Poor communication can make victims feel forgotten and not treating them with the respect they deserve may increase their distress and make it harder for them to move beyond their experience of crime."
CPS Wales was rated "excellent" for managing resources, "good" for managing performance, "fair" for the effectiveness of its joint working, with an overall score of "good" for its governance and value for money.
It was rated as "fair" for its compliance with disclosure requirements and casework reviews and decisions, "good" rating for case preparation and progression, "poor" for communicating with victims, with a "fair" overall rating for casework quality and service delivery for users.
The report found conviction rates in magistrates' courts was "noticeably better" than the national average - 87.2% versus 83.8% - and "slightly" better in the crown court - 79.9% compared to 79.1%.
However, the inspectorate said its crown court court performance was "declining" in contested cases, with those relating to rape and serious sexual offences a "cause for concern".
HMCPSI examined 120 magistrates' courts and crown court files finalised between September 2015 and March 2016, surveyed staff and got feedback from witnesses, victims and partner agencies.
They found over half the police files were "not of sufficient quality" but "little or no challenge or feedback" was provided to forces.
However, CPS Wales was found to have delivered value for money - in the 12 months to December 2015, it spent £430 per case while the national average was £602.
HMCPSI chief inspector of Kevin McGinty said while it was a "positive report overall", ensuring high-quality and timely communication with victims was "essential".
Ed Beltrami, chief crown prosecutor for CPS Wales, said: "We recognise the need to provide an excellent service to victims and witnesses and we are already working hard to ensure that the quality of our communications with victims and witnesses is of a high standard and meets individual needs.
"This includes increasing the resources available within our victim liaison unit, implementing new arrangements for speaking with witnesses at court, on-going training for prosecutors and gathering feedback from victims."
His publicist Dick Guttman confirmed the death, saying: "We are overcome with sadness."
Landau won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1995 for portraying the horror movie star Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood.
He died on Saturday in Los Angeles of "unexpected complications" following a hospital visit.
Landau was born in New York and started out as a cartoonist for the New York Daily News before moving to theatre and then cinema acting.
He featured in the Alfred Hitchcock film North by Northwest and played a commander in Space: 1999 and Geppetto in a live-action version of The Adventures of Pinocchio.
But he turned down the role of Mr Spock in Star Trek, a role that went to his friend Leonard Nimoy instead.
And Nimoy later replaced Landau on Mission: Impossible when the latter left following a dispute over pay.
Many in Hollywood hit social media to pay tribute, including Star Trek actor William Shatner, who played the role of James T. Kirk.
Brent Spiner, best known for his portrayal of Lieutenant Commander Data in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, tweeted: "Great actor, Martin Landau leaves us at age 89. So glad the part of Lugosi came to him. He crushed it. RIP."
Stranger Things actor David Harbour wrote: "The great Martin Landau has died. Long time member of the actor's studio and brilliant craftsman in our tradition. I will miss his work."
Ralph Macchio, who played Daniel LaRusso in the Karate Kid series, praised Landau's performance in the 1989 comedy drama Crimes and Misdemeanours.
The film was written, directed by and co-starred Woody Allen and gave Landau his second Oscar nomination for best actor in a supporting role.

Mr Goldsmith quit as a Conservative MP in protest at the government's backing for a third Heathrow runway and will contest the poll as an independent.
The Conservatives and UKIP have said they are not fielding candidates.
Ms Olney said overturning Mr Goldsmith's 23,015 majority was "incredibly doable" for her party.
The Lib Dems, who held the south-west London seat until 2010, finished second in the 2015 general election.
Mr Goldsmith has said he wants the vote, on 1 December, to be a referendum on the government's decision to back a third runway.
But Ms Olney, who also opposes Heathrow expansion, told Sky News Brexit - which Mr Goldsmith backed, unlike most Richmond voters - would "obviously" emerge as another campaign issue.
The 39-year-old accountant, who had already been lined up to contest the next general election for the party, was confirmed as its by-election candidate at a party meeting on Sunday.
Labour will field a candidate, despite calls from some of its MPs for it to stand aside to maximise the chances of Mr Goldsmith being defeated, with applications closing on Monday.
Despite their differences on Heathrow, the Conservatives are not standing against their former MP, describing him as a "hard-working champion" for the area.
But the party's decision was criticised by one of its MPs, Alec Shelbrooke, who told Sky News: "I have said quite openly that I think it's a big mistake the Conservative Party is not putting forward a candidate.
"Let's be clear: Our majority will be cut from 12 to 10. Zac Goldsmith does not cut it to 11, it cuts it to 10 because he will be an opposition MP.
"The Conservative Party will lose the Richmond by-election because we do not have a candidate and I think that is wrong."
Hector Astudillo Flores said a disturbance occurred at the traditional coming-of-age party in Cundancito, in the west of the region.
After the shooting, authorities tried to reach the area but were met by gunfire, he said.
Two years ago, 43 students disappeared in Guerrero, which is one of Mexico's most violent states.
Figures compiled by the La Jornada newspaper found that at least 324 people were murdered in Guerrero between October and December last year, most related to the drug trade.
Mr Astudillo, who said details of the case would be passed to Mexico's attorney general, did not say whether arrests were made in Cundancito.
"What I've said so far is only the tip of the iceberg" is the headline in the Belfast Telegraph.
The paper has an exclusive interview with the former DUP minister Jonathan Bell.
He was suspended from the party after he broke ranks to make allegations about the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.
Mr Bell says he will hand over emails and recordings to the judge leading the public inquiry and warned there is "much, much more to come".
Staying on a political theme and some of the papers feature more reptilian jibes in the form of a photograph.

On a more inclusive note... and there is widespread coverage of Liam Neeson's support for integrated education.
The Northern-Irish born actor has given his backing for a new campaign to encourage more schools to become integrated.
The Hollywood star has released an online video message as part of a new initiative 'Integrate My School - I'm In'.
"We look to our children for the future, so why do we continue to educate them apart: different religions, different backgrounds, different schools?, the News Letter reports.
In an opinion piece in the Belfast Telegraph, Baroness May Blood says the campaign could "mark the start of a very exciting period of change in education and in society as a whole".
And staying on the Holywood theme and it's home to the new Presbyterian Moderator elect.
Rev Noble McNeely, of First Holywood Presbyterian Church in County Down, was nominated by 10 of the church's 19 presbyteries on Tuesday night.
His appointment features in all the papers with the Belfast Telegraph reporting that the new appointee is a Spurs fan who believes sport can be used to reach out to non-Christians.
Switching to a different geographical location and the News Letter reports that about 100 military veterans will march through Londonderry next month in protest against what the paper calls "the ongoing vindictive" criminal investigations into former soldiers.
Organised by Veterans for Justice, it is one of a number of planned protests across Northern Ireland in the months ahead.
The paper's leader gives its backing for the move, describing it as a "welcome development".
A fight at a County Tyrone school is carried by some of the papers.
The Irish News reports that "petrified" pupils were confined to classrooms after a fight broke out in the canteen of Holy Cross College in Strabane at lunchtime.
Parents spoke to the paper of their shock while the school principal Maria Doherty said police had been called in a "supportive role".
Elsewhere and the Daily Mirror says some staff at the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine are feeling poorly after they were scammed out of thousands of pounds by a bogus company offering financial advice.
The Daily Mirror says more than 40 workers lost between £400 and £800 by a two-man team who set up in the hospital's canteen and offered staff help to claim back tax from HMRC.
The paper reports that a fraud investigation is under way and each of the hospital trusts have been put on alert in case the fraudsters strike again.
The paper also carries the story of a County Armagh pupil who is preparing to lift-off on the space adventure of a lifetime.
Maciej Mareh Zych, from Southern Regional College in Armagh, has won a place at the United Space School in Houston, Texas.
He will spent two weeks with 50 students from 25 different nations.
Eighty non-Welsh speaking participants were taught Welsh words before either a period of wake or sleep.
Those who slept showed an increased ability to learn the words, and the effect was greatest in those who placed personal value on the language.
This suggests that memories perceived as important undergo preferential treatment by the brain during sleep.
While it has long been established that sleep helps the consolidation of memories, this is the first study to show that the effect is influenced by how much you care about the memory.
The findings were discussed on Friday at the British Science Festival and are soon to be published in the Journal of Sleep Research.
"The mere fact that your beliefs about something seem to effect how the brain processes things during the night is really quite astounding," said Prof Mark Blagrove from Swansea University, who conducted the research with colleague Elaine van Rijn.
The test was conducted on native English-speaking university students, recently arrived in Wales and not having previously lived in the country.
Using a tablet computer app, the participants were presented with 28 Welsh and Breton translations of English words.
The app tested immediate recall of the words and then how many were remembered 12 hours later, after either no sleep or at least 6 hours' sleep.
Participants were also asked to rate how much they valued the Welsh language.
For the sleep group only, there was a significant correlation between the value placed on the Welsh language and the number of Welsh words recalled.
According to Prof Blagrove and Ms van Rijn, this suggests that anything we have experienced is more likely to be consolidated in our sleep, if it is something we value personally.
The study was conducted in the Swansea sleep lab, where the team also studies the occurrence and the effects of dreams.
Hamilton rarely led Vettel by more than two seconds in a tense battle until a late safety car added further jeopardy.
As all the drivers pitted, Ferrari put the fastest ultra-soft tyres on Vettel while Mercedes put Hamilton on softs.
But after fending off an attack by the German on the restart, Hamilton took back control and led to the flag.
Hamilton had not been happy with the decision to bring out the safety car, after a collision between the two Force India drivers on the run down the hill from La Source to Eau Rouge.
He said it was "a BS call from the stewards", clearly worried that with the extra grip from the ultra-soft tyres, Vettel would have an advantage.
For a few seconds after the restart, Hamilton appeared to be in trouble, as Vettel sat right behind him through Eau Rouge and appeared to be lining up to pass the Mercedes up the long Kemmel straight.
But Hamilton - taking part in his 200th race - used all the power advantage of his Mercedes to fend him off and he reeled off two consecutive fastest laps to pull 1.4 seconds clear and give himself a more comfortable margin.
The race settled back into the pattern that had been set soon after the start.
Hamilton was in front, Vettel was more than capable of staying right with him, but in evenly matched cars could not get close enough to attack.
In many ways, the race was a microcosm of the season.
The Mercedes and Ferrari have very different characteristics, excelling in different parts of individual circuits and the advantage swinging one way or another from race to race.
But so tight is the performance between them in general that victories hinge on small twists of fate or tiny details.
In this case, Mercedes' advantage with their extra engine boost in qualifying, allied to a stellar lap from Hamilton, put the the Englishman on pole. Vettel, equally impressive in qualifying, could manage only second.

On the first lap, just as after the restart, Vettel challenged out of Eau Rouge and towards Les Combes, but Hamilton fended him off, laying the foundations for a crucial win.
Hamilton becomes the first man to win five races this season, with Vettel on four.
Had the Ferrari driver won, Hamilton would have slipped to 21 points adrift, and with Singapore, where Mercedes expect the red cars to dominate, just two races away, it could have been a tough ask to close that.
But now with seven points in it, and Monza next weekend, another race Hamilton has a strong chance to win, the fight remains as finely poised as ever.
The race also further underlined the impression of this being a two-horse race.
Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas was only 19 points behind him before it, but the Finn finished fifth and slipped to 34 points behind and 41 off the lead.
Bottas had been cruising to third but was passed on either side by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen at the restart after the safety car and could not make up the ground he lost by running wide at Les Combes as they swept on either side of him.
Raikkonen recovered well after a 10-second stop-go penalty for not slowing for yellow caution flags, while Ricciardo's podium was some consolation for Red Bull after yet another retirement for his team-mate Max Verstappen.
The Dutchman managed only eight laps before his Renault engine failed, sending him into retirement for the sixth time in 12 races.
There will recriminations at Force India after the crash between their two cars on lap 28, not the first time Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon have crossed swords this season.
Ocon was trying to pass Perez and had a run on him out of La Source, but as he closed on the Mexican down the hill, Perez squeezed the Frenchman towards the inside wall
The two cars touched, Ocon's front wing being damaged and Perez suffering a puncture.
The incident followed Ocon questioning why Perez had been allowed to pit first, against convention, a few laps beforehand, despite Ocon being ahead.
The two had had a close call at Les Combes on the previous lap - as well as banging wheels at the starts of the race - before the controversial incident at the start of the next lap.
The two cars collided in Baku four races ago, where Ocon was arguably more at fault. This time it was more at Perez's instigation.
But the bosses will be more concerned about their drivers' magnetic attraction for each other costing them points. They were both warned after Baku that collisions were unacceptable for exactly that reason and the partnership is looking increasingly untenable.
F1 moves on quickly to another historic track at Monza in Italy next weekend. Hamilton could do with another win to consolidate his position before the seemingly inevitable Vettel victory that is coming at Singapore two weeks after that.
"It has been a strong weekend for myself and the team," said Hamilton. "Really grateful for all the hard work.
"Vettel did a great race, he was very consistently throughout and it was fun to be racing against Sebastian at his best and the car at his best, we were within half a tenth every lap and that is what racing is about.
"They were able to keep up so I think they had better pace but fortunately I was just about able to stay ahead."
Vettel said: "It was good fun, it was really intense. I was waiting for him to make a mistake, he didn't.
"He was waiting for me to, I didn't. The restart is maybe why I am not entirely happy. I was on the outside and nowhere to go. We had good pace compared to Silverstone - I'm looking forward to our home race."

Mr Trump shocked party members on Tuesday when he refused to endorse Mr Ryan and Senator John McCain in their campaigns for re-election in November.
Mr Ryan, the party's highest-ranking elected official, had himself long delayed endorsing Mr Trump.
"I support and endorse our Speaker... Paul Ryan," Mr Trump said on Friday.
"We need unity - we have to win this election," Mr Trump said during a campaign stop in Green Bay, Wisconsin - Mr Ryan's home state.
While they might "disagree on a couple of things", they agreed on a lot as well, he added.
In his earlier interview for the Washington Post, Mr Trump had said he was "just not quite there yet" when asked if he would endorse Mr Ryan and Arizona Sen McCain.
It was the same phrase used by Mr Ryan before he finally endorsed the Republican presidential candidate.
Mr Ryan and San McCain had both criticised Mr Trump's attacks on the bereaved parents of a US Muslim soldier killed in Iraq.
The soldier, Humayun Khan, was killed by a car bomb in 2004 in Iraq at the age of 27.
Donald Trump is drawing tens of thousands to his rallies. While this may be irrelevant in a national electorate that numbers in the hundreds of millions, the adulation of crowds is catnip to even the most jaded of candidates.
Then there's the torrent of money that Mr Trump has unleashed - more than $80m (£61m) in July, thanks to a flood of small-donor contributions. Presidential hopefuls with enthusiastic audiences and campaign coffers full of cash aren't prone to humble exits.
Ever since Mr Trump descended that golden escalator to announce his candidacy last July, his campaign has been a roller-coaster ride for the Republican establishment, alternating between reluctant acceptance and sky-is-falling hysteria.
This week has marked one of the more pronounced troughs in this journey, but the general election sprint is only just beginning. There may still be peaks of resigned accommodation ahead. If Mr Trump can get back on message with a few carefully modulated speeches and at least a handful of news cycles without outrageous statements, the polls could again narrow to within a more typical partisan split. There's nothing the media like more than a good candidate comeback story.

David Poole told Cardiff Crown Court he trapped Adnan Khalid, 27, who was charged with grooming a 14-year-old.
Mr Poole, 38, was accused of giving misleading evidence in the trial of Mr Khalid, of Porth, Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Judge Thomas Crowther QC entered a formal not guilty verdict and criticised the paedophile hunting group for the trial collapsing.
Mr Poole, from Hereford, founded the group H Division and set up a fake profile on dating website Plenty of Fish claiming to be a 14-year-old called Chloe.
He arranged to meet Mr Khalid in Cardiff after messaging him on Whatsapp and filmed the sting.
Mr Khalid denied the offence and told police he believed he was speaking to a woman aged over 18.
Mr Poole arrived four hours late to the trial and then said he had passed photo evidence to the police, before admitting this was not true.
Judge Crowther said his answer was "at best inaccurate and at worst a lie".
He discharged the jury, saying: "This case underlines why criminal investigations should be conducted carefully, meticulously and by those who are trained and qualified to do so.
"When you are talking about a conviction, especially a sexual offence conviction, a high degree of reliability is needed in the evidence.
"The prosecution have taken the view that you could not find that degree of reliability in Mr Poole's evidence."
During the trial, Mr Poole said this was one of the group's "first stings" and was "a learning curve".
Speaking after the court case, a NSPCC Wales spokesman said online abuse and grooming was "one of the biggest child protection challenges we face".
"While we have every sympathy for people concerned about suspected abusers, we believe that identifying offenders and investigating crimes is best left to the police," he said.
"When members of the public take the law into their own hands it can run the risk of driving offenders underground, jeopardise on-going police work and the legal process or result in innocent people being harassed - all of which may put more children at risk."
A faulty part made by Japan's Takata has been linked to eight deaths and multiple injuries. It has prompted the largest recall in US history.
Senator John Thune said the size of the Takata recall was causing confusion and delays in replacing the airbags.
The US safety agency said it had set up a dedicated website.
However Mark Rosekind, administrator at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), said that the agency was underfunded and did not have enough staff or the right technology.
"You've got too many complaints and not enough people," he said. "It's just overwhelming."
He added that the NHTSA had submitted a request for extra funding.
In the US, 34 million cars have been recalled. Globally, the number of vehicles affected is thought to be 53 million.
Questioned on the safety of its airbags today, the Japanese car company said it had changed its design and was no longer using an inflator shaped like a batwing which was involved in the eight fatal accidents.
"We feel very confident in the inflators we are making today," said Kevin Kennedy, from Takata North America.
"We will continue to do everything we can to ensure uncompromised safety for our customers and the success of the recall efforts," he added.
Mr Kennedy also said he would provide an answer to the question of whether to set up a victim compensation fund, as GM has done, within two weeks.
The government made the announcement after the OAS voted to hold an meeting of foreign ministers to discuss the spiralling crisis in Venezuela.
Neighbours have expressed concern at mounting unrest in the country.
Violent protests against the government continued in the capital Caracas on Wednesday. One protester was killed.
He was hit by a tear gas canister during clashes with police.
Nearly 30 people have been killed since the wave of protests against President Nicolas Maduro began last month.
The Venezuelan government has accused the US trying to undermine Mr Maduro's Socialist Party.
On Wednesday, Ms Rodriguez said the protests were part of an organised effort to defeat Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution.
"Tomorrow [Thursday] we will present a letter of complaint to the OAS and we will begin a process that will take 24 months," she announced in a televised statement.
BBC Latin America correspondent Will Grant says the move comes as little surprise.
Tensions in the organisation - and among Venezuela's neighbours - have grown over what is seen by several member states as the government's disregard for democracy amid mounting unrest.
Ms Rodriguez accused the OAS of having double standards by concentrating on what was happening in her country while ignoring alleged democracy violations in Brazil.
President Maduro has often strongly denounced the grouping.
Venezuela, an oil-rich nation, is going through a serious economic crisis.
Inflation is expected to reach 700% this year, according to the International Monetary Fund, and there is shortage of many basic goods, including medicines.
The opposition blames the socialist policies of Mr Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, for the economic meltdown.
But the government says the country is suffering from the effects of economic sabotage carried out by the business elite.
The latest series of protests began after the Supreme Court took over powers from the opposition-controlled National Assembly on 29 March.
It reversed its decision three days later, but opposition protesters were already on the streets in large numbers, seizing the opportunity to strike against Mr Maduro's government.
The opposition wants early elections and the release of politicians arrested since the president took office in 2013.
Thousands of his supporters held a counter-rally in Caracas on Wednesday.
Dominic Newton, 21, was a third year student at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
BBC Wales understands he became unwell during the Owls' match at the Townhill campus on Monday evening.
Mr Newton, from the Bristol area, was described as a "big part of university life".
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesman said they were called to reports of a medical emergency at about 21:05 BST on Monday.
"A rapid response vehicle and two emergency ambulances attended the scene and an adult male was taken to Morriston Hospital in Swansea in a critical condition," he said.
South Wales Police said Mr Newton died at the hospital and the death was not suspicious.
A university spokeswoman said it was "saddened" by the news.
She added: "We would like to remind our students and staff that our professional student services team is available to offer support in confidence."
The university's Swansea campus students' union has paid tribute on Facebook saying: "Dom was a big part of university life in Swansea and will be sorely missed."
Improvised weapons such as sharpened cutlery had been used during fights at Cookham Wood in Rochester, they found.
An unannounced inspection found an increase in the number of boys needing hospital treatment for head injuries.
Prison officials said they had taken measures to improve safety and behaviour since the inspection.
HM Inspectorate of Prisons said that at the time of the inspection in May, Cookham Wood held 166 boys, most aged 16 and 17.
About 10% of the boys had been convicted of or charged with murder or manslaughter.
The number of violent incidents was very high and in the six months leading up to March 2015 there had been 61 assaults and 92 fights, some of which were very serious.
Assaults on staff had almost doubled since the last inspection with 21 in the preceding six months, some resulting in serious injury.
However, the inspectors found levels of self-harm had fallen and health care had improved.
Chief inspector of prisons Nick Hardwick said Cookham Wood reflected systemic problems across young offenders institutions.
"The welcome fall in the number of children in custody means that those who remain represent a more concentrated mix of very challenging young people, held in a smaller number of establishments that are increasingly unsuitable to meet their needs, and cared for by a staff group beset by shortages and a lack of training for their complex and demanding role," he said.
"A much wider political and policy response is needed if we are to fulfil our responsibilities to care for these, our most damaged children, safely and help them to grow into adults who are valued, not feared."
Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service, said: "Cookham Wood manages an increasingly complex group of boys.
"Since the inspection, staff numbers have increased; a new education contract has been introduced; staff have been trained in new restraint techniques and safeguarding measures have been strengthened, all of which have had a positive impact on safety and behaviour.
"Tackling violence and providing a safe environment remains the governor's biggest challenge and top priority and work will continue to improve standards even further."
The man was taken to hospital along with a woman after falling ill at the house in Lodge Road, Whistley Green, just after 08:00 GMT on Thursday.
Police said the 60-year-old died in the early hours. The woman remains in hospital in a stable condition.
British Gas and the Health and Safety Executive are carrying out an investigation at the property.
Another woman and a child were taken to hospital as a precaution, but were later discharged.
Police are not treating the death as suspicious.
Package holidays, for instance, were up 0.6% between April and May, compared with a fall of 0.4% a year ago.
The fall in the pound since last year's Brexit vote is making itself felt.
Imported goods, particularly, have become more expensive. The cost of games - especially computer games - toys and hobbies shot up by 2.7%.
Prices are also on the rise for clothing, up 0.6% compared with a fall of 0.3% a year ago, with children's clothing seeing the biggest increase.
The ONS also reported higher prices for furniture and household goods.
Shoppers have been used to falling prices in the supermarket aisles in recent years but this trend is now at an end.
Sugar, jams, chocolate, syrups and confectionary all contributed to the latest rise in this category.
With inflation now at its highest rate in nearly four years, the impact of past falls in sterling continue to feed through to households, according to Richard Lim, chief executive of Retail Economics: "Food inflation rose by 2.5% according to the latest data, the fastest since 2013. Given the least affluent households spend around 17% of their expenditure on food and drink, rising prices will have a significant impact on their discretionary spending power going forward.
"What's more, real earnings are already shrinking. With inflation expected to accelerate further in the coming months, the backdrop for retailers looks set to become even more challenging."
Electricity bills jumped by 4% and gas bills were also slightly up, reflecting price hikes from some of the big six energy suppliers.
But travel costs were down. Air fares usually go down after Easter, one of the peak holiday periods. Because Easter came later this year, air fares fell back in May, which was a big contributor to the downward effect.
And the prices at the pump also dropped between April and May this year, bringing some relief, at least, to consumers.
Leanne Wood said securing an extra £1.2bn a year from Westminster, on top of the Welsh government's £15bn annual budget, was a priority for Plaid.
Plaid's spring conference was told the party had reached an "understanding" with the SNP over giving Wales the same budget deal as Scotland.
But the SNP said "we wish Plaid well with their campaigning for Wales".
Ms Wood told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales: "We share an awful lot of common ground with the SNP.
"But there are some areas that we don't share common ground, and this is one because their financial situation is already settled.
"But for Plaid Cymru an additional £1.2bn into the Welsh government coffers could enable us to stop future cuts and also it could enable us to invest in our economy, in job creation, and then of course what's important is to have partial tax-raising powers so we are able to realise the benefit of that expenditure on jobs."
Plaid and the SNP say they will work with the Greens in an "anti-austerity alliance" if there is a minority Labour government after the general election.
In a hung parliament, Plaid would call for Wales to get the same level of funding as Scotland.
The size of the annual budgets of both countries' devolved governments is calculated using the Barnett formula.
The UK government and Labour vowed to maintain the formula during the Scottish independence referendum.
Ms Wood said that vow benefited Scotland, but "locked in the disadvantage for Wales".
On Saturday, Plaid general election campaign co-ordinator Lord Wigley told the party's conference in Caernarfon: "I'm pleased to tell the conference that we have an understanding from our friends in the SNP that they too will support giving Wales the same budget settlement as Scotland."
But an SNP spokesman said: "We believe Scotland should get the powers we were promised in the referendum campaign and control of our own resources, and we wish Plaid well with their campaigning for Wales."
It is the sixth Labour-led council not to put up basic bills, and retracts indications by the leader in December that a 3% rise was likely.
However, householders who live in properties in Band E to H will still face a rise after MSPs agreed changes.
It means a Band H property will go up by £523.35.
So far six councils - all with Labour leaders - have voluntarily decided not to raise the basic rate of council tax although this adds to the pressure on their budgets.
They are:
Seven more councils are due to confirm their plans on the council tax later today including Stirling, Dundee, East Dunbartonshire and North Lanarkshire.
This is the first time since 2007 that councils have been able to raise council tax without losing government funding. They have the power to raise basic bills by up to 3%.
Aberdeenshire and Perth and Kinross councils both opted for rises of less than 3%.
West Dunbartonshire Council leader Martin Rooney said: "This budget will protect our residents from the burden of a council tax rise being introduced in many councils across Scotland.
"It also transforms our communities by investing in a range of projects in local areas to ensure our residents directly benefit.
"We know the value of play and sport and we want to ensure every community in West Dunbartonshire has facilities that support these activities."
The council said it would use £2,032,000 of its free reserves to fund the freeze in the council tax, invest £772,000 to enhance services, and close the identified £421,000 gap in the council budget.
Like all councils, West Dunbartonshire has cash reserves to protect the organisation from unexpected costs such as severe weather damage.
However, any council which voluntarily freezes the council tax leaves itself open to criticism.
Anti-austerity campaigners might argue any council which voluntarily foregoes income is not doing all it can to mitigate and minimise cuts.
Meanwhile, supporters of the Scottish government may argue that a council which chooses not to put up council tax can no longer complain about the amount of government cash it is receiving.
Council organisation Cosla claimed councils across Scotland faced about £200m of cuts and savings.
The Scottish government agreed to give councils £160m more than it had originally intended to secure support from the Greens for its budget.
The newspaper says Mr Cosby made the deposition 10 years ago. A lawsuit was lodged by a former university worker in Philadelphia who claimed he drugged and molested her.
Mr Cosby, now 78, is facing a series of sexual assault accusations.
He has denied the claims.
Court papers unsealed earlier this month showed that he admitted giving drugs to women with the aim of having sex with them.
The New York Times says it has obtained the deposition on which those court papers were based, in which more details are given.
Mr Cosby was questioned for four days in 2005 and 2006 in a Philadelphia hotel, and the deposition of close to 1,000 pages was formed.
The case was brought by Andrea Constand, a former employee of Temple University - the Philadelphia college with which Mr Cosby was once closely associated.
After Mr Cosby intiated what he called a mentoring relationship, Ms Constand says he then gave her a powerful drug and molested her.
Mr Cosby says he gave her only the over-the-counter antihistamine drug Benadryl.
After Ms Constand became upset and returned to her native Canada, Mr Cosby offered to pay for her further education.
"My wife would not know it was because Andrea and I had had sex and that Andrea was now very, very upset and that she decided that she would like to go to school," the New York Times quotes Mr Cosby as saying in the deposition.
He is also reported as saying he was skilled in reading women's reactions: "I think I'm a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them."
Mr Cosby also admits paying another woman he met in 1976 and to obtaining sedatives with the aim of giving them to women to have sex with him.
And, still in the deposition, he says he asked a model about the cancer her late father suffered with the purpose of having sex with her.
Best known as Dr Cliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show in 1984-92, the comedian is facing a number of allegations dating back to the 1960s.
Most of the claims of sexual assault are barred by statutes of limitations. They restrict the length of time in which legal actions can be taken after an alleged crime has been committed.
The accusations, which Mr Cosby has described as "fantastical" and "uncorroborated", have led to some of his stand-up shows being called off and the cancellation of some TV projects.
Jason Walsh, from Limavady, died shortly before 18:15 BST on Thursday after being struck on the Glenhead Road.
The crash happened between Ballynarrig Road and Baranailt Road.
A 41-year-old man was arrested but later released on bail pending further enquiries.
Leader David Hodge said unless it got more money from government it could not afford to guarantee places from 2015.
He said the current shortfall would mean borrowing £200m over five years.
The Department for Education (DoE) said Surrey will have received £104m for new places between 2011-2015.
Mr Hodge made his announcement just before authorities across England found how much money they would get from the government to spend on local services next year.
He said: "We are facing a crisis with rising demand for places and regrettably the government - despite repeated requests - has failed to guarantee it will provide us with the necessary funding to meet this need.
"So far, in the absence of a fair funding settlement for the 13,000 extra school places we need over the next five years we have been forced to borrow tens of millions of pounds to fund this expansion.
"That cannot continue. It would leave us with having to borrow well over £200m on behalf of the Surrey taxpayer. Money which would not be paid off for forty years."
It would seem that the frustration has finally boiled over.
This is not the first time that David Hodge has expressed concern about the lack of school places in Surrey.
In October he said that, although the county council had found a place for every child this year, they had "made it by the skin of our teeth".
The problem has been getting worse, largely due to an unanticipated rise in the birth rate in Surrey over the past decade.
Opposition councillors have criticised "failures' in forecasting" and the planning for schools.
The Conservatives who control the authority have been getting more and more frustrated over what they see as a lack of funding from the government.
They argue that Surrey contributes more in tax than any region outside the City of London, but gets less money each year than the average county council.
Mr Hodge previously said that in September 2014 the council managed to provide an additional 4,100 spaces by "the skin of its teeth".
A DoE spokesman said: "We are giving Surrey County Council £104m from 2011-2015 to spend on new places - compared to just £24m by the previous government over an equivalent period."
Surrey County Council was also receiving a further £60million to spend on new school places in 2015-17, according to the government.
The spokesman said two free schools had been opened in the county, with another one also due in September, which would provide more than 1,800 extra places.
Sylvester Koroma was hit in the stomach in Birmingham in August 2013 and died in hospital a week later.
Police said his friends had "deserted him in his death".
Appealing for people to come forward and speak to West Midlands Police, his mother, Eunice Koroma, said the last year had been "hell".
Mr Koroma, a father-of-two from the Highfields area, travelled to Birmingham with friends on 10 August last year.
The nightclub had been hosting an event called Circoloco, attended by 4,000 people. The second day was cancelled after the shooting.
Ms Koroma said it had been heartbreaking not knowing who killed her son.
"All of us miss him greatly, especially his sons," she said.
"It's one year on now so I would ask for people to search their hearts, and if they have a conscience, to do the right thing and speak to the police."
Officers previously said they still had no motive for Mr Koroma's death.
Det Ch Insp Sab Johal, from West Midlands Police, said Mr Koroma had been "deserted" by his closest friends.
They had declined to give witness statements to police on the night but he said officers would keep returning to Leicester until they had answers.
"This investigation is not going to go away," he said. "People who know the answers are from this city, and it is those people, who were happy to be with him in his life that have deserted him in his death."
Billy Monger, 17, was airlifted to hospital after crashing with another car on the track mid-race on 16 April.
From hospital, he posted on Facebook that Bonny "gave me the will to keep fighting" and thanked everyone for their "love and generosity".
A campaign to raise money for his future has raised more than £750,000.
Billy, from Charlwood in Surrey, wrote the support he had received from fellow motor racers, fans, and everyone has been "awesome and truly inspirational".
"Your kind words have given me and my family the strength to get through this past week," he posted from the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
The Formula 4 driver also said that without emergency crews at the Leicestershire track and medical staff "I wouldn't be here today".
"I will always thank you all for saving my life," he said.
"The one true hero of this tragic event has been my sister, Bonny who gave me the will to keep fighting.
"A value that I will continue to hold now... and for the rest of my life."
The Just Giving page was set up by Steven Hunter, head of Billy's team Derbyshire-based JHR Developments, to help the 17-year-old "return to a full and active life".
The donations came in swiftly, including one from Formula 1 driver Jenson Button and F1 driver Max Verstappen, who both donated £15,000.
Billy's F4 former rival Devlin DeFrancesco made a donation of £26,000.
Hundreds of people have sent messages of support to the teenager and a hashtag, #billywhizz, has been widely shared on social media.
Billy was competing in the Formula 4 British Championship, a motor racing series which features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers.

L/Cpl Edward Maher, L/Cpl Craig Roberts and Cpl James Dunsby died as a result of neglect on a 16-mile march in 2013.
Solicitors told a parliamentary inquiry a lack of accountability by the Ministry of Defence for accidents had resulted in a "blasé culture".
The MoD said improvements had been made and more may follow.
It is also carrying out its own investigations into the three deaths on one of 2013's hottest days.
Hilary Meredith Solicitors, which specialises in representing members of the armed forces, submitted evidence as the defence sub-committee examines health and safety in military training and exercises.
MPs are looking into whether or not the 125 military deaths in the past 15 years "indicate any systemic failings in the policies and practices of the MoD and the armed forces".
The solicitors' firm said: "Historically the MoD has enjoyed no accountability or ownership for accidents resulting in injury or death on manoeuvres or whilst practising for war.
"A lack of intervention in the armed forces, (for example from the Health and Safety Executive) and Crown censorship has resulted in a blasé culture towards accidents and attrition rates.
It added: "Selection events needs to remain realistic to maintain an effective military force but not at the risk of three deaths in one event as in Brecon. Mistakes made in the Brecon Beacons selection event were so extreme they verged on a reckless disregard to life.
"Risk assessments were so absent on that day as to amount to a criminally reckless regard for life. The effects of Brecon were far-reached with three bereaved families, adverse publicity and irreparable damage to MoD."
Other contributors to the inquiry included L/Cpl Maher's parents, Edward and Marie.
They wrote: "The SAS appears to be currently exempt from the broader legal and financial penalties that regulate every other organisation in the UK.
"Together with a culture that is indifferent to injury and death, this has resulted in an organisation in which there is no imperative to behave responsively and legally nor to learn from its mistakes."
The MoD said it aimed to ensure that all deaths "are properly investigated, lessons identified and acted upon".
The MPs' inquiry has now stopped taking written evidence, but no date has yet been set for when its investigation will end.
The market research firm says 4% fewer handsets were sold in the months of April, May and June compared with the same period in 2014.
It suggests the market has "reached saturation" - meaning about half the population owns a smartphone and is not upgrading on an annual basis.
However, not all manufacturers experienced a drop.
Samsung's sales were 49% lower - despite the launch of its Galaxy S6 models- and Lenovo also experienced a big fall-off in demand.
But Apple's sales rose 68%, even though it did not have new phones out.
Huawei took the top spot in its home country with a 46% growth in sales.
Gartner research director Anshul Gupta said: "Samsung is down significantly, not just in China, but in other markets as well.
"And the Chinese players have taken a significant lead in their home market."
Samsung's figures will have been affected by problems it had making the S6 Edge's curved screen, which meant the firm could not meet demand.
But Mr Gupta stressed that the bigger picture was that overall sales were down for the first time in the country.
That, he said, was something that might concern all manufacturers, bearing in mind China accounted for about 30% of global sales, making it the world's biggest market.
"China has reached saturation. Its market is essentially driven by smartphone replacements rather than upgrades from feature phones, so they will follow an 18-month, 24-month, or whatever, replacement cycle."
Another research firm, Strategy Analytics, recently reported China's smartphone sales had eked out 3% growth in the April-to-June period - so, Gartner's headline finding is not undisputed.
But Strategy Analytics' own figure was still significantly down on the 29% growth it reported for the second quarter of 2014.
"The smartphone market in China has been slowing down for several quarters and a lot of the low-hanging fruit has been picked," the firm's executive director, Neil Mawston, told the BBC.
"Most people in major cities like Beijing already own a smartphone, and the penetration of smartphones across the general population is approaching 50% or more, which is a relatively high rate."
China's smartphone sales tend to be strongest in the first quarter, when people give presents to mark the Chinese New Year.
In addition, many of the highest-profile launches tend to happen in the last five months of the year, so many industry watchers may wish to see further data before accepting that the country's smartphone market is truly in retreat.
"The Chinese economy is also not as strong as it was, and the level of innovation from smartphone-makers is also taking a pause at the moment," added Mr Mawston.
A picture of the podium was posted on Twitter after Wiggle-Honda's Jolien d'Hoore won the Antwerp to Nijlen stage of the Flanders Diamond Tour.
Dutch racing cyclist and journalist Marijn de Vries described the scene as "an utter disgrace".
Lotto Cycling Cup organisers apologised but added they were not responsible.
In a series of tweets, they said plans had been made by local organisers and they found the podium "inappropriate".
The models were recruited by Hostessen Service No Limit, which - among other services - also offers striptease acts.
Its manager, who gave his name as Gerrid, told the BBC: "I don't understand what the problem is."
He laughed when it was put to him that some of the cyclists found the incident sexist, adding: "Sometimes during the race, women race with their shirts open."
He said he did not intend to apologise as "it's not our problem".
Johan Molineaux, the local organiser of the event, told the BBC he would not be using Hostessen Service No Limit again and planned to personally apologise to the competitors.
"For a lot of women it is damaged. For me it is a sad day," he said.
Molineaux explained he was elsewhere during the presentation and that the women were supposed to wear cycling shirts but took them off.
The UCI, world cycling's governing body said it had looked into the incident and had contacted the organisers, who apologised.
Defending champion D'Hoore, on her return from a six-week mid-season break, beat fellow Belgian Kelly Druyts in the penultimate race of the seven-stage competition.
The Women's Tour of Britain starts on Wednesday and speaking at the launch of the event, British cyclist Helen Wyman gave her views on the podium model issue.
"I think podium girls should be a thing of the past," she told BBC Sport.
"It's 2015. I'd much prefer to see the race sponsors on the podium, as it's their money that allow us to do what we do, and we'd prefer to see them rewarded."
The Cards took a lead their early dominance deserved when Terell Thomas headed in Fabio Saraiva's 21st-minute corner, with the ball taking a deflection on its way into the net.
The visitors could have extended their lead as they carved out three chances in the space of five minutes, Nathan Ralph firing an effort just wide of the post and then James Montgomery on his toes to keep out shots from Gozie Ugwu and Jamie Lucas, signed on loan from Bristol Rovers on Friday.
Gateshead made a bright start to the second half and equalised in the 52nd minute when Danny Johnson showed great strength to head a bouncing ball into the back of the net.
And with time running out, Wes York converted from close range a cross from substitute Mitch Brundle to ensure the Heed remain unbeaten in eight matches.

The X, X+ and XL will range in price from 89 euros (£74) to 109 euros.
Nokia's most recent suite of smartphones had used the Windows operating system. The announcement had been widely expected despite Microsoft detailing plans to buy Nokia's mobile division at the end of 2013.
Analysts have called the announcement a "perplexing strategic move".
The entry-level X model will feature a 4in (10.2cm) screen with 512MB Ram and a three-megapixel camera. The X+ will have 768MB Ram and a 4GB MicroSD card.
The top-end XL will have a 5in screen, a front-facing two-megapixel camera and a rear five-megapixel camera.
The X will go on sale immediately in several territories including Europe and Asia Pacific. The X+ and XL will launch in April.
Users who buy one of the X models will be able to use Microsoft's free cloud-storage system, OneDrive. The software giant's email software, Outlook, will also ship as standard on all models.
The messaging service BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) will be pre-installed on the phones as will social network Twitter, video app Vine and the game Plants vs. Zombies 2.
More than 1.1 billion devices running Android are expected to ship this year compared with 360 million using the Windows operating system, according to data from research analysts Gartner.
Microsoft agreed to buy Nokia's mobile phone business in a deal worth 5.4bn euros ($7.2bn; £4.6bn).
At the time, the company's then chief executive, Steve Ballmer, called the deal a "big, bold step forward", adding the company was in the process of transforming itself from one that "was known for software and PCs, to a company that focuses on devices and services".
Critics say Microsoft has been too slow to respond to the booming market for mobile devices.
Nokia was once a leader in mobile phones but has struggled in recent years.
The growth area for mobile phone companies is now in emerging markets, where low-cost Android models sell particularly well.
Analysts CCS Insight head of research Ben Wood said: "Nokia was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Non-participation in the low-cost smartphone market where Android is rampant leaves a lot of money on the table but turning to Android must have been a bitter pill to swallow.
"If you stand back, for a soon-to-be Microsoft-owned company to embrace Android is a perplexing strategic move.
"I believe it was a decision where Nokia felt it had few other options given Android's entry-level dominance in phones and apps, particularly in emerging markets," he added.
The deal between Microsoft and Nokia has not yet been finalised, and at a Microsoft press conference on Sunday the vice-president of operating systems for Windows, Joe Belfiore, was asked what he thought about Nokia's decision to launch an Android phone.
He replied: "Some things we're excited about, some things we're less excited about. Whatever they do, we're very supportive of them."
Mr Wood believes that despite Monday's announcement Nokia's primary focus remains its Windows phones.
"Given its looming ownership by Microsoft, it will be doing everything it can to get Microsoft to push Windows Phone down to the entry-level smartphone space and will be hoping it's flirtation with Android does not dilute this," he said.
Nokia's senior vice president Stephen Elop confirmed that the Lumia remains "our primary smartphone platform" and that the X range would be used as a "feeder system",

Rovers had the better of the first-half chances, Andy Cook and Lois Maynard going close early on before Jeff Hughes had a close-range effort well saved by Kyle Letheren in the closing stages.
The game swung in York's favour after Hughes was sent off for a challenge on Richard Brodie in the opening minutes of the second half but Tranmere threatened again when James Norwood headed the ball against the crossbar.
Justin Johnson fired well over for York in injury time as they failed to make their numerical advantage count.

Grey re-tells the events of James's 2011 original from the perspective of its antagonist, Christian Grey.
The book, writes the Evening Standard's David Sexton, "loyally repeats every line [and] every excruciating email".
According to the Telegraph, the result is "as sexy as a misery memoir".
"How often do Ana's cheeks flush pink?" writes Bryony Gordon in her one-star review. "How many times does she make him feel ten feet tall?
"And he really should go and see someone about all that prickling his scalp does."
James's original told of the steamy relationship between Grey, a millionaire businessmen with an interest in bondage and sadism, and literature student Anastasia Steele from the latter's perspective.
According to the author, "thousands of readers" had requested to hear Christian's point of view since the book's publication.
The new book was published on 18 June, as that is the date of the character's birthday in Fifty Shades and the two sequels that followed.
Writing in The Guardian, chick-lit author Jenny Colgan described the original novel as "a rather fun and fairly mild portrait of a woman's sexual fantasy".
In her opinion, though, "it is almost impossible to read Grey and not assume the narrator is going to end up in jail".
"Instead of light-hearted and repetitive mild S&M, the 'love affair' is now the twisted work of an utter psychopath," she continues.
Yet the Daily Mirror's Francesca Cookney is more forgiving, saying fans of the Christian Grey character "will be pleased to discover he's no less complex than he seems".
The first book in James's trilogy was adapted into a film this year by director Sam Taylor-Johnson, with Jamie Dornan as Christian and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia.
Taylor-Johnson has since ruled herself out of directing the planned sequels, based on James's books Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.

The #WordsAtWork campaign by the country's Diversity Council asks people to avoid expressions they say exclude minority groups.
Using "girls" for women, and "walk the talk" to people in wheelchairs, are among terms they say are offensive.
Mr Morrison was awarded the role of Australian of the Year partly for his equality campaigning.
The former military man - once chief of the Australian Army - admitted he had used some of the terms himself.
But of "guys" Mr Morrison said "I have now removed that from my lexicon as best I can. I think it's important."
Insisting the campaign was not intended to create a "language police", he said: "People use language to denigrate others and to take away their self-respect. Sometimes it happens unconsciously, but the effect is the same."
While some praised the inclusive language drive, not everyone agreed that "guys" was offensive, or that it was the most urgent problem that the Australian of the Year could be tackling.
Some wondered if the thoroughly Australian greeting "mate" - often used by and for men - would be next.
Australian National University language expert Catherine Travis also questioned whether "guys" was still a gender-specific term, telling Australia's ABC that "you guys" was now widely used of all genders.
There was broader agreement on some other terms though, including against using "gay" in a negative fashion.

Cook won the Plate at the 2010 Cheltenham Festival on Great Endeavour.
He said Labour voters were key to Remain winning but they had been turned off the debate by media pre-occupation with Conservative infighting.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had "been working very hard" but his message "hasn't been cutting through", he said.
Later, ex-PM Gordon Brown and ex-leader Neil Kinnock will stage a pro-EU rally.
Mr Brown, who played a pivotal role in the campaign to keep Scotland in the UK in 2014, will use the event in Glasgow to urge Scottish voters to vote to stay in the EU.
There will be a separate Labour rally in Birmingham.
There are just two weeks to go until the UK decides on its future in the EU, in an in-out referendum on 23 June.
The Remain campaign believes Labour voters will be essential to winning the referendum but it has concerns about turnout levels among the group.
Mr Khan, the newly-elected mayor of London, said Labour had a "monumental responsibility" to ensure it mobilised its supporters to vote in favour of continued EU membership.
"The worry that we have is, for understandable reasons because a lot of the media attention has been on so-called 'blue on blue' attacks - Boris Johnson versus David Cameron, Michael Gove versus George Osborne - Labour voters have been turned off," he said.
He said he was trying to "remind Labour voters and supporters" why it was "so important" for the UK to remain in the EU - and was calling on them to persuade friends and family to vote Remain.
Asked whether he believed Jeremy Corbyn - who has been very critical of the EU in the past - had done enough to make the case for the EU, Mr Khan said the leader had been busy campaigning around the UK.
"Jeremy has been working really hard, talking to members, to citizens around the country," he said, but added: "What's clear is that it hasn't been cutting through."
He said the town hall campaign approach was not enough on its own.
"Too many Labour voters, supporters don't understand that we are unequivocally united about the importance of remaining in the European Union," Mr Khan said.
But he said it was not Mr Corbyn's responsibility alone to get the message out, and said: "All of us have a responsibility, we can't just put it on the leader's shoulders."
While the majority of the Labour Party is in support of the UK's EU membership, a handful of its MPs are supporting an EU exit, including Gisela Stuart, chairwoman of Vote Leave campaign.
Ms Stuart has said the EU has been bad for workers, saying levels of unemployment in eurozone countries were in the "double digits".
"This notion that the European Union is this great paragon of social justice - think again," she has said.
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.

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.

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.
Officers said the pilot was the only person on board the aircraft at the time.
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.
Bisping's opportunity comes after Chris Weidman was forced out of UFC 199 on 4 June in Los Angeles with a neck injury.
Manchester middleweight Bisping's last fight was a unanimous-decision win over Anderson Silva in London in February.
However, the 37-year-old lost to Rockhold in their only previous meeting, submitting in the second round of their November 2014 fight.

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.
Fresh-faced Hamilton started something good

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."
Le Fondre, who signs on a season-long loan, last played for the Bluebirds in January 2015 and has since had loan spells with Bolton and Wolves.
Byrne, has signed a three-year contract at Wigan, having played 24 times in his one season at Molineux.
Striker Woolery, 21, who joined Bolton in 2013, also joins the Latics on a three-year deal.
"Kaiyne is someone we are really excited to bring to the club," Wigan manager Gary Caldwell told the club website. "We have been looking at him for some time and been impressed by what we have seen."

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.

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.
The 32-year-old midfielder also faces a charge of driving at 97mph on the A11 at Wymondham in Norfolk in February.
Norwich City Football Club made no comment.
Both roads have a speed limit of 70mph.
A court spokesman told the BBC that magistrates were provided with a list of dates when Norwich were playing and both separate cases were adjourned until December.
Mr O'Neil, from Kent, has previously played for West Ham United, Portsmouth and Queens Park Rangers.
He was not present at the hearing.
No-one was injured in the incident in Craigfoot Walk, Kirkcaldy at about 22:30 on Thursday but the house and a car were damaged.
Insp Graeme Neill, of Police Scotland, said: "Incidents like this are extremely rare, however, we have stepped up high visibility patrols in the area.
"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."
Left-back Cole, 23, arrived from Staines in January but made just six appearances for the Spitfires, who finished 15th in the National League.
Centre-back Obileye, 22, joined the club last summer from Charlton and played 16 times, while also enjoying a brief spell on loan at Dover.
Stearn, 26, scored twice in 18 games after signing from Sutton in November.
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".
Aleksejus Zarskus, 42, died in hospital after an incident in King Street on Sunday 15 January.

Australia international Johnathan Thurston, a man seemingly destined to take his place among the Immortals Down Under, is looking to bring the world's biggest club prize back with him to the far-flung rugby league-mad north of his homeland, where the Great Barrier Reef meets World Heritage rainforest.
The Cowboys, founded 21 years ago, are taking on Super League's best for the first time, while Leeds have won the trophy three times in the past 11 years.
BBC Sport takes a look at the "aura" of Thurston that drives the Cowboys on, the crisis facing reigning Super League champions Leeds and the other stories from the 2016 World Club Series - starting with St Helens against Sydney Roosters on Friday before new England coach Wayne Bennett leads Brisbane Broncos against Wigan Warriors on Saturday.
The annual World Club Challenge, which pits the champions of England and Australia against each other in a one-off contest, was expanded to become the World Club Series in 2015.
Three Super League clubs take on three teams from Australia's National Rugby League, with the World Club Challenge match providing the climax to the three-day event.
NRL sides won all three matches last year.
Thurston has almost every major honour available in the rugby league world, at domestic and international level. Every honour but the World Club Challenge, that is.
Fifteen seasons after making his first-grade debut for Canterbury Bulldogs, he can finally achieve that aim when he leads North Queensland Cowboys into the cross-hemisphere contest.
"It'd be huge and would mean plenty to me," Thurston told BBC Sport.
"It's been such a privilege to play at this level for as long as I have, and although you never earmark 'x' number of premierships, or Origins, or World Cups, you always want to win every competition you're involved in.
"So, to win this World Club Challenge match against Leeds would be fantastic, not so much to 'win a set' but to be able to say we, as a team, were successful in an event in which we competed in for the first time.
"I think the fact we have the same team competing in England that won the NRL premiership last year is very significant and would make any success we had over here that much more special."
Last season's NRL premiership win capped a remarkable year for the 32-year-old, with team success matched by a Clive Churchill Medal man-of-the-match display, and a Dally M Player of the Year award.
He missed out on the recent Indigenous All-Stars squad in order to stay fit for Sunday's game, but is aware of the responsibility his status as a sportsman brings.
"I'm very proud of my heritage and culture," he added. "I'm in a privileged position, I really enjoy the work I do in the community. I need to make the most of it, I'm not the only one."
Leeds' record in the competition is an impressive one, collecting the world's top club prize three times with victories against Canterbury Bulldogs, Melbourne Storm and most recently against Manly Sea Eagles in 2012.
But never before has a side preparing for the international fixture faced the sort of crisis that Leeds are grappling with.
Seven first-team players are sidelined, including captain Danny McGuire, talismanic winger Tom Briscoe and recent signing Beau Falloon. Those losses have made their disastrous start to their title defence - losing both league games and conceding 68 points in the process - all the more distressing.
Even before the season started, last season's treble winners were in all sorts of bother, with their training ground subjected to an estimated £1m of flood damage in December.
Rhinos forward Brett Ferres, preparing for just his third game for Leeds since joining from Huddersfield, admits he has never been part of a side that has been confronted by such hardship so early in the season.
"We've lost a few leaders in the past and now it is time for the boys to stand up," Ferres told BBC Radio Leeds.
"Obviously me coming into a fresh environment, I'm a senior player and I want to take the responsibility on. I look forward to the challenge."
Despite the setbacks, the England international says it is hard not to get caught up in the thrill of playing in the World Club Challenge.
"It's exciting times for us, going into a different competition and getting away from Super League as it has been a tough start for us," he said.
"We can't get nervous. We need to go out and enjoy it. In the warm up, suck it up, take in the atmosphere, take it all in then forget about it. After that, it's just another game to play in.
"It's a big experience. These moments don't come around often."
Wayne Bennett, newly appointed England boss and Australian rugby league's most decorated coach, takes his Brisbane Broncos to the DW Stadium on Saturday to face a Wigan Warriors side coached by Shaun Wane, the man he may very well appoint as his national team assistant.
The match comes as a tantalising rematch after Brisbane overcame their English opponents in golden-point extra-time 12 months ago.
Wigan captain Sean O'Loughlin said: "There were a lot of disappointed lads after that, so to get another crack at Brisbane this year gives us a good chance to put that behind us with a win.
"Intensity wise, there is a massive step up in these games. We are not in the World Club Challenge game, but to get a crack at a top Australian side is still a huge deal.
"It's a game that has a cup mentality and final mentality to it."
Wigan, who lost the 2014 World Club Challenge to Sydney Roosters, are the only Super League side in this year's series with a perfect record going into the cross-competition fixture.
"We have been involved in two real tough games, not so much big-scoring or free-flowing games, but real grinding and tough intensity games," O'Loughlin added. "We expect this weekend's game to be like that, so it has been good preparation going into it."
A cold, raining night on Merseyside will be alien to Sydney Roosters captain Jake Friend, but the hooker expects the St Helens faithful to turn the heat up at Langtree Park on Friday.
"I've heard the songs and war cries and it is something I'm looking forward to - hopefully it will be an awesome atmosphere," the 26-year-old told BBC Radio Merseyside.
The Roosters, who won the World Club Challenge for a third time in 2014, will face a Saints side that suffered a thumping defeat by Salford Red Devils - a club one of its own players admitted had been a "laughing stock" last season - in their previous outing.
"I'm sure they will be out to prove a point," said Friend, who helped Sydney top the NRL table as minor premiers last year.
"I know they are capable of throwing anything at us at any time. Defensively we will need to try to limit them."
Saints lost last year's World Club Challenge game to South Sydney Rabbitohs by a record score, and are out to prove that Super League can match their more illustrious and better-financed southern hemisphere rivals.
"Super League versus the NRL is a big thing isn't it?" said St Helens captain Jon Wilkin. "We need to show our competition still has got merits and show young guys they should want to stay and play in our competition."

Tobias Ellwood was criticised after he said that a planned 10% pay rise for MPs was "well overdue".
He said he had been trying to make a point about not deterring future MPs who were not wealthy, but recognised his comments were "insensitive".
The Bournemouth East MP earns a basic salary of £67,000 plus about £20,000 for his Foreign Office role.
MPs salaries are to rise from £67,060 to £74,000 - backdated to 8 May.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) - put in charge of MPs' pay after the 2009 expenses scandal - approved the salary increase despite appeals from Downing Street and many MPs who said it was inappropriate.
Ipsa says in future MPs' pay would rise in line with average rises in the public sector.
During Ipsa's consultation, Mr Elwood, a junior Foreign Office minister, wrote to support the proposed pay increase.
In his submission, he said: "I know I speak for the silent majority (who are not millionaires) to say this increase is well overdue.
"I never expected to be watching the pennies at my age and yet this what I now have to do."
The Conservative MP had said he would be earning much more if he had stayed in his job in the armed forces.
However, his comments attracted criticism - prompting the minister to issue an apology "for the offence I've caused".
In a statement on his official Facebook page, he said he recognised that the remarks in his "confidential submission" were "inappropriate and insensitive" and an "error of judgment".
"Constituents' comments have been a stark personal reminder of the challenges everyone is facing and I am the wiser for it." he added.
Mr Ellwood said the submission had been a "private attempt" to express "a genuine concern" about MPs pay, which he said was lower than in other public sector jobs.
"Good candidates who are not so financially secure are being deterred from entering politics and this is not good for Parliament or the country.
"We need to attract the best from all walks of life to ensure that Parliament is as representative as possible of our society in terms of its diversity," he said.
But the MP said his comments had "underlined the perception that MPs are out of touch".
"That is something I very much regret and must now focus on repairing."
Villa sacked Paul Lambert on Wednesday after a winless run of 10 league games in which they scored just two goals.
Sherwood, 46, replaced Andre Villas-Boas as Tottenham manager in December 2013 but was sacked at the end of last season and has been out of work since.
"It is a great honour to manage one of the biggest clubs in English football," said Sherwood.
"I can't wait to get started and I'm really looking forward to the challenge."
Sherwood takes over a Villa side that have struggled badly since taking 10 points from their first four matches - scoring just 12 league goals in 25 games, the lowest in Premier League history at that stage.
They dropped into the relegation zone after Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to Hull.
The appointment comes just two days after first-team coach Scott Marshall and goalkeeping coach Andy Marshall took temporary charge following Lambert's dismissal.
Sherwood has been linked with a number of jobs since leaving Spurs, most recently the QPR post, when he looked set to be named as Harry Redknapp's successor.
However, negotiations with the ex-Tottenham boss ended after he sought assurances about the club's future.
Aston Villa chief executive Tom Fox said: "Tim had a fantastic career at Tottenham, not only in his brief spell as first-team manager but, just as importantly, in the role he played in developing young talent.
"We strongly believe Tim has the qualities to get the best out of our current squad and help us build and develop for the future."
After working as a coach at White Hart Lane from 2008, Sherwood stabilised Spurs following the exit of Villas Boas, taking them above Manchester United to finish sixth in the Premier League in 2013-14.
Villa chairman Randy Lerner says he is convinced that the "fresh, positive approach" of Sherwood will be "very good for the club".
It is not known at this stage whether the new boss will be in the dugout for Villa's FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to Leicester tomorrow.
Sherwood, who won three England caps, joined Tottenham as a player in 1999 from Blackburn, where he captained them to the Premier League title in 1994-95.
He left White Hart Lane in 2003 and moved to Portsmouth but returned as part of the club's coaching staff under then manager Harry Redknapp.
Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee faces years behind bars even though her writing has not been published.
She was convicted of "insulting Islamic sanctities" and "spreading propaganda against the system".
Amnesty International called the conviction "ludicrous" and the trial "farcical".
Victims of stoning are executed by having rocks thrown at them until they are dead. In Iran, most are women accused of adultery.
Ms Ebrahimi Iraee's work describes the emotional reaction of a young woman who watches the film The Stoning of Soraya M - which tells the true story of a young woman stoned to death - and is so enraged that she burns a copy of the Koran.
The Iranian authorities found the piece on 6 September 2014, when the writer and her activist husband Arash Sadeghi were arrested by men believed to be members of the Revolutionary Guard.
Journalist sues Iran over 'torture'
Iran's teachers' leaders warn of jail threat
Woman asked to stop Iran Olympic protest
Ms Ebrahimi Iraee was transferred to Tehran's Evin Prison and held there for 20 days, without access to her family or a lawyer, Amnesty International says.
She says she was interrogated for hours while blindfolded and facing a wall, and repeatedly told that she could face execution for "insulting Islam".
She says she could clearly hear the interrogators threatening and verbally abusing her husband in the next cell. Mr Sadeghi has since said that he was beaten and tortured while in custody.
Now the activist has been ordered to hand herself over to Tehran's Evin Prison to begin serving her sentence. Her husband is already serving 15 years in the infamous institution, which has a special wing designated for political prisoners, academics, intellectuals and journalists.
His interrogators allegedly used copies of his Facebook messages and emails to journalists and human rights activists - among them the BBC's Persian service - as "proof" of the charges against him.
Philip Luther, Amnesty's Director of Research and Advocacy for the Middle East and North Africa, said Ebrahimi Iraee "is effectively being punished for using her imagination".
He said Iran continues to justify the use of stoning in the name of morality.
"Instead of imprisoning a young woman for peacefully exercising her human rights by expressing her opposition to stoning, the Iranian authorities should focus on abolishing this punishment, which amounts to torture," he said.
The medical body, one of the biggest providers of healthcare in Rakhine, was ordered out of the state in February.
The government said all aid groups in Myanmar (Burma) could return to Rakhine but that MSF "was especially welcome".
In February the president's office accused MSF of being biased in favour of Rakhine's Muslim Rohingya minority.
The group had publicised casualties among Rohingyas who had allegedly been attacked by a Buddhist mob. Some Buddhists accused MSF staff of favouring Rohingyas.
Announcing the decision to allow MSF back into Rakhine, President's Office Minister Soe Thein promised to guarantee the safety of the group's staff in the state.
"As human beings we all commit errors and the errors usually lie on both sides," he told a press conference in Yangon.
MSF welcomed the move.
"We look forward to continuing constructive discussions with the Ministry of Health regarding how MSF can support the ministry in the immediate expansion of lifesaving medical activities for the people of Rakhine currently facing a humanitarian crisis," it said in a statement.
MSF was providing emergency assistance to tens of thousands of Rohingya people displaced by recent violence.
The United Nations has described the Rohingya as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world.
They are considered stateless and are rejected by both Myanmar and neighbouring Bangladesh.
The Rohingya have faced widespread public hostility in Buddhist-majority Myanmar.
There have been several outbreaks of mass violence against them since June 2012, with tens of thousands fleeing their homes for temporary camps.
The baker had been told by Hull City Council that it needed to have lavatories in city shops with seats.
The firm was to challenge a ruling in favour of the council made at the High Court in 2016 but has now withdrawn its appeal.
Greggs said it has revised its policy "which we believe meets the requirements of the law".
More on this and other Hull stories
Hull sought a judicial review after Greggs claimed it had received guidance that toilets were not required from Newcastle City Council, the bakers' home town authority.
Under government legislation this "Primary Authority" advice should have been followed by other local councils.
Hull challenged this with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BIS), arguing that the law had been wrongly interpreted by Newcastle.
When the department's Regulatory Delivery unit ruled against it, Hull sought a judicial review at the High Court in May 2016, which found in its favour.
Hull City Council said it was pleased with the decision to drop the appeal and added. "We will now work with Greggs with the aim of achieving local compliance, providing any advice and support as necessary.
"If local compliance is not achievable we have a duty to consider taking further action but hope that this will not be necessary".
In a statement, Greggs said: "We will continue to abide by Newcastle's guidance, which is that where a local authority has a policy on the provision of sanitary facilities for customers in food to go outlets we would not have more than ten seats without such sanitary provision in the absence of that local authority's approval."
Concorde 216 is currently parked next to the runway at Filton Airfield, which is due to close later this year.
It has been there since being withdrawn from service in 2003 and was part of an open-air exhibit which closed in 2010.
The Save Concorde Group (SCG) says there is an urgent need for the aircraft to be housed under cover.
SCG chairman Ben Lord said: "This airframe has been exposed to the elements for an unacceptable level of time.
"We believe that the only way this aircraft will be secured and not out in the open for another winter is if our plan is executed."
The group has submitted plans to Airbus UK and British Airways (BA) for the plane, known as Alpha-Foxtrot, to be housed in a £1.2m permanent indoor exhibition facility.
The proposed centre would be just off a new link road between Filton and Cribbs Causeway - bordering the northern edge of Filton Airfield.
The plan includes a science and technology centre, which would train engineers from local universities.
A proposal by another group, The Concorde Trust, for a museum at Cribbs Causeway stalled after a £9m Heritage Lottery Fund bid was turned down in 2011.
Mr Lord added: "As soon as the news broke that the alternative £9m scheme had failed to secure funding, we immediately announced our low-cost plans and gave an outline proposal to BA that we believe is the only feasible solution to the future of Alpha-Foxtrot."
The SCG has held discussions with potential partners such as BAE Systems and De Boers Structures, and has also received support from the Save Filton Airfield Group.
"All of these organisations are brought together with one fundamental aim - to see Concorde preserved in this unique location in the quickest and best possible way," Mr Lord said.
He added that SCG expected to hear from Airbus and British Airways regarding the proposal in the next few weeks.
A BA spokeswoman said: "There is no doubt that Concorde Alpha Foxtrot deserves a permanent home and should be shown off to the public in a manner befitting her iconic status.
"In the last few months, British Airways and Airbus have invited interested parties to share their ideas for how best to do this. Two bids were received, and are now being considered.
"We hope that a successful outcome can be reached in the months ahead."
Concorde 216 was the last of the fleet to fly as the aircraft was decommissioned by British Airways in 2003.

Balandin had been the slowest qualifier, but won in a time of two minutes 7.46 seconds, with American Josh Prenot second in 2:07:53.
Willis came fourth in 2:07:78, 0.08 seconds behind third-placed Anton Chupkov of Russia.
Germany's world champion Marco Koch could only finish seventh in the final.
"I feel like when I do finish swimming, four will be my lucky number. But I gave it everything and I wouldn't change anything," said Willis, who has now finished fourth at the Olympics, twice at the World Championships and once at the European Championships.
"I touched and I knew I was up there. When you touch and you look around it seems to take forever. I'm just a bit gutted."

In the women's 200m breaststroke, Great Britain's Molly Renshaw, 20, and Chloe Tutton, 20, advanced to the final.
Renshaw set a British record of 2:22:33 and finished second in her semi-final to qualify as the third fastest swimmer, while Tutton's time of 2:22:71 put her through as the seventh fastest.
Controversial Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova, who was only allowed to compete at Rio after successfully appealing against a doping suspension, also reached the final, coming second in her race to be sixth fastest overall.
Efimova, 24, was banned for 16 months in 2013 after traces of an anabolic steroid were found in her system.

The society is due to give evidence on a bill that would make smoking in cars when children are present illegal.
Police Scotland have raised concerns about being the sole enforcers of the proposed legislation.
The force said the move would divert police resources away from counter-terrorism and organised crime.
Alison Britton, convener of the Law Society's health and medical law committee, said: "Of course we support the policy intent behind this bill, and the harmful effects of smoking and second-hand smoke are well documented."
However, she added the society had concerns the legislation would be "difficult to enforce."
She argued challenges would be presented in particular cases such as when a car was moving, or in heavy traffic.
"The enforcing officer would need to be able to see the offence taking place and ascertain the age of any child present," she added.
In written evidence submitted to the Scottish Parliament's health and sport committee, Police Scotland said it questioned "the decision to make the police solely responsible for enforcement".
It posed the question: "As a public health issue is it proportionate or necessary to justify the use of limited police resources to enforce [this legislation]?"
The force said while the aims of the legislation were "commendable", as a public health issue the legislation did not "sit comfortably within the Police Scotland policing plan and the force priorities".
It said making the police the sole enforcers of the measures outlined in the bill could result in resources being diverted away from "force priorities" such as organised crime or counter-terrorism.
Police Scotland suggested local authorities could share some responsibility for enforcing the ban.
Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone said: "Of course, no-one wants to see someone smoking in such a confined space when there are children around. But the reality is almost nobody does this, and taking an educational approach would be far better.
"We have said from the outset that it will be nigh on impossible to enforce this.
"With the force's limited resources, we really need officers to be concentrating on more important matters."
The Law Society has also recommended the driver should be legally responsible for ensuring no-one smokes in the vehicle in the presence of children, rather than the smoker.
It claimed this would bring the proposals in line with other road laws on child safety and with legislation that has been passed in England, and would be "more logical".
Currently, the proposed legislation would place the criminal liability on the smoker rather than the driver of a car.
The Smoking Prohibition (Children in Motor Vehicles) (Scotland) Bill was introduced by Lib Dem MSP Jim Hume, and is currently being considered by the Scottish Parliament's health and sport committee.
Tomas Georgeson hid the incomplete cheque in the Milton Keynes Gallery to help promote the town as a "cultural destination".
He said whoever discovers it can write the cheque out to themselves.
Gallery director Anthony Spira, said staff "knew nothing about it" but would "scour" the building looking for it.
Primarily a painter, Tomas Georgeson was the winner of the Derby Open competition in 2002 and exhibited his Portrait of my Father at the National Portrait Gallery as part of the 2011 BP Portrait Award.
Mr Georgeson said he had "the greatest respect" for the gallery, its director and its exhibitions programme.
He said: "I should point out that I have not hidden the cheque on or around any of the artwork on display and the public should take proper care if they choose to look for the cheque.
"I hope that the personal risk I have taken in doing this can stand as something positive in a town eager to establish itself as a cultural destination.
"Milton Keynes began with a sense of bold, risk taking creativity and long may that continue."
Mr Spira said the claim had come as a "complete surprise" and he had brought in extra staff to guard its displays.
He revealed there had "definitely been more visitors than normal" on Wednesday after the story appeared in the Daily Telegraph.
He said: "It's early days, they haven't been queuing around the block but there have been about 30 extra people in the first two hours and some have not been to the gallery before so that is fantastic.
"So far so good, nothing has been destroyed but we have had people rifling through our bookcases, looking for clever titles which might be hiding it."
If unclaimed, the cheque will be collected on 1 March.
Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said a thorough check prior to publication was necessary to rule out security breaches.
She said highly sensitive material given by the government to author Sir Desmond de Silva would not be included.
This follows concerns about identifying sources, Mrs Villiers said.
The NI Secretary said the government had a legal obligation to examine the report to make sure lives and national security were not endangered.
She said the report would be published as soon as possible after the security checks and Mr Finucane's family would be offered the chance to see it first.
But relatives of Mr Finucane, who have been critical of the review from the outset, said the security exercise should have been done by the courts.
Pat Finucane was shot dead in his north Belfast home by loyalist paramilitaries, the UFF, in 1989.
The murder of the prominent solicitor and Catholic father of three was one of the most controversial of the Northern Ireland Troubles with allegations of state collusion in his killing.
Sir Desmond, a leading QC, was commissioned by the government to undertake a legal review of the case last year.
However, the move angered members of the Finucane family who said it fell well short of the full public inquiry for which they had long campaigned.
Relatives subsequently launched a legal challenge against Prime Minister David Cameron's refusal to establish an inquiry.
Mr Finucane's son John said on Wednesday his family never had confidence in the review and the government's decision to subject it to a security check had emphasised their misgivings.
He said it was not appropriate for the state to control the information published in a report that was supposed to be examining its alleged role in a murder.
"This confirms again that the government, who on the one hand are being accused of collusion in the murder of my father, and the Prime Minister has accepted that there was collusion, controls the flow of information - which I don't think is credible," he said.
"It is not a process that I think is independent, we think that process is best managed by a court."
Mr Finucane again called for a full public inquiry to be held.
The security checks ordered by Mrs Villiers are similar to those conducted by the government on other sensitive reports - such as the Bloody Sunday Inquiry - prior to publication.
Mrs Villiers said it would be unlikely that any material would need to be redacted but the government had a legal obligation to carry out the checks.
Government lawyers and representatives of the Ministry of Defence, Security Services and Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) will examine the report.
In 2004, the then Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy announced his intention to hold an inquiry under the new Inquiries Act.
The Finucane family are opposed to the inquiry being held under this legislation, which they say makes the inquiry accountable to the minister responsible, rather than to parliament.
Liam Booth, 18, a member of St John Wales in Llandudno, stopped his car to offer help when he came across the accident on the A55 in nearby Colwyn Bay.
He performed CPR until paramedics arrived to take the man to hospital.
St John Wales is offering free life saving awareness sessions this month.
Recalling the incident, Liam said: "I knew what to do thanks to my training. For people who might not have the skills or the confidence to help, a quick first aid course could really be the difference."
St John Wales says only one in 10 people have the necessary skills to save a life.
Chief executive Keith Dunn said: "We believe that no one should die because they needed first aid and didn't get it. That's why our aim is to have a first aider in every home in Wales.
"Liam's training and presence of mind to act calmly and effectively in a difficult situation shows just how valuable first aid training can be."
The row comes days after the online retailer apologised for selling doormats featuring the Indian flag.
Gandhi, who campaigned for independence from Britain, is widely revered and known as the Father of the Nation.
The Indian embassy in Washington had been told to tell Amazon US to respect Indian feelings, a foreign ministry spokesman was quoted as saying.
"As a follow up to the matter regarding the sale of doormats with the Indian flag on Amazon, our Ambassador in Washington has been instructed to convey to Amazon that while providing a platform for third party vendors, they should respect Indian sensitivities and sentiments," Vikas Swarup said, NDTV reported.
The Indian government's Secretary of Economic Affairs Shaktikanta Das was among those to express anger on social media, telling Amazon its "indifference to Indian symbols" would be "at your own peril".
He later said that he had been writing as a citizen, was not threatening government action against the company and remained committed to free trade.
The row follows fury over the sale of Indian flag-themed doormats.
Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj took to Twitter to demand that Amazon "apologise unconditionally" or its officials would not be given visas.
Amazon India vice-president Amit Agarwal wrote to Ms Swaraj saying the doormats had been offered by a third-party seller on its Canadian website and there had been no intent to offend.
Mr Agarwal said in a statement that the firm was "committed to respecting Indian laws and customs".
Desecration of the flag is punishable with fines and imprisonment in India.
Last June Amazon found itself in a similar controversy over sales of doormats illustrating Hindu gods.
Amazon has not commented on the latest controversy over the flip flops but the product had been removed from its US site on Sunday.
Amazon is locked in a fierce battle with Flipkart, India's biggest online retailer, over market share.
Charlie Hammerton and Bandit hiked 84 miles (135km) in three days from Newcastle to Bowness-on-Solway following his mother's funeral.
The 22-year-old from Ipswich said he was "suffering a little bit" and Bandit was "fine but really sleepy".
The pair raised more than £3,000 for charity during the walk.
"I started the walk as me grieving," said Mr Hammerton, an RAF airman.
"I wanted to get out on the open air wand go for a walk with my mate Bandit.
"Now it's over all that is behind me and it's a really emotional time."
Mr Hammerton chose Hadrian's Wall because he said the Romans were the people who "domesticated the ferret" and would have walked their ferrets along the same route.
During their hike they were joined by other ferrets and their owners for support - as well as dogs, horses and even a cat.
Mr Hammerton was fundraising for St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich, where his mother died last month, and the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association.
There is no cure for MND, which attacks the nerves that control movement, leaving people unable to move, talk and, eventually, breathe.
Harlow Edwards died on 13 October after two cars crashed into each other on the A94 Forfar Road in Coupar Angus.
Her six-year-old brother and 17-year-old sister were both seriously injured in the incident.
The man is expected to appear at Perth Sheriff Court and a report has been sent to the procurator fiscal.
The test involves all twelve alarms in and around Grangemouth petrochemical complex being activated.
The system will broadcast warning tones and verbal instructions to the public at 19:00.
The biannual warning test is operated by the plant's major incident control committee (MICC).
MICC chairman Derek Brown said: "Throughout the year, MICC member companies work together with the emergency services and Falkirk Council to train and exercise to ensure we are match fit to deal with the many different situations that could arise."
An investigation was launched into the cause of a gas leak at the Grangemouth petrochemical site earlier this month.
"In the end if I keep failing and keep failing and keep failing, it'll be best for everybody if I go - but give me some time to see if I can fix the problems first," he said.
At the retailer's annual meeting, independent shareholders opposed the re-election of the company's chairman.
But Mr Ashley asked for "time" to regain the confidence of investors.
"I believe that in 12 months' time we shall see that [chairman Keith Hellawell] does have the confidence of the independent investors," he said.
"I believe that we should be given time to work on the areas of the business where we have had shortcomings."
The company had earlier heard from angry shareholders at its annual meeting.
A majority of independent shareholders voted against keeping Keith Hellawell as chairman, despite him having Mr Ashley's backing.
Mr Ashley owns 55% of the company, which said it was "disappointed" and will hold another vote.
Sports Direct executives, including billionaire Mike Ashley, faced calls at the meeting for widespread changes to the way the company is run.
"I take this clear message from our independent shareholders seriously, and I will do my best to address their concerns and earn their confidence over the next year," Mr Hellawell said.
Excluding Mr Ashley's votes, the re-election of Mr Hellawell was voted down by a margin of 53% to 47%.
It was a telling moment in a day that was supposed to be a perfectly orchestrated piece of corporate theatre.
In a bid to prove to assembled reporters that he was all too aware of Sports Direct employees' daily vexations, billionaire founder Mike Ashley demonstrated a routine search procedure at the company's Shirebrook warehouse.
In his pockets? A huge wad of red £50 notes - like a caricature of a 1980s tycoon.
A brash, outspoken and often controversial figure, Mr Ashley is in many ways moulded by the business culture of the decade in which he founded the sports retail empire.
But the charm offensive on display at this year's annual general meeting was an attempt to rebrand himself, and Sports Direct, in an image more appropriate for an age when negative publicity can hammer a firm's bottom line, as well as its reputation.

Earlier in the day it was revealed that Mr Hellawell had offered to resign over the weekend, but stayed on after the board, including Mr Ashley, unanimously backed him to continue and assist in further improvements.
The 74-year-old told independent shareholders that he would stay on to make improvements but would leave next year if he did not get their full backing.
Now, another meeting must be called within three to four months from today to vote on Mr Hellawell's position.
Legal and General Investment Management, Sports Direct's 11th largest shareholder, called for Mr Hellawell to step down immediately.
Sacha Sadan, the fund's director of corporate governance, said: "At absolute minimum, we believe the current chairman should step down immediately and an external, independent appointment made to oversee management and protect the interests of all stakeholders - including employees, suppliers, and shareholders."
Mike Ashley, dabbing his forehead with a tissue, showed reporters around the firm's troubled Shirebrook warehouse.
Sport's Direct's legal advisers Reynolds Porter Chamberlain carried out a report into its work practices after MPs accused the firm of not treating staff there like humans.
Responding to concerns that employees were suffering ankle and hand injuries because they were expected to work too fast for too long, Mr Ashley said they would look to vary their duties.
Education budgets are under pressure from rising prices and pupil numbers, which could leave schools worse off unless funding increases.
Remember we are only talking about England here - education policy is devolved to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Labour promised to ring-fence the entire education budget, from pre-school up to the age of 19. This means the amount of money available each year will stay the same and it won't be eroded by inflation. However, the number of schoolchildren is expected to increase by about 460,000 between now and 2020. With this growth in the population the amount of money spent on each pupil will fall.
The Conservatives have looked at the funding question differently. They say that they will protect the schools budget for children aged five to 16 years by protecting funding per pupil. In other words, they will keep the amount spent on each pupil the same, so school funding will rise in line with pupil numbers, but it will not necessarily keep pace with inflation.
This is a change of policy from the Tories, who over the past five years have protected schools against inflation, but not rising pupil numbers. They have not committed to protect the pre-school and further education budgets.
The offer from the Liberal Democrats is the most generous of the three. Not only will they ring-fence spending "from cradle to college", but later in the Parliament they will also inject extra money into the system to effectively increase funding in line with both pupil numbers and inflation.
They say that once they have balanced the books by 2017-18, they would then increase funding in line with economic growth (that's inflation plus the rate of growth in the economy). This would mean a sharp increase in funding from 2018 onwards, which would help schools account for the rise in pupil numbers. So even with an increase in the number of school-age children, the money spent on each child would have risen in line with inflation by the end of the Parliament.
The Liberal Democrats say that this is equivalent to an extra £2.5bn on top of what Labour is promising, and £5bn more than the Conservatives, but it does rely on them managing to sort out the deficit by 2017-18 and the economy growing. Over the past five years, the government, of which they have been part, has been very bad at predicting when the deficit will be eliminated.
The Liberal Democrats say they will spend so much more than the Conservatives because the Tories are only protecting spending on education for five to 16-year-olds. The £5bn figure is based on Institute for Fiscal Studies analysis, which assumes that the Conservatives would cut spending on pre-school and education for 16 to 19-year-olds in line with other unprotected areas.
Whether you protect for rising prices or rising pupil numbers is particularly significant at a time when pupil numbers are rising. A report from the National Audit Office found that there was a strain on school places because between 2001 and 2011 there had been the largest 10-year increase in children born in England since the 1950s, with live births rising 22% to 688,000.

The Welsh education inspection body Estyn's latest annual report found 40% of pupils in Wales cannot read as well as they should be able to when they arrive at secondary school. And many of them will never catch up.
Wales' Chief Inspector of Schools says that is unacceptable.
The most recent tests for 11-year-olds in England put the equivalent figure at 16%.
Just as concerning is Wales' ranking in international tests for 15-year-olds. Wales is lagging behind England, Scotland and Northern Ireland in reading, maths and science.
Poor literacy is seen as the root of the problem. The challenge lies in knowing how to improve it.
Education Minister Leighton Andrews says tackling literacy is his priority.
He believes a five-year National Literacy Programme will transform standards in Wales.
Compulsory reading tests are being introduced for five to 14-year-olds (Years 2 to 9) for the first time in Wales in May 2013. In May 2012, the Association of Directors of Education in Wales have agreed that all schools will use reading tests on a voluntary basis.
This is not testing for testing's sake, says Mr Andrews, but rather a chance for teachers to identify the pupils who need to be challenged, and those who need more support.
Standard Assessment Tests (Sats) were abolished in Wales in 2004. Since then, teachers have been responsible for assessing pupils, but across the board, a consistent approach has been difficult to find.
The new tests are perhaps the closest Wales will get to having a standard method of assessing pupils once again.
Turn your focus to the Foundation Phase though, and the situation is altogether more positive.
It started in 2008, encouraging the youngest pupils to use their imagination and learn through play and outdoor activities.
This alternative method of teaching the under sevens has been widely praised. Boys in particular have benefited from the Welsh government's flagship policy.
Mr Andrews says that in the best cases, teachers are finding creative ways of introducing literacy and numeracy through the different opportunities that this phase offers.
Time will tell whether this will be reflected in exam results.
A growing funding gap between what Wales and England spend on each pupil is often blamed for the problems in the Welsh education system.
The gap now stands at more than £600 per pupil. Teaching unions unite in their condemnation of it.
The Welsh government says it is injecting more money into education, over and above what it gets from the UK government.
But the education minister points out that success does not always follow the money.
"One of the best funded local authorities in Wales is also one of the worst performing local authorities. It's not about funding, it's about the application of those funds," he says.
The director of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) in Wales, Philip Dixon, believes Wales could learn from other nations when it comes to literacy.
"While it's undoubtedly true that Wales' high levels and high concentrations of deprivation have taken their toll - too many children are from backgrounds where literacy is not valued and hasn't been for generations - that cannot be used as an excuse."
"There are examples from Scotland and the United States where these adverse social factors have been successfully overcome. And that's perhaps where we should be looking for inspiration."
"The English prescription is not one that we'd want to take, as it is far too rigid in its approach."
Business leaders are calling on the Welsh government to take "urgent action" to ensure school leavers are prepared.
Emma Watkins, head of policy at CBI Wales, said: "This is the first generation of school children to have been educated completely under the policies of the Welsh government."
"The skills of our people are a vital resource we ignore at our peril. Wales simply cannot realise the goal of a more prosperous nation without sustained higher skilled employment."
It is a year since the education minister announced a 20-point plan to improve standards across the board. The First Minister Carwyn Jones has said he expects it to lead to an improvement in literacy.
Twelve months on, the stakes could not be higher.
"Trust, betrayal and the inability to consent - that's what this case is about," a prosecutor told the court in Pennsylvania.
Mr Cosby is on trial for allegedly molesting a woman who was seeking career advice in 2004.
Dozens of other women accuse the 79-year-old entertainer of sexual assault.
It is seen as the biggest US celebrity court case since the murder trial of former American football player OJ Simpson in 1995.
Assistant District Attorney Kristen Feden told jurors on Monday: "This is a case about a man - this man - who used his power and his fame and his previously practised method of placing a young, trusting woman in an incapacitated state so he could sexually pleasure himself, so she couldn't say no."
As Mr Cosby sat a few feet away, the assistant district attorney urged jurors to look beyond his role as the dad on the hit 1984-1992 television sitcom The Cosby Show.
That wholesome TV image would be "shattered", she said, accusing the entertainer of "heinous crimes".
Defence attorney Brian McMonagle countered that Mr Cosby is the victim of false accusations.
"Today I get a chance, with your help, to right a wrong," he told jurors.
"I get a chance, with your help, to protect a man from the destruction of the rest of his life."
The courthouse, in Norristown, about 20 miles (32km) outside Mr Cosby's home city of Philadelphia, swarmed with reporters as the celebrity arrived, emerging slowly from the back seat of a black SUV.
Inside court he reappeared, dressed in a navy suit and a striped tie, never turning towards the packed courtroom behind him.
He sat stoically, facing forward and periodically leaning over to confer with one of his lawyers. At one point he spoke out to no-one in particular, as one of his associates had walked away, possibly revealing an issue with poor sight. But as members of the jury entered, Mr Cosby - like everyone else in the room - turned his attention to their corner.
Judge Steven O'Neill appealed to the courtroom full of reporters to "let the trial play out", before spending the first hour explaining to jurors their job.
Cosby's diehard fans stick by fallen idol
At least 50 women have accused Mr Cosby of sexual assault, but because of statutes of limitation he is on trial for only one allegation.
Why is there a time limit on sexual assault cases in the US?
Former university employee Andrea Constand says Mr Cosby drugged and molested her after she visited his home seeking career advice in 2004.
She was 31 at the time and had befriended him through Temple University in Philadelphia, where he served on the board of trustees.
Ms Constand said Mr Cosby gave her three blue pills which made her legs feel "like jelly" and began to grope her.
In 2006, the comedian settled with Ms Constand after providing an undisclosed cash sum to her.
Mr Cosby's defence lawyers argued on Monday that his encounter with her was one of many consensual, romantic episodes between them.
His legal team said he only offered her Quaaludes - a sedative widely used recreationally in the US in the 1970s - after she complained of having trouble sleeping.
Mr Cosby's lawyers asked why Ms Constand returned to his house after she said he had made previous unwanted sexual advances on her.
They also presented evidence that the two had more than 70 phone discussions after the alleged incident, and accused Ms Constand of changing her story to police at least three times.
Mr Cosby's wife of 53 years was not seen with him as he entered the court in Norristown, near Philadelphia, on Monday.
But Keshia Knight Pulliam, who played his on-screen daughter in The Cosby Show, did accompany him.
Mr Cosby faces three counts of aggravated indecent assault. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $25,000 (£19,500).
The comic - who was at one point the highest-paid actor in the US - has said he will not testify in the trial, which is expected to last about two weeks.
He has speculated that some of the allegations against him could be motivated by racism.
The jury has seven men and five women - two are black and 10 white.
A tight first half saw the sides reach the interval at 3-3 after Shannon Izar cancelled out Emily Scarratt's penalty.
England upped their game in the second period and Scarratt edged them back in front with her second penalty.
Prop Sarah Bern drove over for a converted score to move England clear before Megan Jones' last-gasp try.
They will now play New Zealand on Saturday at the Kingspan Stadium in Belfast, kick-off 19:45 BST, in a bid to retain the title they won against Canada in 2014.
Four-time champions the Black Ferns were far too good for the USA, running out 45-12 victors in the first semi-final.
England were under the cosh for long periods in the first half and the fact they had made over 50 tackles in the first 15 minutes showed just how hard France came at them.
However, the Red Roses' white wall was unbreakable and when they finally lifted the siege, the psychological victory was probably as important as keeping the French scoreless.
In the second half England were much the better side and kept France pinned back for long periods, but even then it took two brilliant tackles to keep France out at a time when the champions only led by 10 points.
First Bern somehow held up Julie Annery as she stepped inside a yard from the line, and a minute later a desperate tackle from Jones saw the flanker just put a foot in touch as she dived over the line.
Despite France's pressure, England were level at the break and they looked like a side who never thought they could lose.
After the interval they turned up the power and, with front-foot ball to play with, the backs began to enjoy much more possession.
Even then the champions only led by three points entering the final quarter, before the relentless pressure they were applying finally told.
Bern was superb in both attack and defence and she popped up to dive over from close range.
As the game entered the final minutes England looked the fitter side and their suffocating defensive pressure saw Jones seize on a loose French pass to score with the clock deep in the red.
The Red Roses were totally dominant in the line-out, stealing half a dozen French throws, which prevented Les Bleues from building momentum at crucial moments.
Goal-kicker Scarratt was her old self from the tee, landing two conversions and two penalties in another classy all-round performance.
One gliding break lifted the first-half siege and took England into French territory, before she popped up at the next phase to give winger Lydia Thompson the chance to attack with a crisp, first-time pass.
Katy Mclean's kicking helped pin France back and although not every tackle was made, the total commitment in defence was key to subduing France - and is likely to be crucial once more against free-scoring New Zealand on Saturday.
Tight-head prop Bern has been in superb form all tournament, and the 20-year-old was once again a force of nature in Belfast.
The England scrum went into reverse on occasion against France, but at other times Bern and co shoved Les Bleues back at a rate of knots.
And around the park Bern was sensational, one moment smashing the French back in defence, the next powering forward with ball in hand.
Saturday's World Cup final could be the first of three or four for the Bristol front-rower.
England captain Sarah Hunter speaking to ITV: "It's fantastic that we've come and done the job that we wanted to do. Our defence won that game. France came at us and they've given us the greatest test we've had so far in this tournament.
"We knew we had the mindset. Both defences stood up and the tackle count shows that, but we had a white wall and there was no way they were getting across our try line tonight.
"One try and France would have been back in the game but we pride ourselves on our defence and Megan Jones made a fantastic tackle [to deny Julie Annery]."

An independent report was expected to be finished by the New Year.
However, it is understood a delay means city councillors will not now consider its findings until February.
A crisis that began with a collapsed wall at Oxgangs Primary led to disruption for about 7,600 pupils.
Once the repairs were complete, City of Edinburgh Council asked John Cole, an experienced architect from Northern Ireland, to investigate.
He was due to report before Christmas. But it is understood, although not a legal requirement, he has been advised that any organisation or individual criticised in the report must be given time to respond.
It means it will be February at the earliest before the report is then published and councillors are able to consider Mr Cole's final conclusions.
A City of Edinburgh Council spokesman said: "As planned, the chairman of the inquiry intends to provide his report to the council's chief executive by the end of the year.
"We expect the final report to be considered by councillors early in the new year."
The schools which were closed in April 2016 were all built or refurbished as part of the same public private partnership (PPP) scheme.
The problems - with wall and header ties used to hold exterior and interior walls together and attach them to the rest of the building - first became apparent when part of a wall at Oxgangs fell during stormy weather.
Safety inspections were ordered and pupils were bussed to other schools across the city while repairs were carried out.
Gatland has said he rejected an approach from Super Rugby side Chiefs about leading them from 2018.
Gatland is contracted with Wales until after the 2019 World Cup in Japan.
Phillips reinforced his belief Gatland will return, saying he "made it very clear his intention was to come back".
The WRU boss also does not expect any fall-out from the Lions tour that would affect the Wales camp.
After Gatland's Wales and Lions predecessor Graham Henry took the Lions to Australia in 2001, his relationship with senior Wales players suffered.
"The reason Warren has got the Lions job twice and assistant once is that he is a very experienced leader in that space," Phillips told Scrum V.
"So I would back him to manage the situation."
Phillips also defended the decision to allow Rob Howley to join Gatland as part of the Lions set-up.
Forwards coach Robin McBryde will be in charge of Wales' June tour Tests against Tonga and Samoa, assisted by regional coaches Danny Wilson, Matt Sherratt, both of Cardiff Blues and Scarlets' Stephen Jones.
"I think Warren and Rob will both benefit as coaches from the Lions experience," added Phillips.
"I don't think the South Sea Island tours will be hugely beneficial to them.
"Our belief was for Warren and Rob to go into the white-hot heat of a Lions tour will test and develop them.
"We genuinely have to give some coaches exposure so I am comfortable with that decision."
Phillips also defended the 2016 decision to award contracts until 2019 to members of Gatland's backroom staff, including Howley and McBryde.
"The demand for the very best coaches is greater than it has ever been," added Phillips.
"When you have got a good coaching team it tends to work in World Cup cycles so what you don't want is a major disruption halfway through.
"Four years will become the norm. Warren picks his coaching team and his belief was this was the best team. We looked at everything."

The 23-year-old right-hander could appear in their opening Championship game against Sussex on Sunday.
And he will also be available for subsequent matches against Essex, Derbyshire and Leicestershire.
The opener marked his first-class debut for Nottinghamshire in 2014 by scoring a century against Sussex.
However, he missed much of last season after suffering knee-ligament damage in Australia.
He recently made a century for Nottinghamshire against Hampshire during a pre-season tour to Barbados.
Stephen O'Brien, the UN humanitarian co-ordinator, said the militant group's actions had forced thousands to flee and left unprecedented numbers in need.
The UN estimates that more than nine million people in the region need humanitarian assistance.
Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State.
Mr O'Brien told the UN Security Council that Nigeria was bearing "the brunt of the crisis", with Nigerians accounting for seven of the nine million people in need.
He said Boko Haram's "heinous, barbaric and unconscionable" violence had led to serious human rights violations in the country.
"From January to June 2016, more than 50 children have been coerced to carry out suicide bombings across the four countries," he said.
UN political chief Jeffrey Feltman said Boko Haram remained a threat to stability in the region, despite the group being pushed back from some areas.
Both men warned the council that the fight against the group was suffering from a lack of funding.
The militant group continues to target countries in the region, including Nigeria and Cameroon, with bomb and suicide attacks.
The UN's children's agency Unicef warned last week that almost 250,000 children in parts of Nigeria's Borno state, formerly controlled by Boko Haram, were suffering from severe malnutrition.
Officers converged on the Robroyston area of the city at about 10:55. They later cordoned off Robroyston Road.
Police have now confirmed that "vehicle tyre deflation rounds were discharged directly into vehicle tyres".
The nature of the operation has yet to be disclosed but the use of the shotgun rounds will be referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner.
In a statement, Police Scotland said: "Around 1055 hours on Friday 30 September 2016, Police Scotland officers carried out an intelligence-led operation in the Robroyston area of Glasgow.
"As part of the operation, vehicle tyre deflation rounds were discharged directly into vehicle tyres.
"This is a recognised and practiced tactic which is used specifically to disable a vehicle and was deployed in order to reduce any potential wider impact to the public and to maximise their safety."
The statement added: "As a result, and in line with the routine procedure, this incident will be referred to PIRC for review."
A spokesman for the PIRC said: "Police Scotland has notified the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner of an incident in Robroyston, Glasgow, on 30 September 2016, where officers fired tyre deflation rounds (TDR) at a vehicle as part of an ongoing police operation.
"The PIRC will assess the circumstances of the police use of TDRs before determining whether there is a need to investigate further."

John Fahey believes Armstrong ducked key issues relating to his cheating in a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Both Fahey and the United States Anti-Doping Authority (Usada) want the disgraced cyclist to explain the full extent of his doping "under oath".
"That is his way forward if he is serious," Fahey told the BBC.
"Don't go on a show with a woman who will give benign questions, lead you to the answers and not follow up when you don't answer properly.
"But is he going to do it? Probably not. If he was prepared to do it, he probably wouldn't go down the Oprah Winfrey route in the first place."
Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles in 2012 after he was found guilty of doping, but had always maintained his innocence until he confessed to cheating in the first of a two-part interview with Winfrey, recorded on Monday and broadcast at 02:00 GMT on Friday.
If he wants to help cycling and redeem himself, he should expose all, and not just conveniently give a few titbits that really tell us what we already know
The American cyclist revealed he took performance-enhancing drugs in each of his Tour wins from 1999-2005 but said doping was "part of the process required to win the Tour".
He also said he did not feel he was cheating at the time and viewed it as a "level playing field" but now admits that "all the fault and blame" should lie with him and he was a bully who "turned on" people he did not like.
Armstrong added that he would now co-operate with official inquiries into doping in cycling.
But Wada president Fahey has called on the 41-year-old to name names.
"I think his credibility has suffered," Fahey said. "If he is serious about redemption, he will go before an appropriate tribunal, give evidence under oath, subject himself to cross-examination, name names, say who in the entourage was helping him cheat, who supplied the drugs, which officials warned him he might be tested and who in the way of riders was associated with it.
"He claims he was doing what everyone else was doing. If he wants to help cycling and redeem himself, he should expose all, and not just conveniently give a few titbits that really tell us what we already know."
Usada chief executive Travis Tygart has also called on Armstrong to explain himself before a court.
"If he's sincere in his desire to correct past mistakes, he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities," Tygart said.
Usada was the agency that brought the charges against Armstrong after federal prosecutors in California dropped their investigation into alleged doping.
The American filed a lawsuit against Usada last July, accusing them of "corrupt inducements" to other cyclists to testify against him before stating in August that he would not fight doping charges filed against him. He was subsequently stripped of his titles since 1995 but maintained his innocence up until the interview with Winfrey.
"Lance Armstrong finally acknowledged that his cycling career was built on a powerful combination of doping and deceit," added Tygart.
"His admission that he doped throughout his career is a small step in the right direction."
Cycling's world governing body UCI came under scrutiny in the interview. It had been alleged that Armstrong had paid UCI to keep quiet about positive drugs tests.
But the president of the organisation Pat McQuaid said Armstrong's confession revealed there was no collusion.
"Armstrong's decision finally to confront his past is an important step forward on the long road to repairing the damage that has been caused to cycling and to restoring confidence in the sport," he said.
"Armstrong has confirmed there was no collusion or conspiracy between the UCI and Lance Armstrong. There were no positive tests which were covered up and he has confirmed that the donations made to the UCI were to assist in the fight against doping.
"Finally, we note that Lance Armstrong expressed a wish to participate in a truth and reconciliation process, which we would welcome."
But Fahey criticised the UCI for failing to do enough to tackle doping in the sport, and questioned McQuaid's future.
"They have got to make some moves that will change the way the sport operates, and if that involves current office bearers, so be it," Fahey said.
Armstrong faces a series of potential legal issues in the wake of his confession, although he would be unlikely to face perjury charges, despite making sworn testimony in a 2005 court case that he had never used performance-enhancing drugs.
New York defence attorney Stuart Slotnick told BBC Sport earlier this month that, under United States law, the Statute of Limitations means any prosecution must be launched within five years of the offence.
Armstrong said during his interview with Winfrey that he had not doped since 2005.
However, his former team-mate Floyd Landis - who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title for doping - has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit accusing Armstrong of defrauding the US Postal Service, which paid more than £18.7m to sponsor the team Armstrong competed for.
In addition, the Sunday Times is already suing Armstrong for £1m over a libel payment to him in 2004 after the newspaper alleged he had cheated.
Livestrong, the non-profit organisation set up by Armstrong to help those affected by cancer, said it was disappointed the American "misled" people during his career.
The Texan, who won his own battle with testicular cancer, stepped down as chairman after Usada published its findings.
"We at the Livestrong Foundation are disappointed by the news that Lance Armstrong misled people during and after his cycling career, including us," said the Livestrong statement.
"Earlier this week, Lance apologised to our staff and we accepted his apology in order to move on and chart a strong, independent course.
"We look forward to devoting our full energy to our mission of helping people not only fight and survive cancer, but also thrive in life after cancer.
"Even in the wake of our disappointment, we also express our gratitude to Lance as a survivor for the drive, devotion and spirit he brought to serving cancer patients and the entire cancer community."

Two headers from Michail Antonio had put the hosts firmly in control with 33 minutes played.
However, Odion Ighalo's deflected shot and a wonderful effort from Troy Deeney levelled it before the break.
Etienne Capoue's powerful half-volley put the visitors in front and Jose Holebas sealed Watford's first victory of the season with a shot from 18 yards out.

There had been little indication of what was to follow when Antonio headed home Dimitri Payet's rabona cross with just over half an hour played.
The Hornets were utterly outplayed in the opening exchanges of this game and were lucky not to be further behind, Daryl Janmaat inexplicably passing the ball against his own post when under no pressure.
Ighalo got the ball rolling for his side when he drifted inside from the left and his low shot went in after a kind deflection from James Collins.
Collins' afternoon went from bad to worse just before the break when a breakdown in communication saw the Wales international head the ball over the onrushing Adrian and Deeney picked up the loose ball before curling home a superb shot from just inside the area.
The Hammers had half-time to regroup but simply could not match Watford's intensity in the second half.
Capoue scored his third goal of the season when a deep ball came to him at the back post and Holebas grabbed his first goal in English football with a shot from the edge of the area that Adrian should have done more to keep out.
From there on in the Hornets had further chances to add to their score but Adrian kept out efforts from Isaac Success and Roberto Pereyra.
It has not been a great start to the season for the Hammers.
Slaven Bilic's side were knocked out of the Europa League by Romanian side Astra Giurgiu for the second season running and they have now lost three of their first four Premier League matches.
Bilic gave a first start of the season to Payet and for the first 30 minutes the Frenchman was absolutely magnificent.
His corner was headed in by Antonio as the hosts took an early lead and he then set up the second with possibly the best pass of the campaign so far.
He turned Holebas inside out before stopping and sending over a rabona cross with his right foot that Antonio converted for a fourth league goal of the season.
After that Payet faded as his team totally lost control of the match.
Like many of his team-mates debutant Simone Zaza started brightly, releasing Antonio with an overhead kick with just his second touch in English football, but by the time he was subbed off on 77 minutes he had become an isolated figure.
Hammers striker Andy Carroll is still a couple of weeks away from returning and, on this evidence, they desperately need his presence to bolster their attack.
BBC pundit Alan Shearer on Match of the Day
Taking nothing away from Watford, who showed great character to come back, but the defending was comical.
For the second goal, it was laughable defending. West Ham were all over the place. Watford were superb in coming back though.
West Ham have pledged a "full review" of security at the London Stadium after fighting broke out during the match.
Trouble flared between rival supporters and the club later released a statement citing "zero tolerance" on fan violence. It said offenders would be "banned for life from any West Ham fixture".
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic: "It was a shock to be 2-2 at half-time but there were still 45 minutes to go.
"We let them score two goals in the second half without putting them under pressure. It was too easy for them.
"We can not defend like that or we are not going to win a single game.

Watford boss Walter Mazzarri said: "We didn't start very well but we started to concentrate better and the result came.
"We changed a couple of things in our formation at half-time and that allowed us to not risk as much.
"It was a great win but I look at the way we played and we have to correct the mistakes we made.
"This win gives us the confidence to know we are a very good team and can go on to have a very good season."

The fun event is to promote the Winter Olympic Games in the country next year.
Around three thousand people had a go on the slide, including 23-year-old Lee who said: "I am having so much fun. It's very nice to come and play at a place not far from my home. I wish this kind of event takes place everyday, I'll come every single day."
The Games return to South Korea next year for the first time since the 1988 summer Olympics took place in Seoul.
The two-month-old birds at Loch Arkaig in Lochaber are believed to be a male and a female.
Woodland Trust Scotland has come up with the naming competition as part of its efforts to raise funds to buy Loch Arkaig Pine Forest.
Forestry Commission Scotland is selling the woodland.
Parts of the forest still bear the scars of a fire that broke out during commando training in World War Two.
Scorched tree trunks still stand in the woods that in war-time formed part of a large area near Fort William used for secret training of Allied commandos.
Woodland Trust Scotland is working with the group Arkaig Community Forest on the bid to purchase the woodland.
The wood includes areas of ancient Caledonian forest, which provides habitat for birds such as Scottish crossbill.
They have already had a setback from the European Central Bank, which says it will stop accepting Greek government bonds in return for lending money to Greek banks.
So what do we know so far about Greece's plans to cut its debt, which stands at more than €320bn, around 174% of Greece's economic output?
Greece does not want to extend the programme or receive new payments under the existing programme, which ends on 28 February.
But it does want to receive the profits the European Central Bank (ECB) has made on buying Greek government bonds, government debt traded in the markets. This is money which has been promised to Greece but not yet handed over and is worth €1.9bn.
Greece will not run out of money straight away. The government says it can pay the bills until June when a payment to the ECB of €3.5bn is due on some of those bonds the ECB holds. Tax revenues are now enough to cover government spending apart from debt payments - it's called "primary surplus".
But the end of February could still be problematic. The ECB could cut back on the loans it and the national central bank in Athens make to Greek banks, if the government does not get an extension to the bailout programme. In view of the uncertainty, the ECB has already decided to stop accepting Greek government bonds as collateral for lending to banks.
Key dates for Greek government's diary
ECB money - called reserves - is one of the foundations of a banking system, so they always need it. But the banks need to borrow more now because deposits are being withdrawn. Private sector deposits at Greek banks fell by €4bn in December according to official figures and banking sources say they fell €11bn in January.
So far the ECB has taken steps that make it a bit harder and more expensive to borrow central bank money.
But if the ECB pulls the plug completely, that could lead to the banks failing. That in turn would mean a severe financial crisis in Greece. The government would then have to consider reintroducing the drachma or draconian restrictions on the movement of funds out of Greece. Most analysts think it won't come to that, but it is conceivable.
If the money from the ECB stops, Greek banks can get funds from the national central bank in the form of emergency liquidity assistance (ELA). But the ECB can veto that and has threatened to do so in the past, ahead of bailout agreements for Ireland and Cyprus.
It has not been spelled out in detail but reports suggest the Greek government would like payments on some of the debt to be linked to Greek economic growth - the more it grows, the more interest is paid. And then bonds held by the ECB would be replaced by "perpetual bonds". Regular interest would be paid indefinitely but they would never be repaid.
Greece's new leaders also want to use Treasury bills - short-term government bonds that do not pay interest until maturity - as a source of funds. The government wants the current €15bn cap on T-bills to be raised by €8bn. But the ECB is reluctant to allow this, according to the Financial Times.
Reports in the Greek media also suggest the government might after all be willing to tap funds agreed as part of the controversial European bailout programme that have not yet been paid.
Meanwhile, there are reports that Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis wants a so-called called "bridging" programme - a four month period in which the ECB would continue to support the Greek banks while a fuller reform programme is developed.
There are options that could ease the repayment burden - reducing interest rates and extending the repayment period or perhaps the debt swap envisaged by the government.
It is possible to argue, though not very convincingly, that it isn't really debt forgiveness, which makes it easier for Germany and others to accept. It has been done before for Greece.
The Greek government's financing proposals are part of wider plan presented to the eurozone finance ministers. Other elements include less stringent budget targets and a new set of economic reforms to be discussed with the Organisation for Economics Cooperation and Development.
Other eurozone finance ministers are very wary of such departures from the plans agreed with previous Greek governments.
There is a large number of different moving parts - political, financial and economic - and a great deal of uncertainty about what will emerge. None of the key players wants Greece to leave the euro, but it might just happen. One German expert said the probability of "Grexit" has climbed from virtually zero to 20%. In other words, still unlikely but certainly possible.
A lawyer at the ECB has suggested there is no legal basis for Greece being forced out of the euro. And if it were to leave the euro, under the law as it is, it would also have to leave the EU.
In practice, however, a country whose banks were cut off by the ECB would have little choice but to go back to its own currency or introduce capital controls.
The collection of clothes includes shoes by Jimmy Choo and suits by Dolce and Gabbana.
The money raised from the sale at the British Red Cross shop in Chelsea will be used to help victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Mrs Beckham said others should donate clothes for the cause.
Earlier on Friday, the National Disaster Agency in the Philippines announced that the death toll of the typhoon which ripped through the country on 8 November had risen to 5,209, with many more missing.
Donations from the British public and the government in the aftermath of the typhoon have topped £100m.
Mrs Beckham said: "Everyone has something in their closet they were holding on to - a dress, suit, or pair of shoes they thought they might wear again.
"Dig them out, bag them up, drop them off and give someone else the chance to buy them, raising much-needed funds for the Red Cross aid effort."
Ahead of the sale, Victoria Beckham tweeted pictures of a large pile of designer shoes that she was donating to be sold at the shop, which is located at 69-71 Old Church Street in Chelsea.
The shop operated a one in one out policy, with a maximum of 50 people allowed in the shop at any one time.
Prices ranged from £25 for ties and belts to £250 for jackets.
Mrs Beckham's clothes were a UK size four and her shoes a size four or four-and-a-half.
Some customers queued for more than an hour, and each person was allowed to purchase only one item from the 20 boxes of goods donated.
The charity's director of fundraising, Mark Astarita, said the Beckhams' donation "will enable us to raise significant funds towards the enormous humanitarian operation currently under way".
He told BBC London: "One of Victoria's dresses will buy 50 blankets; one of David's suits will buy 14 tarpaulins. It really can make a difference to people in the Philippines."
He said he hoped the sale would have raised £40,000 by the time the shop closes at 20:00 GMT.
Customers at British Red Cross shops can specifically request their donations be used to aid the victims of Typhoon Haiyan as part of the charity's Shop Drop for the Philippines campaign.
The European police force said 718 jihadist terror suspects were arrested, up from 687 in 2015 and 395 in 2014.
However, the number of jihadist attacks fell from 17 in 2015 to 13 in 2016, of which six were linked to so-called Islamic State (IS), a report said.
The report also noted a rise in violent assaults by right-wing groups.
In its annual EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report, Europol said that in 2016 there was a total of 142 "failed, foiled and completed attacks" reported by eight member states that included attacks by jihadists, nationalists and other groups.
It said 142 people died in terrorist attacks and 379 people were injured, and that nearly all fatalities and most of the injuries were caused by jihadists.
The EU's security commissioner, Julian King, said the figures reinforced the need for closer co-operation in intelligence sharing.
"Terrorists do not respect or recognise borders," he said.

The 62-page report also said that women were playing an increasing role in jihadist attacks.
"Female militant jihadists in the West perceive fewer obstacles to playing an operative role in a terrorist attack than men, and successful or prevented attacks carried out by women in Western countries may act as an inspiration to others," it said.
The report noted that the largest number of attacks last year were carried out by "ethno-nationalist and separatist extremists".
Attacks by left-wing extremists have been rising since 2014, the report said, reaching a total of 27 in 2016 of which 16 were reported by Italy.
But it is important.
As veteran Labour MP Frank Field writes in Blue Labour, Forging A New Politics: "Blue Labour poses the most fundamental of challenges to the Blairite electoral strategy that, despite changes in personnel, remains in place."
He continues: "Had the leadership given serious thought to Blue Labour, its worry, if not annoyance, would have quickly turned to alarm."
It may, given time, display the level of alarm he thinks is appropriate.
Win or lose the election these ideas will be in play, for in these deep and thoughtful essays I hear the future echo of battles yet to be fought.
Through them runs a steel core, a determination to remake and remodel the Labour Party.
There was a feeling that after Ed Miliband's victory Blue Labour would have the ear of the leadership.
It does - but it is less certain if it has the leader's heart or mind.
Blue Labour
The presence in the shadow cabinet of Blue Labour guru, Jon Cruddas is important.
He is also co-ordinator of Labour's Policy Review, and the party's recent tactical policy-making suggests there is still a battle for the strategic vision.
Blue Labour preaches a complex gospel, rooted in Christian socialism, urging greater understanding of Labour's working class roots and lost supporters - and their small 'c' conservatism - while rejecting big state solutions in favour of community co-operation.
It has a strong sense that politics is a struggle between right and wrong, and that love and work are more important than economic reward. These essays abound with religious phrases like "covenant" and "fall and redemption".
Editor Adrian Pabst writes: "Far beyond any other group, Blue Labour has questioned the current consensus at the heart of the Labour Party and British politics - the fusion of social with economic liberalisation under the joint aegis of the central bureaucratic state and the global 'free market'."
This suggestion that Blue Labour stands four square against some of Labour's most sacred beliefs is not just bluster.
The recent row over the chancellor's plan to give Greater Manchester control of £6bn of NHS money has divided the party.
Manchester's Labour MPs are split, while most councillors in the area are for it, and the shadow health secretary claims it will create a two-tier NHS.
While this sort of devolution may not be enough for Blue Labour it seems in line with what Cruddas writes in his chapter The Common Good In An Age of Austerity.
He says: "No more top-down reorganisation. Instead, locally run and organised schools, hospitals, house-building programmes and habitats.
"We need to forge co-operative ties with ethical enterprise - such as co-operatives, mutuals, and social businesses.
"Combined local authorities will be given greater control over tax revenues to invest, grow their revenues and fund their own priorities. By decentralising both taxes and services, we can simultaneously get rid of public debt and increase popular power."
Mr Cruddas is one of the more fascinating Labour politicians, as set out in this brilliant article.
Frustratingly for journalists like me, he rarely gives interviews, so I don't know what exactly he makes of the Manchester row, but earlier he suggested the chancellor had been "agile" and made a "land grab" for Labour policy.
His usual public reticence may increase the respect of colleagues who despair at the sight of big egos promoting themselves, sometimes at the expense of the party.
I don't know him, so could be wide of the mark, but his history suggests he is that rare thing - a politician genuinely more interested in the victory of his ideas than the furtherance of his career.
But the very belief in policy so at odds with the consensus, suggests Blue Labour will not keep its powder dry for ever.
If Labour loses in May it is obvious there will be further soul searching about its meaning and purpose.
But even if it wins it is likely to be by such a small margin that the debate about how to extend its appeal will be urgent.
In government what policies to stress becomes more than academic.
Immigration is another issue where clashes are certain.
Central to Blue Labour is not only the contention that Labour has abandoned its core voters, but that it misunderstands them.
Frank Field insists that many working class voters reject his party because they find its policies "repulsive", rewarding the "social misfit".
"They do not see Labour as being committed to the flag, ie being proud of the country; as having a clear stand in defending the country's borders, ie they are soft on immigration; or as promoting a welfare state where rewards have to be earned, i.e. they cater largely for the freewheelers, rather than hard-working families."
This raises the suspicion among some of Blue Labour's critics that it summons working class values merely in order to enshrine traditional prejudices as policy.
They claim that this could very easily lead to a much darker hue than blue. Of course that depends what solutions are on offer.
But it points to a paradox - the attempt to appeal to existing, small 'c', working class attitudes towards nation, welfare and immigration within a framework of working class self-help and community solidarity that may no longer exist.
It is indeed a good job that paradox is loved by Blue Labour.
Take the introduction by the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. It is intellectually stimulating, even exciting, challenging what he calls the "cultural muddle" that assumes "the 'starting position' for human identity is a solitary, speechless individual who moves out from primitive isolation to negotiate cautiously with other similar creatures".
He goes on: "We ought to be more than ever alert to the fact that our self-awareness is shaped by the inseparable awareness of other subjects, that projection into the life of the other is there from the start, that how others speak to us, imagine us, nurture or fail to nurture us, is not an 'extra' to our sense of who or what we are but completely woven into the very idea of being a 'self'."
It is thought-provoking stuff, but I doubt it would go down a bomb on the doorstep in Dagenham.
This is indeed this the paradox.
Part of the Blue Labour equation is not strikingly new. Much of the language seems very Blairite.
What is "covenant" but a reincarnation of those aged sound bites "rights and responsibilities" and "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"?
These old Blairisms have a very Blue ring to them.
However, Blair's appeal to Sun readers was pragmatic to the point of cynicism, Blue Labour, acknowledged romantics, seem to want to draw in these highly individualist and atomised voters by re-positioning them as Mirror readers of yesteryear, thirsting for community and social justice.
If this is more than academic meanderings, it is a grand challenge - a desire for acts of summoning, creation and will, that may yet play a big part in the unfolding Labour drama.
Researchers from Oxford and Bristol universities looked at the IQ scores of 4,000 children as well as recording the alcohol intake of their mothers.
They found "moderate" alcohol intake of one to six units a week during pregnancy affected IQ.
Experts said the effect was small, but reinforced the need to avoid alcohol in pregnancy.
Previous studies have produced inconsistent and confusing evidence on whether low to moderate levels of alcohol are harmful in pregnancy, largely because it is difficult to separate out other factors that may have an effect such as the mother's age and education.
But this research, published in the PLOS One journal, ruled that out by looking at changes in the genes that are not connected to social or lifestyle effects.
The study found that four genetic variants in alcohol-metabolising genes in children and their mothers were strongly related to lower IQ at age eight.
On average, the child's IQ was almost two points lower per genetic modification they possessed.

BBC Health: Alcohol in pregnancy
But this effect was only seen among the children of women who drank between one and six drinks a week during pregnancy and not among women who abstained when they were pregnant.
The researchers said although a causal effect could not be proven, the way they had done the study strongly suggested that it was exposure to alcohol in the womb that was responsible for the differences in child IQ.
Dr Ron Gray, from Oxford University, who led the research added that although the differences appeared small, they may well be significant and that lower IQ had been shown to be associated with being socially disadvantaged, having poorer health and even dying younger.
"It is for individual women to decide whether or not to drink during pregnancy, we just want to provide the evidence.
"But I would recommend avoiding alcohol. Why take the risk?"
A Department of Health spokesman said that since 2007 their advice had been that women who are trying to conceive or are pregnant should avoid alcohol.
But Dr Clare Tower, consultant in obstetrics and fetal maternal medicine, at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, stressed that women who have had the occasional alcoholic drink in pregnancy should not be overly alarmed by the findings.
"Current UK advice is that the safest course of action is abstinence during pregnancy.
"The finding of this study would concur that this is undoubtedly the safest advice."
But she pointed out that another recent study had found no effect on IQ at five years.
"It is likely therefore, that any impact is likely small and not seen in all women."
The US Air Force (USAF) announced in January it would leave RAF Mildenhall, RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth by 2020.
The bases will then return to Ministry of Defence (MoD) control.
The MoD said the general election and budget reviews could affect whether the bases remain in military use or are used for other purposes.
The USAF leases RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and the two other bases in Cambridgeshire from the MoD.
The Mildenhall, Alconbury and Molesworth (MAM) working group was set up featuring local councils, the MoD, the USAF and business groups to look at the bases' futures.
James Waters, Conservative leader of Forest Heath District Council, said: "At the first meeting [the MoD] were saying it would be 12-18 months before they would make a decision, but that was nowhere near good enough.
"At the last meeting they said they'd have a decision by September, which is very positive.
"They're more than willing to help us get a better understanding of what facilities are on the base and what we may be able to use within our communities."
Matthew Hancock, Conservative MP for West Suffolk and MAM chairman, said: "We have got five years before the Americans are going to leave, so we've got the time, but we've got to make use of the time.
"Six months is fine, but we've got to nail down what the MoD want and what the opportunities are."
An MoD spokeswoman said: "It is the MoD's aspiration to make an announcement on the future of Mildenhall, Alconbury and Molesworth within the next six months.
"However, the election, the forthcoming Strategic Defence and Security Review and future budget settlement will all potentially impact on our ongoing planning."

Police did not suspect Gavin Kelly, 36, when they bumped into him at the foot of his block of flats in Manchester.
When casually asked if there was anything unusual about the building, Kelly blurted out: "Yes, obviously, upstairs in the flat - the coke."
At the Court of Appeal in London, his term was cut to six-and-a-half years.
Greater Manchester Police were actually raiding another property in August 2016 when they came across Kelly in Rochdale Road, Blackley.
He then stunned the officers by making his impromptu confession.
Kelly even gave officers a tour of his flat, pointing out where he had hidden 1kg (2lb) of high purity cocaine and £70,000 in cash.
At Manchester Crown Court last October he admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply and having criminal property.
He was sentenced to eight years, a term his lawyers argued was unduly harsh.
Despite the fact Kelly has previous convictions, including possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine, judges agreed his unusual candour should be rewarded.
Judge Richard Griffith-Jones QC said: "We have concluded that, taking all the factors into account, the sentence should have been one of six years and six months."
The record label claims the user uploaded the track Heathens, by band Twenty One Pilots, from Suicide Squad: The Album, months ahead of its planned commercial release.
Atlantic Records started legal action demanding Reddit hand over the user's details and net address.
The website refused, saying the claimant was on a "fishing expedition".
Details of the case were first reported by the news site TorrentFreak.
The unreleased track, on the soundtrack album to the film Suicide Squad, had been issued to:
All were "contractually obligated and/or under a fiduciary obligation" not to reveal the song's existence, Atlantic said.
The file was initially uploaded to anonymous Slovakian file-hosting service Dropfile.to, before a Reddit user posted the same file on the forum under the name twentyoneheathens on 15 June.
Atlantic attempted to get the files removed from the internet, but conceded it could not prevent their wider distribution.
The individual track was released officially the next day, nearly two months ahead of plan.
The record label then sued, claiming the leak had caused it substantial harm in terms of lost sales.
It demanded Reddit hand over the internet protocol (IP) address and other relevant information to help identify the reported leaker.
Reddit refused, saying Atlantic had not outlined what steps it would take if the IP address was linked to somebody who was not one of its own employees.
For its part, Dropfile says it does not store users' IP addresses and that files expire within 24 hours on its homepage.
A Dropfile representative told the BBC the site had not been contacted by Atlantic at any point.
Suicide Squad: The Album was released on 5 August and sold about 182,000 copies within its first week shooting to number one on the US Billboard 200 chart.
The court's decision is pending.
The sites will display a variety of messages, or simulate the potential effects of losing the basic principle of all internet traffic being treated equally.
The US communications regulator earlier this year voted to remove an Obama-era rule that would prevent the prioritisation - or "throttling" - of data, as well as other measures campaigners consider to be detrimental to the internet.
Opponents to net neutrality say it stifles innovation and discourages investment in telecoms infrastructure.
Among the companies protesting, the headliners include Google, Facebook, Amazon, Reddit, AirBnB, Twitter and Snapchat.
Crowdfunding site Kickstarter will be involved, as will craft-selling site Etsy and dating app OkCupid. PornHub, one of the world's most visited sites, will also be taking part.
"Internet service providers could create special fast lanes for content providers willing to pay more," said Corey Price, vice president of PornHub.
"That means slow streaming, which, especially in regards to online porn, is quite problematic as you can imagine."
Campaigners told the BBC around 80,000 websites and services in all are taking part in the co-ordinated action that is designed to draw attention to a public consultation about the proposed rule reversal.
"What we want the FCC to hear, and we want members of Congress to hear, is that net neutrality is wildly popular, which it is, and we want them to stop trying to murder it," said Sean Vitka, a lawyer for pro-net neutrality groups Demand Progress and Fight for the Future.
"It stops large companies, like internet service providers, from controlling who wins or loses on the internet. There'd be nothing to stop your ISP stopping the next Facebook, the next Google, from accessing customers equally.
"If a new company can't access companies on the same terms as the incumbents they're not going to have the chance to thrive."
This kind of protest technique has been effective in the past.
When numerous firms went "dark" in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act, which they argued was a threat to free speech, it led to the bill being withdrawn.
But protest groups face a tougher battle in convincing the Republican-controlled FCC headed by new commissioner Ajit Pai.
Earlier this year the department described President Obama's rule as risking "online investment and innovation, threatening the very open internet it purported to preserve".
It added: "Requiring ISPs to divert resources to comply with unnecessary and broad new regulatory requirements threatens to take away from their ability to make investments that benefit consumers."
Promoting investment in infrastructure is the strongest of the anti-net neutrality arguments, with major telecoms companies arguing that the Googles and Facebooks of the world would not be able to run were it not for the high-speed internet connections offered by internet service providers.
Campaigners have countered this by suggesting it is the lure of enticing premium services like Netflix that tempt users into paying more for better internet access.
A more curious position came from mobile carrier AT&T which said it was supporting the protest - despite in the past being a vocal opponent of net neutrality.
"We agree that no company should be allowed to block content or throttle the download speeds of content in a discriminatory manner," the firm said.
"So, we are joining this effort because it's consistent with AT&T's proud history of championing our customers' right to an open internet and access to the internet content, applications, and devices of their choosing."
Campaign groups gave the company little credit, pointing out that it has sought to put in place data prioritisation, which would allow web companies to pay AT&T in order to get priority - i.e. quicker - access to their users.
"AT&T are lying when they say they support net neutrality, while actively opposing it," said Evan Greer, director of Fight for the Future, in an interview with tech news site Ars Technica.

Warrington says he is "bored," of Selby, who he believes could lose his world title in his mandatory defence against American Eric Hunter.
Warrington defends his WBC International Featherweight title against Hisashi Amagasa at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on April 16.
"I really want the Selby fight, but it's boring me now," said Warrington.
Warrington has been linked with a summer contest against Selby, most likely to be at Leeds United's Elland Road ground.
Selby last fought in America on 15 October when he retained his title by beating Fernando Montiel in a scrappy contest having become Wales' 12th world champion by beating Evgeny Gradovich.
No date has been set for Selby's clash with Hunter, but it could be an undercard fight on the 9 April bill at London's O2 Arena, headlined by Anthony Joshua fighting for a world title.
"There's a real chance Selby against Hunter could feature," said promoter Eddie Hearn.
"Over the next week or so we've got to decide who goes where, and make sure we've got a really strong undercard and some big names on 9 April for a support act to for the main event."
Warrington feels Selby has been below his best since capturing the world title in May, 2015.
"Before he went to America to fight Montiel he wanted to crack the States and wasn't interested in me, but he boxed poorly against Montiel and now he is saying he will come to Leeds and chin me," Warrington said about his rival.
"It's becoming boring now. Hunter is a dangerous fight and if he (Selby) boxes like he did against Montiel he'll lose his belt.
"So let's keep winning, everyone wants the fight and it'd be a big occasion in Leeds."
The Reverend Stephen Sizer, vicar of Christ Church, in Virginia Water, Surrey, posted a link on Facebook to an article which said the official narrative of the atrocity was "absurd".
And along with the post he reportedly wrote: "It raises so many questions."
He later removed the link and has apologised for the "distress caused".
In a statement on the Diocese of Guildford's website, Mr Sizer said he had "never believed Israel or any other country was complicit in the terrorist atrocity of 9/11".
"My sharing of this material was ill-considered and misguided," he wrote.
"I very much regret and apologise for the distress caused by the sharing on Facebook of a link to an article about 9/11 from Wikispooks.
"It was particularly insensitive in that last week coincided with Holocaust Memorial Day. I removed the link as soon as I received adverse feedback, and realised that offence had been caused. "
Mr Sizer said he would not use social media or blogs "until further notice".
The diocese welcomed his apology but refused to comment further.
BBC religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt said Mr Sizer had a history of disputes with Jewish community leaders over blog postings on Israel and Zionism.
Almost 3,000 people died in the 9/11 attacks in the US in 2001.
The device partially detonated when the man drove over a speed ramp at Hillsborough Drive, off the Woodstock Road, at 07:10 GMT on Friday.
The man's injuries are believed to be serious but not life-threatening.
It is understood the prison officer works in Hydebank Wood Young Offenders' Centre in Belfast.
Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers told BBC's The Stephen Nolan Show that the attack was "a demonstration of how lethal the terrorist threat continues to be in Northern Ireland".
"Thankfully these incidents happen very rarely but that is only because of the outstanding work of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and their security partners in preventing these attacks from happening most of the time," she added.
Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said it was a "disgraceful and despicable attack".
"Our thoughts and prayers are with this senior prison officer and his family as he is treated for his injuries in hospital," they said.
"We join all right-thinking people in condemning these cowardly actions. As a prison officer, he is someone who serves and protects our community and we are united in our rejection of this attack."
Residents living in the area were left shocked and confused.
A man walking his daughter to school said he heard a really loud bang on Friday morning.
"I thought it was possibly a skip had fallen over, some houses being worked on down the street," he said.
He said the possibility that it could be a bomb "did not enter his mind" and he thought it was related to construction work on the street.
Finlay Spratt from the Prison Officers Association said prison officers had continued to be targeted since the ceasefires and the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
"There is no let up for prison officers, we can't live a normal life, we're not allowed to live a normal life by these thugs," he said.
"It doesn't matter how often you condemn it, it just seems to go on and on and they're attacking people who are serving the community, all the community."
A number of residents have been moved from their homes at Hillsborough Drive and an emergency evacuation centre has been opened at the Salvation Army on the Cregagh Road.
The Woodstock Road has been closed at its junctions with Omeath Street and Ravenhill Avenue.
Traffic in the area is being diverted and the road is expected to remain closed for some time.
As a result of the incident, Euston Street Primary School in east Belfast is advising parents that the school can be accessed from Castlereagh Road.
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt said he "utterly condemned" the attack.
He said there was "no place for terrorists in my vision of a new Northern Ireland".
Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly said: "There can be no place for such attacks in our society.
"Those behind attacks like this represent no one and have nothing to offer the community."
Justice Minister David Ford said those responsible for the attack had "shown an utter disregard for human life".
"Those involved in carrying out this misguided attack and those who planned it should see the futility of their actions," he said.
DUP MLA Robin Newton said the person or persons who planted the device "must be condemned by all right thinking people".
"This is a despicable act and it is fortunate that we are not talking about serious injury or even a fatality today," he said.
The police have issued an appeal for anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the Hillsborough Drive area or surrounding area over the past 24 hours to contact them.
The Labour Party has launched an investigation into the allegations in former Labour leadership contender Angela Eagle's constituency.
The Wallasey MP said "bullying, intimidation, misogyny and homophobia have no place in the Labour Party".
Kathy Runswick, chair of the CLP, said she was "astonished" at the suspension.
A North West Labour spokesman said: "Any complaints of bullying or intimidation and allegations of misconduct are always taken very seriously."
Wallasey CLP's vice chair, Paul Davies, who denies any intimidation took place, said no allegations had been put to the local party.
All Labour Party constituency and branch meetings across the country are currently suspended while the leadership contest takes place but other CLPs are still able to meet in certain exempt situations.
In the case of Wallasey, however, the group cannot meet under any circumstances until the internal investigation into bullying is finished.
Ms Eagle, who pulled out of Labour's leadership race on Tuesday, said "it is right" that the party investigates.
"I hope that the issues can be resolved, and that we can have an active, inclusive and effective local Labour Party that can tackle the real problems faced in our local community", she said.
It is believed that complaints about an annual general meeting last month were what prompted the suspension.
Mr Davies said he was "not surprised" at the suspension because "I think that Labour at the moment, or some of the officials, are trying to shut down all democracy in the party."
"We had the temerity to say that we did not really favour a challenge to [Labour leader] Jeremy Corbyn so they shut us down."
He said the only indication the CLP had been suspended was the secretary finding she was unable to log into her Labour account on Wednesday morning.
Ms Eagle has faced unrest among some of the Wallasey CLP since she indicated that she might challenge Mr Corbyn.
A window was smashed at the constituency office building last week after she announced her intention to run.
Three other CLPs have been suspended from meeting in all circumstances, in Gorton, Brighton and Hove and South Shields.
The head of politics at the University of Liverpool, Stuart Wilks-Heeg, said the situation was highly unusual.
"It really is exceptionally rare that a political party has to suspend local parties.
"To have four local parties completely suspended simultaneously, and also to have a generalised suspension in CLPs meeting, really is unprecedented and unheard of."
The decision to suspend the party will not affect the rights of individual members to vote in the leadership election.
The business secretary said ministers wanted to change rules that allowed EU migrants to receive £700 a month in tax credits - twice what Germany paid.
He told the Andrew Marr Show: "That's the kind of thing we need to change. It's a key part of our negotiation."
Labour's acting leader Harriet Harman said she also backed a rule change.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who is due to hold talks with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker for talks on Monday, has pledged to renegotiate a "better deal" for the UK and hold an "in/out" referendum by the end of 2017.
Mr Javid told Andrew Marr he was confident the government would achieve the new deal it wants as the election of a Conservative government had concentrated the minds of Britain's EU partners.
"We are going to need some patience but we will get there," Mr Javid said, especially on getting changes to things like the welfare payments available to new arrivals from elsewhere in Europe.
Mr Javid said EU migrants could currently receive £700 per month in tax credits, twice what they would receive in Germany. He said "that's the kind of thing we need to change. It's a very key part of our negotiation."
Ms Harman, who confirmed that Labour would now back the EU referendum bill, which paves the way for the vote by the end of 2017, said Labour supported government plans to reform welfare so people contributed before they were able to take something out.
She denied it was inconsistent to support efforts to renegotiate terms but also say that the party would back staying in the EU whatever the result of those negotiations.
Mr Cameron is in the middle of a diplomatic push on his plans to change the terms of the UK's membership of the EU.
He said on Friday he was confident he could get a better deal for the UK but conceded that it "won't be easy".
Speaking at an EU summit in Latvia, he said he had not been greeted "by a wall of love" when he met EU leaders for the first time since his general election win.
But he said he had a mandate and the "British people at his back" for the changes he wanted to achieve.
As well as talks with Mr Juncker, the prime minister will also hold talks with Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande in coming days.
Other EU countries have said they will listen to what the UK has to say, the Finnish prime minister Alexander Stubb saying he backed the UK's proposals to cut red tape and was sure "some kind of compromise" could be reached.
But some member states have questioned the need for any change to EU treaties, something Mr Cameron has said he wants to see, and ruled out any watering down of the key principle of freedom of movement.
Speaking at Friday's meeting of EU leaders, Mr Cameron said he believed it was in the interests of both the UK and its European partners for the UK to remain part of the European Union but under different terms.
The British people, he said, were not happy with the status quo and wanted change on issues such as welfare, immigration and an opt-out from further integration.
Mr Cameron is committed to holding an in/out referendum on Britain's membership of the EU by the end of 2017, but there is speculation it could be held next year to avoid a clash with elections in France and Germany.
David Cameron is ready to start renegotiating the terms of Britain's EU membership ahead of a referendum. Here is some further reading on what it all means:

Legislation paving the way for the UK referendum is expected to be published next Thursday, the day after the Queen opens Parliament.
Asked whether he would be prepared to recommend a UK exit if he did not get the outcome he wanted, Mr Cameron said he would "not rule anything out".
Mr Cameron has not revealed the full details of what he is seeking from any changes, but he is expected to demand an opt-out from one its core principles of forging an "ever-closer union" between member states.
He will also try to get more powers to block or opt out of new EU laws, and for restrictions on welfare benefits for migrants until they have lived in the UK for four years.
This week, a number of UK business leaders started to highlight the potential implications of the referendum, with the president of the CBI saying businesses should "speak out early" in favour of remaining in a reformed EU,
The Labour Party, SNP, Plaid Cymru and the Lib Dems favour staying in the EU. UKIP, which got almost four million votes but only one MP in the election, want to leave.
The Labour leader's promise that education would be a spending priority for his party came at a head teachers' conference in Telford.
He hinted that he would use corporation tax to pay for the extra spending commitments but said specific details would be in Labour's manifesto.
The Conservatives insist school funding is protected and at a record high.
The National Audit Office says schools face £3bn in spending pressures by 2020 and head teachers around the country have been looking at making staff redundant and cutting provision.
Reality Check: Is education spending at a record level?
Mr Corbyn's speech comes a day after National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) heads warned that schools may be forced to opt for a four-and-a-half day week to plug their budget shortfalls.
Mr Corbyn was asked by one delegate, John Gadd, a head teacher from West Sussex, if he was "brave enough to fully reverse the £3bn in cuts".
He replied: "I believe we are brave enough to do it because I see education as a complete priority and that is what I want to achieve.
"We've got to look again at the spending we put into schools and if every school is now faced with a funding crisis, or the vast majority of them, that is not a good way forward, and I am determined to lead a government that will give the priority it deserves to education, not the blame culture of head teachers and teachers in under-funded schools."
He suggested he would be using changes in corporation tax to tackle schools funding pressures.
He told head teachers: "While funding to our children's education is cut, multinational corporations have received multi-billion pound tax giveaways.
"How can it be right that money is being siphoned straight out of our children's schools and directly into the pockets of the super-rich?"
The Department for Education has previously said that it has protected the core schools budget in real terms since 2010, with school funding at its highest level on record at almost £41bn in 2017-18 - and that is set to rise, as pupil numbers increase over the next two years, to £42bn by 2019-20.
A spokesperson said: "We recognise that schools are facing cost pressures, which is why we will continue to provide support to help them use their funding in cost-effective ways and make efficiencies."

"I think a draw's a fair result, it wasn't the most entertaining game.
"We were done by a set piece, but four points out of two games from where we were last Saturday, I have to take that, and be pleased with the lads' efforts, and the changes that we've made.
"The new players that have come in have given us something. They responded really well Tuesday and tried to do that again today."
Paramedics treated the casualty after he fell from the unit on Granby Industrial Estate in Avon Close, Weymouth, just after 12:00 BST.
He has been taken to Dorset County Hospital but the extent of his injuries are not yet known, Dorset Police said.
Police and the ambulance service attended the incident. The Health and Safety Executive has been notified.
The 34-year-old father-of-two died after being hit by a pick-up vehicle in Merseyside on Monday.
Clayton Williams, 18, "extended his apologies" to the officer's family, in a statement from his solicitor after a preliminary hearing.
Mr Williams was earlier remanded in custody at Liverpool Crown Court.
He is due in court again on 22 October.
Mr Williams' solicitor Andrew Egerton issued a statement which said:
"Mr Williams has accepted that his actions and his driving caused the death of PC Phillips. He is adamant that he did not drive at the officer and that he did not intend to injure, let alone kill, him.
"He extended his apologies through the police to PC Phillips' young family. It is now time for the judicial process to take over, and we would ask that all bear in mind Mr Williams' right to a fair trial."
It also added he felt the media coverage has not given the full picture in the case.
Mr Williams, of Wheatland Lane, Wallasey, is accused of murdering the father of two, attempting to wound another police officer, aggravated theft of a motor vehicle and burglary.
A second man, Phillip Stuart, 30, of Mayfair Court, Oxton, has been charged with burglary and aggravated taking of a vehicle.
He was also remanded in custody until 22 October, when he is due to appear at Liverpool Crown Court for a preliminary hearing.
PC Phillips, 34, was killed as he attempted to use a tyre-puncturing" stinger" device to stop a vehicle in Wallasey.
Union members had been on strike for more than 100 days in protest against plans to switch visitor services to a private company.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said he still opposed privatisation, but had been unable to prevent it.
He said the union would now work with the gallery for a "smooth transition".
The union said it had reached an agreement with the gallery and it new contractor, Securitas, over staff terms.
The agreement will also ensure the return to work of a senior union representative, the union added.
"We thank the new director Gabriele Finaldi and the company for their commitment to genuine negotiations," it said in a statement.
Staff will return to work at 09:00 BST on Monday, the union added.
"We still do not believe privatisation was necessary but we will work with the new company and the gallery to ensure a smooth transition and, importantly, to ensure standards are maintained at this world-renowned institution," Mr Serwotka said.
The dispute followed an announcement by the National Gallery to appoint Securitas as its partner to manage some visitor-facing and security staff services - a contract worth £40m over five years.
Two cars and a Team GB 2012 holdall and watch were among items taken from the athlete's house in the Halton area of Leeds on Wednesday.
Police said sports equipment in the boot of the car had been taken and a second car is still missing.
Miss Adams, 32, withdrew from this weekend's England Boxing Elite National Championships following the theft.
The grey Hyundai Veloster Turbo was found at about 08:20 BST in Sandringham Way, Alwoodley, after a member of the public reported it to the police.
Police are still searching for a silver Ford Focus TDCi.
The items taken from the car include three pairs of boxing boots, one of which was the pair Miss Adams wore in the Commonwealth Games, three pairs of boxing gloves and shorts and a vest she was due to wear at the championship bout this weekend.
The watch was a gift to mark her victory at the 2012 Olympics.
Det Con Will Tsang, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "Nicola is understandably distraught at the loss of these items that have such significant sentimental value to her.
"Much of the boxing equipment is very distinctive and we are appealing for anyone who may have been offered these items for sale or found them abandoned to contact us immediately."
Amber Peat was last seen at home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on Saturday.
Formal identification has yet to take place but police said they were not treating the death as suspicious.
The body was found on Tuesday evening near a path close to houses in Westfield Lane about a mile from Amber's home. Police at the scene said the area had been searched earlier.
Her family have been informed and have asked for privacy.
Police thanked all who had helped in the search, particularly the Mansfield community.
Some residents expressed surprise the discovery of the body, between two busy roads, had not been made earlier.
Yolanda Cassidy, who lives next to the site, said: "It is a very public area. I wondered if she had climbed over gates [into a nearby property] but they have dogs so I can't imagine she would be in there.
"I went shopping on Monday and walked across there. People are back and forth, it's nearly a main road, people go up and down. I can't believe she's been there since Saturday."
Police officers have also informally confirmed they had searched the area since Amber went missing.
A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out later.
On Tuesday morning, Amber's mother and stepfather said her disappearance was "completely out of character".
Kelly and Danny Peat, who had just returned from holiday with Amber, confirmed she had left her home in Bosworth Street without her mobile phone or any money.
They had issued an emotional plea for her to return, breaking down in tears as they spoke at a police news conference.
Mr Peat said: "We had just all had a brilliant holiday. It's just not right.
"We told her to clean a cool box out that we had had sandwiches in for the journey home.
"It was a chore, basically, and I'm sure all teenagers are the same, she didn't want to do a chore. That was the last conversation."
Ms Peat said: "We were in the living room and I heard the front door slam."
"I heard the door and when I went out I couldn't see her anywhere. She had just gone."
Up to 300 people were involved in searches on Monday and Tuesday, with posters being placed in many houses and shops.
Supt Matthew McFarlane, of Nottinghamshire Police, said she had been "out of the house perhaps for a few hours" prior to going missing.
Rosemary Butler makes the call in her submission to the Silk Commission examining whether further powers should be devolved to Wales.
She said an increase in AMs would be part of a "strong and clear constitutional settlement for the assembly and the people of Wales".
The UK government will decide what to include in a Government of Wales Bill.
"Given the weight of responsibility resting with the institution, and the unavoidable scale of the workload faced by members, I am in no doubt that the number of Assembly Members should be increased from 60 to 80," said Ms Butler.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said it was an interesting proposition as AMs would be "limited" to deal with all the work when more legislation has to be discussed and processed by the assembly in the years to come.
"What I would be interested to see as well is a corresponding reduction in the number of MPs so we don't end up spending extra money on this," said Ms Wood.
The Electoral Reform Society said having more AMs could save money for the taxpayer because politicians act as watchdogs for government spending.
It said the money saved by cutting the size of the House of Lords could be spent on a bigger assembly - something that was needed to hold the Welsh government to account.
The Welsh Liberal Democrats agreed, saying: "While it is not a popular call to make, 60 assembly members scrutinising and legislating on important issues such as economic development, health, education and other important areas is not enough."
However, the Welsh government has previously said it does not think there is a public appetite for more AMs.
A spokesman said: "The commission may feel that they want to look at the size of the assembly, in the light of the various evidence being submitted on further powers."
The Welsh government's own evidence to Silk calls for the devolution of powers over policing.
Ms Butler also cites a number of recent examples which illustrate what she calls the "unclear and uncertain" boundaries of the current devolution settlement.
The extent of the assembly's powers should be defined "to give us greater legal certainty" so the institution can legislate "effectively and with confidence".
The lawfulness of the first bill passed by the assembly under its new law-making powers was challenged in the Supreme Court by the UK government.
A panel of five judges found in the assembly's favour on every count.
However, Ms Butler said this and other examples illustrated the need for clearer boundaries and more autonomy for the institution.
"The pace of constitutional change in Wales has been dramatic and the institution today is very different to the one envisaged by the UK parliament as recently as 2006," she said.
"There should be a fundamental recognition that the assembly, not the UK parliament, is best placed to determine certain matters for itself and should not be subject to unnecessary restriction."
As part of her submission, she says that in future, it should be described as a parliament, rather than an assembly.
The Silk Commission was set up by the UK government to examine the future of devolution in Wales. It has already reported back on the first stage of its work, recommending that some tax-varying powers should be transferred.
Its second stage is under way, looking at whether powers in more policy areas should be devolved. A move to 80 AMs was recommended by the Richard Commission in 2004, but not implemented.
Campaign group True Wales, which was opposed to further law-making powers during the referendum in 2011, said that a Yes vote was likely to lead to an increase in the number of AMs.
However, it will be up to the UK government to decide what it puts in a new Government of Wales Bill which would be needed for any substantial changes to the assembly's powers or structure, including new members.
It is expected to release its submission to the Silk Commission next week.
The 34-year-old played in 59 Test matches, scoring 3,731 runs at an average of 35.19 and taking 75 wickets at 33.68.
Having made his debut in 2005, he has played in five Ashes series, including this summer's 3-2 defeat by England.
"I just know it's the right time to move on," said Watson.
"I don't have that real fight in me, especially for Test cricket, knowing the lengths physically that I'd have to go through, mentally and technically as well, to be at my best in Test cricket.
"I've been through a lot of different waves of emotion about what is right for myself, my family and most importantly the team as well.
"Over the last couple of days there was a lot of clarity of what the right decision was. I've given everything I possibly can to get the best out of myself.
"I'm hopefully not moving on forever, still able to play some one-day and Twenty20 cricket for Australia as well."
His injury came in Saturday's 64-run win at Lord's, which gave Australia a 2-0 lead after two matches of the five-game one-day series.
A two-time Ashes winner, Watson was dropped after one Test of this summer's series following a run of poor form that had seen him reach a half-century only 11 times in 62 innings since the start of 2011.
Before that, Watson had scored 1,373 runs in 14 matches at an average of 52.81, culminating in him being named Test player of the year.
A powerful batsman who has operated in several positions in the batting order, Watson scored four Test centuries - including a top score of 176, which came against England at The Oval in 2013.
Watson also courted controversy when he left the tour of India in 2013 after being one of four players dropped for the third Test for failing to deliver feedback on how the team could improve, as requested by then coach Mickey Arthur.
The poorest country in the Americas has taken a direct hit from the worst Caribbean storm in nine years. Whole villages and towns have been razed. Hundreds of people are dead.
The Red Cross says a million people have been affected in the south-west of the country. About 350,000 people are in need of immediate assistance, amid fears of cholera outbreaks.
Food is a leading concern as crops have been wrecked by the Matthew. Junior Jetro Cherubin, a farmer in the port city of Les Cayes, told AFP news agency: "I had maize and pepper fields, almost 100 mango trees and a farm where people could buy seedlings. I've lost everything."
Help is all the more urgent as the country's chronically ineffective state cannot cope. "Where is the Haitian government, where are they?" one resident in the devastated town of Cavaillon was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.
"Water, food, clothing for people in dire need, we need all of that," another said.
So, once again, Haitians have to turn to foreigners. International aid groups are appealing for donations. Many foreign NGOs are on the ground, and are already mobilising to help victims in the south-west.
The previous massive aid effort, in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake that devastated the capital, Port-au-Prince, may provide useful lessons for the humanitarian effort being launched.
Hand up or handout?
John Mitchell, a leading analyst of humanitarian aid, says swift, concerted action is vital.
The "cluster system" set up by the UN to co-ordinate the aid after the earthquake - which killed more than 200,000 people - helped deliver water and shelter to survivors quickly. "Lives were saved," Mr Mitchell told the BBC.
But, he says, the response also provided warnings. Foreign NGOs were criticised for descending on Haiti with their own staff and their own agenda, ignoring the traditions and expertise of those they were supposed to help.
"The coping strategies of local people were overlooked. Opportunities to support local businesses were missed," says Mr Mitchell, who heads Alnap, an international network of humanitarian agencies.
This explains the mixed reception foreign humanitarians get in the country. With an estimated 10,000 non-governmental organisations operating there, locals ironically refer to Haiti as an "NGO republic".
Many point out that six years after the quake, the country has little to show for the billions of foreign cash received. It is as poor and aid-dependent as ever. Tens of thousands of quake victims still live in temporary shelter.
"I've never believed in foreign aid. Please, don't come back promising us billions again if nothing is to come of it," a hurricane survivor told AFP, adding that "80% of the cash was burnt by NGOs".
But Tom Newby of Care International says his charity is working to overcome such scepticism.
He admits that amid the urgency and challenging circumstances that prevailed after the quake, "international agencies weren't able to find national organisations" to work with.
But, Mr Newby insists, lessons have been learned: "This time there is much more scope for doing good partnership work."
Byron Webster headed in the opening goal for his fifth of the season, before Oldham's Jonathan Forte was denied by Millwall's Jordan Archer.
Shane Ferguson made it 2-0 when he finished from close range following a flick from Aiden O'Brien.
Webster completed the scoring early in the second half, heading in from Steve Morison's cross.
The winning margin could have been bigger, with an audacious Morison lob from halfway floating inches over, before Joe Martin's free-kick from 25 yards hit the bar.
Millwall sit third in the table but cannot catch second-placed Burton, while Oldham are 17th and already assured of their place in League One next season.
A man was hit when the Isuzu D-Max Fury vehicle was "deliberately" driven at people on Well Street at about 23:20 BST on Sunday.
Police say it was a "targeted attack" but "not terror-related". The man who was struck left the scene in a BMW and the truck chased him for a short time.
The car window was smashed but the man was not seriously injured.
Ch Insp Gareth Parkin, of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), appealed for witnesses.
"This was the city centre and there were lots of people in the area who would have witnessed the commotion," he said.

Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn and other party leaders will stop campaigning for an hour to honour the mother-of-two who was murdered last June.
Her widower Brendan Cox said it would "send a powerful message" ahead of the first anniversary of her death.
A cross-party fundraising event is planned in her former constituency.
Mr Cox said the co-ordinated suspension of campaigning would send a message that "whatever our political disagreements, we really do hold more in common and show a united front against hatred and extremism in all its forms".
He added: "Elections are huge moments of national importance and deserve to be taken seriously. But we also need to get a better balance.
"We spend way too much time fixated on the areas we disagree with each other and need to create more moments where we come together as a country.
"That's what I'm focused on and after polling day, I am sure that's exactly what people all over the UK will be crying out for."
Mrs Cox used her maiden speech in the House of Commons to say: "We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us."
To mark the anniversary of her death, Mr Cox has organised the Great Get Together from June 16 to 18, where thousands of gatherings such as street parties, picnics and coffee mornings will be held across the country.
On Sunday, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will pause campaigning on a visit to an arts centre in Liverpool.
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron will be at a community picnic in Kendal in his constituency and Green leader Caroline Lucas will be at a church project in Brighton.
Prospective MPs from across the different parties will join Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale at Edinburgh's Serenity Cafe on Sunday to remember the Labour MP.
In Mrs Cox's former constituency of Batley and Spen, in West Yorkshire, the Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem and Green candidates will come together at a farmers' event raising money for a special care baby unit.
The 41-year-old was shot and stabbed multiple times by right-wing extremist Thomas Mair in her constituency. Mair was later handed a whole-life prison sentence for her murder.
A clip filmed in the dressing room of a Beijing store went viral on Chinese social media last week.
Media reports said the couple in the video were arrested on Wednesday, hours after the footage was published.
Part of the investigation will reportedly focus on whether the clip was a publicity stunt.
The clip quickly spread on Weibo, the Chinese social network, and on the mobile messaging service WeChat.
China's online regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), said that distributing the footage was "against socialist core values" and called for online operators to help with the investigation.
"The police investigation has two main parts: who published this unsavoury video, and was it an example of hype by the business," Beijing Television said.
China Daily reported that Uniqlo could face a fine of between 200,000 and one million yuan (£21,000-£103,000) and see its license revoked if the video is found to be a publicity stunt.
Uniqlo, a Japanese-owned company, has not responded to the reports.

Ruddocks of Lincoln has been on its present site on the city's High Street since 1904 selling stationery, games, toys and gifts.
Henry Ruddock, the owner, said: "Costs are going up and business declining".
Jules Jackson, a shop assistant working at the store, said she was "gutted" at the closure and working there felt "like a family".
Mr Ruddock said it was "immensely sad" that the shop was closing but he could not "put sentiment in the till".
He blamed the rise of internet shopping and changing consumer habits for the shop's closure.
"The sums just don't add up, in one way it's really quite simple", said Mr Ruddock.
The shop closed its doors at the end of Saturday's trading.
The business had its first shop on High Street by 1820 and was in business before that date. The Ruddock family entered the business in the 1870s, said Mr Ruddock.
The closure was announced on 6 March and since then the shop "have had lots and lots of people coming in and saying goodbye", he said.
About 20 staff were employed at the shop.
The Double Tree hotel in the city said in a tweet: "You have been at the heart of the community for so many years and could never be replaced, this is sad news for #Lincoln".
Another twitter user Mrs Tiggy tweeted "So sad to read this, one of my favourite shops in Lincoln. The high street will not be the same".
A separate family-run design and print business is not affected by the shop's closure.
The pair were descending the treacherous Les Droites mountain near Mont Blanc on Wednesday when the accident happened.
The boy called emergency services on his mobile phone but helicopter rescue efforts were delayed by fog.
He was found unhurt on Thursday morning suffering from mild hypothermia.
They were at a height of 3,700m (12,140ft) when the 61-year-old father fell around 40m (130ft) to his death on Wednesday evening, Le Dauphine.com reported.
It was not until the next morning that helicopters were able to rescue the child. The father's body was retrieved shortly afterwards.
"The teenager was there for around 10 hours - hanging from the cliff face. We commend the way he acted, and his courage demonstrated throughout the night," police commander Stephane Bozon was quoted as saying.
Le Dauphine reported that the pair were Americans living in London.
Every year thousands of mountaineers attempt the various peaks of the Mont Blanc range, which includes Europe's highest and best-known summit of the same name.
An average of 59 people are killed each year in accidents on its slopes, according to the Chamoniarde, an association that provides safety information for the area.
The rankings are calculated over a 12-month period but six of Murray's rivals have accrued more points this year.
"When we start on 1 January, it's back to square one," said the Briton, who is in Indian Wells having won his first title of the year in Dubai last week.
The 29-year-old beat Fernando Verdasco to win the title for the first time.
But a fourth-round defeat by Mischa Zverev at the Australian Open in January means Murray has ground to make up on Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Grigor Dimitrov, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Dominic Thiem and David Goffin in the 2017 rankings.
He is, however, likely to retain the number one ranking until at least the French Open.
"I felt like I wasn't a bad player just because I lost a match at the Australian Open," he told BBC Sport after a 16-hour flight from Dubai to Los Angeles.
"Australia wasn't my tournament but I took a break after that, chatted to my team about things that I needed to work on, worked on them, and got to Dubai early.
"I played some good stuff where I hadn't played well in the past. So that gave me a bit of a boost coming here, which is also a place where I haven't played my best."
Murray was the runner-up to Nadal at Indian Wells in 2009, but in the past six years has suffered early defeats at the hands of Donald Young, Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and - in last year's third round - Federico Delbonis.
The thin desert air makes the ball fly and jump off the court, and last year played havoc with the Scot's serve. He held back, for fear of missing, and was beaten in the second match he played.
His preparation had also been far from ideal. On the Sunday before an event due to be staged outdoors in 30C desert heat, Murray spent four hours and 54 minutes beating Kei Nishikori in the Davis Cup on an indoor court eight time zones away in Glasgow.
However, this year's warm up in Dubai was much preferable and Murray was enthusiastic when talking about Great Britain's Davis Cup quarter-final in France.
That tie was secured in February when Britain beat Canada 3-2 without their leading player and will be held after the Miami Masters, which follows Indian Wells.
"It will have been a long stretch, but to get matches on clay is a positive thing - and my team are more pro it," Murray said.
"If I'd gone to Canada, it would have been bad news because physically I was not ready. I was struggling a little bit with the illness so it was a good thing I didn't go."
Having overcome shingles, Murray now has the awkward desert conditions to overcome, but has been given a favourable draw in Indian Wells.
While his quarter is far from treacherous, the bottom quarter includes Novak Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Juan Martin del Potro, Nick Kyrgios and Alex Zverev.
Linda Box, 67, admitted 12 offences of fraud, theft and forgery while working as a senior partner at Dixon, Coles and Gill solicitors in Wakefield.
She was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court for the deception, which covered a 12-year period.
Box spent the money on shopping sprees, expensive hotels, and holidays.
Box, of Halifax Road, Dewsbury, took more than £63,000 from the Church of England while acting as a registrar for the Diocese of Wakefield, the court heard.
Simon Higginbotham, from the CPS Specialist Fraud Division, said: "Linda Box used her position as a trusted partner in a law firm to steal millions of pounds from the estates of those who had died, depriving their grieving friends and families of their rightful inheritance.
"She also abused her senior position of responsibility within the Church of England by stealing," he said.
The court heard Box used the money she stole on shopping sprees, expensive hotels, vintage wines and to pay off multiple mortgages.
She also paid more than £230,000 to a marketing and public relations firm which did work for her husband's firm of funeral directors.
Speaking after sentencing, Det Insp Dan Tillett, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "She was incredibly deceitful, taking cash from the estates of the deceased and using it as her own to fund her lavish lifestyle.
"She preyed on vulnerable people at one of the most difficult times of their lives," he said.
Dixon, Coles and Gill, a 200-year-old firm that had offices in Wakefield and Horbury, was closed after a fraud investigation was launched by police in January 2016.
The premises have since been sold off and staff made redundant.

The 27-year-old South Sydney Rabbitohs forward was appointed ahead of James Graham, with Wigan's Sean O'Loughlin ruled out through injury.
Burgess spent a year at rugby union side Bath before returning to league.
England play New Zealand in their opening Four Nations game on 29 October.
"It's an absolute honour and privilege to be asked to captain my country and lead this group," said Burgess. "My mum got a bit emotional.
"Although I am captain on the field for this tournament, there are a group of leaders in this squad and I know that we will work together and as hard as possible to try to achieve success on the pitch for England."
Burgess has won 14 caps for England but last played in the 2013 World Cup semi-final defeat by New Zealand.

England have never won the Four Nations, which this year includes Australia, New Zealand and Scotland.
The side is coached by Australian Wayne Bennett, who replaced Steve McNamara as head coach in February.
They play a one-off match against France in Avignon on 22 October, for which Burgess is suspended and in which Graham will be captain, before the Four Nations starts on 28 October.
After facing New Zealand in Huddersfield, England meet Scotland in Coventry on 5 November and Australia at the Olympic Stadium in London on 13 November.
But the judge called for a rolling release of the documents and ordered the State Department to develop a timetable by next week.
Ms Clinton said on Tuesday she wants them released as soon as possible.
The timing for the release could prove tricky for her campaign.
Since launching her bid to be president, Ms Clinton has been on the defensive about her use of the server to conduct official business while she was secretary of state.
"I want those emails out," Ms Clinton told reporters while campaigning in Iowa.
The agency says it will publish some of the 55,000 pages of emails online.
The State Department proposed the date in court documents filed on Monday night. The documents were in response to a Freedom of Information Act (Foia) request made by Vice News.
The proposed date falls just a few weeks before the Iowa caucuses and other early state primary elections.
Ms Clinton's emails could be released at a highly combustible point on the US political calendar. Just over two weeks later Iowa will become the first of a long line of states to cast the votes that will eventually determine the identities of the two major presidential party nominees.
The pack of Republican candidates will certainly latch on to whatever nuggets they find in this new trove of information, hoping to prove to their voters that they are the most skilled at levelling attacks on Ms Clinton.
And while the former secretary of state will almost certainly still be the prohibitive favourite for the Democratic nomination come January, the media coverage of the email release and the political heat generated from Republicans could prove an unwanted distraction in the days leading up to her first appearance on a ballot in nearly eight years.
John Hackett, the state department official in charge of handling Foia requests, said the 55,00 pages of emails were delivered in paper form and would require time to review before their release.
"Given the breadth and importance of the many foreign policy issues on which the secretary of state and the department work, the review of these materials will likely require consultation with a broad range of subject matter experts within the department and other agencies, as well as potentially with foreign governments," he said.
Ms Clinton voluntarily turned over emails from the server after discarding the ones she deemed personal.
Mick Whalley from Sheppey, Kent, was taking part in a support race to this weekend's round of the MCE British Superbike Championship when crashed on Saturday.
He was transferred to hospital in Nottingham, where he later died of his injuries.
A statement issued by event organiser MSVR and Donington Park said the accident involved several motorbikes.
The statement said Mr Whalley died following "a multiple motorcycle accident" during a race for the Ducati Performance TriOptions Cup,.
It said Mr Whalley, rider of bike number 77, suffered serious injuries and the race was immediately stopped.
He and other riders involved were treated immediately trackside by a medical team, the statement added.
It said: "It is with great regret that we have to announce that, following his transfer from the circuit, Mick Whalley succumbed to his injuries while undergoing further treatment at Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham."
Another rider, Mike Honey, suffered multiple leg injuries and was receiving treatment and further assessment at the same hospital, the statement said.
It said organisers and staff were working with Leicestershire Police and the Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board to investigate the crash.
Racing at Donington Park continued as planned on Sunday.
Carnival made a net profit of $93m (£57m) in the three months to 30 November, down from $217m last year.
Revenues at the British-American group fell to $2.7bn from $2.8bn.
Carnival has seen a fall in bookings since the capsizing, despite offering substantial price cuts.
A total of 32 people died when the Costa Concordia hit rocks off the coast of Italy on 13 January.
Carnival said it was also being affected by the weak European economy and high fuel prices.
Looking ahead, the company said its bookings for 2013 "continue to be behind" this year's levels.
Carnival chief executive Micky Arison said: "As a result of the Costa Concordia tragedy in January, the past year has been the most challenging in our company's history."
The company's shares are listed in both New York and London. Its US shares were down 5.4% in late morning trading.
Underlying profit for the period fell 19% to $2.58bn compared with a year earlier.
A big rise in revenue from BP's refining business made up the bulk of its profits.
The results come at a time of uncertainty for oil companies. Oil prices are 50% lower than last year.
Chief executive Bob Dudley said BP's results reflected the "weaker environment and the actions we are taking in response".
The results were, however, better than expected. Most analysts had forecast replacement cost profit (RCP) of about $1.3bn.
RCP is a measure of profitability used by the oil industry to take into account the price of oil.
Oil and gas companies' business are largely made up of "upstream" activities - getting energy out of the ground - and "downstream" - refining it into useable products.
BP's downstream business made the company $2bn in RCP in the first quarter, compared with $794m for the same period last year.
That helped offset a big slump in profits from BP's oil exploration operations, which reported RCP of $372m compared with $4.7bn a year earlier.
"Upstream result was significantly affected by lower oil and gas prices as well as weaker gas marketing and trading and $375m costs associated with the cancellation of contracts for two deepwater rigs in the Gulf of Mexico," BP said.
Downstream benefitted from greater efficiencies in refining, which lowered costs, as well as better marketing, the company added.
Brent crude oil prices averaged $55 a barrel in the first quarter of 2015 - almost half the average price a year ago.
Anish Kapadia, analyst at Tudor, Pickering Holt and Co, said: "[Profits] look very strong thanks to the downstream but underlying [profits] in upstream and the overall cash flow were extremely weak."
BP maintained the quarterly dividend at 10 cents per share to be paid on 19 June.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the 5% yield remained appealing to investors given ongoing low interest rates.
Shares in BP rose 1.5% to 483.9p in morning trading in London, valuing the company at £87.5bn. The stock has risen more than 17% this year.
Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK, said: "The next question now is whether this [profit] makes BP a more attractive target for an acquisition."
The company has shrunk after selling assets in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico disaster in 2010 and is now worth considerably less than rivals Exxon Mobil or Shell.
On Monday the Financial Times reported that the UK government would oppose a bid from a foreign company.
BP said on Tuesday that it had taken another $332m charge linked to the Deepwater Horizon accident, bringing the total to $43.8bn (£28.7bn).
BP is the first oil major to report first quarter results, with Shell and Exxon Mobil following on Thursday.
Earlier this month Shell announced a £47bn deal to buy oil and gas explorer BG Group.
The slide in oil prices has also affected results at Total. Adjusted first quarter profits fell 22% to €2.4bn ($2.6bn, £1.7bn) compared with the same period last year, while revenue slid 30% to $42.3bn. Analysts had expected profits of $2.1bn.
Although the French company's activities were disrupted by unrest in Yemen and Libya, oil production rose 10% to 2.4m barrels per day.
Judge Derrick Watson's ruling means Mr Trump will be barred from enforcing the ban on six mostly Muslim nations while it is contested in court.
In a lawsuit, the US state says the ban would harm tourism and the ability to recruit foreign students and workers.
President Trump says his revised travel ban seeks to prevent terrorists from entering the United States.
Judge Watson made the ruling late on Wednesday after hearing arguments from attorneys for the state of Hawaii and the US Department of Justice.
The judge turned his earlier temporary restraining order into a preliminary injunction that would have a more lasting effect.
President Trump's executive order on 6 March would have placed a 90-day ban on people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen and a 120-day ban on refugees.
An earlier version of the order, issued in late January, sparked confusion and protests, and was blocked by a judge in Seattle.
Other courts across the US have issued different rulings on Mr Trump's revised ban, with a judge in Maryland halting a part of the ban earlier this month.
Mr Trump has complained of "unprecedented judicial overreach", pledging to take the case "as far as it needs to go".
An appeal against the Hawaii decision would be expected to go next to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals - the same court which in February said it would not block a ruling by a Seattle court to halt the original travel ban.
Five questions on new US travel ban
Under the revised order, citizens of six countries on the original 27 January order - Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen - would once more be subject to a 90-day travel ban.
Iraq was removed from the list because its government had boosted visa screening and data sharing, White House officials said.
The revised order also lifts an indefinite ban on all Syrian refugees and says Green Card holders (legal permanent residents of the US) from the named countries will not be affected.
The figurines, each clad in a hand-made calico shroud, mark the anniversary of the start of the battle 100 years ago.
They were placed on the grass next to the World War One memorial in Exeter, by artist Rob Heard.
The artwork was opened at 07:30 BST, the exact time the whistle was blown 100 years ago for the battle's start.
Mr Heard, 50 and from Somerset, said he wanted to make physical the number of soldiers who died.

The 19240 Shrouds of the Somme - in the town's Northernhay Gardens - forms part of events around the UK marking the battle.
Mr Heard, with help from volunteers and serving soldiers, laid out each of the figurines, which will be on display until next Thursday.
Mr Heard began creating the work while recuperating from a car crash.
"I was in a dark place," said Mr Heard, whose injuries ended his career building adventure playgrounds.
"Then I heard a story on the radio about soldiers who had died in the Somme.
"We talk too often about the large numbers of the losses in war.
"We have had the poppies at the Tower of London, which was a great thing, but the individual was lost in that sea of colour.
"I wanted to make people understand the number is made up of individual people."
He found the names of each man in military archives and used them for each figurine as he clad it in the shroud.
The project began last December and Mr Heard has spent more than 5,500 hours making the display.
"I feel this is a real privilege to have had a relationship with these men," he said.
"It's not a comfortable image, but when you associate it with a name it's very powerful and denotes the individual in each number."
Suren Sivananthan, 32, from Canada, was found near the Co-op in St Leger Drive in Great Linford, Milton Keynes, at 04:00 GMT on Saturday.
Prashanth Thevarasa, 23, of Farrier Place, Downs Barn, Milton Keynes, has been charged with one count of murder.
Two other men and a teenage boy face the same charge and appeared in court on Tuesday.
Gnanachandran Balachandran, 37, of The Fleet, Springfield, Milton Keynes, Kiroraj Yogarajah, 30, of Dunthorne Way, Grange Farm, Milton Keynes, and a 17-year-old from Croydon - who cannot be identified because of his age - were remanded in custody and will appear at Luton Crown Court tomorrow.
Mr Thevarasa is due to appear at Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court later.
Thames Valley Police's response to the death has been referred to the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
A force spokeswoman said the referral was "to ensure police actions during the initial response to the investigation were appropriate".

Cala is waiting for EFL clearance to purchase Abdulrahman Al-Hashemi's stake in the club's owners, G50 Holdings.
But Diego Lemos, who bought a share in G50 in September, has obtained a court order preventing the sale.
"I remain committed in my plan of purchasing Morecambe Football Club," confirmed 56-year-old Cala.
He said he wanted the League Two club to become "a stable, self-sustaining, transparent model that sets new standards within the EFL" and "see the brand grow towards a global audience putting the small town of Morecambe on a world map".
Players and some staff at the Shrimps have not been paid on time because the takeover has not been completed.
Brazilian Lemos bought a controlling stake in Morecambe in September and claims he owns G50, despite 99% of that share being transferred to tax consultant Graham Burnard on 11 January.
Burnard also claims he is the club's owner.
Lemos' spell at the Globe Arena has been criticised by the club, who claimed he had not been present for 10 weeks.
Companies House records also show that his shares in G50 Holdings, which were used to purchase the club, had been transferred.
Cala, who tried unsuccessfully to buy Portsmouth in 2012, wants to purchase Qatari businessman and former Morecambe co-chairman Al Hashemi's stake in G50.
It follows Saturday's dramatic 30-27 defeat by Harlequins at Kingsholm, a match they led 27-15 with eight minutes left to play.
Former Brumbies coach Fisher joined the Cherry and Whites in 2014.
A statement from Gloucester said: "The club is aware of the tweet and we are not in a position to comment further."
Gloucester are ninth in the Premiership table after the loss, but have qualified for the European Challenge Cup quarter-finals this season after topping their group with five wins from six.
With five Premiership games remaining, the Cherry and Whites are eight points adrift of the top six and automatic qualification for the European Champions Cup.
Fisher is part of the coaching team that works under director of rugby David Humphreys.
BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Paul Furley
Gloucester's lack of progress up the Premiership table has been a source of frustration for fans for nearly three years since Nigel Davies left in 2014.
Winning the European Challenge Cup in 2015 provided reason for optimism, but crucially did not earn a place at Europe's top table. And now, after losing at home to Harlequins the Cherry and Whites look highly likely to miss out on Europe's top club competition again.
A change in style for the 2016-17 season has enabled Gloucester to turn over Wasps and Saracens at Kingsholm, but Fisher himself admitted this week that they have struggled against teams around them in the table that they need to be beating. As he put it himself: "That obviously says something about our mind set, about our preparation - it's something we're conscious of and are trying to address."
Clearly, having admitted this week's game was a must-win match, Fisher now feels the responsibility to carry the can.
CCTV shows the white Ford Kuga pull up outside the house on Stoneymore Drive in Castle Bromwich, near Solihull.
Two men jump out and demand the keys to the 57-year-old's Audi Q7. When he refused they hit him with metal batons.
The man was not seriously injured, West Midlands Police said. CCTV of the carjacking suspects has been released in a bid to track them down.
The footage shows the man being chased by the attackers and being repeatedly hit on the ground.
One of the carjackers manages to get the Audi keys and make off in it, while his accomplice takes off in the Ford Kuga.
The CCTV shows the victim's wife trying to move her car to block the carjacker's get away route - but to no avail.
The attack happened just after the man kissed his wife goodbye at 09:00 GMT on 25 February.
Mother-of-three "Ms A" lost her home in March 2014 when her housing benefit payment was cut and she could no longer afford the rent, The High Court heard.
Westminster City Council temporarily moved her to north London and tried to ban her from re-applying for a home in the central borough for 12 months.
A judge ruled the ban was unlawful.
The council, which has a long waiting list for social housing, offered her temporary accommodation in Enfield and said for 12 months it would register her with a private landlord instead.
However the family's lawyers argued the suspension on applying for social housing breached the 1996 Housing Act which requires councils to give homeless families "reasonable preference" for social housing.
Jayesh Kunwardia, from Hodge Jones & Allen solicitors, said: "This landmark ruling makes it abundantly clear that homeless people have the right to bid for social housing from the time they secure a full housing duty from a local authority rather than being suspended for one year."
Judge Peter Blair QC, sitting in London, said even without the ban the family, who had been living in Westminster for five years, may have a long wait to be allocated a permanent council home in Westminster because of the "high demand and very short supply."
He said "The waiting lists are so vast that on average people have a seven to 10-year wait before they reach a point high enough up on the register to have any realistic prospect of being successful in a bid."
We now face a generational decision about our future in Europe, with an EU referendum in two years' time almost certain.
There will also be serious questions about the future of the Union, following an SNP landslide that has turned Scotland into a virtual one-party state.
David Cameron's victory also represents a colossal achievement.
Only once before in recent history has an incumbent government increased its majority - and that was Mrs Thatcher in her prime in the 1980s.
It is also a significant personal victory for Mr Cameron and a rebuff for those in his party who had become increasingly sceptical about his ability to win.
But while it may represent a defeat for those Tories who saw this election as a potential opportunity to rid themselves of David Cameron, he must now govern with a wafer-thin majority.
What this means is his vulnerability to revolts and pressure from his own backbenches is now acute - opening up the possibility of a repeat of the draining experience of the Major years.
For Labour, this election could scarcely be more disastrous - crushed in Scotland, rebuffed in Middle England and stripped of some of its most significant figures, including the shadow chancellor Ed Balls and shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander.
Ed Miliband may have resigned - but this defeat presents Labour with a much more profound challenge.
The left-of-centre, traditional agenda set out by Ed Miliband would appear to have been decisively rejected.
So how does Labour re-discover its political purpose and how does it rebuild in its shattered heartland in Scotland?
It is an election which, for Labour, may prompt the sort of soul searching that accompanied other devastating defeats such as under Michael Foot in 1983 and Neil Kinnock in 1992.
Does it mean a return to the New Labour years or does Labour have to re-invent itself in a different way?
Similarly, the Liberal Democrats must now re-consider their whole political strategy.
Nick Clegg took the deliberate decision to try to re-position his party as a party of government, rather than a party of protest.
But the cost has been colossal.
Many Lib Dem supporters would appear never to have been reconciled to that alliance with the Conservatives; many too never forgave the party for that symbolic broken promise over tuition fees.
For the Lib Dems, the question now is whether they need now to return to their left-of-centre, radical roots.
Either way, they face a long slow haul to rebuild, not just at Westminster but in local councils and at their withered grass roots.
As for the smaller parties - once again the promised breakthrough has failed to materialise.
Our electoral system has again demonstrated its historic ability to crush the life out of the smaller parties.
For the SNP, their stunning victory can only increase the pressure on Nicola Sturgeon to include a commitment to a second independence referendum in her party's manifesto for next year's Scottish elections.
So far, Scotland's first minister has carefully avoided giving any such commitment.
However, it is hard to see how Ms Sturgeon will be able to hold her party back.
It means the future of the Union could yet again be on the agenda - despite the opinion of the party's former leader Alex Salmond that it was settled for a generation.
It is an election which has not just defied all the predictions of the pollsters and pundits - but which may yet prompt the most fundamental re-casting of British politics for a generation..
Stephen "Aki" Akinyemi died in a fight with businessman Arran Coghlan in 2010. A murder charge against Mr Coghlan was later dropped.
The coroner at an inquest into Mr Akinyemi's death said a nightclub attack in which Mr Coghlan was wounded two years earlier could be of interest.
The inquest heard a hooded man may have carried out the stabbing.
Coroner Bernard Richmond QC, sitting at London's Royal Courts of Justice, told Mr Akinyemi's brother John who was in the witness box: "One of the matters which may be relevant is any potential motive or bad feeling for your brother.
"This episode is one such episode."
The coroner suggested it was possible, "some people, potentially your brother, having been told what [the attacker] had done, helped him get away".
Mr Akinyemi said he was not aware of any cover-up.
Mr Richmond ordered the arrest of a man who, Mr Coghlan's legal team claims, had been in a bitter row with Stephen Akinyemi because they used the same nickname.
He described Phil Atkinson's absence from the inquest as "both voluntary and intentional".
David Mason QC, representing Mr Coghlan, had previously told the inquest both men had Porsches with the number plate 'Aki'."
Concerning the death of Stephen Akinyemi, Mr Coghlan told a previous inquest in 2011 that Mr Akinyemi pulled a gun on him and it went off during a struggle.
At the time, Cheshire coroner Nicholas Rheinberg recorded an open verdict, saying he had "difficulty" accepting Mr Coghlan's version of events.
Mr Coghlan was initially accused of murdering Stephen Akinyemi, but the Crown Prosecution Service later dropped the charge.
The inquest continues.
He made the remarks during a visit to the Armenian capital, Yerevan, for commemorations of the massacre.
Armenia and many historians say up to 1.5 million Armenian Christians were killed by Ottoman forces in 1915.
Turkey has always disputed that figure and rejects using the term "genocide".
It says the deaths were part of a civil conflict triggered by WW1.
The row over how to characterise the killings has continued to sour relations between Armenia and Turkey, as well as drawing in other countries such as Germany, whose parliament recently declared the killings to be genocide.
In an address to Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan and the diplomatic corps, the Pope appeared to have added the word "genocide" to his prepared text.
"This tragedy, this genocide, has unfortunately marked the start of a sad series of great catastrophes of the last century," he said.
He added that the killings were "made possible by twisted racial, ideological or religious aims that darkened the minds of the tormentors even to the point of planning the annihilation of entire peoples."
The remarks were met by a standing ovation.
"One cannot but believe in the triumph of justice when in 100 years... the message of justice is being conveyed to mankind from the heart of the Catholic world," President Sargsyan said.
There was no immediate reaction from Turkey, which last year recalled its envoy to the Vatican after the Pope referred to "genocide".
The envoy was kept away for 10 months.
In 2014, for the first time, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered condolences to the grandchildren of all the Armenians who lost their lives.
But he also said that it was inadmissible for Armenia to turn the issue "into a matter of political conflict".
Armenia says up to 1.5 million people died in 1915-16 as the Ottoman Empire was disintegrating. Turkey has said the number of deaths was much smaller.
Many of the victims were civilians deported en masse to barren desert regions where they died of starvation and thirst. Thousands also died in massacres.
Most non-Turkish scholars of the events regard them as genocide. Among the other states which formally recognise them as genocide are Argentina, Belgium, Canada, France, Italy, Russia and Uruguay.
Turkey maintains that many of the dead were killed in clashes during WW1, and that ethnic Turks also suffered in the conflict.
Jeremy Corbyn said the next generation will be most affected by the outcome of the referendum on 23 June.
He told an audience in Liverpool: "If you don't register to vote then you have no voice."
Meanwhile the Leave campaign criticised the "daily avalanche of institutional propaganda" against leaving the EU as the IMF warns of "bad" consequences.
Elsewhere on the campaign trail:
On Friday, Mr Corbyn launched a voter registration drive in Liverpool, telling an audience of young voters that their future was at stake.
Polls suggest that the under-30s are the most pro-EU but are least likely to vote, while older voters are more likely to favour Brexit.
If you are not on the electoral register and you want to vote in the EU referendum you have until midnight on Tuesday, 7 June to submit an application for a vote.

The UK's EU vote: All you need to know
The Labour leader urged young voters to make sure they registered to vote in the referendum on 23 June: "Take destiny in your own hands, register to vote and make your decision. Don't let somebody else make it for you."
He said it would be "young people who will make the difference" and urged them to embrace the idea of people working together across Europe to tackle climate change, inequality and to "hold global corporations to account"
This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe.
Later, in a speech at Oxford University, former Conservative PM John Major will suggest some of his party colleagues who are campaigning for the UK to leave the EU risk "morphing into UKIP" by turning "to their default position - immigration".
"This is their trump card. I urge them to take care, this is dangerous territory that - if handled carelessly - can open up long-term divisions in our society," he will say.
But UKIP leader Nigel Farage told LBC Radio that the "Remain" campaign knew that "the strongest hand that the Leave camp have got is that by leaving the EU, we get back control of our borders and we would be able to put in place an Australian-style points system."
But he said the official Vote Leave campaign, of which UKIP is not a part, "don't think I should exist" and were "more concerned about Conservative Party politics" than winning the referendum.
Asked about Bank of England Governor Mark Carney's comments on Thursday that a vote to leave could hit the UK economy, Mr Farage dismissed "all these forecasts of doom and gloom" adding: "Mr Carney is paid out of the public purse and is doing the government's bidding isn't he?"
He added: "The whole apparatus of government at every level is being mobilised to tell us what we should think.... I suspect he would be fired if he didn't take the government's side."
A report by the influential Public Accounts Committee (PAC) concluded an attempt to upgrade NHS computer systems in England ended up becoming one of the "worst and most expensive contracting fiascos" in public sector history.
The final bill for abandoning the plan is still uncertain, the committee said.
Ministers initially put the costs of the NHS scheme's failure at £6.4bn.
Officials later revised the total to £9.8bn, but the PAC said this latest estimate failed to include a price for terminating a contract with Fujitsu to provide care records systems and other future costs.
The project was launched in 2002, with the aim of revolutionising the way technology is used in the health service by paving the way for electronic records, digital scanning and integrated IT systems across hospitals and community care.
Hit by technical problems and contractual wrangling, it was effectively disbanded by the government two years ago.
MPs on the PAC said some outstanding costs remain and committee member Richard Bacon said: "The taxpayer is continuing to pay the price for the ill-fated national programme for IT in the NHS.
"Although officially dismantled (it) continues in the form of separate component programmes which are still racking up big costs."
He highlighted a government decision to renegotiate £3.1bn worth of contracts with outsourcing company CSC, charged with setting up a care records system known as Lorenzo in the North, Midlands and east of England.
"Despite the contractor's weak performance, the Department of Health is itself in a weak position in its attempts to renegotiate the contracts," Mr Bacon said.
"The department's latest estimate of £9.8bn leaves out the future costs of Lorenzo or the potential large future costs arising from the department's termination of Fujitsu's contract for care records systems in the south of England."
The report added that delays and problems with changes to benefit payments - another huge government IT project - showed ministers had not "learned and applied lessons" from the fallout.
"This saga is one of the worst and most expensive contracting fiascos in the history of the public sector," Mr Bacon added.

The Westbury cement works were constructed in the early 1960s and mothballed in 2009.
The chimney is one of the tallest structures in the West and explosives experts will be brought in to demolish it.
Demolition site manager Nigel Osman said the chimney has been a feature of the Wiltshire landscape for decades: "You see the chimney and you know you're home."
Will Glennon reports.
The step is part of new guidance from the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
It relates to how evidence should be collected immediately after a member of the public has died or been seriously injured during contact with the police.
But the Police Federation said the move was "without cause".
The guidance proposes that key policing witnesses should be separated as soon as it is "operationally safe" until after they have provided their personal initial account.
The IPCC said separating officers after an incident to prevent conferring was designed to ensure officers provide individual accounts of only what they saw, heard and did.
This avoids actual or perceived collusion or their accounts being unintentionally influenced by those of others, the watchdog said.
The issue of conferring among officers came under the spotlight following the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan in 2011. A jury later concluded he was lawfully killed by police.
IPCC deputy chair Sarah Green said: "The measures we have outlined do not treat police officers as suspects, but as witnesses whose early individual accounts will help ensure the integrity and smooth running of the critical early stages in any investigation."
Che Donald, firearms lead for the Police Federation of England and Wales, said officers were "under no illusion" of the scrutiny they face following a death or serious incident.
He added: "They are witnesses first and foremost and to separate them in the immediate aftermath of a highly traumatic incident is neither proportionate nor necessary and without cause."
If approved by the home secretary, all police forces in England and Wales would be obliged to make use of the new guidance in the event of fatalities or serious injuries resulting from firearms operations, incidents in custody or other police contact.
Duddingston House Properties (DHP) and the Urbanist Group are to launch a pre-planning application next month to convert the old Royal High School on Calton Hill.
Along with institutional investors, they have raised more than £55m for the project.
The former boys' school opened in 1829 but has remained empty since 1968.
It was originally designed by Thomas Hamilton.
The City of Edinburgh Council, which owns the A-listed building, granted DHP a 125-year conditional ground lease after the company won an open competition in 2010.
The developers said several unnamed hotel operators had been shortlisted as frontrunners to manage the new hotel, if permission is granted.
They added that the hotel was "likely" to create 640 local jobs and contribute an average of £27m annually to Edinburgh's GDP.
David Orr, of the Urbanist Group, said: "What we are proposing to do is to add something truly special to the Edinburgh hotel market by bringing one of the best hotel operators in the world to the city.
"This will not in any way diminish current hotel provision; indeed it will add another tier at the top which can only benefit all of the city's operators.
"By increasing the breadth of hotel offering, Scotland's capital will be in a position to attract new visitors from the top end of the market as well as improve its ability to compete with other European cities for international diplomatic events and important global conferences.
"But importantly, one of Edinburgh's architectural jewels in the crown will be sensitively restored and the public will have access to Hamilton's superb building for the first time."
The developers are due to submit a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) to the council in January, followed by three days of public consultations at the old Royal High School in February.
Torquil Johnson-Ferguson, 65, from Canonbie in Dumfries and Galloway, abused three boys aged 13 or under at the Rua Fiola centre.
He was convicted of three charges of lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour.
Johnson-Ferguson was jailed for 18 months at Oban Sheriff Court.
He was also put on the sex offenders register for 10 years.
Details of the outcome of the hearing were confirmed by the Crown Office.
Johnson-Ferguson owns the island in the Firth of Lorn and, until recently, operated an activity centre there.
From 1976, the centre ran week-long courses during the summer months, offering kayaking, rock climbing and survival skills targeted at nine to 14-year-old boys from private schools throughout the UK.
Prosecutors said it was during those courses, that on three separate occasions - between 1981 and 1986 - Johnson-Ferguson carried out the sexual assaults on the boys.
Speaking after the sentencing, Procurator Fiscal Fraser Gibson said: "Torquil Johnson-Ferguson was in position of trust and abused that to prey on vulnerable young boys.
"For nearly 30 years he may well have thought that he had escaped justice but he was wrong and is now paying the consequences for his actions.
"I would urge any victims of sexual crimes, even ones which occurred decades ago, to come forward and report them.
"They will be treated with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity by the police and our expert prosecutors and we will do all we can to deliver justice."
Aftab Hussain, 37, of Holywell Place, Rotherham admitted two counts of inciting sexual activity with a child at Sheffield Crown Court last month.
Hussain also pleaded guilty to attempted witness intimidation after he made threats to hurt the girl if she told anyone about the messages.
He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register.

South Yorkshire Police said Hussain first contacted the girl in September 2015 via social media.
Officers found Hussain, who worked as a takeaway delivery driver, met the girl and took her out in his car while he was making deliveries.
Det Insp John Fitzgibbons said: "I hope that the positive result at court today offers further reassurance to the victim in this case, as well as victims out there who are yet to come forward, that we will do whatever we can to bring these vile criminals before the courts.
"Hussain is now behind bars where he can cause no further harm and I hope this allows the victim, who has been so brave throughout the investigation and court process, a chance to begin to rebuild her life."
It announces that one Rupert Harrison - the former chief of staff to the chancellor - is joining the business, as chief macro-strategist for multi-asset funds that invest in equities, bonds and cash.
"Rupert's appointment shows BlackRock's continued commitment to attracting people from a broad range of backgrounds to ensure we have the expertise, knowledge, and cultural perspective to provide solutions for the diverse needs of our clients," the message says.
Mr Harrison was often known as the "real chancellor" in government circles given his closeness to the actual chancellor, his role formulating policy and his ability to brief ministers and journalists on the various schemes being implemented by the Treasury.
Mr Harrison, for example, was talking privately about selling the initial chunk of the government's stake in RBS at a loss as much as a year ago.
Yesterday, George Osborne confirmed that would indeed be the government's approach.
Mr Harrison was also someone quickly persuaded that the Conservative's 2010 position on airport expansion in the south-east of England - ie there wouldn't be a third runway at Heathrow - was not sustainable.
David Cameron, with enthusiastic backing from Mr Osborne, subsequently set up the Airports Commission to look at reversing the policy. It will report in the next few weeks, having already proposed that there should be an increase in airport capacity around London.
I am told that at Mr Harrison's recent leaving do, George Osborne joked that it had been an honour to serve in Mr Harrison's Treasury.
Will Mr Harrison one day return to politics, and realise a long-held ambition to become an MP?
Whatever he decides, it seems it will be a long process. Those close to Mr Harrison say he wants to commit to his new life in the private sector for at least a decade before he makes any decisions on where next.
But, interestingly, Mr Harrison did decide against joining a hedge fund for his first major job in the private sector - aware that reputationally it might not be the most advisable, given the short term and controversial nature of many of them.
His job at BlackRock will focus on considering long-term investment strategies and economic trends across the globe.
So, possibly not for the general election in 2020, but by 2025, maybe Rupert Harrison MP will be on the cards.
The seven-part series, to be shown later this year, will aim to highlight recent scientific discoveries.
Filming innovations include suction cameras fitted to the backs of orcas.
"I am truly thrilled to be joining this new exploration of the underwater worlds which cover most of our planet, yet are still its least known," Sir David said.
The BBC's Natural History Unit spent four years filming off every continent and in every ocean for Blue Planet II, with support from marine scientists.
James Honeyborne, the series' executive producer, said: "The oceans are the most exciting place to be right now, because new scientific discoveries have given us a new perspective of life beneath the waves.
"Blue Planet II is taking its cue from these breakthroughs, unveiling unbelievable new places, extraordinary new behaviours and remarkable new creatures. Showing a contemporary portrait of marine life, it will provide a timely reminder that this is a critical moment for the health of the world's oceans."
Among the recent discoveries caught on camera are a tuskfish that uses tools and a new species of crab with a hairy chest - nicknamed the "Hoff crab" after Baywatch star David Hasselhoff.
The Natural History Unit's new filming techniques include "tow cams" that can capture predatory fish and dolphins head-on, suction cams which attach to the back of whale sharks and orcas for a creature's-eye view, and a probe camera that can record miniature marine life.
The BBC said the crew caught unusual examples of marine behaviour on camera, such as a coral grouper and reef octopus with sophisticated hunting techniques, a giant trevally fish that catches birds in flight, and a dive with a sperm whale mother and her calf.
It said the series would also explore new landscapes from methane volcanoes erupting in the Gulf of Mexico to the Antarctic deep at 1,000m, filmed using manned submersibles.
The Blue Planet was watched by more than 12 million people in 2001 and won Baftas and Emmy awards for both cinematography and music. The sequel will be broadcast on BBC One later this year.
It is the first documentary to be endorsed by Houston's estate, following her death at the age of 48, in 2012.
"I want audiences to walk out of the cinema and feel positive about Whitney and her music," said Macdonald, who directed The Last King of Scotland.
He said the film would chart Houston's rise from gospel singer to global star.
The film will include interviews with friends, family and collaborators, including Clive Davis, founder and president of Arista Records, who is credited with discovering the singer.
The filmmaking team will also have access to exclusive demo recordings, rare performances and audio archive.
"I want to reveal a woman that even her most die-hard fans never knew; and a woman those new to her life and music will never forget," said Macdonald, whose documentary includes Touching the Void and One Day in September.
"She changed the way pop music was sung - bringing it back full circle to its blues and gospel roots."
"Although we won't shy away from the darker parts of Whitney's life - her descent into addiction - I want audiences to walk out of the cinema and feel positive about Whitney and her music."
Houston was one of the most celebrated female singers of all time, with hits including I Will Always Love You and Saving All My Love For You.
She won two Emmys, six Grammys, and more than 20 American Music Awards, but her later career was overshadowed by drug abuse and her turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown.
She was found drowned in a hotel bath in Los Angeles on the eve of the Grammy Awards.
In 2015, Houston's family has heavily criticised a biopic of the star, directed by actress Angela Bassett. The film, which premiered on the Lifetime channel, was made without the family's blessing.
Macdonald's documentary will be released in the UK in 2017.
Rovers' first half dominance was rewarded by James Coppinger's superb free-kick, but Andy Williams and Tommy Rowe both missed good chances.
The pair made amends soon after the restart when they combined well for Williams to double the lead.

In Thursday's first semi-final Rwanda overcame Sudan 4-2 in their penalty shoot-out and Uganda completed the final line-up by winning their spotkicks duel with Ethiopa 5-3.
Rwanda were forced to come from behind against Sudan, who had Bakri Osman Idriss sent off after only 10 minutes of the match but kept their opponents out and then made the breakthrough in extra-time.
Atahir El Tahir then gave Sudan the lead after 100 minutes but Rwanda levelled through Jean Baptiste Mugiranza 10 minutes later.
And Rwanda clinched victory after Sudan's El Tahir and Mazin Elfalah Ahmed missed their spot-kicks.
Rwanda coach Johnny McKinstry said: "My young team has done the country proud by reaching the final."
The Northern Irishman is also using the tournament to prepare his team for the 2016 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) which will be hosted by Rwanda.
Uganda, the 13-time record winners of the regional tournament, were held to a 0-0 draw with hosts Ethiopia after extra-time.
The Cranes goalkeeper Ismail Watenga saved Gatoch Panom's first penalty in the shootout and his side never surrendered their advantage. Skipper Farouk Miya struck the winning kick.
The two finalists will also take part in the 2016 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) to be hosted by Rwanda.
While Uganda is chasing a record 14th title, Rwanda only won the trophy once in 1999.
Proposals already exist for a £17m museum at Auckland Castle in Bishop Auckland, where religious paintings by Spanish artist Francisco Zurbaran hang.
Now planning permission for additional schemes costing more than £7m is to be sought before the end of the year.
They include a £3.5m gallery dedicated to Spanish art and a £1.5m study area.
Auckland Castle Trust, which owns the former Bishop's home, said it hoped the redevelopment would attract 130,000 visitors a year.
Building work is due to begin in 2015 and take about three years.
The castle's current biggest attractions are the Zurbaran paintings, which have hung in the castle for 250 years.
Trust chief executive David Ronn said: "Our aim in all this is to be a catalyst for the regeneration of Bishop Auckland and especially the historic and very fine Market Square.
"The work of the Trust over the last two years has created 40 jobs, with 80% of those employed living within 20 miles of the castle and there are many more to come."
The action will take place on 22 June, while a ban on overtime and work-to-rule will be carried out next week.
The dispute is over proposed changes to pensions which could see employees retiring at 65 instead of 60.
The union Community said workers had been left with "no option" but to strike. Tata Steel said it was "very disappointed".
Tata has four sites in Wales in Port Talbot, Newport, Flintshire and Carmarthenshire, as well as sites in England including Corby, Hartlepool, Rotherham, Scunthorpe, Teesside and York.
Reacting to news of the strike, a Tata Steel spokesman said: "We have been trying to develop an affordable and sustainable pension scheme for employees so we are very disappointed by today's announcement on strike and industrial action.
"Everyone agrees that changes need to be made to resolve the challenges facing our pension scheme, which has a projected shortfall of over £2 billion.
"We will soon be announcing new measures which will lessen the impact of the proposed pension changes, particularly on our longest-serving employees nearing retirement age."
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the Community trade union, said Tata had given workers "no option" but to take industrial action.
He said: "The company has not shown any willingness to return to meaningful negotiations to find an end to this dispute.
"The company could avoid this by returning to the table."
They sniff and sip a type of Oolong tea from tiny, white china cups while making notes on its aroma, body and aftertaste, and consider what food with which to pair it.
Part of a generation that had eschewed tea leaves in favour of the lattés, espressos and frappucinos sold by international chains like Starbucks, young Chinese are rediscovering the country's tea drinking tradition.
And in doing so, they have sparked a boom that is both a cultural and business phenomenon.
"My parents drink tea like this every day but I seldom do," says Sharon Ho, a 30-year-old who works in accounting, as she sips a cup of Wuyi Dark Rock Oolong tea grown in the mountains in Fujian province in southeastern China.
"Normally I drink coffee, but as Chinese we should know about this."
Prices of rare, high-end Chinese teas - such as Pu Erh, a black, fermented tea that can be aged for up to 100 years, or First Flush Longjin, a freshly picked green tea - have rocketed over the past decade.
The industry has been shaped in ways that parallel the Western captivation with wine, with tea becoming a distinctly Chinese way to flaunt your wealth and invest your savings.
Vivian Mak, the tea master who runs the tastings, brews the tea in the traditional way using small fine china tea sets and metal implements on a wooden tray that drains off excess water. But she prides herself on taking an innovative approach to an old industry.
Her signature drink is a jasmine blossom-scented green tea she likes to serve in a martini glass. She serves the fragrant and visually arresting beverage as an alternative to wine at corporate events for clients like Goldman Sachs.
"There's not too much water inside, so you can sip while you mingle," she says.
Mak believes different Chinese teas can complement any type of cuisine, be it a nutty, malty Longjing green tea with a Chinese seafood dish, or a stronger Oolong tea to accompany a hearty French casserole. She also likes to pair teas with different types of chocolate.
"It's like wine. You serve something more gentle or with more body depending on what you eat. Tea is the same way."
Ricky Szeto, the executive director of Hong Kong herbal tea maker Hung Fook Tong, has also found business success repackaging a traditional product in a manner that catches the attention of younger consumers.
Teas infused with medicinal herbs have long been a popular drink in southern China to help relieve the effects of hot and humid summers and damp winters.
Traditionally sold by the bowlful at corner shops from bronze urns, Mr Szeto says the business was a "sunset industry" by the 1980s, when vendors were hit by sky-rocketing rents.
Today, Hung Fook Tong's bottled drinks feature ingredients like ginseng, chrysanthemum, honey and goji berries, and are stocked at supermarkets and convenience stores across Hong Kong and China.
The company also has 93 stores in Hong Kong and 32 across the border in China that sell freshly made herbal drinks and snacks.
One of Hung Fook Tong's best-selling products is Tortoise Plastron Jelly, a black, slightly bitter concoction made from the underbelly of a tortoise that folk medicine claims is good for the complexion. It is sold in an aluminium bag, like an energy drink.
"People love something traditional, but with the trendy packaging," he says.
Mr Szeto says demand is strong, with sales increasing at 20% a year, and turnover is expected to be around 700m Hong Kong dollars ($90m; £56m) this year.
Overseas companies have taken note of the boom. In 2010 Starbucks, which opened one outlet in China every four days last year, began selling three types of traditional Chinese tea alongside its myriad coffee-related products.
And Rahul Kale, director of international business at Typhoo Tea, sees opportunity in China for its stable of teas that include specialty brands such as Heath & Heather Infusions and Ridgways as well its namesake mainstream UK brand of black tea.
"The palate is shifting from 100% Chinese teas to something much wider," he says. "And Chinese like foreign brands." But for now, China accounts for only about 1% of Typhoo's sales.
China's large market hasn't spawned a well-established domestic tea chain. According to the China Tea Marketing Association, there are more than 60,000 tea houses scattered across the country, most independently run.
Once a place where average people could relax over a game of cards or mah-jong and pay next to nothing for their fragrant beverage, many tea houses now target affluent businessmen seeking a place to negotiate deals. They pay by the hour for a room plus the tea they drink.
The move upmarket is reflected by the eye-popping prices some types of Chinese tea command. A compressed cake (around 345g) of Pu Erh dating back to the first half of the last century can be sold for up to HK$200,000 (more than $25,000).
Sellers charge a premium for leaves picked from older plants, wild trees or particular mountain ranges. Enthusiasts talk about oxidation or fermentation levels, loose-leaf versus pressed, and whether the tea was harvested in the spring or the summer.
The hype has prompted one entrepreneur in the southwestern province of Sichuan to grow a tea fertilised by panda dung that costs $3,500 for 50 grammes.
However, connoisseurs like Ms Mak in Hong Kong are sceptical of buying tea for investment purposes. There is no empirical way to establish a tea's provenance, so buyers are easily duped.
"It's too speculative," she says. "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, you have to focus on the taste."

Tries from Kotaro Matsushima and Yoshikazu Fujita helped them into an 18-8 half-time lead, with Takudzwa Ngwenya crossing for the US.
Amanaki Mafi burst through for Japan's third try before Chris Wyles crossed to give the United States hope.
But Goromaru's third penalty late in the game gave Japan a clear lead.
After their thrilling opening win against South Africa, Japan went on to add the scalps of Samoa and the US, but their heavy defeat by Scotland left them third in the group, and they miss out on a place in the last eight.
The Eagles finish having lost all four of their matches.
Japan, who left Kingsholm to a standing ovation after a lap of honour, host the competition in four years' time and will go into that tournament buoyed by an excellent World Cup on English soil.
They had only ever won one match at a World Cup before, and their three victories in England represent a significant improvement.
Japan are the first non-tier-one team to win three matches at a single Rugby World Cup.
Full-back Ayumu Goromaru is the first player to score more than 50 points in a single RWC campaign for Japan. At the end of the pool stage, only Greig Laidlaw (60) has scored more than him in 2015 (58).
Eric Fry became the seventh player to get a yellow card for the USA in a RWC match.
Japan's win brought to an end a highly-competitive and entertaining pool stage. The quarter-finalists are now known as the 2015 tournament reaches the business end.

Late-stage disease is found in about 25% of black African and 22% of black Caribbean breast cancer patients.
In white breast cancer patients, the figure is 13%.
Experts say there are many reasons for this. Vital ones to change are low awareness of symptoms and screening.
According to Cancer Research UK, black women are less likely than white women to go for a mammogram when invited by the NHS.
Spotting cancer early is important because the sooner it can be treated, the better the outcome.
A support group in Leeds helps women of black African and Caribbean descent who have either had breast cancer themselves or have loved ones who have.
One woman there told the BBC: "A lot of us black people bury our head in the sand. 'Oh, me, well, I don't need to go, there's nothing wrong with me.'"
Another said: "I find a lot of people, they'll find out something is wrong but they keep it to themselves and they're praying. They're praying that God will heal them."
Heather Nelson, who works for BME Cancer Voice, said: "Women, especially women of colour, are less likely to go for screening.
"You'll get leaflets through your door and they will be predominantly of white, middle-class women. There's no representation of South Asian, African descent et cetera.
"If you get information like that, you're going to look and think, 'That's not about me.'"
Most breast cancers are still diagnosed at an early stage, across all ethnic groups, the data for 2012-13 shows.
Dr Julie Sharp, of Cancer Research UK, said: "If you notice something that isn't normal for you, or you've a symptom that's not gone away or has got worse, getting it checked out promptly could save your life."
Lumps are not the only sign of possible breast cancer.
Women should also get checked if they notice any changes to their breasts such as nipple discharge or changes to the skin.
Breast screening (mammogram) is offered to all women in England aged 50-70.
The NHS is in the process of extending the programme as a trial, offering screening to some women aged 47-73.
Women over the age of 70 will stop receiving screening invitations but can arrange an appointment by contacting their local screening unit.

Back in September 1963, when Sussex played Worcestershire in the first Gillette Cup final, Harold MacMillan was Prime Minister, The Beatles were poised to top the charts with 'She Loves You' and a gallon of petrol cost half a crown, the same price as a pint and a packet of cigarettes,
Meanwhile, the nation's police were busy hunting for the Great Train robbers (except for Ronnie Biggs, who had been arrested the previous day) and Bill Shankly's Liverpool were still eight months away from winning their first league title.
Much has changed since, and the game of cricket is very different to that played half a century ago.
Ask both winning wicketkeeper Jim Parks and Worcestershire spinner Norman Gifford where the biggest changes have come since Sussex's narrow 14-run victory at Lord's that day and, to a man, they both say out in the middle.
"The game as they play it is totally different to how it was then," Parks, now 82, told BBC Sport. "I still enjoy watching it though."
Gifford, 73, added: "There are things people don't like about cricket now. But the main thing is that, especially at international level, it still fills grounds and that's got to be good for the game."
Nevertheless, as can be judged from the wonderful stories told when Gifford was invited to join the seven Sussex survivors from that day in attending a 50th anniversary lunch in Hove last week, it does not stop either of the two former England players wistfully remembering the good old days.
When the two captains, Sussex's Ted Dexter and Worcestershire's Don Kenyon, trotted down the pavilion steps to toss up in September 1963, they did so wearing blazers, with their whites underneath, to decide who should take first use of a pitch for a 65-over contest, to be played out between the scheduled hours of 1100-1930.
This Saturday's final, only 40 overs per side, will be an hour and three-quarters - and 50 overs - shorter, which says a lot about modern-day over rates.
It only took a year before Gillette Cup cricket was whittled down to 60-a-side, the Benson & Hedges Cup then began its 30-year life in 1972 as a 55-over contest and, in 1999, the main Lord's final became a 50-over competition, to be brought in line with one-day internationals.
Next summer it all goes full circle again when the 40-over competition reverts to 50 overs.
On Saturday, if Glamorgan bat, it will be their number 28, Gareth Rees, who takes first strike. If they bowl, it will be their number 31 Michael Hogan running in from the Nursery End, clad in royal blue.
In 1963, Worcestershire's Jack Flavell bowled the first ball of the day to Sussex opener Richard Langridge, numbers 11 and one on the scorecard.
There were no coloured kits, no fielding circles, no powerplays, no loud music when a wicket fell and, given that marketing departments were still a thing of the future, neither team felt the need to tag any suffix to their name like Sharks, Royals, Dragons or Outlaws.
Most professional cricketers played from May to September, then spent the winter months plying a different trade, from selling insurance to paraffin or even, as in the case of one former Sussex player, Christmas trees.
Sussex played at Hove, not the BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground, while this year's finalists Glamorgan had not, by then even begun playing at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, let alone renamed it.
But, as both Gifford and Parks insist, what has changed most is the way they play the game.
"For us, that day at Lord's was only the fourth game of one-day cricket the county had ever played," recalls Parks. "But there has always been league cricket. And we were just lucky that we had a captain in Ted Dexter who had worked out how to play it.
"We'd done our homework. I was vice captain and we had sat down and worked out what we were going to do.
"When we played Kent at Tunbridge Wells in the first round, Colin Cowdrey was their captain.
"He kept in two slips all the way through and we piled up over 300.
"When they batted, Ted had players scattered all over the field, we won by 72 runs and we received an official letter from Kent, saying how disgusted they were with our tactics and that it was not in the spirit of cricket."
Cricket's first recorded 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' or not, it would be two years before the rest cottoned on as Sussex went on to win both the first two one-day finals, following their victory over Worcestershire, by doing the same to Warwickshire a year later, in 1964.
While Parks was the top scorer in the match that day at Lord's in 1963 with 57, the man of the match award, rarely for someone on the losing team, actually went to Gifford, who took 4-33 in his 15 overs.
But Gifford generously maintains that they picked the wrong man.
"They should have given it to Jim," he said. "It was a sticky wicket, as they only had one cover for the wicket and rain had got underneath, and he batted magnificently.
"He was perfect for one-day cricket. He was a player who was never afraid to hit over the top."
Recalled Parks: "I did like to lift the ball. I remember once playing Yorkshire and putting Tony Nicholson four times over the square cover boundary for six.
"But we had to bat properly that day at Lord's. We were bowled out for 168 in the 61st over and you'd have thought that might not have been enough.
"But Ted came up with another inspired idea. Having seen what Giffy had done, he put on Alan Oakman, who was only then an occasional off spinner, who had not previously bowled in the competition. he took 1-17 in 13 overs, including the key wicket of Tom Graveney - and they came up short."
Gifford was able to cash in that day on the joys of uncovered pitches, as did many a decent spinner in his day, most notoriously Kent's 'Deadly' Derek Underwood.
But, despite the frustration of spending too much of his is career playing second fiddle to Underwood when it came to England selection, and a record of six times being a beaten finalist, Gifford's only regret remains that he did not get the chance to play more one-day cricket.
"I lost there four times with Worcestershire, once with Warwickshire and once more when I was coaching Sussex.
"Even my brother Dave lost there when he played there in the Village final for Lindal Moor in the 1977 final (ironically against Worcestershire side Cookley).
"So the Gifford family do not have a great track record at Lord's.
"But I loved it. In fact, if it had not been for one-day cricket, I might have packed in the game sooner than I did."
The American, 34, won 6-2 6-3 to pass Roger Federer in the all-time list of matches won at the tennis majors.
She moves on to the quarter-finals, where she will face Romanian fifth seed Simona Halep, who beat Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2 7-5.
"It's a huge number," Williams said of her record 308th win.
"I think it's very significant actually. I definitely never thought I would be playing still. Now I don't really see when I'm going to stop.
"I'm just enjoying these moments out here, getting to break records that I didn't even know existed or I didn't even know was possible.''
Halep has lost seven of eight matches against Williams but hopes that will at least keep the pressure off in their quarter-final.
Ana Konjuh, 18, became the first Croat to reach the women's quarter-finals at the US Open with a shock 6-4 6-4 win over fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska.
Konjuh hit 38 winners including six aces as she avenged a second-round loss to her Polish opponent at Wimbledon.
"It's been an incredible night," said the 2013 US Open junior champion after she made it past the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time.
"This time I got revenge, so I'm really happy."
Konjuh will now face Czech 10th seed Karolina Pliskova, who saved a match point as she beat Venus Williams 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-3).
"Whenever you have a match point on someone else's serve, it's a little bit of an asterisk," said Williams. "I really have no regrets on that."
Police said the blue Ford transit van overturned into a hedge under a bridge on Maesgwyn Road, Fishguard, at about 10:15 BST on Tuesday.
It is believed the vehicle rolled down the road when it was empty and the man became trapped after running after it.
Fire crews used cutting equipment and airbags to free him.

Mr Greenwald recently published allegations that US officials monitored communications of the Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff.
Another recent report accused US authorities of spying on Brazil's oil company Petrobras.
The firm's president and five Brazilian ministers are also expected to testify.
Mr Greenwald's partner, David Miranda, who was held for more than eight hours by British authorities at a London airport on his way back to Brazil, is also expected to testify to the parliamentary commission.
The Rio de Janeiro-based journalist's allegations are based on documents leaked by the fugitive American former intelligence worker, Edward Snowden.
Mr Greenwald spoke about the spying allegations before the Brazilian Congress in August.
Ms Rousseff is expected to go ahead with a planned visit to Washington in October, despite fierce criticism in Brazil over the allegations of spying by US officials.
The Brazilian investigative commission wants to probe whether the alleged spying on Petrobras could have compromised the integrity of the public auction of a major oil field in October.
The Senators will invite the Minister of Communications, Paulo Bernardo, the Justice Minister, Jose Eduardo Cardozo, the Defence Minister, Celso Amorim, the Foreign Relations Minister, Luiz Figueiredo, and the Minister of the Institutional Security Office, Jose Elito, to testify.
US President Barack Obama has already vowed to investigate allegations that the National Security Agency (NSA) spied on his Mexican and Brazilian counterparts.
Mr Greenwald, a reporter for the British Guardian newspaper, alleged the NSA spied on communications between aides of Ms Rousseff and accessed all internet content that she had visited online.
Mr Greenwald was the first journalist to reveal the secret documents leaked by Mr Snowden on 6 June. Since then, he has written a series of stories about surveillance by US and UK authorities.
She was one of Hollywood's best loved actresses, after portraying the galactic heroine who was known for being smart, feisty, and brave.
The American star first played the role in 1977, nearly 40 years ago, in the very first Star Wars film - "Episode IV -- A New Hope".
Since then, Star Wars has become one of the most successful film franchises of all time with eight films enjoyed by millions of fans around the world.
Most recently Carrie Fisher starred in "The Force Awakens" which was released in 2015.
You might even have spotted her in "Rogue One" which premiered this month, although her image had to be computer generated, because the character of Leia was very young in that film.
As well as acting, Carrie Fisher was famous for raising awareness about mental health, by speaking about her own problems and advising people on how to get help.
Actors and fans around the world have been paying tribute to the star.
Star Wars' creator George Lucas said: "She was our great and powerful princess. She will be missed by all."
Judges dismissed a government appeal against a Court of Appeal ruling in favour of Paul and Susan Rutherford, who care for their grandson Warren.
The Supreme Court ruled the housing benefit cut discriminated against them.
Mr Rutherford, of Clunderwen, Pembrokeshire, said: "We are happy and hugely relieved with today's result."
The Rutherfords argued the room was essential because it was used by carers who look after Warren overnight and said the £14 a week reduction to their benefits was unlawful.
Warren suffers from a rare genetic disorder which means he is unable to walk or talk and cannot feed himself and needs 24-hour care.
In the same hearing, Jacqueline Carmichael, from Southport, Merseyside, who has spina bifida, won a similar ruling.
Judges unanimously ruled "the scheme in relation to her is discriminatory".
However, judges rejected the cases of five others who have had their housing benefit reduced as a result of the government's changes.
A Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) spokesman said: "In the two specific cases where the court did not find in our favour, we will take steps to ensure we comply with the judgement in due course."
Sophie Earnshaw from the legal team at Child Poverty Action Group, which acted for the Rutherfords, said: "In this case, disabled children were being treated worse than adults.
"For Paul and Susan Rutherford, the judgment lifts an enormous burden of uncertainty about their grandson's future - an uncertainty they've had to live with since 2013 when the legal process started."
Mr Rutherford added: "It has been an extremely stressful and long three years and we are glad that it is has come to a close.
"We never imagined this would happen to us - our priority has always been Warren's happiness. We can now move on with our lives secure in the knowledge that we can continue to care for Warren at home."
Those who had their cases dismissed were:
The Seven Dials junction was labelled the "most accident prone" by Brighton and Hove City Council, with 20 accidents in the past three years.
An elm tree was due to be removed, but was saved after two protesters spent 48 hours up the tree in March.
The work included replacing a mini-roundabout and removing street clutter.
Guard railings have also been removed and the paving has been replaced.
The seven roads that meet at Seven Dials include the A2010, a major route through Brighton.
Bindon Bottom B&B, in West Lulworth, Dorset, beat competitors in Florida, Prague and Belgium to claim the crown.
Bridlington's South Lodge Guest House and Swallows Rest B&B, in Brigstock, Northants, came third and fifth.
A spokesperson for Visit England said the results were "fantastic news".
Lisa and Clive Orchard, who own Bindon Bottom B&B, said, "We are genuinely appreciative to be recognised again in this year's Travellers' Choice Awards, and we want to sincerely thank all of our guests for reviewing us so kindly."
The Orchard's guest house saw off competition from B&Bs in the US, Czech Republic, Italy and Belgium to claim the top spot. The B&B has received 929 excellent reviews out of a total of 940
TripAdvisor spokeswoman Hayley Coleman said the awards, now in their 15th year, are "unlike other hospitality awards".
"[The awards] are based on feedback from actual guests over the past year, which is what makes them so prized within the industry," she said.
Clare and David Petty, owners of Thornleigh Guest House, in Keswick said they were "delighted" to feature in the top ten.
"A huge thank you to all of our lovely guests for choosing to stay with us and writing such wonderful reviews."
Visit England said: "It is fantastic news that five of England's B&Bs are rated by travellers in the top 10 globally, including the top spot.
"This continues the upward trend we've seen in recent years demonstrating that our tourism, accommodation and service is not only exceeding customer expectations but up there competing with the world's very best."
The man, believed to be 29-year-old Egyptian Abdullah Hamamy, was shot in the stomach as, authorities say, he lunged at soldiers with the knives.
President Francois Hollande says there is little doubt it was a terrorist act.
But Mr Hamamy's father has challenged the French authorities' account of the incident.
Reda al-Hamamy, a retired Egyptian police general, said his son was not a terrorist and accused the soldier who fired of "using brute force with a poor young man".
French authorities say the suspect also shouted the Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest") during the attack.
The suspect has been held at a Paris hospital since the attack near the museum, which houses numerous celebrated art works, including the Mona Lisa.
"The first interview took place this morning, but it turned out to be a short one. For the moment, he refuses to talk to investigators," the source at the prosecutor's office told Reuters.
Investigators have contacted Egyptian officials to try to confirm the suspect's identity through DNA testing, a source close to the inquiry told AFP news agency.
Reda al-Hamamy said his son was in Paris on a business trip, lives in the United Arab Emirates, and has a wife and a seven-month old son.
Police are also examining Mr Hamamy's Twitter account after around a dozen messages were posted in Arabic just minutes before the attack.
"In the name of Allah... for our brothers in Syria and fighters across the world," he wrote, before referring to the Islamic State jihadist group in another tweet a minute later, AFP says.
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.
Hundreds of visitors were inside the museum at the time of the attack and were evacuated.
US media reports said Russia has sent advisers and hardware to Syria, in what Washington fears is an expansion of its support for President Bashar al-Assad.
Any such development would "escalate the conflict", Mr Kerry told his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
Russia has been a key ally of Syria throughout its four-year civil war.
The New York Times cited US officials as saying Russia had despatched an advance military team to Syria, as well as housing units and an air traffic control centre to an airfield.
The officials quoted admitted they were unsure of Moscow's intentions, but said the deployments could enable Russia to use the airbase to facilitate supply of military gear or to launch air strikes against Mr Assad's enemies.
Mr Kerry made his concerns over the reports known to the Russian Foreign Minister in a phone call.
"If such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-Isil coalition operating in Syria," the state department said, using an alternative acronym for Islamic State (IS).
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday it was "premature" to talk about Moscow getting involved in direct fighting.
Russia and the US disagree sharply on Syria. While Russia has backed the Syrian government, and provided it with arms, the US wants to see the removal of President Assad.
In the latest fighting on the ground, at least 47 people died in fierce clashes between IS militants and other rebels in the northern town of Marea.
At least six members of Syria's security forces were shot dead in the south-western city of Sweida, after a prominent cleric in the minority Druze community died in a car bomb blast.

Sir Michael said it had been a mistake to drop the tests (known as Sats) at the end of Key Stage 3 in 2008.
He also said Sats taken at age seven should be externally moderated - at present teachers conduct assessments.
Giving his annual report, said he was "strongly urging" ministers to re-introduce external tests for both ages.
He said it was vital that youngsters' progress in English and maths was regularly checked.
Last week, international rankings showed the UK was falling behind global rivals in international tests taken by 15-year-olds, failing to make the top 20 in maths, reading and science. Shanghai in China came top in the OECD's Pisa tests.
Speaking as he published his report, Sir Michael said it was important to know how pupils were doing at certain stages of their education if England was to keep up with the rest of the world.
"I am calling on the government to re-introduce more formal external testing at the end of Key Stage 1. Indeed, I would strongly urge the government to re-introduce external testing at Key Stage 3 as well.
"Talk to any good head teacher and they will tell you it was a mistake to abolish those tests. That's because good teachers use those tests to make sure every child learns well.
"In getting rid of the tests, we conceded too much ground to vested interests. Our education system should be run for the benefit of children, and no-one else.
"With the proposed abandonment of national curriculum levels, it is vital that children's progress and outcomes are benchmarked at regular intervals in their school career.
"If we are serious about raising standards and catching up with the best in the world, we need to know how pupils are doing at seven, 11, 14 and 16."
The Ofsted chief said the watchdog had evidence that some in-school assessment at the end of Key Stage 1 (age seven) was unreliable.
He said sometimes schools were depressing results at this age so that progress by the end of Key Stage 2 (age 11) looked better.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "The department launched a consultation on the primary accountability system and will be responding in due course.
"We expect teachers to take professional responsibility for the accurate assessment of pupils."
Sir Michael said the decision to abolish national curriculum tests for children in England at the end of Key Stage 3 (Year 9) had been a mistake.
The tests were dropped in October 2008 by the then Labour Education Secretary, Ed Balls, following a debacle over the marking these external assessments.
ETS Europe, the company charged with administering the tests, had its contract terminated in the summer of 2008 following delayed results and concerns about quality.
But Sir Michael said: "Our inspectors say there is a hiatus between Key Stage 2 and 4, a drop-off in the pace of learning, progress slows, pupils mark time.
"The reintroduction of Key Stage 3 tests will speed things up, develop more pace in lessons."
Asked if he feared that more testing would encourage teachers to "teach to the test", he said he had never worried about tests as a teacher and a head.
"What I worried about was the quality of teaching in the classroom. If heads are doing that then you know the test results are going to be okay."

Clement, who replaced Bob Bradley as manager at the Liberty Stadium, left his post as FC Bayern assistant boss, with the German champions set to face Arsenal in the Champions League.
"I was at Arsenal on Boxing Day as a Bayern member of staff watching them play, so I have my notes," he said.
"Hopefully we take advantage."
Clement says he does not think he needs to update his observations.
"We would have been due to play them in the Champions League with Bayern. I'll be using the notes for Swansea instead of Bayern," he said.
"The notes are the same, just looking what they do and hopefully take advantage and I'll send (Bayern boss) Carlo (Ancelotti) a photocopy."

Clement believes it will be important to create stability at Swansea as he settles in as their third boss of a torrid season.
"I am their third coach of the season and they have come off some really tough results, so confidence is low and we need to get that back up," Clement explained.
"The best way to do that is to be well-prepared. How do you get someone feeling more confident? By making sure they are as well-prepared as possible.
"I will go into a game satisfied if I know I have done everything I can to prepare the team.
"If I arrive at a game feeling I have not prepared as well as I can I will not feel so confident.
"That is my objective, to get to 3:00pm on Saturday knowing I have done everything I can.
"That might mean not giving the players too much info, just the right amount."
Clement is looking for a quick response from the players and believes Swansea must focus on fixing their defence.
"Defensive work is important because it gives you a foundation," said Clement.
"If you're difficult to beat it gives you a much better chance of winning games.
"I'm not a coach who would particularly enjoy 4-3 and 5-4 wins.
"When I coached at Derby, particularly up to the half-way point of 23 games, we had an outstanding defensive record."
The Court of Cassation rejected an appeal against their convictions for weapons possession, incitement and taking part in illegal demonstrations.
Dr Ali al-Ekri was sentenced to five years and the eight others were given between a month and three years.
Nine other medics had their convictions overturned in June and two are hiding.
The case against the medics has drawn international condemnation and has been seen as a test of the government's commitment to reform.
It dates back to February and March 2011, when they worked at the Salmaniya Medical Centre in Manama.
The hospital treated many of those hurt when the security forces crushed protests demanding more democracy and an end to discrimination against the majority Shia Muslim community by the Sunni royal family.
During the unrest, some medics at the Salmaniya Medical Centre spoke out against the crackdown in interviews with foreign media after treating the wounded, or took part in protests after ambulances were fired at.
After King Hamad declared a state of emergency and brought in troops from neighbouring Sunni Gulf states, at least 95 health workers were arrested, according to Physicians for Human Rights.
In September 2011, 20 of them were convicted by the National Safety Court, a military tribunal, of attempting to bring down the government and sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. Two were tried in absentia.
The medics and human rights groups dismissed the convictions as political and aimed at stifling dissent. Many of the defendants said they had been harassed by the security forces and then tortured in prison, simply for trying to treat people wounded in anti-government protests.
The UN's secretary general also expressed concern about the "harsh sentences" and "serious due process irregularities", and called for their release.
In November, the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) - a panel of human rights experts asked to look into the unrest - called for civilian retrials for those who had been convicted by military tribunals. It confirmed that medical personnel were tortured in custody.
The medics' cases were then referred to the Criminal Court of Appeal, which in June upheld the convictions of the nine doctors. The court did, however, reduce the sentences imposed by the National Safety Court.
Dr Ekri was sentenced to five years for possession and concealment of "white weaponry" - a term used to describe non-firearms - to serve a terrorist purpose, and for participating in illegal gatherings, while his colleague Dr Ibrahim Damastani was given three years for possession of a "white weapon" and illegal assembly.
The other seven medics were sentenced to between one month and a year for taking part in illegal gatherings, holding public officials hostage, inciting sectarian hatred and destruction of hospital property. Five were immediately released on time served but still appealed.
On Monday, Deputy Attorney General Abdul Rahman al-Sayyed announced that the Court of Cassation had rejected the doctors' appeals.
He said the defendants had "used the security conditions that prevailed at the time, and violated the duties and ethics of their sacred profession, and undermined the security, safety and unity of the Bahraini people".
Panic founder Steven Frank admitted in a blog post that it happened after he downloaded an infected copy of the video encoding tool Handbrake.
He said there was no sign that any customer data was accessed and that Panic's web server was not affected.
Users have been warned to download Panic's apps only from its website or the Apple App Store.
Panic is the creator of web editing and file transfer apps Coda and Transmit, and the video game Firewatch.
On 2 May Handbrake was hacked, with the Mac version of the app on one of the site's download servers replaced by a malicious copy.
The infected app was discovered and removed on 6 May.
In what Mr Frank called "a case of extraordinarily bad luck", he downloaded the malicious version of Handbrake and launched it "without stopping to wonder why Handbrake would need admin privileges… when it hadn't before".
"And that was that, my Mac was completely, entirely compromised in three seconds or less."
The attacker then used his password to access other private files and copy the source code for several of Panic's products stored on the infected computer.
The theft was confirmed when Panic received an email containing some of the files and demanding a ransom for the return of the complete code.
"We're working on the assumption that there's no point in paying," Mr Frank wrote, saying that "the attacker has no reason to keep their end of the bargain".
The FBI is investigating the incident and Panic has been working with Apple to make sure that no malicious or fake versions of the apps get into the App Store.
"I feel like a monumental idiot for having fallen for this," Mr Frank admitted.
"It's a good reminder though — no matter how experienced you might be with computers, you're human and mistakes are easily made."
Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac, who died in 1960, initially supported the pro-Nazi Ustasha regime during World War Two, when he was Archbishop of Zagreb.
Critics say he should have done more to stop the Ustasha regime killing Jews, Serbs and Roma. In a 1942 mass he did however denounce racist attacks.
Catholics want him declared a saint.
The Zagreb County Court overturned the 1946 verdict on Friday, with Judge Ivan Turudic saying it had violated the right to a fair trial, prohibition of forced labour and the right to appeal. He said the goal had been "revenge against Stepinac".
The ruling is likely to fuel tensions with neighbouring Serbia.
In 1998 the late Pope John Paul II controversially beatified Stepinac - putting him on the road to sainthood - during a visit to Croatia, where many Catholics see Stepinac as a hero who resisted communism.
After the communist partisans won the war in Yugoslavia they put Stepinac on trial in 1946 and sentenced him to 16 years in jail as a collaborator. He was also given forced labour. He died of thrombosis, under house arrest, aged 61.
The Ustasha puppet regime murdered tens of thousands in concentration camps - mainly Jews, Serbs and Roma. Serbia strongly objects to Croatia's moves to get Stepinac canonised.
History records that, in 1941, while Archbishop of Zagreb, Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac supported Croatia's Nazi-backed government.
But by the following year, he was making speeches against the regime's genocidal policies, which led to the deaths of thousands of Serbs, Jews, Gypsies and Croat opponents.
Critics say his condemnation was not public enough or strong enough. In 1946, he fell foul of the communist rulers of the new Yugoslavia - of which Croatia was a part.
In a trial that Catholics have long maintained was a farce, he was convicted of collaborating with the Nazis.
He was still under house arrest 14 years later, when he died. Mystery continues to surround his death, with many Croatian Catholics believing he was murdered.
The blast happened in the Sorkhrot district of Nangarhar province.
The recruits were travelling to the capital Kabul when the bus was hit by a remote-control device in a motorbike, a local official told the BBC.
Other reports suggested a suicide bomber had rammed the bus on the motorbike.
A Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said the Islamist group had carried out the attack, according to the Reuters news agency.
Taliban militants have previously targeted officials in Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar.
Ahsanullah Shinwari, head of the Jalalabad hospital, told the Associated Press that 12 bodies had been brought to the hospital.
He said another 38 people were wounded, most of them in critical condition.
No group has yet claimed responsibility. Suicide attacks regularly take place in Jalalabad, as a number of anti-government insurgent groups are based in the province.
Hours earlier, a bomb hit a minibus carrying Education Ministry workers in eastern Kabul, killing two people and wounding seven, a defence ministry spokesman told Reuters.
Two districts in the Nangarhar province are controlled, or at least influenced, by the so-called Islamic State (IS).
Centre Party councillor Cecilia Cato, in the town of Tingsryd, says some are so concerned that they refuse to use the toilet all day.
She raised the musical solution in a proposal to the council.
"I don't think it's just about number two on the toilet, but many also don't do number one," Ms Cato told The Local.
"I've worked in the world of education for many years and know through the students that this is a problem, above all in junior and senior high school.
"I myself experienced this when I was young and now that it's being talked about many others confirm that they did too. It's not something you talk completely openly about..."
Swedish broadcaster SVT spoke to local students who confirmed they fretted about being overheard answering nature's call.
One noted that adding music would be environmentally friendly, as it would stop people running the taps or using excessive toilet paper to cover the sound.
Ms Cato was inspired by a new music school in Tingsryd, which has tuneful distractions in every toilet.
The local authority will now take a vote on her suggestion.
TalkTalk joins a lengthening global list of companies that have suffered major data breaches, including Ashley Madison, eBay, AOL, Target, Home Depot, Sony, Anthem and JPMorgan Chase.
Google and McAfee estimate there are 2,000 cyber-attacks every day around the world, costing the global economy about £300bn ($460bn) a year.
Yet more than two thirds of firms say they feel inadequately protected against increasingly sophisticated hackers looking to extort money through blackmail or steal data to sell on the black market.
So what should businesses be doing to improve their security? Technology of Business canvassed cybersecurity experts for their views.
Our ideas about corporate cybersecurity are out-of-date, many experts warn.
Concentrating on shoring up the castle walls is not enough, yet 87% of security budgets is still spent on firewall technology, says Tim Grieveson, chief cyber strategist at Hewlett-Packard.
Forget the gate and drawbridge idea, there are now hundreds of potential entrances to the castle because businesses are connected to customers, suppliers, and employees over the internet. Not only that, but it's as if everyone who comes in and out of the castle has a key to unlock all the doors as well.
Breaches are inevitable, comes the stark warning, so protect the data that matters.
"The bottom line is, CIOs [chief information officers] need to accept their company will be breached and shift their security strategy from 'breach prevention' to 'breach acceptance'," says Jason Hart, chief technology officer at digital security specialist, Gemalto.
Tom Patterson, general manager of global security solutions for IT services firm Unisys, calls this new approach micro-segmentation - building lots of little walls around those parts of your business containing data you can't afford to lose.
This involves cryptographically signing each bit of digital information - the packet data - with a code unique to each segment of the business. So if hackers break in, all they get access to is the data specific to that community or segment.
"A small breach is easier to manage - they may steal a little bit, or disrupt a little bit, but they don't take down the whole corporation," says Mr Patterson.
But the challenge, says Mr Grieveson, is "knowing what data to prioritise."
But many businesses don't even know what data they have stored on their systems, let alone how important it is, such is the complexity of their legacy computer systems and the recent proliferation of digital data from mobile and "internet of things" devices.
According to a recent survey by information management firm Veritas, 59% of the data in UK IT systems is unclassified "dark data".
Yet knowing what you have is key to any security strategy, says Mr Grieveson. "Businesses need to understand the risk of different types of data being lost."
Once you've done this you can then employ "best practice data protection - attaching security directly to the data itself, using multi-factor authentication and data encryption, as well as securely managing encryption keys," says Mr Hart.
"That way, if the data is stolen, it is useless to the thieves."
It's all too easy to concentrate on the attacks coming from outside and ignore the risks posed - wittingly or unwittingly - by people inside your organisation.
And insider attacks can also be more difficult to detect and deal with. "In reality it takes about 70 days to remediate an insider cyber-attack," says Mr Grieveson.
Employees clicking on email attachments they believe are from trusted sources is "the number one threat for organisations", says Gary Steele, boss of Proofpoint, a secure email specialist.
"A company can spend millions on investments in security solutions, but all it takes is one click on one link by one employee, and the company is compromised," he says.
Hackers are becoming very clever at using personal information gleaned from social media and other sources - so-called social engineering - to convince employees that emails are from people they know. Educating staff about this threat should be a priority, experts advise.
When it comes to employees in the pay of criminal gangs, predictive analytics tools can try to spot anomalies in their behaviour on a corporate network, but such tools can be expensive and time-consuming to manage.
Companies can achieve a lot simply by monitoring their systems more effectively, says Gavin Millard, technical director at Tenable Network Security.
This includes the "patching of easily exploitable bugs, robust filtering of inbound and outbound communications, up-to-date malware defence, encryption of sensitive information, and a good password policy," he summarises.
At the very least, firms should make sure network security certificates and antivirus and firewall software is up-to-date.
"Investing in monitoring controls to detect when an attack occurs is probably of most importance from a technology perspective," says AlienVault's Javvad Malik. "From a non-technology perspective, security training for staff can go a long way."
If staff use their own mobile devices for work purposes, firms should at the least restrict access to critical data and systems, the IT professionals say.
At best, firms should switch to a centrally-controlled system giving IT departments the ability to wipe devices remotely if they are lost or stolen.
"Organisations need to embrace a zero-trust philosophy," says Jason Garbis of security company, Cryptzone.
Cybersecurity firms with products and services to sell would say this, wouldn't they? But even TalkTalk chief executive Dido Harding admitted that she would be "spending more money and more time on cybersecurity because it is the number one risk".
Big companies with sensitive consumer data to protect are increasingly appointing chief security officers, often to board level positions, in an acknowledgement that cybersecurity has to be built in to all business processes.
Cybersecurity is everyone's problem, not just the responsibility of IT departments.

Plans being considered by Gwent Police could see a non-residential area of Pill specified for use by prostitutes.
This follows a similar pilot scheme in the north of England.
A police spokeswoman said: "Local officers and councillors are realistic about the fact that prostitution will always exist and it has been shown that enforcement alone is not an effective solution."
The force said the plans were in the early stages and no decision would be made until officers looked at evidence from other initiatives and consulted with residents, businesses and the council.
"The number of prostitutes in Gwent is small but the small number that operate do so mostly in the Pill area of Newport, which is impacting the lives of local residents," the spokeswoman added.
"While we closely monitor and work with individuals involved in off-street prostitution, on-street prostitution has proven more difficult."
Gwent Police said similar schemes had increased the reporting of offences against prostitutes and allowed other agencies to work with women to help them leave the sex industry.
GHA Coaches, based in Ruabon, Wrexham, went into administration in July with the loss of 320 jobs after failing to pay a tax bill.
Local councils are seeking new contractors to run routes, while 200 buses and coaches are being sold off.
But many passengers are still facing disruption.
The company operated public and school services across north Wales, Cheshire and Shropshire.
Now it has been revealed GHA's former directors, Arwyn Lloyd Davies and his brother Gareth, are involved in two companies which have won contracts from Wrexham council to run eight former services in the county borough.
The subsidised services will be run by RJ's of Wem Limited and RML2418 Ltd, subject to Traffic Commissioner approval.
Both companies have registered offices in Ruabon. Companies House records show the brothers have been directors since May last year.
Plaid Cymru North Wales AM Llyr Gruffydd said he was pleased to hear replacement services were being provided.
However, he added: "There has to be concern that the same directors that saw GHA go to the wall are also now in charge of RJs of Wem, which itself, only last December, came within a whisker of being struck off the Companies House register."
This was a reference to the company allegedly failing to comply with Companies House rules.
Mr Gruffydd added: "I would hope that Wrexham council has done its due diligence checks to ensure that this new company won't go the same way as GHA Coaches and leave staff and passengers in the lurch once again."
Wrexham council's lead member for transport, David A Bithell, said: "We were aware of the interests of RJ's of Wem through the tendering process.
"As with all tenders, there is a procurement procedure to follow, and this will be subject to all statutory procedures.
"RJ's of Wem will also need approval from the office of the Traffic Commissioner."
The BBC has attempted to contact the Davies brothers for comment.
Meanwhile, administrators Grant Thornton, who are winding up GHA Coaches, have organised an on-line auction next week.
A representative said the vehicles would be auctioned over three days and money raised from the sale would go towards paying creditors.
A report presented to the Police and Crime Commissioner gave the current system a "no assurance" rating.
It also said staffing issues at the force's control room added to delays in non-emergency calls being answered.
Ass Chief Const Jason Harwin called the delays "unacceptable" but said the new system would "make a real difference".
The report said the 15-year-old system had experienced a series of "disruptive incidents" since March 2015 as a result of a software update.
It went on to say that as a result the "age and relative fragility" of the associated hardware and software "will continue to pose a threat to operational continuity until they are replaced".
The report said the average waiting time for calls made to the 101 non-emergency service since May had reduced from three minutes and 13 seconds to two minutes and 12 seconds.
However, one man said he waited 34 minutes to get through earlier this month.
"I actually drove home made a cup of tea for me and my wife, made my tea and was sat down eating it before they answered," Dave Gaugtier told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"The service is brilliant but the contact number is garbage."
The report said that in May there were 24 vacancies in the control room, resulting in 23 police officers and eight "adjusted duties officers" being drafted in to help.
Mr Harwin said the force was working to address the issues.
"We recognise the issues that we've got, we are bringing in extra staff in, we're doubling the amount of recruits we're bringing in to our control room, but, just as importantly, we're introducing new technology that will make a real difference," he said.
A statement from the prime minister's office said that an inquiry had unearthed "major security breaches" at Sri Lankan Airlines.
The statement alleges irregularities in a $2.3bn purchase of 10 aircraft made under the previous government.
The loss-making airline is 95% state-owned and 5% owned by staff.
It is the latest in a string of corruption allegations made against the administration of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
The statement, issued by the office of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, accuses Mr Rajapaksa of making management changes within the airline to allow the $2.3bn-dollar purchase of 10 new aircraft "despite the availability of more cost-effective alternatives".
The former chairman of the airline, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, is also singled out by the statement, accused of a "gross abuse of power".
Mr Wickramasinghe - who is Mr Rajapaksa's brother-in-law - is accused of exposing the airline to "reputational damage" by his "penchant for young air hostesses", as well as falsifying documents to lease a luxury sports car.
The statement also accuses the airline of attempting to "hush-up two serious flying mishaps", although no details are given.
Mr Rajapaksa, in power since 2005, was defeated in an election in January 2015, by Maithripapa Srisena.
Wayne Routledge raced onto Pablo Hernandez's pass moments after half-time to break the deadlock, before creating Nathan Dyer's headed second.

The defeat leaves the Bluebirds three points adrift of Premier League safety.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has only one win in five league matches since succeeding Malky Mackay as Cardiff boss, will now target wins against Aston Villa and Hull if his side are to offer some fight against relegation in their debut Premier League season.
His opposite number Monk, 34, made a seamless transition to management, having been made Swansea boss this week after the controversial sacking of Michael Laudrup.
Only one league win in 11 outings ultimately ended Laudrup's 19-month reign as manager and Monk, still a registered player for the club, was appointed "for the foreseeable future".
His presence was felt, as after being blunt in defeat at West Ham last weekend, Swansea showed the competitive edge fitting of a side playing for a new manager.
Cardiff have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last nine Premier League games and defeat means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost four of his five league matches as manager.
Three points separated the sides ahead of kick-off and Swansea started brightly as Routledge shot straight at David Marshall before Bony made the Cardiff keeper save at his feet.
Cardiff looked to play on the counter-attack and Kenwyne Jones headed their first chance narrowly wide in a first half void of end product.
Shortly after the break, Routledge, who had a loan spell at Cardiff in 2008-09, surged into the area to curl a low shot into the corner after a superb pass by half-time substitute Hernandez.
The visitors looked to hit back straight away with Bellamy's smashed shot hitting the bar from the edge of the area. The miss, which would prove costly, was greeted with cheers almost as loud as those afforded to Routledge's opener.

Monk, dressed in a tracksuit and hugging the boundaries of his technical area, encouraged his troops to press on and kill the game.
And it was not long before he was pumping the air in delight as the Swans scored twice in five minutes through headers from Dyer and Bony.
Dyer - one of the smallest players on the pitch - ghosted past his marker to connect with Routledge's hanging cross from six yards.
And Bony then powered home Hernandez's delivery to earn bragging rights for Swansea and breathing space above the Premier League relegation zone.
Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:
"We got into half time with a good performance in the first half. But then we gave away a poor goal. We had chances, we had a massive chance with a free kick just before they scored.
"You always go into these derby games with heart and the passion would always be there. Garry Monk got off to a great start and we have to respond on Tuesday.
"We stand together as a team. We tried but didn't get that quality we hoped for. The lads in the dressing room are devastated, which they should be because they have maybe lost the most important game of the year, but their character is great and they will bounce back."
The 18-year-old Forest academy graduate signed his first professional deal with his parent club last season.
He impressed on loan with National League Wrexham earlier this season, scoring five goals in 21 appearances.
"Gerry brings an added physicality to our forward line," Cambridge United manager Shaun Derry said.

The National Union of Teachers' annual conference has backed calls for "sustained strike action" to support schools challenging a culture of long hours and stress.
The union says teachers' workload is "intolerable and getting worse".
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan says she is announcing steps to "tackle unnecessary workload".
As the NUT conference in Brighton voted to campaign over the "workload crisis", the Department for Education published proposals to tackle excessive working hours for teachers in England.
These plans call for schools not to adopt "emerging fads" which can mean "excessive marking" for teachers and unnecessary data collection.
It also warns against schools encouraging excessive "gold plating" approaches to marking.
The government's workload plan would require head teachers to take more account of the impact of marking on teachers' time and to prevent "unreasonable demands".
It also calls for adequate planning time when changes are being introduced in schools.
"Nothing is more damaging to the profession than wasting the passion and expertise of teachers and school leaders on unnecessary tasks," said Mrs Morgan.
She said the proposals would address the three biggest concerns about workload - marking, planning and data collection.
The NUT welcomed Mrs Morgan's reports on tackling workload.
But the teachers' union conference backed calls for "sustained strike action" in support of schools seeking improvements in workload.
The NUT conference supported warnings over the "perfect storm" on workload, which delegates said had been exacerbated by teacher shortages and rising pupil numbers.
Delegates said teachers were now working 65 to 70 hours per week in term time.
And they argued that it was one of the most common reasons for teachers leaving the profession.
Laura Fisher from Wakefield said excessive workload was damaging the ability of teachers to teach. She said the message she wanted to send to the education secretary was "let me get on with my job".
Sheila Caffrey from Bristol said that the six words that were most likely to raise teachers' stress levels were: "You only work until three o'clock."
Kenneth Rustidge, from the union's executive, said excessive workload had become a major disincentive to people who might have entered teaching.
The conference backed calls for more teachers, lower class sizes, less teaching time and more time for planning.
NUT leader Christine Blower said: "Teachers speak of having no life outside of school, nor time for family and friends.
"We are not talking about having to stay a little bit later of an evening, but of workloads that keep teachers working into the night and at weekends."

Louis Moult scored twice - a first-time lob and a close-range volley - to put the hosts in charge.
However, Callum McGregor's strike brought Celtic back into contention and Patrick Roberts headed them level.
Lionel Ainsworth quickly volleyed Well ahead again but that lead did not last long as Stuart Armstrong fired home before Rogic's low drive settled it.
Celtic ended the day still eight points clear at the top of the division and still have three games in hand.
This was a stunning game, a thrill-fest from start to finish with goals, chances, drama and aggravation all played out in a thunderous Fir Park.
The champions had not conceded in the league for 10 hours and were up against a Motherwell team that had conceded three in 90 minutes against Hearts last time out.
This looked like it was going to be another Celtic stroll, but Moult dynamited that notion after just three minutes.
It was a sumptuous finish, a thing of beauty. Stephen McManus aimed his downfield pass at the space occupied by Moult and his marker, Kolo Toure. The striker stole away from Toure and cushioned the dropping ball first time over Craig Gordon's head.
Toure's defending was poor and Gordon was caught too far off his line but Moult's precision was a delight.
Motherwell paid little regard for Celtic's reputation, hustling and harrying them, bringing a real edge to their game that Celtic found hard to deal with for a long time.
Moult was inches away from making it 2-0 just before the half-hour, but he got the job done just after.
Mikael Lustig was robbed of possession by Ross MacLean - the Swede was livid at the tackle - and when MacLean crossed to the back post, Moult took advantage of more slack Toure defending to bang in his second of the game and his 10th of the season.
Brendan Rodgers changed his formation at the break and went three at the back to give Celtic's midfield more ballast. It worked.
Within three minutes, McGregor, a first-half substitute for Emilio Izaguirre, played a one-two with the excellent Armstong and McGregor stroked his shot past Craig Samson.
Celtic now had Motherwell under the cosh and Armstrong's delivery from the left saw Roberts head the visitors level at the back post.
You'd have gambled your last penny on Celtic motoring on to win it at that point. Motherwell's energy levels were running out and they were seeing precious little of the ball. They looked like they were barely hanging on.
Just when you thought that Motherwell's day was going to peter out into defeat, they roused themselves again and got themselves back in front.
Roberts had scored in the 69th minute, then from a Steven Hammell cross, Ainsworth scored in the 70th. Celtic's defence was left with giant gaps and the substitute pocked home from close range.
Sixty seconds later, we had the third goal in as many minutes when Armstrong's shot on the turn beat Samson. Fast, furious, frenetic and utterly absorbing.
A minute from time, Rogic moved forward, picked his spot and smashed a shot past Samson to win this most gob-smacking game.
Celtic's character and quality in adversity was huge. Motherwell gave so much and did so many superb things, but, sickeningly for Mark McGhee and his team, they were denied the consolation of a point.
Motherwell manager Mark McGhee: "We know we're a team that concede goals. We have to fix that, somehow we have to fix that.
"Our first-half performance was fantastic, the quality of our three goals was fantastic.
"We've played a really good Celtic team, they've fought back into it and eventually they've got a winning goal. We've just got to live with that but our performance was good."
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "We were poor in the first half. We got off to an awful start.
"We changed the system at half-time to 3-4-3. We were absolutely brilliant second half. To score the four goals, to win the game, it really shows the mentality of the team.
"Across the team, I have to give them huge credit because we had to put risk in the game. They took on the risk and they got the reward. I'm delighted for them.
"That was a great, great victory for us and give credit to Motherwell as well because I thought that they were set up very, very well."

The event had been scheduled for Queen's University, Belfast, in June.
Vice chancellor Patrick Johnston said he cancelled because of the security risk and concerns for QUB's reputation.
But two academics who had been booked to speak said it was ironic that an event about free speech should be called off in this way.
Self censorship was one of the themes of the conference.
Professor Max Silverman from Leeds University told BBC NI's Good Morning Ulster: "It is deeply ironic that what was going on in Paris this year to do largely with freedom of speech is actually being replicated by the university itself.
"There is a bitter irony in that the ability to discuss these topics has been taken away from us by this university decision.
"If you cannot discuss these sensitive issues in a university then I don't know where you can discuss them. I do fear for what we value most in our democracies."
Prof Silverman said the cancelled conference was now getting much more publicity but "for all the wrong reasons".
"Queen's University has a wonderful reputation. It is a very prestigious institution. I don't think this is going to enhance that reputation at all," he said.
Dr Brian Klug from Oxford said he was both "baffled and dismayed" by the decision to cancel.
"Organising this was an admirable initiative and I cannot understand why the university has pulled the rug out from under their feet," he said.
"We really don't know what the vice chancellor was worried about. We haven't been told what that security risk consists of. I think we are all owed an explanation."
Dr Klug said that not only was it not the role of the university to stop freedom of speech, but it was "the responsibility of academia to respond to complex international conflicts in a constructive analytical way".

After Khan, 28, controlled the early rounds, 27-year-old Alexander offered little until the eighth, when he managed to land a series of hooks.
But the clinical Bolton fighter remained in charge, and all three judges scored heavily in his favour.
Afterwards, Khan reiterated his desire to fight American Floyd Mayweather.
"I really believe I've earned my shot against the best boxer in the world and that's Mayweather," said Khan.
"He is the ideal fight for me. It would be a game of chess, but I would be too skilful. I have the skill and movement to beat him. He will not be able to hurt me.
"I feel better now than I did when I was 25. I'm dedicated to the sport and I know there's a few years left in me. I'm going to try and force that fight with Mayweather."
Khan, who has now won 30 of his 33 professional contests, was in complete control as the three judges scored it 119-109, 118-110 and 120-108 in his favour at the MGM Grand.
Alexander, from St Louis, had won world titles at light-welterweight and welterweight but was outclassed by his fast and more accurate opponent, who retained the lightly-regarded WBC 'silver' welterweight belt.
Under the guidance of trainer Virgil Hunter, Khan consistently beat his opponent to the punch with the American taking a large amount of punishment from the jab as he suffered only his third professional defeat in a 29-fight career.
Before the fight, Mayweather said he wanted Philippine great Manny Pacquiao to be his next opponent, although that fight has been talked about for many years without it happening.
Nevertheless, Mayweather, unbeaten in 47 bouts and the current holder of the WBC and WBA welterweight and WBC light-middleweight titles, would have been impressed by Khan's near faultless showing.
"I trained very hard for this fight," added Khan. "I knew I had to make a statement. It was against a tough, very skilful guy, but it was one of my best performances.
"I'm the best boxer and have the quickest hands in the world. I've just turned 28 and I'm getting better and getting quicker, I just had to become smarter. I've got the best jab in the business."
Typhoon Phanfone has killed at least one person, a US airman on Okinawa who was washed away by high waves.
Thousands of households have lost power and Japan's two largest airlines have suspended many flights.
The storm also forced the suspension of the search for people missing after last week's volcanic eruption.
The storm-tracking website Tropical Storm Risk forecasts that Phanfone will rapidly lose power over the next few hours as it goes further into the Pacific Ocean.
Typhoon Phanfone was downgraded from an earlier status of a super typhoon, but the Japan Meteorological Agency had warned it was still a dangerous storm.
Japan averages 11 typhoons a year, according to its weather agency.
The typhoon made landfall on Monday morning near the central city of Hamamatsu, with winds of up to 180 km/h (112 mph).
The airman was one of three US military personnel swept away by high waves whipped up by the typhoon off southern Okinawa island, where the US has a large military base. The remaining two are still missing.
A police spokesman said they had been taking photographs of the sea.
A university student who was surfing off the seas of Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, was also missing, national broadcast NHK reports. It said at least 10 people had been injured and 9,500 houses were without power.
The storm was expected to deposit about 100mm of rain on Tokyo over 24 hours, according to the Transport Ministry website.
Many schools were closed on Monday and two car companies in Japan halted production at some plants ahead of the storm.
More than 174 domestic flights were affected nationwide, NHK state broadcaster said on Sunday.
On Sunday, heavy rain delayed the Japanese Formula One Grand Prix in Suzaka. French driver Jules Bianchi lost control in the wet conditions and crashed, sustaining a severe head injury.
The 33-year-old has been linked with a return to Hibernian where spent a month on a emergency loan in the winter.
But Commons, who has been struggling with a back injury for the past 12 months, admits he remains undecided about his future.
"I'll reflect on what has been and what is next going forward," he told BBC Scotland. "There are plenty of options out there and that's not just football. It's the other side as well, coaching, media. There's plenty of doors open."
And moving into coaching certainly seems to be on the mind of the former Scotland international.
"I've been lucky enough that I've played at the highest level," he said. "For me now it's about enjoying my football. If I can pass my knowledge on to younger players that would be great, but I just wonder whether that is going to be through a playing capacity or should I go into a coaching route."
Commons moved to Glasgow in January 2011, signed by then manager Neil Lennon from Derby County for £500,000.
His Celtic career got off to the perfect start, with a debut goal six minutes into a League Cup semi-final win over Aberdeen.
He would go on to net 91 goals in 175 appearances, winning five titles, two Scottish Cups and one League Cup.
This season was tough. Injury-plagued, there was no opportunity to impress new manager Brendan Rodgers. His loan spell at Hibs yielded two goals in five games for his old boss Lennon before further frustration.
"I haven't been fit enough to play," he added. "I get to a half decent level of fitness then I have to take a step back.
"I had a good stint at training October, November, December, went on loan to Hibs, but as soon as I came back that's when I started feeling the back again. It's a very niggly injury that has caused me a lot of problems over the year.
"I still feel I've got a little bit in me if I can get to a good level of fitness, but I've not been able to get to that top level to get into this team."
So, does he try to regain the level of fitness required and continue playing or does he decide it's time to hang up his boots?
"I still feel I have got unfinished business playing but the doubt for me is can I get to the level where I'm going to be the Kris Commons everyone knows," he said.
"If I'm not, then there's no point dwindling away. I'd rather finish on a relative high."
While Commons has had to look on while Celtic completed an unbeaten treble this season, he is able to reflect on what has been a "magical journey".
"Some of the biggest highs were under Neil Lennon," he recalls. "I look back at my Celtic career and think I had a good run at it.
"I was probably naive when I came to Celtic. I thought I was a player until I realised the scale of the club and what it meant. It was a real learning curve.
"You see big clubs in England but this club is above and beyond anything I've felt anywhere else.
"My goals might be forgotten next year or the year after but the memories that have been created for me by this famous football club will last with me till the day I die."
Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill announced last month that the cast will return to the stage in February for a 10-show run of Still Game: Live 2.
Tickets for the shows at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow went on sale last week and five extra dates have now been added.
The first live show in 2014 sold out for 21 nights and entertained more than 210,000 fans.
The popular comedy follows the antics of pensioners Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade in the fictional Craiglang area of Glasgow.
It returned to the BBC last week, after a nine-year absence from TV screens.
The sitcom attracted its highest ever overnight audience for a single episode on Friday, taking 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.
The comedy grew as a spin-off from Kiernan and Hemphill's Chewin' The Fat sketch show and ran for six series between 2002 and 2007.
The live shows will run from Saturday 4 February to Thursday 16 February, with the cast taking a break each Monday.

Walter Palmer from the state of Minnesota is believed to have paid about £32,000 to hunt lions in the wild.
Cecil the lion's death has prompted a huge reaction from many on social media, with tens of thousands of people signing a petition asking for Cecil's killer to be punished for what he did.
Mr Palmer said he thought the hunt was legal and didn't know the lion was protected.
Ayshah's been following the story.
Mr McGuigan Sr, 53, was murdered at his home at Comber Court in the Short Strand area of east Belfast last Wednesday.
The father of nine's funeral has taken place. A 39-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday and two guns were found during searches in greater Belfast.
Three other men, aged 53, 44 and 41, arrested earlier remain in custody.
Second-seed Gilmour, 21, had eased past Denmark's fourth seed Line Kjaersfeldt in the semi-finals but lost 21-15 21-18 in the 44-minute final.
Goh had come through qualifying and won seven matches on the way to her first senior title.
"I'm a little disappointed not to come away with a win," said Gilmour.
"I thought I played well. She was very solid and I made some poor decisions at some crucial points."
The Commonwealth silver medallist from Hamilton was appearing in her first final since retaining her Swedish Masters title in January.
Barry is suffering from a hip problem while Monaghan has a knee complaint.
"The League Cup is a competition that Derry have a reputation of having great success in and I would like to continue that," said Derry manager Kenny Shiels.
"We will go in as full strength as we can be. We treat the competition with the utmost respect and want to win it."
The Candystripes go into the cup tie unbeaten in their last seven league outings but will have had a day less to prepare given that they drew with Longford Town on Saturday night.
"Sligo haven't won a game yet in the league but they have been getting progressively better and I like the way they play so we have to be careful with this one," emphasised the Derry boss.
"The league is the platform you use for building for the future but the knockout competitions are important for morale and a good cup run gives a boost to the supporters.
"We always look to the next game as the most important and we try to win every game. From Sligo's point of view, they will see this as a chance to gain some momentum."
But the Concorde Trust said it remained positive about the £9m project in Bristol despite being turned down by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
Trust chairman Mike Littleton said: "Although the HLF decision is a setback, we remain determined to make this project a reality."
The Save Concorde Group (SCG) said the plans were too ambitious and costly.
Ben Lord, chairman of SCG, said they had a "more realistic" plan which was "a fraction of the cost" and would be presented to British Airways in the next few days.
The plane - called Concorde 216 or Alpha Foxtrot - was the last of the fleet to fly when Concorde was withdrawn from service by British Airways in 2003 due to increased running costs.
The Concorde Trust plans for the museum at Cribbs Causeway were first submitted in 2007 but building work has never started because of a lack of funding.
The museum was given a £840,000 cash boost by Airbus last week but has almost £8m still to raise.
Mr Littleton said he did not see the HLF failure as a blow to attracting other investors and that the vision was still to open the museum in 2014.
He said the trust was evaluating feedback from the HLF with a view to resubmitting its application in the near future.
It is also pursuing other major sources of funding.
"We now need some time to review and decide our next steps, but remain confident," Mr Littleton said.
"Our professional team delivered a first class bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund with a project that was exceptionally well researched, financially sustainable and, we believe, met the funding criteria.
"Given the overwhelming support we received from the general public, local government, industry and education, we are confident that we can deal with the issues and succeed with our ambitions."
Mr Littleton said feedback from the HLF was that requests for funding had been three times greater than the amount available and that he did not think the plans were too ambitious.
"This is one of the cradles of aviation in the UK, the only one with a history of continuous industrial production and it remains a world-class centre of aerospace innovation," he said.
Mr Lord, of SCG, said: "We have been saying for some time that there's been a degree of ambiguity in what the Concorde Trust was setting out to achieve.
"We did support it as it was the only plan being fully pursued to get Alpha Foxtrot under cover, but we also voiced our concerns that it was over-ambitious in terms of the cost of the project."
He said: "While all of this has been going on, SCG has been looking into a much more realistic plan that would see Concorde remain as centre-stage and offering the world-class exclusive tours that the previous 'Concorde at Filton' exhibition had been offering.
"While it is in its early stages, we believe that this plan is totally achievable and would ensure ongoing prominence of this aircraft's unique association with Filton and Bristol as a whole."
The jet has been at Filton since 2003 and was closed to the public in October 2010 for maintenance.
Filton Airfield, where the jet is based, is to close from the end of 2012, meaning a new home will soon have to be found for the jet.
At its peak, a record 8.7Tbps of live video was streamed, according to content delivery network Akamai Technologies.
The previous record of 7.5Tbps was set during US election day coverage on 8 November 2016.
The figures reflect the growing popularity of online streaming.
In the US, 31 million people watched Mr Trump's inauguration on television, compared with 38 million who watched Barack Obama becoming president in 2009.
However, video traffic of Mr Obama's inauguration reached a peak of just 1.1Tbps the same year.
Akamai Technologies also analysed other recent events such as the Euro 2016 football tournament, which recorded a peak of 7.3Tbps, and the 2016 Rio Olympics women's team gymnastics final, which hit 4.5Tbps.
An increase in access to mobile devices, improved internet speeds and the integration of video into websites such as Twitter and Facebook have improved access to live-streamed events.
The rise of high definition video streaming also demands more internet traffic, which may have contributed to the increased bitrates shown in Akamai's figures.
Twitter said live video streaming of Mr Trump's ceremony had also broken its own record, with almost seven million people watching on the social network.
Rob Owers, head of news partnerships at Twitter, told the BBC that the platform had seen an overall increase in live video views.
"The demand for immediacy and proliferation of mobile products means we're more connected than ever, and live streaming is definitely at the heart of this," he said.
"People get used to the fact that wherever they are, there's no reason they should miss out on breaking news or events."
Carál Ní Chuilín was speaking during a visit to the construction site at Glenfada Park in Londonderry's Bogside.
Building work began last summer and the new money is in addition to funds of £2.4m.
The museum deals directly with the Northern Ireland Troubles and is close to where the events of Bloody Sunday took place in the city.
On 30 January 1972, a civil rights march in Derry ended with the shooting dead of 13 people by the Army.
The Saville Report, published on 15 June 2010, was heavily critical of the Army and found that soldiers fired the first shot.
Speaking before Parliament, Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "deeply sorry" and that the findings of the report were "shocking".
The new building is due to be finished and ready by June 2016.
Researchers will be investigating thousands of URL links attached to tweets about the tournament in France to see if they are spreading malicious computer viruses.
They hope the findings can help develop warning systems about cyber attacks.
The Euros have been chosen for the research due to the large amount of social media posts expected.
The football World Cup in Brazil two years ago was the most tweeted about event ever, at the time data was taken in 2014.
The team from the school of computer sciences and informatics will quickly trawl every tweet related to Euro 2016 with a special computer, known as an '"intelligent system".
It will perform a number of background checks to test whether the link is malicious and, if so, the timing and severity of damage it could cause to a computer user.
Dr Pete Burnap, director of the social data science lab at the university, said the fact URLs are often shortened on social media made it "incredibly difficult" to know which are legitimate.
"Once infected, the malware can turn your computer into a zombie computer and become part of a global network of machines used to hide information or route further attacks," he said.
"At the moment, many existing anti-virus solutions identify malware using known code signatures, which make it difficult to detect previously unseen attacks.
"Our system is making a decision using code behaviour, which is more difficult for cyber criminals to mask."
It is hoped the information can be used to help authorities create a future warning system that can flag a malicious link to the computer user in real-time.
Researchers hope it can also be rolled out in the form of an app to mobile users.
The change happened at 1am on Sunday 30 March.

Celtic's first-leg defeat in Gibraltar was one of the worst in their history.
But a 3-0 home win secured a trip to Astana in the third qualifying round.
"It's a six-hour flight, five-hour time difference, 35C+, a plastic pitch, with no water, but apart from that..!" Rodgers told BBC Scotland.
"It is another test for us and the focus now will be getting a good performance over there."
Astana drew games against Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Galatasaray in the the group stage of last season's Champions League.
And they will pose a much sterner test for Rodgers' fledgling side than the part-timers from Gibraltar, with the away leg to take place next week before the return at Celtic Park the following week.
Rodgers hopes to add to his squad before then, with defensive reinforcements a priority. "Hopefully that is the case," he said. "We would certainly like to. We will see over the coming days."
After the 'shock on the Rock' in Gibraltar, Scottish champions Celtic produced some flowing attacking football to see off the Red Imps, with first-half goals from Mikael Lustig, Leigh Griffiths and Patrick Roberts proving sufficient.
"It certainly wasn't perfect by any means, but it shouldn't be - we are only four weeks into pre-season," Rodgers noted.
"But I thought the first half-hour was excellent. There was good intensity, good pressure, good shape in our game. We scored three and could have had a few more.
"Once tiredness started to set in in the second half, the tempo of the game slowed down a bit. But the most important thing was getting through, and I thought overall, the performance was excellent."
Rodgers praised his players' ability to adapt to his methods in a matter of weeks.
"There is still a long way to go but I must congratulate the players - they have taken in a lot of concepts and ideas in a short space of time about how we want to work," he added.
The manager also saluted an "absolutely magnificent" crowd of almost 50,000 for their rousing support.
"When they are singing throughout the game like that, there are not many better stadiums in the world," he added.
The British Film Institute (BFI) revealed takings were up 17% from the previous year, at £1.24bn.
Cinema admissions also rose 9% with 171.9 million tickets sold, while money spent on film production was £1.41bn - the second-highest amount on record.
It is the first year since 2012 that both admissions and box office takings have risen.
Five films took more than £40m at the UK box office in 2015 - compared to just one, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, in 2014.
The Force Awakens, released in December, took £114m and is now the UK's most successful film of all time.
Spectre, the latest release in the James Bond franchise, was second with takings of £94.7m, with Jurassic World in third place with £64.5m.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron took £48.3m and Minions was fifth with £47.7m.
The BFI also said UK independent films took an 11% market share in 2015 - the third highest on record. Eight of them took more than £5m at the box office.
The highest-grossing independent film was Tom Hardy's Legend, in which he played the Kray twins, and took £18.4m. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel came in second place, taking £16m.
The UK's film production spend figure is a decrease of 6% on 2014's record total of £1.49bn - with films made that year including The Force Awakens and Age of Ultron.
Amanda Nevill, chief executive of the BFI, said: "With spend from film production over £1.4bn, audiences flocking to cinemas and UK box office topping £1.2bn for the first time, today's numbers show a golden age of British film continuing - and underlines film's important contribution to the UK economy.
"It's significant that a wide range of fantastic British independent films won the hearts and minds of audiences in a hugely competitive year, but it's clear that the market is still tough for the makers and distributors of independent and specialised films."
Culture minister Ed Vaizey hailed the figures as "great news".
The 20-year-old has been capped 21 times at various youth levels for England, including the Under-23 side.
"The plan was always to bring in another keeper to add competition," boss Willie Kirk told the club website.
"Sophie is an extremely hard-working goalkeeper, who is technically very good and has strong distribution."
A clerk for Granite County confirmed to People Magazine that the couple secretly exchanged vows in Philipsburg, Montana on 1 October.
It is thought the ceremony took place a month after Scarlett gave birth to the couple's daughter, Rose, and a year after they got engaged.
The 30-year-old was previously married to Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds.
Rumours that Scarlett and Romain had tied the knot had been circulating for a while, after she was photographed wearing a ring on her wedding finger.
The star of Lost in Translation and The Avengers was left "devastated" following her divorce from Ryan Reynolds in December 2010.
Speaking to Vogue magazine about the end of her two-year marriage, she said: "It really throws you. You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn't work out."
Newsbeat has contacted Scarlett's agent, but has not received a response so far.

Not just any chocolate; a special kind of raw chocolate that she makes herself by crushing cocoa beans in a grinder attached to her bicycle wheel.
"The day I discovered raw chocolate I totally forgot about milk chocolate," she says, handing me a freshly made bar, elegantly wrapped in the beige and gold wrapping of her Mon Choco label.
The 27-year-old is the latest entrepreneur in Ivory Coast to become a chocolatier using Ivorian cocoa beans. While the West African nation is the world's leading cocoa exporter, it is virtually impossible to find chocolate made in Ivory Coast from Ivorian cocoa.
However, that is beginning to change, albeit on a small scale. There are more and more boutique cafes and chocolatiers selling and making handmade, artisanal Ivorian chocolate.
"Here it's really bean to bar," says Mroueh. "We want to be local. We want to show to the world that Ivory Coast is rich." She buys the cocoa beans straight from the farmer and then dries them on the roof of her factory in Abidjan, or in her newly purchased tumble dryer.
"And then this is where the magic happens," she says as she leads me into the grinding room and places the crushed beans into a large metal machine along with brown sugar, also from Ivory Coast.
After two or three days of continuous grinding, a sleek, deep brown paste is formed, which is then chilled in moulds. Unlike normal chocolate, there is no cooking involved resulting in a much richer, almost fruity taste.
"My love of chocolate is a family thing," she says, stemming all the way from her grandfather who was born in Ivory Coast and worked in the cocoa industry.
It was in the 1960s and 1970s that Ivory Coast began to establish itself as the powerhouse of cocoa. It now produces 40% of the world's cocoa, and cocoa makes up 15% of the country's GDP and 40% of its exports.
However, most of the cocoa is exported raw, meaning very little value added revenue for the economy.
"We are not keeping for the population the bulk of the added value that could be taken from agriculture," says economist Kady Fadika Coulibaly, the chief executive of Hudson and CIE, the leading brokerage firm on the BRVM, the West Africa stock exchange.
"We need to transform [the cocoa]… to be able to have more employment for the people who are working now on the plantations [so] they can also be working in the factories."
Last year, French chocolate manufacturer CEMOI opened Ivory Coast's only chocolate factory, producing chocolate spreads and cocoa powder. This year Ivory Coast is set to overtake the Netherlands as the leading bean grinding hub.
And President Alassane Ouattara has a big vision: to have 50% of Ivory Coast's yearly crop of nearly two million tonnes of cocoa processed in the country by 2020, up from 30% now.
While Coulibaly says this is possible, she says the government needs "to increase the financing to the industry and not only wait until we have foreign direct investment".
On the other side of Abidjan, in Cocody, another chocolatier swiftly shuts his front door as the brutal tropical rains start hammering on the windows.
Axel Emmanuel used to be a banker but ditched the financial sector for chocolate and launched Instant Chocolat. "I wanted to make chocolate from Ivorian cocoa because it's a challenge. We did not have national chocolatiers so I rose to the challenge," he says.
The small room downstairs serves as an office, a packaging centre and a showroom. At the top of the stairs, through plastic sheeting that acts as a door, two women are busy wrapping pralines in gold and silver foil under the ice-cold breeze of an air conditioning unit.
The poky headquarters mask the entrepreneur's success. The 32-year-old has already been crowned Chocolatier of Ivory Coast, Vice-Chocolatier of Africa, and last year President Ouattara named him Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
He sold his first bar of chocolate in 2015 and now transforms two tonnes of Ivorian cocoa beans annually. His main clients are large companies including Air France, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank and even CEMOI itself.
He says he wants to show other entrepreneurs that chocolate can be turned into a viable business, and is setting up a project to train people to become chocolatiers "because we earn more after transforming the chocolate, that's indisputable".
Like Mroueh, his market is the middle class. Both sell their chocolate bars for about $5 (£3.50).
Ivory Coast has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, recording 10.3% growth last year, and with that, a population that has an increasingly stronger earning power. "Now is the good moment in Africa because there's an emerging middle class," says Emmanuel.
A big chunk of that middle class can be found queuing around the affluent streets of Riviera Golf over the May bank holiday weekend to get into Festiglaces, Ivory Coast's ice cream, cake and chocolate festival.
It's a dream for children: chocolate-making workshops in one marquee, crepes and face painting in another.
"I'm here for my children," says festival-goer Assiatou Fanny. "It's a great thing for them. It allows them to get to know that cocoa is the basis of chocolate because we're the premier producers."
This year's theme is "Le bon chocolat de Cote d'Ivoire" - "Ivory Coast's good chocolate" - a clear sign that it's not just the boutiques and cafes who are keen to promote the" Made in Ivory Coast" theme.
"I've eaten lots of ice cream, lots of cakes and lots of chocolate also," says Fanny's 11-year-old daughter Anita, with a smile. "I've even eaten chocolate that was made here," she adds delightedly, clearly something she doesn't get to do very often.
And this is one of the problems - the accessibility of chocolate. For most people in Ivory Coast, it is a luxury they just can't afford.
The average consumption here is less than 500g a year. Compare that to countries like Germany or Switzerland, now the world's biggest chocolate eaters, whose average consumption is closer to 9kg a year.
Emmanuel says his next goal is to make a chocolate bar that still has the quality and hallmark of Instant Chocolat, but that is affordable for everyone.
"We have to come up with a reasonable price," he says, something that is on Mroueh's radar too.
"It's a shame that we are the first producer of cocoa but Ivorians don't even know the taste of chocolate or what the world is doing with their beans," she says.
Mroueh is working on designing cheaper packaging in order to reduce the price. She wants to launch a second chocolate bar to be sold in supermarkets and smaller shops, while keeping the deluxe version in boutiques and cafes because she says everyone here "has the right to taste chocolate and appreciate this brilliant product".
In a blog post on Friday titled "Meeting Donald Trump," British tycoon Sir Richard Branson became the latest celebrity to give his thoughts on this never-ending election. And it wasn't a pitch for President Trump.
Mr Branson describes being invited by Mr Trump to his apartment in Manhattan where the New Yorker discussed his bankruptcy and the various people he had gone to for help but who had turned their backs on him.
"He told me he was going to spend the rest of his life destroying these five people," Mr Branson continues, before adding that he found the event "bizarre". He told Mr Trump there must be more constructive ways to spend the rest of his life. "Hopefully my advice didn't lead to him running for president!" he writes.
"For somebody who is running to be the leader of the free world to be so wrapped up in himself, rather than concerned with global issues, is very worrying," the Virgin founder concludes.
Just in case anyone is left in any doubt as to which candidate he prefers, he adds that he later had lunch with Hillary Clinton where they talked "education reform, the war on drugs, women's rights, conflicts around the globe and the death penalty". You get the message.
And in another sign that Hillary Clinton has no problem connecting with celebrities, Oprah Winfrey came out batting for her on Friday as well. In an interview with a Texan pastor, the TV star said she hasn't been vocal about her support for Hillary Clinton because she "didn't know what to say that could actually pierce through all the noise and the chaos and the disgusting vitriol that's going on".
But she encouraged voters who hadn't worked out whether they liked Mrs Clinton to think about what they wanted in a leader. "She's not coming over to your house! You don't have to like her!" she added.
Talking of candidates you don't have to like, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who is running to become a senator in Louisiana, made some headlines on Friday after polling well enough to make it into a televised debate on 2 November. As if this election wasn't crazy enough already...

The 43-year-old, from Southampton, won almost three times as much prize-money in 2016 as his previous best year to finish 28th on the order of merit.
Bland is confident 2017 will see him finally win a tournament after a string of top 10 finishes last autumn.
"If I put myself in contention enough times, I'm going to fall across the line at some point," he told BBC Sport.
Bland lines up at the Abu Dhabi Championship from Thursday having missed the cut at the South Africa Open last week.
"In terms of where my game is at the moment, it's a bit like what footballers say when they're short of match fitness," he told BBC Radio Solent.
"But, rounds of golf will take care of that at this stage of the season in only my second tournament of the year.
"I'm looking forward to the next four events as they will have strong fields that should help me push on into the middle part of the season."
After finishing tied fourth at October's British Masters, Bland believes his first tour win is just around the corner.
"If I can keep doing what I was doing last year, I can put a win in there somewhere," he said. "It would be a dream come true."
Its 18 time-specific action points are based on 14 recommendations from a government-appointed panel.
The Bengoa Report includes phrases such as "accountable care systems" and "elective care performance". But what do they mean?
We asked Belfast GP, Dr George O'Neill, to simplify the report's recommendations.
"We are at a crossroads with regard to health and social care, where we have political leadership willing to take on the challenge and have the courageous conversations with their electorate," Dr O'Neill said. "The emphasis being on a patient-centred service delivering improved outcomes for our populations."
Recommendation One
The panel recommends using the dimensions of the Triple Aim as a framework for reform, including an increased emphasis on the experience of those who deliver care.
Dr George O'Neill: "The panel is recommending that we look at population health instead of individual health, based on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and their Triple Aim framework. Triple Aim means three things: improved patient experience, improved health of populations and reduced cost."
Recommendation Two
The panel recommends that the HSC (Health and Social Care) should move to: Formally invest, empower and build capacity in networks of existing health and social care providers (such as Integrated Care Partnerships and the developing GP Federations) to move towards a model based on Accountable Care Systems for defined population based planning and service delivery; and, regionalised planning for specialist services.
Dr George O'Neill: "This looks at what we have already which are GP Federations and developing a system based on some US accountable care organisations."
Recommendation Three
The panel recommends that the HSC should continue its "positive work" and there should be particular focus on the three key areas of workforce, eHealth and integration.
Dr George O'Neill: "This is to continue what we are doing but to empower those developing health and social care, such as nurses and pharmacists, to deliver the skills they are capable of offering. There is a new approach to purchasing - the death of the purchaser/provider split."
Recommendation Four
The minister should create, communicate and lead a clear, powerful, long term vision for the Health and Social Care system as a first step in the implementation process.
Dr George O'Neill: "It is clear that the ministers and politicians should have a long-term vision of the local health and care system that we require. By accountable care services, they mean there will be more cooperation with all those across the health and social care family. They will have a budget to deliver outcomes and they will be accountable for that budget, which is a big change."
Recommendation Five
The panel recommends that plans, costs and timescales for introducing recommendations on areas such as population health and patient care, should be prepared within the next 12 months.
Dr George O'Neill: "They are suggesting we look at population health and risk stratification. Which means targeting those at the greatest risk and who will get the greatest benefit from any identification. You get the facts and figures before you move forward. It mentions the importance of developing new systems."
Recommendation Six
Many of these recommendations will require additional, transitional funding. The panel recommends that the minister should establish a ring-fenced transformation fund.
Dr George O'Neill: "You need seed money to start the whole process of transformational funding and it must be properly resourced."
Recommendation Seven
The panel recommends the creation of a transformation board, supported by the department, linked to the executive's health and well-being strategy. This board would set the mid-term strategy, oversee the transformation process and would be tasked with creating the right conditions for the local system of care to develop successfully. It should help to transform organisational structures and management processes by promoting local decision making, local innovation and scaling up of best practices among the local systems of care.
Dr George O'Neill:"The panel recommends a transformation board being created and that it is linked to the Stormont executive's health and wellbeing strategy."
Recommendation Eight
The system should identify and scale up at least two innovative projects per year where there is clear evidence of improved outcomes for patients or service users.
Dr George O'Neill: "It is self-explanatory, there should be at least two innovative projects per year where there are clear outcomes for patients. That is common sense."
Recommendation Nine
The minister should adopt a continuous improvement methodology to support the reform of health care towards local systems of care. To make this actionable, it is necessary to continue with plans to create stronger quality improvement systems. While the exact remit for this will need to be decided by the minister, the panel feels that it should be locally owned and tasked with providing support and intelligence to enable new projects at the provider level.
Dr George O'Neill: "They are talking about continuous improvement. What it means, in essence, is you look at what is happening regarding specialism. You concentrate on placing the specialism with high volumes where people can hone their skills with appropriately-trained staff to deliver improved and better outcomes. You must ensure the public are involved and have an understanding of what is happening."
Recommendation 10
The minister takes steps to address elective care performance. However, while this is important, it should not be allowed to overshadow the need for long term transformation.
Dr George O'Neill: "They are saying that waiting lists should not overshadow, drown out or slow up the transformation."
Recommendation 11
At the strategic leadership level, the HSC should:
Dr George O'Neill: "This is about leadership, organisational and cultural change. How do you change a culture of an organisation set in concrete since its inception? To do this, everyone will have to change the way they behave - this includes GPs, pharmacists, community care and secondary care."
Recommendation 12
The HSC should consider whether there needs to be a platform for a more open and immediate conversation with staff and service users.
Dr George O'Neill: "How do you sell this to staff and service users? You have to be open transparent and inclusive, things must not happen suddenly."
Recommendation 13
The panel recommends that the department should formally endorse the criteria and apply them to five services each year to set out the future configuration of services to be commissioned (or not) from the Accountable Care Systems. If applying the criteria leads to the conclusion that the service is vulnerable, plans for reconfiguration should be developed and actioned within this 12-month period.
Dr George O'Neill:"Accountable care systems will need to be properly funded, staffed and skilled up."
Recommendation 14
The identification of a senior leader to lead this process at a regional level. This process should be collaborative and inclusive and based on the criteria above.
Dr George O'Neill: "A senior decision maker to be in charge of the day-to-day running and all operational matters regarding health and social care. If this is set up properly it will mean politicians will not micro-manage.
"The example I would use is the policing board where the Police Service of Northern Ireland chief constable is in charge of operational matters - you can put the fire to his feet, but you cannot overrule him."
Javier Hernandez scored twice for Leverkusen but two Daniele De Rossi strikes before half-time made it 2-2.
Miralem Pjanic placed a low free-kick to give the Italians the lead, before Iago Falque converted for 4-2.
But Kevin Kampl curled in from range and with four minutes to spare, Admir Mehmedi tapped in a dramatic leveller.
The German side could have won it when Hernandez fired narrowly wide at the end. They sit second in the group on four points, three adrift of leaders Barcelona, who beat BATE Borisov 2-0.
Their coach Roger Schmidt said "this was far from a normal football game", while sporting director Rudi Voller admitted his side "lost the plot" after Roma had scored their first.
Roma - who are without an away win in the Champions League since 2010 - are now bottom of the group and will realistically need to beat Leverkusen in the Italian capital on 4 November to stand a chance of reaching the last-16.

The "March for Dignity" was organised by ordinary women to defend women's rights and also focused on violence against women.
Poland's laws on abortion are already among the most restrictive in Europe.
Anti-abortion groups are seeking a law which would allow terminations only to save a pregnant woman's life.
Currently the procedure is allowed in cases of rape or incest, if the woman's life is in danger, or if the foetus has medical problems.
The BBC's Adam Easton, in Warsaw, says the two anti-abortion groups who are collecting signatures to introduce the bill have been emboldened by the fact that Poland is now governed by the conservative Law and Justice party.
The party promotes traditional Catholic values.
The body of 65-year-old Christine James was found in her flat in Cardiff Bay on 2 March after she failed to arrive for a flight.

The police response to the death has been referred to the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
"The force awaits notification of the IPCC's decision on its mode of investigation," a police spokesman said.
Mr Balachandran, of The Fleet, Springfield, Milton Keynes, Mr Yogarajah of Dunthorne Way, Grange Farm, Milton Keynes, and the teenager were all arrested on Saturday.
A 23-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday remains in police custody.
The Fourth of July holiday remembers the day in 1776 the 13 American colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming citizens' right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
But not everyone was taking the day too seriously.
Molly Schuyler marked the auspicious occasion by eating 21 Z-Burger hamburgers in an impressive 10 minutes in Washington, thereby successfully defending her title.
Not to be outdone, in Brooklyn, Joey Chestnut claimed his 10th title, eating a not insignificant 72 frankfurters in the same time during Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
A couple of hours south, Island Beach State Park in New Jersey reopened to the public.
The beach had briefly become one of the country's best-known just days earlier, when Governor Chris Christie and his family were pictured sunning themselves on its deserted sands - the politician having shut it to the public due to a row over the state budget.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump returned from his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, to celebrate the day at the White House.
On the other side of the country, in Oregon, 13,000 people gathered for a peace and love festival, at which 15 people were arrested and two people died.
A spokeswoman for the Rainbow Family Gathering said neither deaths were related to violence.
However, it says that there is no risk of electricity supplies being disrupted.
National Grid has issued a Notification of Inadequate System Margin (NISM) as a result of multiple energy plant breakdowns.
"This is part of our standard toolkit for balancing supply and demand," the company said.
"[It] is not an indication there is an immediate risk of disruption to supply or blackouts.
"It indicates that we would like our power held in reserve to be higher."
An additional 500 megawatts is being requested for between 16.30 and 18.30 on Wednesday.
The company last issued a NISM in February 2012, and before that in 2009.
When a notification is issued, generators with spare capacity can respond quickly, ramping up supply within the system.
The National Grid said in the event that this failed to happen it has standby contracts with some gas-fired stations.
It also has "demand side management" contracts with businesses, which allows it to ask them to reduce their energy consumption at specified times.
Last month, the National Grid said gas supplies for the winter months were "comfortable", while electricity supplies were "manageable".
It said the supply of electricity exceeded demand by 5.1%, but only after additional supplies had been secured, such as paying plants to remain on standby.
This is the lowest rate in seven years.
There have been some concerns expressed that the UK could suffer from blackouts as a result of short supplies, brought about in large part from the closure of a number of power stations that have come to the end of their natural life.
However, the National Grid and many experts have dismissed these concerns.
There has been one electricity outage in the past 10 years, according to a study commissioned by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit.
Barcelona made Champions League history by recovering from a 4-0 last-16 deficit to beat Paris St-Germain in the second leg on Wednesday.
How did the players, managers and the world react to one of the greatest nights in European football?
Barca's stunning comeback against the French side - the biggest second-leg turnaround in Champions League history - was "crazy and unbelievable", according to midfielder Ivan Rakitic.
"It was really impossible," added the Croatian. And manager Enrique said: "I was brought to my knees."
Looking to overturn a four-goal deficit, Barca hit back through Luis Suarez's header, Layvin Kurzawa's own goal and Lionel Messi's penalty to go 3-0 up.
Their hopes looked to have faded when Edinson Cavani smashed in just after the hour mark, but Neymar had other ideas with a stunning free-kick on 88 minutes, before stroking in a penalty three minutes later.
With time running out, the Brazilian chipped the ball into the box for Sergi Roberto to stab home the winning goal and send the Nou Camp into raptures.
Enrique added: "I don't think anyone stopped believing. After seeing them sit back despite the goal, the team were incredible.
"We risked everything and it paid off. You get finales like this very occasionally in football and this time it was our turn.
"A feat like this does everyone good and I'm delighted to enjoy a moment like this. The key was our efficiency. The sixth goal was scored with the hope of the fan who was on the other side of the world."
BBC Sport Spanish football writer Andy West at the Nou Camp
Mayhem, utter mayhem.
When Sergi Roberto sent that 95th-minute volley into the Paris St-Germain net, completing the greatest comeback in the history of European football, Camp Nou exploded in a release of raw, ecstatic emotion.
All around me, people were hugging, jumping, screaming. Grown men were crying and strangers were leaping into each other's arms.
Unlike so much of modern sport, there was nothing contrived or orchestrated about those celebrations, about that moment.
This was deep, instinctive passion at its most authentic and unrefined. Just pure, wordless, thoughtless exhilaration. And it is surely for moments like this, which come along once every few years if you're lucky, that sport is so compelling.
From a personal point of view, being there was a privilege. Two decades of attending sporting events in a professional capacity have hardened me to the extent that I thought nothing can move me.
I was wrong.
When that sixth goal went in, any sense of objective detachment completely disappeared, and I was standing open-mouthed, trying to take in what had happened and reminding myself to savour the moment. Something incredible had just happened and I was lucky enough to witness it in person.
Like anyone else who was there, I know that I will talk about the night for years to come, and gradually we will find some words to adequately capture our recollections of how it felt.
But realistically, there are simply no words to capture the full range of the emotions of that moment. I have never seen anything like it, and I probably never will again.

The tree in Paddock Wood was due to be taken down at the start of January but the dove can't be disturbed.
In the UK, all wild birds, their nests and their eggs are protected by law.
The council discovered the dove when they started to remove Christmas decorations from the tree.
A spokesperson said: "Paddock Wood Town Council is happy to leave the tree in place for as long as is necessary and would ask that she is left in peace so she can raise her chicks undisturbed."
The tree will stay in place for around another month after all the dove chicks are able to fly.
She was speaking the day before schools face new requirements to play a bigger part in counter-extremism.
The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act places a legal duty on schools to "prevent people from being drawn into terrorism".
But NUT leader Christine Blower said: "Teachers cannot be turned into spies in the classroom."
Head teachers' leader Russell Hobby said schools should see the regulations in terms of "safeguarding" and not "surveillance".
"Recent events have shown the risks of young people being targeted by radical groups should not be underestimated," said Mrs Morgan.
"Schools and childcare providers already play an important role in protecting and safeguarding young people including from radicalisation and extremism," said the education secretary.
A telephone helpline has been offered for teachers, governors and other staff to raise concerns directly with the Department for Education.
The regulations, being introduced on 1 July, set out new responsibilities for "frontline workers" in public bodies, including schools, to challenge extremism.
It follows high profile cases in which young people have left the UK to join militant groups in Syria and Iraq.
The counter-extremism requirements, applying to primary and secondary, state and independent schools, include warnings against "non-violent extremism".
"Being drawn into terrorism includes not just violent extremism but also non-violent extremism, which can create an atmosphere conducive to terrorism and can popularise views which terrorists exploit," says the government guidance for schools.
Teachers will have to assess the risk of pupils being drawn into extremist ideologies.
There will be training for staff to identify children at risk and "to challenge extremist ideas".
Schools will have to ensure that pupils do not access extremist material online.
Mr Hobby, leader of the National Association of Head Teachers, said schools should "see their duties on radicalisation as another safeguarding duty".
"Schools are used to keeping their students safe from harm and this is a version of that. This means looking out for students rather than conducting surveillance on them.
"It means understanding the risk and acting proportionately. And it does mean reporting serious concerns so that any danger can be prevented before it materialises."
But Christine Blower, leader of the National Union of Teachers, said the "jury is out" on whether such regulations are the best way to get young people to "reject engagement with groups who advocate violence".
She said that the Prevent counter-extremism strategy was already causing "significant nervousness and confusion among teachers".
Ms Blower warned that concerns over extremism could "close down" the classroom debates which could encourage democracy and human rights.
The regulations set out a definition of 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".
There are two sets of guidelines - one for England and Wales and another for Scotland.
Jason Rezaian's case had been referred to a Revolutionary Court, Tehran Chief Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi told the official Irna news agency.
The Washington Post said it hoped the referral represented "a step forward toward Jason's prompt release".
Mr Rezaian, who holds dual US-Iranian citizenship, was arrested with his wife and two associates in July.
The associates were released within weeks, while Yeganeh Salehi was freed on bail in October.
In December, Mr Rezaian was brought before a judge in the Iranian capital to hear charges officially levelled against him and was denied a request for bail.
The specific charges were not made public at the time, nor were they listed in the state media. Reports published on Wednesday evening quoted Mr Jafari Dolatabadi as saying the journalist's case had been sent to a Revolutionary Court for "processing".
The Washington Post said the phrase suggested that the charges against Mr Rezaian could be studied by the court before it decided whether to set a trial date or keep the case in a holding pattern.
Revolutionary Courts mostly handles cases involving security offenses.
"We still do not know what charges the Iranian authorities have brought against our correspondent Jason Rezaian, but we hope the referral of his case to a Revolutionary Court represents a step forward toward Jason's prompt release," Martin Baron, executive editor of the Washington Post, said in a statement.
"This step gives Iran's judiciary an opportunity to demonstrate its fairness and independence by determining that the charges are baseless. We call on Iran to make these charges public, to allow Jason access to a lawyer and to bring a swift and just resolution of a six-month-long nightmare."
Mr Rezaian's mother had been able to see him twice at the end of December, Mr Jafari Dolatabadi said.
Mary Breme Rezaian told the Washington Post last month that her son "looked very different" and had lost 18kg (40lbs). He was also suffering from health problems, including an eye infection and back pain, she said.
The US state department has repeatedly raised the subject of Mr Rezaian's detention during negotiations with Iranian officials over the country's nuclear programme.
Before attending talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Geneva on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said he hoped the issue could be resolved.
"We will have to wait for the judiciary to move forward, but we will try to provide all the humanitarian assistance that we can," Mr Zarif said.

A review of the evidence, by the University of Exeter, suggested sperm number and movement were affected by keeping mobile phones in pockets.
However, one sperm scientist said the evidence was still too sketchy and his phone was staying in his pocket.
The study, published in the journal Environment International, suggested electromagnetic radiation was to blame.
It analysed 10 separate studies on sperm quality involving 1,492 men. These included laboratory tests on sperm exposed to mobile phone radiation and questionnaires of men at fertility clinics.
Lead researcher Dr Fiona Mathews told the BBC that all but one of the studies showed a link between mobile phone exposure and poorer sperm quality.
She added: "The studies are coming out with a consistent message that sperm motility declines with exposure to mobile telephones and similarly proportion which are alive, it's about an eight percentage point fall.
"I think for your average man there's certainly no need to panic, if you already know you have a potential fertility issue then it might be an additional thing to consider - just as you might change your diet - you might want to change where you keep your phone."
She acknowledged criticisms from other scientists about the quality of the evidence saying she "absolutely calls for more research".
Dr Mathews concluded: "This is interesting, but we're obviously not saying that everyone who carries a phone in their pocket is going to become infertile."
How sperm would be damaged by mobile phones is unclear.
Ideas include radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation from the phone disrupting the cycle of sperm production or damaging the DNA. Another suggestion is that heat either directly from the phone or through the radiation, may affect the sperm.
Dr Allan Pacey, from Sheffield University, who researches sperm, remains unconvinced, saying the quality of the evidence is poor and he would not change where he kept his phone.
He told the BBC: "There has been concern for some time about whether keeping a mobile phone in a trouser pocket might affect semen quality and male fertility in some way.
"There have been some crazy and alarming headlines, but, in my opinion, the studies undertaken to date have been somewhat limited in scope because they have either irradiated sperm kept in a dish or they have made assessments of men's phone habits without adequately controlling for confounding variables, such as other aspects of their lifestyle.
"What we need are some properly designed epidemiological studies where mobile phone use is considered alongside other other lifestyle habits.
"Until that time, I will be continuing to keep my iPhone in my right-hand trouser pocket!"

The survivors were picked up from wooden and rubber boats, in 17 separate operations by Italian and French ships.
An Italian ship landed nearly 900 people in Sicily early on Monday.
At least 1,750 people have died this year trying to cross the Mediterranean, a 20-fold increase on the same period in 2014 when 96 people died.
The final number of people rescued over the weekend is expected to rise. The busiest two days for rescues so far this year were April 12 and 13, when 6,500 people were picked up.
Many more migrants are expected to make the crossing in the coming weeks as smugglers take advantage of calmer weather.
In a separate incident on Sunday, three people died when a boat carrying migrants to Europe sank off Egypt's coast, according to Egyptian state media. Thirty-one migrants were reportedly rescued.
At an emergency meeting last month to discuss the crisis, European Union leaders said they would triple the funding for rescue operations run by EU border agency Frontex, and threatened to target smugglers' boats with military strikes.
Italy abandoned its Mare Nostrum search-and-rescue mission last year after some EU members - including the UK - said they could not afford to fund it.
The decision was widely criticised in April after more than 800 people died when a single boat sank - the deadliest capsize recorded in the Mediterranean.
Some of the 27 survivors of the accident described being beaten by smugglers in an attempt to load more migrants on to the boat
The overloaded vessel crashed into a cargo ship shortly after leaving Libya, causing panic on board. The dead were mostly Syrians, Senegalese, Eritreans, and Somalis - adults and children.
The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) has said "much more" needs to be done beyond the EU's current spending plans to tackle the migration crisis in the Mediterranean.

Who are the people smugglers?
What happened on the sinking boat?
The emergency services were called to the blaze near Glencorse Reservoir, at Flotterstone off the A702, just before noon.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said wind was causing the fire to spread through trees and grass.
Crews are using beaters and hoses to fight the fire, which is still well alight.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue service spokeswoman said: "Edinburgh operations control received a call just before midday and mobilised two appliances from Penicuik and Sighthill fire stations.
"Due to the fire being fanned by the wind, further appliances from Dalkieth, Liberton and West Linton have been mobilised to the scene.
"The incident is ongoing and will be for some considerable time.
"The area is popular with hill walkers and we would ask if you can avoid the area until fire operations are concluded."
The British number one beat China's Zhang Shuai to set up a last four meeting with seventh seed Angelique Kerber (04:30 GMT, Thursday).

"I'm fine," said Konta, 24. "Whatever comes, I'm enjoying it."
Konta, who is guaranteed prize money of £370,000, is the first British woman to reach a major semi-final since 1983.
Jo Durie was the last person to achieve that feat, at the US Open in 1983.
Konta also joins Virginia Wade, the Australian Open champion in 1972, and Sue Barker, a semi-finalist in 1975 and 1977, as the only British women to reach the last four at the Australian Open since the open era began in 1968.
Konta was ranked 47 in the world before this tournament and her exploits mean she is likely to break into the world's top 30 on the back of her success in Melbourne.

She says, however, that she does not let her results - good or bad - consume her.
"If you live and die with your wins and losses it is an incredibly tough lifestyle to live," she said. "Separating myself from that gave me a lot of enjoyment and perspective.
"It gave me some peace to realise that I am also working on myself for post-tennis. There is a whole rest of my life for when I retire from tennis whenever that may be - hopefully not for a number of years if I stay nice and healthy."
"Both of them are false," said Konta. "I had a lot of ear infections when I was younger so I didn't learn to swim until I was about 14 so that is definitely false. I was a decent 800m runner, not 400m.
"I'm actually really proud of this... I won at school, I beat the girls and boys so it was a big deal at the time when I was about 11.
"Then I won the district race and I made the state but I just never went because I was training in tennis. It was a big part of my life at that point.
"For me, it has always been tennis. I haven't really explored any other avenues."
Konta was born in Sydney to Hungarian parents and settled in the UK when aged 14 before becoming a British citizen in May 2012.
"Actually I am a tri-citizen," she said. "I've got a Hungarian passport as well. Just add that into the mix - I'm pretty much the female version of Jason Bourne."
When it was suggested other countries may try to claim her allegiance, she added: "That's a real lost cause. I definitely belong to Great Britain."
Home Secretary Theresa May has apparently turned down his visa application.
It means he will no longer be able to tour Britain in February as planned.
So who is this 25-year-old? And what has he done so wrong to make 150,000 people sign a petition to stop him coming to the UK?
The Swiss-born American works for LA-based company Real Social Dynamics and is known as a "pick-up artist".
As a self-described "leader in dating advice", he travels the world telling men how to seduce "any woman they want".
"I teach guys how to gain confidence in order to socialise with women and perhaps get into a relationship with a woman," Blanc told CNN.
"A lot of the clients do meet their spouses on these programmes.
"I receive emails all the time, I've been invited to weddings, people are just eternally thankful."
But despite Blanc's insistence there are plenty of people who find the 25-year-old's approach dangerous, sexist and violent.
The business of men selling themselves as professional "pick-up artists" and "dating gurus" has been growing for years.
For around £125 you can get yourself a 23-part video course with Blanc. For another £200 you can get the videos and a ticket to a live event.
But you don't have to search for long to come across one of his seminars online.
In one video he can be heard telling a group of men: "In Tokyo, if you're a white male, you can do what you want."
In others he's seen grabbing the necks of various women and forcing their faces towards his crotch.
It all started to go wrong for Blanc when the videos from Japan surfaced.
After being shared across social media a petition was started in Australia asking the government to revoke his visa.
Images of Blanc seemingly choking women in the street then added to the political pressure to throw him out.
On 6 November his Australian visa was revoked.
Australian Immigration Minister Scott Morrison explained the decision saying: "This guy wasn't putting forward political ideas, he was putting forward abuse that was derogatory to women and those values are abhorred in this country."
He's also been refused entry to Brazil and now seemingly Britain.
Petitions have also been gathering signatures fast in Japan and Canada.
Canada's Citizen and Immigration Officer Chris Alexander recently tweeted: "My job is to ensure our immigration system does not facilitate violence against anyone in Canada and ensure women are protected from all forms of such."
Blanc has publically spoken for the first time since his Australian visa was revoked.
In an interview with CNN this week, he said: "I 100% take responsibility. I apologise 100% for it. I'm extremely sorry.
"My intentions were never bad. I agree it was a horrible attempt at humour and unfortunately a lot of it got put out of context.
"With those pictures... I want to make it clear that that is not what I teach. It was a horrible, horrible attempt at humour.
"Those girls were girls I was hanging out with. I did place my hand around their neck. I did not physically choke them.
"They were also taken out of context. You can make anything look bad."
But it seems that apology hasn't had an impact on Home Secretary Theresa May's decision.
A UK Home Office spokesman told Newsbeat today: "The home secretary has the power to exclude an individual if she considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good or if their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds."
The spokesman also said the Home Office doesn't comment on individual exclusion cases unless they are made public by the excluded individual.

Mukhtar Hussain, defence counsel for Roger Cooper, told Birmingham Crown Court that prosecutors have deployed "imaginary and erroneous" speculation against his client.
Mr Cooper, 41, and his brother David, 38, deny murdering Sameena Imam, from Cardiff, on Christmas Eve last year.
Ms Imam's body was found buried on David Cooper's allotment in January.
Roger Cooper managed the Coventry warehouse of cash-and-carry firm Costco and was having an affair with Ms Imam, the company's marketing manager.
It is alleged that Mr Cooper, from Coventry, thought he would be sacked if their relationship was exposed.
Mr Hussain said Ms Imam was in a good mood after travelling from Coventry to Leicester with Roger Cooper to the home of his brother.
Jurors were told she suddenly went rigid after a comment made by David Cooper.
Mr Hussain added: "She was angry about the lack of trust and respect and told Roger Cooper that he had crossed the line.
"She was sobbing, crying, shouting, hysterical. She clearly thought, you may think, that her privacy had been invaded when he had asked his brother to go and spy on her."
The court heard Ms Imam demanded to be let out of the car so she could get a taxi.
"He stopped at a Tesco. She gathered up her things and stormed off. That was the last he saw of her," said Mr Hussain.
The case continues.
Stephen Thomas Hughes, 29, and Shaunean Boyle, 25, are accused of murdering Owen Creaney between 3 July and 6 July 2014.
Both have denied the charges.
Ms Boyle, from Edenderry Park, Banbridge, pleaded not guilty at Belfast Crown Court on Friday.
In February, Mr Hughes, whose address was given as Maghaberry Prison and is originally from Craigavon, also denied murder.
Mr Creaney, 40, from Lurgan, was found dead at Moyraverty Court in Craigavon.
He was found dumped in a wheelie bin after subjected to a violent assault.
The court previously heard that the victim had been showered before being put in the bin.
The case will be reviewed again in June before the trial is expected to start in September.
The Royal British Legion said there would be a series of events ahead of Remembrance Sunday on 13 November.
LLandaff Cathedral in Cardiff is among 30 buildings which were lit up, as well as all Cadw-owned sites across Wales.
Antony Metcalfe of the Royal British Legion said it "was important to remember there's a new generation that needs your support".
This comes as the charity asked people to recognise younger veterans and serving soldiers as Remembrance and the poppy were commonly associated with with older, World War Two veterans.
Buildings which will be lit up until Remembrance Sunday include Conwy Castle, St Mary's Cathedral, Wrexham, Aberystwyth Castle and war memorial, the Senedd and City Hall in Cardiff.
The charity said this was a mark of respect to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Battle of the Somme and the 4,000 men from The 38th (Welsh) Division who were killed or injured at Mametz Wood in World War One.
A crowd was at Karachi airport when Khan, 43, landed and there were more angry fans waiting for him at his home.
Senior police official Tariq Dharejo said: "We have deployed some police at Moin's residence for security reasons as people were causing disturbances."
The former test captain has apologised for his actions.
"I went to the casino to have dinner with some friends but in hindsight it was an inappropriate judgement on my part given the disappointment in the team's performance at the World Cup," said Khan, who was ordered home by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Pakistan were heavily beaten in their opening two games against India and West Indies. and are bottom of Pool B.
University of Edinburgh scientists found the painkiller interrupted the production of testosterone when given for seven days.
The hormone is key to the development of male reproductive organs.
NHS guidelines say paracetamol should be taken only if necessary in pregnancy and for the shortest possible time.
And anyone needing long-term treatment must seek medical advice.
The UK watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, says paracetamol is one of the few painkillers generally considered safe if expectant mothers absolutely need to take it.
It can also be important in treating fevers that could otherwise lead to harm
But previous studies have hinted that paracetamol could kick-start reproductive problems in the womb.
For example, Danish research found women who took painkillers were more likely to have boys born with undescended testes - this can sometimes lead to future reproductive troubles.
To find out what might be behind this link, scientists engineered a system to mimic the conditions of human pregnancy as closely as possible.
Mice were implanted with human foetal tissue and given paracetamol for seven days.
They had much lower levels of testosterone in their blood than those given a dummy drug.
But when given doses for just one day, it appeared to have no effect.
Dr Rod Mitchell, the lead researcher, said: "This study adds to existing evidence that prolonged use of paracetamol in pregnancy may increase the risk of reproductive disorders in male babies.
"We would advise that pregnant women should follow current guidance that the painkiller be taken at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time."
Researchers caution it is still too early to tell to what extent their findings apply to humans, but point out that a study on pregnant women would not be possible for ethical reasons.
However, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says paracetamol is an important treatment that should not be avoided altogether.
Dr Martin Ward-Platt, spokesman for the organisation, added: "The study specifically relates to paracetamol use over at least several days.
"There are times where one or two doses is needed to treat one-off episodes of fever, for example.
"Fever during pregnancy can be harmful to the developing embryo, with links to a significant increase in the rates of spina bifida and heart malformations, so small doses of paracetamol are sometimes necessary."
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, which monitors the safety of drugs used in the UK, said it would be "carefully evaluating" the findings.
Meanwhile, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists warns the study has to be treated with caution.
Dr Sadaf Ghaem-Maghami, of the college's scientific advisory committee, said: "This is a robust piece of research.
"However, it is important to note that the study was carried out in animal models and it is not possible to translate the findings into a recommendation regarding what would be safe or unsafe in pregnant women.
"Additionally, the mice were not pregnant but in a 'pregnancy state' which was induced by a hormone and human foetal testicular tissue which was grafted on to them.
"Further research needs to be conducted into how paracetamol may affect testosterone levels as well as examining the long-term developmental effects on testosterone production."
The study is published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Responsibility for ill health and disability benefits is being devolved to Holyrood.
Social Security Minister Jeane Freeman believes there is "value in looking at at whether we continue to use the word 'benefits'" when that happens.
A consultation on how devolved benefits should be delivered has been launched.
Ms Freeman, who was elected to Holyrood in May, made the comments as she launched the 13 week consultation with Social Security Secretary Angela Constance.
The Scottish government has already made clear its ambition to place "dignity, fairness and respect" at the heart of the new welfare system.
Ms Freeman said: "I do think there is value in looking at whether or not we continue to use the word 'benefit', because there is an implication in there that is the rest of us doing something nice for somebody else, when actually what we have said consistently as a government is that social security is an investment we make collectively in ourselves.
"Part of how you make dignity, fairness and respect real as opposed to just fine words is about the culture that the organisation that will deliver those benefits embraces, and how people receive that in their dealings with that organisation.
"There are some things you can do to affect quite quick cultural change, and part of that is around language and thinking, so there is value in looking at whether or not we don't simply call these payments, as opposed to benefits, or some other word."
A social security bill is expected to be introduced to Holyrood in May or June next year, while the proposed new Scottish social security agency could be making payments to people before the 2021 elections.
Payments such as disability living allowance, personal independence payments, attendance allowance, severe disablement allowance and industrial injuries disabled benefit will become the responsibility of MSPs, as well as carer's allowance - which the Scottish government has already committed to increasing to the same level as jobseeker's allowance.
Other benefits being devolved include sure start maternity grants - which are to be changed to best start grants - funeral payments, cold weather and winter fuel payments, discretionary housing payments and some powers over Universal Credit.
Westminster will retain responsibility for much of the Universal Credit system, along with pensions, child benefit and maternity and paternity pay.
Ms Constance described Holyrood taking responsibility for part of the existing welfare system as "the biggest and most complex programme of change, probably in the history of devolution".
She added: "We want to gather views from as many people as possible from across Scotland about their own experience of benefits and how they think the system could be improved in the future."
Scottish Labour social security spokesman Mark Griffin said: "The new powers coming to our Scottish Parliament give us the opportunity to build a Scottish welfare state with dignity at its heart.
"We can do things differently now. With the power to top up and create new benefits, there is a huge opportunity to tackle poverty and inequality in Scotland.
"Labour will support the government where they show ambition in social security but we will not allow the SNP to simply pass on Tory cuts."
Ryan Sidebottom, Tim Bresnan and Jack Brooks took three wickets each to earn their side a 188-run lead.
Acting captain Gary Ballance declined to enforce the follow-on and openers Adam Lyth (41) and Alex Lees (30) extended the lead with a 72-run stand.
Ballance then helped himself to an unbeaten 75 as Yorkshire reached the close on 200-4, 388 runs ahead.
Bottom-of-the-table Nottinghamshire's batting performance earlier in the day did not augur well for their chances of avoiding relegation.
Resuming on 38-2, they were rocked by an inspired opening spell from Sidebottom, who had Michael Lumb caught behind, trapped Steven Mullaney (25) lbw and Samit Patel taken at first slip.
Brendan Taylor hung on for an hour and a quarter for 14 - making him the third and last Notts batsman to reach double figures - but was then bowled by Steven Patterson.
Lees gave Yorkshire's second innings an early flourish with four successive boundaries off Mullaney and although the home side got rid of both openers and Jake Lehmann (35), England batsman Ballance ensured they will face a tough final two days with 12 boundaries so far.
The UK astronaut has given his first full news conference since touching down on the Kazakh steppe on Saturday.
He is the first person to fly to space under the UK banner since Helen Sharman in 1991 and made the first spacewalk by a UK astronaut.
During the 186-day mission mission, Maj Peake also remotely steered a robot on Earth and ran the London Marathon.
He told a news conference: "I would do it again in a heartbeat. And I can say that because I've spoken to my wife and she is incredibly supportive of it."
He also said he hoped the UK would send further Britons into space.

Living on the International Space Station
"We have to be continuing our contributions to human spaceflight," he told journalists at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany.
But he explained: "Life doesn't stop with the International Space Station," adding that there were likely to be other upcoming opportunities over the coming years, including potential missions to the Moon and Mars.
"If we are not involved now we will simply miss the boat," he said.
Describing the descent to Earth on Saturday, Maj Peake said: "The descent is a really exciting ride... you can't help the boy inside you that's enjoying this fantastic ride back from space.
He said the pyrotechnic bolts that went off to separate the descent module (containing the crew members) from the other two parts of the Soyuz capsule sounded "like a very heavy machine gun", adding that "the spacecraft really does blow itself apart".
As the Soyuz capsule dropped further in altitude, Mr Peake said: "You really get a strong sensation that you are falling back to the planet... the capsule gets very hot, you're working against the Gs (gravitational forces), you're working hard against the heat, you've got your visor down with not much ventilation, you're having to read the systems and check the spacecraft."
But he explained: "Probably the most dynamic part is where the parachute - the drogue chute - opens. For 20 seconds you're getting really flung around, so you have to hold on and wait for it all to stop."
Maj Peake emphasised the importance of inspiring the next generation. The UK Space Agency had devised a programme of educational activities around the astronaut's "Principia" mission.
These included contests to design the spaceman's mission patch, to devise a meal for Maj Peake to eat in space and an experiment comparing the growth of seeds that had been in space with those that remained on Earth.
He said: "We have reached over a million schoolchildren... I'm delighted we've got them to think about space and science in a different way," adding that he wanted them to know that: "You can go to the Moon."
Asked what he would tell pupils at his old school, Tim Peake said: "I think the message to take away is that you're looking at a boy who went to Westbourne Primary School who left school at the age of 19 with three below average A-levels and I've just got back from a six-month mission to space.
"My message to them is: 'Don't let anyone tell you you can't do anything'."
Maj Peake said he had already been receiving rehabilitation following his return. But he would now be involved in a physical programme to help him return to full fitness.
Extended periods in microgravity takes a large toll on the body, including a decrease in bone density and muscle wastage.

The participants, aged between three and 22, swam, cycled and raced at the event at Cardiff Metropolitan University
Organisers Bigmoose said disabilities included cerebral palsy, epilepsy, blindness and Down's syndrome.
The charity said the event was geared towards individual goals, with 120 volunteers accompanying the children and their families.

The Twentieth Century Society fear mosaics created by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi will be lost at Tottenham Court Road station.
The society said the archways of "very high quality" mosaics should be saved.
Redevelopment work is intended to improve access with new entrances and lifts.
Transport for London (TfL) said efforts had been made to retain over 95% of the Paolozzi mosaics in their current position or with a mixture of new and original tiles, but for structural reasons the mosaic covered arches could not be saved.
Henrietta Billings, senior conservation adviser at the Twentieth Century Society, warned that mosaic covered arches over escalators and a large decorative panel would be "demolished imminently".
She added: "But both of these pieces are of very high quality and we believe they could be successfully retained within the new station - or relocated.
"To destroy them would be a tragic loss and London deserves better."
Gareth Powell, director of strategy and service development at LU, said the Paolozzi Foundation had been involved in efforts to ensure the station continues "to provide a home for the work".
Mosaics have been restored and replaced on the Northern Line and similar work will be carried out on the Central Line.
He added: "This process involved colour matching and following the same production used for the original tiles.
"We also have plans to relocate the signature pieces at the former Oxford Street entrance."

Many of these people are living in a makeshift camp in Calais known as "The Jungle".
They have tried to make the camp as liveable as possible - constructing shelters, a school and a community canteen.
Martin has been to the French town to find out more the growing migrant crisis there.
If confirmed, it would reverse a police statement earlier on Wednesday banning the demonstration.
Philippe Martinez, the head of the left-wing CGT union, said the ban had been lifted after an emergency meeting with the interior minister.
Police had insisted any rally would have to be stationary, citing violence at a Paris protest last week.
But the ban elicited a furious reaction, with union leaders and many Twitter users pledging to defy it.
"After tough talks with the interior minister, the union and student organisations obtained the right to demonstrate on a route proposed by the interior ministry," Mr Martinez told a news conference.
Mr Martinez said it was a "victory for democracy" and urged workers to turn out in "massive" numbers.
The agreed route, proposed by the interior ministry, will cover 1.6km (one mile) near the centre of Paris.
That is much shorter than the original route proposed by the unions - so short, in fact, that Liberation newspaper suggested (in French) that if there were a large turnout, it could end up being stationary anyway.
The march is the latest in a series of mass demonstrations and strike action against controversial changes to employment laws.
But violence has marred previous protests. On 14 June, hundreds of masked protesters threw chunks of paving and set cars ablaze and a children's hospital in central Paris was badly damaged.
French police are "on the verge of a breakdown", according to one of their union leaders.
They are physically worn out by their multitude of tasks, morally exhausted by the constant criticism, and now - more than ever before - anxious for their very lives.
Who would be a French cop?
Police responded with tear gas and water cannon, and dozens of officers were injured.
In their earlier statement, the Paris police department said the police, who have the task of providing security for the Euro 2016 football championship and countering the threat of terrorism, were under too much pressure to allow the march to proceed.
The government's labour reforms make it easier for employers to hire and fire workers and relax the limit on working hours.
However, the bill was watered down before ministers decided to force it through the lower house of parliament to avoid it being voted down.
Does France's workforce really have it easy?
Nevin told BBC Scotland's Sportsound that the Scottish Football Association did not provide comfortable seats on the overnight flight back from Tbilisi.
He said there was only burger and chips for the players to eat at the airport.
"The SFA has not done this well on this occasion," said Nevin. "Something has to be done. That cannot happen again."
The squad's return flight, after Scotland's 1-0 defeat by Georgia in Euro 2016 qualifying, was delayed by two and a half hours. The team arrived back in Glasgow about 06:00 BST on Saturday, with a match against world champions Germany to follow on Monday evening.
Nevin complimented the "ultra pleasant" SFA for doing "a lot of things really well on this trip".
However, he criticised them for failing to act on his suggestion to an official on the outward flight that something ought to be done to give the players more leg room then and on the return trip.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live before Scotland's 3-2 defeat by Germany at Hampden, Nevin said: "The seats on that plane were uncomfortable for me. I'm 5ft 6.5in. Imagine how they must have felt for the players, who are travelling overnight.
"It was a six-hour flight with a three-hour delay, 4,000km over three time zones, in those cramped seats.
"After the game, we had two or three hours milling about in the airport afterwards with the fans, with the journalists.
"The players lined up in front of Burger King where they ate burger and chips.
"They had to refuel but there was no other food that they could have.
"What about all these sports scientists? I was really, really disappointed with the organisation."
The SFA declined to comment on the points he had raised.
On Wednesday's Sportsound, Nevin revealed he had spoken to some of the players "who were really disappointed with it" but who "are not going to say anything because it's after the game and they have been beaten".
"They are a great bunch of guys; they are not going to complain about everything," said the former Chelsea and Everton winger.
"The plane was a (Boeing) 737-800, I believe, which is not the standard of plane the players would expect to be going on a long-haul journey - it's a six-hour flight - and particularly a journey back overnight.
"What you have to do is bite the bullet and get the best plane available and make sure the players can get a bit of kip and lie back.
"There isn't a team on this planet that thinks it's a really good idea to go without sleep two nights before playing the world champions.
"All I want is for it to be better for the players to give them the best chance."
Nevin said on the outward journey there were 18 seats free that afforded better leg room than the players had in the seats they were allocated.
He himself had a "good" seat and this prompted him to speak to the SFA official.
"There was the opportunity to adapt it and it wasn't taken," said Nevin.
And on the subject of nutrition, he said: "Have a read back at anything Gordon Strachan has ever said about eating and refuelling and then think about burger and chips and try to get your head round it."
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme, Mr Murphy refused to say how he would achieve this but said he would let his constituents know first.
He also said he was "determined" to hang on to every Scottish Labour seat at Westminster.
"It's feasible but tough," he said.
"There is a lot of work to do but I am determined to hold onto every seat we currently have and I am confident we can.
"We can either protest against the Tories or replace the Tories."
Mr Murphy, who ran next to the River Clyde during a photocall, also told the programme he planned to give his leadership contest rivals Neil Findlay and Sarah Boyack roles in his new cabinet.
"I'm keen to rediscover the Team Labour approach," he said. "I'm going to build a talent-based team where we bring everyone together."
"The contest was a good advert for the Scottish Labour party. It was free of the personal acrimony of the past."
Speaking about his plans to gain a seat at Holyrood he said: "I have given a commitment that I will be in the Scottish Parliament in 2016 and Labour candidate for first minister by 2016.
"I'd like to be there sooner than that and in terms of how we do that, of course I will let my constituents and constituency party know first.
"But there is a cast iron guarantee to be a candidate in those elections, if not before."
Mr Murphy, who currently has a seat at Westminster, indicated he would not be an MP and an MSP at the same time, saying: "It is not something I am attracted to."
He said he was determined to lead the party from Scotland.
"I am going to lead the Scottish Labour Party from Scotland, in Scotland," he said.
"I am also going to include people who aren't in the Labour Party, some who have never voted Labour, and get these fresh ideas in and strengthen our party."
Mr Murphy said the Smith Commission package of devolved powers given to Scotland was strong but said welfare powers should be devolved to towns and cities rather than left with "people sitting behind a desk in Edinburgh".
The new Scottish leader earlier told BBC Radio Five Live he would not be consulting Ed Miliband on policies or campaigns in Scotland.
"I don't need to consult the leader," he said.
"I'm proud of being part of a wider Labour movement across the United Kingdom.
"But the days in which anyone needed permission from the Labour Party anywhere else in the United Kingdom to make a decision about what happens in Scotland are gone and they're gone for good.
"They're not coming back. I need no-one's permission. I consult no-one on the issues that are devolved in Scotland other than the people of Scotland and the Scottish Labour Party.
"That's the way it's going to be in future."
Mr Murphy's predecessor, Johann Lamont, resigned after the independence referendum saying Labour's Westminster leadership had treated the party in Scotland as a "branch office".
"I didn't agree with the comment about the branch office and I'm going to make clear how that will change," Mr Murphy said.
"Things on election tactics, election strategy, party funding, party strategy, the policies are devolved to the Scottish Parliament - those decisions will be made in Scotland in future," he said.
He added: "I'm big enough and I'm ugly enough and I've been round long enough not to be pushed around."
Lydia Bishop got her neck caught in a rope on an outdoor slide in September 2012, on what was her first full day at York College nursery.
Sophee Redhead, 25, of York, had denied manslaughter by gross negligence.
She was cleared, although York College was found guilty by the jury at Leeds Crown Court of health and safety breaches in relation to the nursery.
The college operated the nursery, which has since been closed, for children of staff, students and members of the public.
Lydia died after a rope attached to a slide at the nursery became entangled around her neck.
She lay undiscovered for 20 minutes before Miss Redhead found her.
The trial heard the rope had been attached to the slide by nursery staff and was supposed to have been removed at the end of every supervised play session.
However, the rope had been in place for about two months at the time of Lydia's death.
The trial heard that Lydia's mother Rebecca Dick had just enrolled on a course at the college and had been for introductory sessions with her daughter.
The day Lydia died was her first full day at the nursery, the jury was told, and her mother was assured children were not left alone outside to play on the apparatus.
Following the verdict, Det Ch Insp Nigel Costello, of North Yorkshire Police, said: "This was an extremely tragic case for all concerned, not least for Lydia's family who have been left devastated by the loss of their daughter."
Alison Birkinshaw, principal and chief executive of York College, said: "We deeply regret what happened and can't begin to imagine the pain experienced by Lydia's family and everyone affected by this terrible tragedy."
The judge, Mr Justice Coulson, said York College would be sentenced next week.
Miss Redhead was also acquitted of an alternative charge of failing to take "reasonable care" of the girl under health and safety legislation.
The boy, 16, was riding on Brantingham Road, Elloughton, when he was hit from behind and knocked down by a car on Friday night.
Police said an arrest was made after calls from members of the public.
The boy is in critical condition at Hull Royal Infirmary with "life-threatening injuries", police added.
Michael Luciano, 58, and Philip Luciano, 29, allegedly sold synthetic opioids fentanyl and oxycodone on AlphaBay before its closure.
The notorious site was targeted by investigators during an international operation earlier this year.
Authorities allege the Lucianos' drug sales date back to February last year.
AlphaBay was quietly taken over by agents earlier this year and later shut down.
The pair are said to have traded on AlphaBay using the pseudonym Zane61 and received positive reviews from some customers.
One allegedly wrote: "Fast shipping, great vendor. Good stealth, price, and A+ product."
It was the son, Philip, who allegedly "handled the technological aspects" of the transactions, including the purchase of bitcoins, according to investigators.
"Fentanyl is a societal scourge powerful enough to rob the lives of those who use in an instant," said Philip Bartlett of the US Postal Inspection Service.
"Today's arrest of this father and son should serve as a strong reminder the anonymity of the Dark Web can't always protect you from the long arm of the law."
At the time of AlphaBay's closure, Europol said the seized data would lead to new investigations into users of the marketplace.
The investigation into the Lucianos dates back to before AlphaBay's seizure by authorities, however.

The 70-year-old agreed to take over at St Andrew's on Tuesday, a day after Gianfranco Zola resigned.
"I'm not being paid. It doesn't bother me though," Redknapp told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I have got a bonus. It's not a massive one, but I said 'if I don't keep you up, I don't want paying'."
Former West Ham, Tottenham and Portsmouth manager Redknapp revealed he had the same arrangement when he worked as an adviser to Derby County at the end of last season.
He added: "I said to them 'if you don't make the play-offs, I don't want any money'. If we hadn't made the play-offs, I wouldn't have got paid anything."
Redknapp has not managed in English football since leaving QPR in February 2015 but is confident he can have an energising effect on Blues, who are only three points clear of the relegation zone.
He said: "When a team only wins two out of 24, it tells you it's not going to be easy. But you've got to believe in yourself and believe in the team.
"I've been in these sort of situations before. They're always difficult, but I'm ready for it."
His first game in charge is away to local rivals Aston Villa on Sunday, and Blues then face Huddersfield at home before finishing the season away at Bristol City.
And although Redknapp is initially only involved for those three matches, and has attended just one training session so far, he has already seen enough in the club to believe it can challenge for the top six - if he can mastermind survival.
"I think if we can stay up this year, the potential is here to build a team that next year would be looking at the play-offs," he said.
"It's not that difficult to put together a good team in the Championship, if you know what you're doing. You can go out and pick up players, you haven't got to spend fortunes.
"Right now, it's tight at the bottom. Wigan and Blackburn have still got a big chance, so we're going to need some points from somewhere, starting if we can on Sunday."
Facebook says it will appeal against the decision and that the order relates to a cookie it has used for five years.
The cookie is installed when an internet user visits a Facebook page even if they are not members.
However, the Belgian court said that the company was obliged to obtain consent to collect the information being gathered.
"The judge ruled that this is personal data, which Facebook can only use if the internet user expressly gives their consent, as Belgian privacy law dictates," it said in a statement.
If Facebook fails to comply, it could face a fine of up to 250,000 euros (£180,000) per day.
The fine would go to the Belgian Privacy Commission, which brought the case, the court added.

Monitor began an investigation into the running of The Christie NHS Foundation Trust on 8 March.
Stephen Hay, of Monitor, said it had found concerns over The Christie's governance.
But Mr Hay said there were no concerns about the care it provided. The Christie has declined to comment.
Mr Hay, managing director of provider regulation at Monitor, said: "The Christie is going through some serious difficulties and our investigation has found concerns with the way the board was operating."
He added: "Whilst we've no concerns about the care it provides, it is important to patients, taxpayers and staff that the trust be well-run."
The investigation into the trust followed the resignation in February of its chairman, Lord Bradley. Its chief executive, Caroline Shaw, has been under suspension since November as part of an internal disciplinary investigation, although Monitor said its inquiries did not involve any allegations relating to Ms Shaw.
Monitor has appointed Sir Hugh Taylor, chair of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, as interim chairman of The Christie.
It said that under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, it could require foundation trusts to make senior appointments if it considered them to be in the best interests of patients.
Earlier, Monitor said it was examining whether the trust had breached its licence to provide healthcare services by failing "the principles of good governance".
It said there were concerns that the board of the trust had "not adhered to the required corporate governance standards".
Although The Christie said it would not comment on Monitor's findings, it said it welcomed its new chairman.
In a statement the hospital said: "We are hopeful that Sir Hugh's appointment, along with his experience and expertise, will bring the ongoing situation to a swift and satisfactory resolution."
It added: "The trust and charity's activities continue to be delivered to the very highest standards, and patients, families and carers can be reassured that this situation in no way affects or compromises patient care."
Manchester Withington MP John Leech has previously described the situation as a "mess".
"My primary concern through all of this is to make sure patients come first," he said.
Kathryn Wood, 69, from Baguley, Wythenshawe, who was treated for cancer at The Christie, said the hospital was "wonderful".
"Without a shadow it saved my life," she said. "I can't praise the hospital or the staff enough."
The Christie, based in Withington, treats more than 40,000 patients a year.
The Ministry of Defence is investing £135m in new facilities in preparation for the arrival of the F-35B Lightning II aircraft next year.
The money will pay for a new hangar to house 12 of the jets and and provide vertical landing pads.
Two existing runways and taxiways will be resurfaced.
Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said: "This contract will ensure that RAF Marham has the facilities to match this world-class aircraft when it arrives next year.
"Throughout the F-35 programme, British firms have won major contracts creating thousands of jobs.
"The contract to improve the runways and taxiways as well as installing new landing pads will bring local jobs to Marham."
Last year it was announced the government was investing £167m in centres for aircraft training and maintenance at RAF Marham.
Due to open in 2018, three new buildings on the site will provide training facilities for pilots and ground crews.
Having trailed 15-13 at half-time, Chiefs were more clinical in the second period to earn an impressive away win.
Lewis Ludlow and Jonny May's first-half tries had put Gloucester ahead, before Ian Whitten went over for Chiefs.
Ben Moon, James Short and Will Chudley then all crossed after the break as Chiefs took a decisive lead, while May added a consolation for the hosts.
Exeter will now host third-placed Saracens in their semi-final, while Gloucester - who made eight changes before Friday's Challenge Cup final in Edinburgh - will need to beat Stade Francais in order to compete in the Champions Cup play-offs instead of seventh-placed Northampton.
After a sustained spell of early Gloucester pressure, May fed Ludlow for the opening score and, after Greig Laidlaw exchanged penalties with Gareth Steenson, May intercepted a loose Steenson pass to run clear.
Whitten then cut through Gloucester to cross for Chief's first try, before his vital last-ditch tackle prevented Charlie Sharples from extending the hosts' lead.
After half-time, Moon and Short both went over in the corner in quick succession, before May crossed for his second for the Cherry and Whites and Laidlaw brought them to within seven.
But Chudley's try made the win safe for Chiefs, who finished second, level on points with table-topping Wasps, who beat Sarries.
Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter:
"To have Saracens there (at Sandy Park) will be fantastic. Everyone knows how good Saracens are and we could be potentially playing the best side in Europe in a home semi-final.
"I'm really pleased we have two weeks to prepare for it. We need it as we have boys bumped and bruised. We will have players back which is fantastic as well and it will make training next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday a bit spicy because the guys will want to lay down some markers to get into that semi-final team."
Gloucester head coach Jonny Bell:
"We mixed some tremendous rugby but the difference between the two sides was they were accurate when they had their opportunities and took them.
"We were not accurate so that is why they are a top-four side because they don't need a huge number of invitations to take points. We did well to take our scores but, ultimately, it was poor execution by us."
Gloucester: Hook; Sharples, Scott, Atkinson, May; Twelvetrees, Laidlaw (capt); McAllister, Hibbard, Afoa, Savage, Galarza, Clarke, Ludlow, Morgan.
Replacements: Dawidiuk, Thomas, Hohneck, Thrush, Rowan, Heinz, Thorley, Trinder.
Exeter: Nowell; Woodburn, Whitten, Devoto, Short; Steenson (capt), Townsend; Moon, Cowan-Dickie, Williams, Atkins, Parling, Dennis, Salvi, Horstmann.
Replacements: Yeandle, Rimmer, Francis, Skinner, S Simmonds, Chudley, J Simmonds.

The fourth Cardiff Contemporary is set in traditional galleries but also in derelict buildings - and even on the roof of a car park.
Artists are working to the theme of communication.
The festival, subtitled Are You Ready?, is inspired by Guglielmo Marconi's radio experiments on Flat Holm Island.
Those were the words transmitted in Morse code across the Bristol Channel to Lavernock Point in May 1897.
The biennial festival has already grabbed the headlines after a sighting of a "meteorite" off Penarth seafront, which went viral on social media, turned out to be a deliberate hoax by artist Mark James.
It was part of his work 'A Response', inspired by "a response from whatever life lives out beyond the stars, who might be watching us and the state our world is in".
There are 45 artists involved in different projects across the city, some of them arts spaces but also in derelict buildings and pop-up venues.
Ruth Cayford, festival manager, said: "It's been incredible how the city has come together to make this work - from artists, businesses, the hotels, the council, the support from Arts Council Wales - it's quite a beautiful story how everyone has been working to make something cultural happen in the city."
Musician Richard James has been working with artists Angharad Van Rijswijk and Andy Fung, as well as comedian and writer Stewart Lee, on themes explored in Arthur Machen's book The Hill of Dreams.
"We're using stereo surround sound - trying to make it an immersive experience. I wanted a project which incorporated different types of visual art, sonic art and composition," said James, co-founder of the band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.
"It was all about trying to capture the magic of childhood and childhood landscapes and how they inform us as we get older and mature into adults."
It is one of the installations in a former derelict motorcycle garage in the city centre.
"It's quite dilapidated - I quite like the idea of having it in this sort of place. It takes it out of conventional galleries and I like making use of buildings no longer in use."
The event is sitting alongside the start of the Artes Mundi exhibition at National Museum Wales and Chapter.
The Danish champions led 2-1 from the first leg and Pione Sisto increased their advantage.
Nikolay Bodurov's own goal reduced the deficit before Rashford, who only started after Anthony Martial was injured in the warm-up, struck twice.
Ander Herrera's penalty and Memphis Depay's late goal completed the rout.
Juan Mata missed a penalty at 1-1, while Midtjylland finished with 10 men after Andre Romer was sent off for a second yellow card.
While the scoreline was emphatic in the end, United were looking at an embarrassing exit before Rashford netted twice in the space of 12 second-half minutes in front of the Stretford End.
The 18-year-old, named as a substitute on the team sheet, was only elevated to the starting line-up after France forward Martial damaged his hamstring in the warm-up.
Manchester-born Rashford showed confidence beyond his years from the start, but Sisto's tidy finish left Louis van Gaal's side staring at an embarrassing exit at the hands of a team formed in 1999.
Bodurov lifted the mood inside Old Trafford when he sliced Depay's cutback into his own net before Mata's spot-kick was saved by Mikkel Andersen after Ander Herrera was clipped by Kian Hansen.
The exciting Rashford put United ahead when he tucked home from seven yards before repeating the trick with a half-volley to make it 3-1.
Herrera added his side's fourth from the penalty spot after Hansen handled before Depay's thumping effort completed the scoring.
It looked like another sorry chapter in United's season of under-achievement even before a ball had been kicked.
Defender Chris Smalling was ruled out earlier on Thursday with a shoulder problem, paving the way for 19-year-old Joe Riley, a substitute in United's FA Cup win at Shrewsbury three days earlier, to make his first senior start.
Martial's injury paved the way for Rashford's debut, but after recovering from falling behind on the night, United scored four times inside the final half hour to pull away.
They could even afford to end the match with another teenage debutant on the pitch in the shape of 17-year-old Regan Poole.
Under-pressure Van Gaal managed a smile at the end after his side scored five in a match for the first time under his control in front of a 58,609 crowd.
BBC Sport's Simon Stone at Old Trafford
Manchester United are fond of talking about their 'great' European nights. The last came against Olympiakos under David Moyes two years ago when United overturned a 2-0 first leg deficit to win 3-2. Tonight will be added to the list.
Any doubts - and there remain plenty - amongst the United fans about manager Van Gaal were set aside for the good of the team.
They stuck with them when their team went a goal down - and again when Juan Mata missed his penalty. Slight murmurings were beginning with Rashford took centre stage, and after that the decibel levels went right up.
Indeed, if supporters were writing a template for what constituted an ideal night, this would probably be it. Comeback win, five goals and a local boy becoming the hero.
Indeed, so young is Rashford - a product of the same Fletcher Moss club where Wes Brown and Danny Welbeck cut their teeth - he has become United's youngest goalscorer in Europe.
The draw for the last-16 stage takes place on Friday and there is a chance United could be paired with a friendly face - as well as a bitter rival.
Liverpool and Tottenham are also through and, with no country protection, teams from the same league can be drawn against one another.
Valencia, managed by former United defender Gary Neville, are also through after a 10-0 aggregate win over Rapid Vienna.
United have just two full days to recover before they entertain Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday (14:05 GMT). The Gunners are seeking to do the double over Van Gaal's side having defeated the Red Devils 3-0 at the Emirates on 4 October.

The trio finished on 12-under but Fowler beat Kisner at the first sudden death hole after Garcia was earlier eliminated.
It was his second PGA Tour win after success in the Wells Fargo Championship in August 2012.
"I felt really good all week, this is special," said the 26-year-old.
In the first three-hole aggregate play-off in tournament history, Garcia could only play the 16th, 17th and 18th in level par as Fowler and Kisner played them in one under thanks to birdies on the 17th.
And Fowler then repeated the trick on the first hole of sudden death to give him a prize of $1.8m (£1.16m) in the tournament often dubbed as golf's richest event.
The victory came in the week Fowler and England's Ian Poulter were voted the most overrated players by their peers in an anonymous survey conducted by Sports Illustrated but Fowler believes the win answers his critics.
"I laughed at the poll, but I was always looked at as only having one win on tour, and I always felt that I needed to put myself in position to win more often," he added.
"I look at this event as basically like a major. It has the major feel, obviously one of the best fields we play all year, on a tough golf course.
"This will definitely give me momentum going into the US Open (18-21 June) and makes me feel confident about being in this situation and taking care of business."
Fowler, who started his round three shots behind leader Chris Kirk, was one-over after 10 holes and seemingly out of contention.
But he shot four birdies and an eagle in his final six holes and looked on course for victory, but Garcia and Kisner both birdied the 16th and 17th to force a play-off.
World number one Rory McIlroy fired a final-round 69 to finish on eight under, alongside Wales' Jamie Donaldson.
McIlroy, 26, had been chasing back-to-back wins after last week's victory in the WGC Match Play but said his putting cost him any chance of victory.
"I had to shoot something in the mid 60s to give myself a chance," said McIlroy. "I gave myself enough opportunities all week but my putter let me down all week."
Poulter started the day four shots off the lead but shot a two-over 74 to finish down the field.
Former world number one Tiger Woods, 39, had a final round of 72, which left the 14-time major winner on three over par, joint 69th of the 75 players to make the cut.
He has recorded a worse score at Sawgrass, shooting five over par in 2005, the year he won the Masters and the Open at St Andrews.
The British citizen, skiing for her father's nation, Thailand, finished 67th - and last - in the giant slalom.
The 37 year old was originally banned for four years after results in her Olympic qualification were manipulated.
The International Olympic Committee decided not to annul her result after she had the ban overturned last June.
Mae qualified for Sochi through four hastily staged races in Krvavec, Slovenia, just days before the deadline in January 2014.
A Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) panel said "irregularities" occurred in the "organisation and management" of the four races, but there was no direct evidence to implicate Mae in the fixing.
"I was so relieved to have completed both runs at the Winter Olympics, even if it was only to claim last place," said Mae, who was a child prodigy violinist in the late 1980s.
"I'm over the moon that I'm still an Olympian - it's fantastic news and such a positive start to 2016."
Mae, who raced under her father's surname Vanakorn, paid more than £135,000 to successfully appeal to Cas against the ban imposed by the sport's governing body, the International Ski Federation (FIS), with her case heard in March 2015.
She is expected to return to competitive skiing in March this year.
Mae has the long-term ambition of qualifying for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.

The directors, whom she did not name, had urged her to expose herself on screen, offered to buy her clothes and made other suggestive overtures.
"I remember going to audition for a really big male director and being told 'You should show your body off more, you should be naked on screen'," the 41-year-old told an audience in Cannes.
"I've also had the 'What are you doing after this?' conversation [and] the 'Do you want to go shopping and try on some clothes?'. I did not get the parts obviously."
Asked if she considered this to be sexual harassment, the actress answered: "I would consider that Hollywood."
"Was it sexual harassment?" she continued. "I mean, it's such a fine line."
'Double standard'
Sevigny, who was Oscar nominated for 1999 film Boys Don't Cry, also said she had been "frustrated for over 20 years" about the way men and women in the film industry were respectively portrayed by the media.
"[Look at] the award ceremonies and how unfairly the women are judged over the men in their tuxedos.
"When women on set become a little emotional or impassioned even, they're instantly labelled as hysterical or crazy and have a hard time getting hired again."
She said there was a "double standard" that a male film-maker who behaved in a similar fashion would be "embraced" as a "a mad, crazy, wild director".
Sevigny's comments came during the Women in Motion series of talks on women and cinema at the Cannes Film Festival.
The organisation promotes "openness and diversity on the silver screen".
Jodie Foster, Juliette Binoche, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis have taken part in the talks, sharing their experiences of working in the film industry.
The former Thelma and Louise stars were reunited on the 25th anniversary of the cult film, but said the feminist road trip movie would unlikely be made today and expressed disappointment the film didn't pave the way for more films with female stars.
Sarandon pointed to the fact there are "still many more male executives" making casting decisions for the gender imbalance in Hollywood films.
Sevigny will also present Kitty, her directorial debut, at the festival on Thursday.
The Big Love star is one of 12 female "creatives" who have been invited to make short films for the women-focused media company Refinery29.
Others include Twilight star Kristen Stewart and Empire cast member Gabourey Sidibe.

Staff at Gunstones Bakery in Dronfield near Sheffield are taking part in the first of two 48-hour strikes.
Many of the 700-strong workforce at the site on Stubley Lane, Dronfield, are members of the bakers' union.
Gunstones said it was in talks with union representatives and wanted to minimise the impact of the strike.
John Higgins, of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers' Union (BFAWU), said: "We're talking about people on the lower end of the pay scale and yet (the company) want to start negotiating to take away some of the terms and conditions such as shift payments, overtime payments.
"These are the things that actually make it feasible for people to live from January to December."
In a statement Gunstones, which is part of the 2 Sisters Food Group, said: "We are keen to continue meaningful talks with colleagues and their union representatives so that we can reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion.
"We will work with our customers to create contingency plans which will minimise the effects of action."
The gun-battle inside the office lasted for more than an hour, witnesses said.
A cameraman outside the UN Development Programme office told the BBC a suicide bomber blew up a car at its entrance and he saw four gunmen enter.
The al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabab said it was behind the attack.
By Mark DoyleBBC International Development Correspondent
The UN compound in Mogadishu is just a few hundred metres from the airport where thousands of African Union troops are based.
It is in the heart of one of the most sensitive and theoretically well-guarded areas of the city.
But following the audacious attack the gateway into the compound is now a wreck of twisted metal and rubble.
For more than a year now the Somali government - and its Western and African backers - have been lauding improved security in Somalia.
At a diplomatic conference in London in February, hosted by the British Prime Minister David Cameron, there was optimistic talk about the new government which was for the first time elected by a parliament.
It is true that the militant Islamist al-Shabab group has been forced, by African Union troops, to leave most of their military positions in the city.
But this attack shows that opponents of the government still have the capacity to hit a high-profile target which should be one of the best protected locations in the country.
Officials say pro-government forces have now secured the compound.
The UN has only recently expanded its operations in Mogadishu after years when its Somalia mission was based in neighbouring Kenya because of security fears.
This is the first time the UN offices have been attacked since it relaunched its mission in Somalia.
The UN Development Programme office is next to the heavily fortified airport in southern Mogadishu.
"A suicide bomber blew himself up at the gate of the UNDP and then several armed fighters went in and opened fire," a senior police official told the Reuters news agency.
Interior Minister Abdikarim Hussein Guled said at least 15 people had been killed - four foreign security workers, four local guards and seven militants.
Two of the dead worked for South African state weapons firm Denel, the company says.
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office says it is looking into reports that three British nationals are among the dead.
The al-Shabab Twitter feed says it killed 16 UN workers, including three Britons, two Kenyans and a South African during the attack.
A police official told AFP that three civilians also died after being caught in crossfire.
The cameraman, who asked not to be named for security reasons, told the BBC Somali Service that he had personally helped three people to a military ambulance.
Local residents have fled and some buildings were seriously damaged after the vehicle exploded, he said.
As the cameraman was talking to the BBC at about 09:30 GMT, gunshots could be heard in the background.
Q&A: Who are al-Shabab?
He said a number of security experts had joined the African Union (Amisom) and Somali soldiers in tackling the militants.
Just after 10:15 GMT al-Shabab said on its Twitter feed: "We've just contacted the Mujahideen inside the #UNDP and they are still fighting some western mercenaries inside the compound."
Later it said it had killed some foreigners in the raid.
"The situation is under control now... Somali soldiers along with African Union forces stormed the compound and killed the attackers," Somali police official Abdulahi Osman told the AFP news agency.
Amisom described the attacked as "cowardly" and Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon Saaid praised the speed of the security forces' response.
"Somali and Amisom security forces responded immediately to the situation after the initial explosion and have brought the situation under control. Sadly we must wait to hear the full details and confirmation of any casualties," he said in a statement.
"All our thoughts and prayers are with our UN colleagues today. But al-Shabab will not derail the peace process. They will not stop our recovery. Violence will not win."
Earlier a UN official told the Associated Press news agency that during the sustained firing all staff were "moved to the bunkers where it's safe".
Andrew, an aid agency worker staying at a nearby hotel, witnessed some of the fighting.
"When I heard the explosions I went up onto the roof of the Jazeera Hotel," he told the BBC.
"There were six mini-explosions. We saw UN troops on the roof of their compound shooting down at the attackers. An RPG-7 hit the hotel, it hit the side wall on the fifth floor."
Al-Shabab, which had been in control of parts of Mogadishu for more than two years, withdrew in August 2011 under pressure from pro-government forces, but continues to launch occasional suicide attacks in the city.
It has also been pushed out of other cities, but still remains in control of smaller towns and large swathes of the countryside in central and southern Somalia.
The improving security situation has prompted the return of Somalis from the diaspora and allowed UN agencies and foreign embassies to return to the country.
Some 18,000 AU troops are in the country supporting the government of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud who was elected by MPs last September.
His administration is the first one in more than two decades to be recognised by the US and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The figures, which cover 2013, show an increase of almost 7% on the previous year.
And provisional figures for 2014 show the upward trend is continuing.
Beef, lamb and mutton, milk and dairy products are the biggest sectors, accounting for around half of turnover.
It is estimated that industry sales for 2014 will be more than £4,770m.
Around 43% of total sales - £1,941m worth of goods - was sold to Great Britain.
Northern Ireland companies also sold £705m worth of products to the Republic of Ireland.
The statistics are part of the report on the Northern Ireland food and drinks processing sector, published by the Department of Agriculture.
It estimates that in 2013 the food and drink industry contributed around 3.8% of Northern Ireland's total gross value added.
The number of people directly employed in the sector increased by more than 1,000 to 21,354 what are known as full-time employee equivalents in 2013.
At a public health summit in Washington, she hit back after the Trump administration loosened nutritional standards aimed at making US school lunches healthier.
"Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap," she said.
One in five American children is obese, government figures show.
In thinly-veiled criticism of the policies of the new administration, Mrs Obama told the audience: "This is where you really have to look at motives, you know.
"You have to stop and think, why don't you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you? And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on?"
She added: "Take me out of the equation - like me or don't like me. But think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.
"Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly and be okay with that? Because here's the secret: If someone is doing that, they don't care about your kid."
While in the White House, Mrs Obama championed the "Let's Move" campaign, which encourages exercise and healthy eating among young people.
The 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act made federal grants for school meals conditional on reductions in calories, sodium and trans fat content and increases in fruit, vegetables and whole grains.
However, earlier this month, US Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue postponed reductions in sodium, relaxed requirements for whole grains and allowed sweetened flavoured milk back.
He said some aspects of the standards had "gone too far".
The agriculture department said the change would give schools "greater flexibility".
There were warnings the Trade Union Bill - which passed its first Commons test despite Labour opposition on Monday - was a "declaration of war".
The government says the changes would protect the public from disruptive action, and had most people's backing.
Unions agreed to oppose the legislation "every inch of the way".
They also backed rail union RMT's motion for the TUC to consider "assisting in organising generalised strike action" in the event of legal action under the new bill being taken against trade unions.
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady, speaking at the TUC conference in Brighton, warned delegates that she had reservations about the phrase "generalised strike action", saying it was open to "ambiguous interpretation".
Nonetheless, she described the government's proposals as "the most draconian, the most ideological, the most right-wing assault on organised labour in any advanced industrial democracy in living memory".
Downing Street responded to the TUC vote by saying the reforms the government was seeking were to ensure the right balance between unions and those people who are affected by strikes.
MPs backed the Trade Union Bill, which proposes higher voting thresholds for ballots, by 33 votes at second reading.
During that debate Business Secretary Sajid Javid said the bill was "not a declaration of war" against unions but necessary to stop "endless" threats of industrial action, while Labour said the bill was "draconian and counter-productive".
The second reading in the Commons is the key test of whether legislation is likely to get through a vote of MPs - but the bill now has to go through a lengthy stage of line-by-line scrutiny in committee and also needs to be passed by the House of Lords before getting its final Commons approval.
The government wants to impose a minimum 50% turnout in strike ballots - with public sector strikes also requiring the backing of at least 40% of those eligible to vote.
Under current rules, strikes can be called if the majority of those taking part in a ballot vote in favour.
The bill, which would apply to unions in England, Wales and Scotland, will also:
The Lloyd George Museum in Llanystumdwy will get £27,000 a year over three years from 2017/18.
It is the same amount Gwynedd council will cut from the venue's funding which put its future at risk.
Dion Hamer, from the museum, said the funding was "great news".
The museum was established in 1947, two years after David Lloyd George died. His second wife, Frances, left some land in the village to build a permanent memorial to her husband.
The museum launched a £250,000 centenary appeal earlier this year.
Two men were shot in the legs during attacks on Sandy Street and Armagh Road in the city on 17 September.
Police searched a house at Churchill Park in Portadown on Tuesday night and arrested two men aged 34 and 20.
The 34-year-old is being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder, as well as the possession of firearms and class A drugs.
The 20-year-old was arrested for possession of firearms in suspicious circumstances and possession of class A drugs.
Three guns and a quantity of suspected drugs were seized during the search.
Last month, a 26-year-old man was charged with two counts of attempted murder, kidnapping and possession of a firearm with intent over the two shootings in Newry.
In the first incident, a man called at a house in Sandys Street and, after an argument, shot the occupant in the leg.
A short time later, another man, was taken from a house at Ardfield Avenue, Warrenpoint, by four masked men and driven to the Armagh Road in Newry, where he was also shot in leg.
Sterling was used as a substitute in the Euro 2016 Group E qualifier after telling boss Roy Hodgson he was tired.
Ferdinand said more English players should follow the 19-year-old's lead as it would benefit the national team.
He said on Twitter: "Fair play to him. English players are normally too proud to do that unlike our foreign friends."
Sterling came on as a 64th-minute substitute in Tallinn and was fouled for the free-kick that captain Wayne Rooney scored from.
The teenager, who has played 1,079 minutes of football this season, responded to criticisms from fans by tweeting: "Excuse me for being human. On my way home."
Last month Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers had promised to protect the teenager in a bid to avoid the experiences of Michael Owen, whose career stuttered from his mid-twenties onwards because of injury.
Like Owen, who made the England 1998 World Cup squad aged 18, Sterling has become a key player for both his club and country at a young age.
Ferdinand said he and other England players, like Rooney and Steven Gerrard, would have benefited from more rest and pointed to his former Manchester United team-mate Carolos Tevez, who would not take part in training when tired.
The former defender added on Twitter: "Tevez would come in some days and sit on the massage bed while the team trained. "I'm tired"... match day - firing and energised.
"With more rest at the right times throughout seasons, Rooney would have gone into tournaments for England fresher 100%. Too proud again.
"Same could be said of Gerrard, [Frank] Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole myself etc - all too proud to sit out of training or a match with the bigger picture in mind.
"Going by many of the responses on here - because players earn a fortune they cannot get tired. Leave off!"
Former England rugby union captain Will Carling also sympathised with Sterling.
"Always amazed how simplistic some people are," Carling tweeted. "Professional sportspeople can never get tired/ lose form. They get paid! They're still human!!
"I am not just talking footy. Sometimes the adrenaline is just not there. The extra edge. Down to opposition, or fatigue."
The median income per secondary pupil in academies for 2015-16 was £5,714, down from £6,340 in 2011-12, not taking into account inflation.
Head teachers have been campaigning about funding shortages.
But last week Education Secretary Justine Greening promised to reallocate £1.3bn more for school budgets.
The figures from the Department for Education show a £280m shortfall between total income and expenditure in academies in 2015-16.
This represents a gap of 1.5%, compared with 1% in the previous year.
About six in 10 multi-academy trusts spent more than their income - and just under half of standalone academies had an income shortfall.
But the Department for Education says this "deficit does not mean that these academies or trusts are in debt, as they may have reserve funds through which these costs were met".
The figures also show that the proportion of income spent by academies on teaching is lower than in 2011-12, while the proportion of spending on "back office" costs has risen.
But the Department for Education cautions against direct comparisons, because the number of academies has changed across these years.
And the department claims that academies could have collective reserves worth more than £2bn.
Median per-pupil funding is presented as a more reliable measure over time.
Most secondary schools are now academies - and the official figures show that at secondary school level income has fallen in cash terms - down by £626 per pupil.
But in primary schools, income has risen by £78 per pupil over the four years, without any adjustment for inflation.
The figures follow an announcement last week by the education secretary that school budgets would be protected in real terms, with £1.3bn more being put into school budgets over the next two years.
This will not be new money, but will be taken from other budgets, including spending on free schools, school improvement support and "healthy pupils" capital funding.
Ms Greening has promised that no school will lose out in cash terms from a new funding formula to be announced in the autumn.
The reallocation of funding to frontline school budgets will prevent cuts in average budgets for two years.
But the Institute for Fiscal Studies says that between 2015 and 2020 school budgets will have declined in real terms by 4.6%
Rosamund McNeil, from the National Union of Teachers, said the latest funding figures showed "the growing financial crisis affecting all schools - academies as well as maintained".
She said she was concerned that "academies' expenditure on teaching staff has fallen" and that it showed "academy status is no security against financial austerity".
But a Department for Education spokesman said the new figures showed the efficiency of the academy system and how it was open to financial scrutiny.
"The transparency we have introduced to school budgets allows parents, teachers and the wider public to ensure that money is being used to deliver the best outcomes for their pupils," he said.
"Figures like these, coupled with the introduction of our National Funding Formula, will give us even greater oversight of how much money is going into schools and how it is being spent."
The news agency's account was suspended and it advised all tweets should be ignored until further notice.
The false message said: "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured."
US markets were spooked by the tweet; the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 150 points as it was retweeted.
On Tuesday evening, the FBI said it was investigating the incident.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters soon after the tweet was published that President Obama was fine, and financial markets quickly recovered the lost ground.
AP said later: "The @AP twitter account has been hacked. The tweet about an attack at the White House is false."
The account was back online on Wednesday.
The agency said the attack came after repeated attempts by hackers to steal the passwords of AP journalists, adding that it was working to correct the issue.
Spokesman Paul Colford said the wire service had disabled other Twitter accounts following the attack and was working with the microblogging site to investigate the breach.
AP reporter Mike Baker tweeted: "The @AP hack came less than an hour after some of us received an impressively disguised phishing email."
The phishing email in question appeared to come from the email account of another AP staffer, with a request to click a link to a "very important" article on the Washington Post website.
The link opened a bogus login page requesting users enter their staff ID and password, reports suggest.
A group claiming to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad took responsibility for the attacks, tweeting: "Ops! @AP get owned by Syrian Electronic Army! #SEA #Syria #ByeByeObama."
The Syrian Electronic Army claims to have been behind similar attacks on the twitter feeds of Agence France Presse news agency, Sky News Arabia, al-Jazeera mobile and CBS News.
Two of the US broadcaster's accounts were suspended after fake messages appearing on the @60Minutes account criticised US support for "terrorist" rebels in Syria.
On Tuesday evening, Twitter said it was investigating the incident and reminded users to be "extra vigilant" about phishing emails.

Referee Jon Moss had already sent off Leicester goalscorer Jamie Vardy for diving and awarded the Hammers a contentious penalty when he pointed to the spot after minimal contact between Andy Carroll and Jeff Schlupp in the closing seconds.
After a 2-2 draw that leaves the Foxes eight points clear before second-placed Tottenham's game at Stoke on Monday, Bilic said: "We feel frustrated and very disappointed because the game didn't deserve what happened at the end. It puts a shadow over one hell of a football game.
"I'm not eagle-eyed, an ex-referee or Howard Webb. It was hard for the referee. You have 32,000 people here screaming for a penalty for every contact in the box and for every long ball into the box. For a home side it's a penalty or handball and in the other it's a cheat or a dive."
He added: "The game went a bit crazy and they were were losing so it was very hard for him. It is easy to say refs shouldn't be influenced but this is real life - of course it's not a penalty. If you see their penalty you see a dive.
"It was a good game. Goals, penalties, red card, tackles, crosses. We are gutted - we did enough to win the game until the last five seconds."
Of Leicester captain Wes Morgan being penalised for pushing Winston Reid in the area, Bilic said: "That's the way Leicester's centre halves [Morgan and Robert Huth] play and they get away with this all the time.
"Leicester are dangerous from our set pieces. We told our guys before the game but every manager will have said the same thing and they still broke and scored their first goal, so great credit to them."

Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri refused to discuss the referee's performance but praised his players for the manner in which they recovered from conceding goals to Carroll and Aaron Cresswell in the last 10 minutes to get a point.
He said: "It was a tough match. The sending-off changed the match but I am so proud. I always ask my players to give me their soul and their heart until the end and our supporters were also fantastic.
"I never speak about the referee. The referee is part of the game and that's OK for me. I want to speak about my players and we when we conceded the second goal we wanted to draw. It was unbelievable, fantastic, amazing."
Ranieri was relaxed mod about losing two points, despite the fact that leading scorer Vardy will be missing for next weekend's home game against Swansea.
"We are not worried," said Ranieri. "We were worried at the start of the season about reaching 40 points. If a side is better than us then well done because we are doing the maximum.
"Psychologically the last goal is fantastic. It is more important than the point psychologically. It shows we are there."
And on Vardy's absence he said: "Ulloa will come in and he is not just a fantastic man, he is a good striker, a good player."
Two men were found in the street and another in a back garden on Goldthorn Hill in Goldthorn Park at about midnight.
A member of the public flagged down a police car and the men, aged 27,31 and 36, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The road has been cordoned off while police investigate.
Sgt Carl Russell said: "Several people have told us that a car was seen to speed away from the scene shortly after the attack.
"We are appealing to anyone who may have seen this car to come forward with information.
"The injured men are in a serious condition and continue to be treated in hospital."
The 33-year-old, who was captain for six years, says it is "time for someone else to take the ODI side forward".
He missed South Africa's Test series defeat in England because he "needed a bit of time away from the game".
But De Villiers, speaking on Facebook, said he feels "refreshed and revived".
De Villiers, who has more than 8,000 Test runs at an average of 50.46, has not played a Test since January 2016.
He played for the Proteas in the T20 series against England last month and captained the ODI side in the Champions Trophy, where they failed to reach the semi-finals.
In a statement he defended accusations he has been "picking and choosing when to play".
"Over the past year or so, I have tried to manage many commitments, " he said. "I have felt mentally and physically tired; my wife and I are bringing up two fantastic kids and playing in all three formats ever since 2004 has taken its toll.
"Together with Cricket South Africa, we have tried to develop a viable schedule which allows me to prolong my career for as long as possible."
He added: "This strategy has prompted some people to say I am picking and choosing when to play for the Proteas, and even to suggest I am somehow putting myself before the team.
"That is simply not true. That has never been true. Playing for South Africa is, and will always be, the greatest privilege of my life. "
South Africa host Bangladesh in two Tests, starting on 28 September, while India and Australia will tour in early 2018.

Dywedodd Manon Steffan Ros ar Twitter: "Tony Bianchi. Athrylith mentrus, ffraeth, addfwyn a charedig. Diolch amdano fo a'r geiria' mae o wedi gadael ar ei ôl."
Yn ôl Aneirin Karadog, roedd gan Tony Bianchi "cymaint mwy i'w roi" a'i fod yn "(g)olled enfawr i fyd llên Cymru".
Cafwyd sawl cyfeiriad hefyd at ei wreiddiau yng ngogledd ddwyrain Lloegr. Fe ddisgrifiodd Seimon Brooks ef fel "Cymro da, Geordie da" a'i fod yn " (d)dyn hyfryd a diwylliedig, gwâr a gwybodus".
Roedd Tony Bianchi yn un o feirniaid Gwobr Goffa Daniel Owen fydd yn cael ei chyhoeddi yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Ynys Môn fis Awst eleni.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol fod "marwolaeth Tony Bianchi yn golled fawr i lenyddiaeth".
"Roedd Tony Bianchi'n gefnogwr brwd o'r Eisteddfod, yn enillydd rheolaidd a phoblogaidd ac yn feirniad teg a bonheddig.

"Roedd yn bleser delio gyda Tony bob amser a bydd colled fawr ar ei ôl yn yr Eisteddfod ac ar draws Cymru."
The collision, believed to involve two lorries and a car, happened at the Marykirk turnoff.
The car was said to be on fire.
There were no details of any injuries. Southbound traffic was being diverted.
Worst affected is the province of Quang Binh, where at least 11 people have been killed, crops destroyed and livestock washed away.
The floods have been caused by torrential rain, but local media say sudden discharges from hydropower reservoirs worsened the flooding.
Typhoon Sarika could bring more bad weather if it strikes Vietnam.
On Sunday the storm passed the main Philippine island of Luzon and headed into the South China Sea.
Several thousand Filipinos had evacuated ahead of the typhoon, and property damage, downed power lines and fallen trees were reported.
Typhoon Sarika could hit northern Vietnam early next week, according to the country's weather bureau.
So far the flooding has affected tens of thousands of people across four central provinces. Images show houses with only their roofs above water.
Local media say more than 70,000 houses have flood damage in Quang Binh and almost 25,000 in Ha Tinh province.
Rice fields and other agricultural land have been inundated, local media report, and the main north-south rail link is affected.
In Quang Binh, questions were being asked over the release of water by hydropower plants.
VnExpress quoted a provincial official as saying that discharges had caused water levels to rise fast.
"The dam operators should have informed locals properly in advance," he was quoted as saying.
Members of Unison and GMB have backed industrial action in protest at a 1% pay offer.
Police community support officers (PCSOs) and fingerprint experts are among those who voted for the action.
The unions want a 3% increase in wages and complain about staff facing a pay freeze or below inflation rises for the past three years.
Unison members voted by around 60% in favour of strikes.
Other police staff members balloted included 999 call handlers and custody and detention officers.
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: "These results send a clear message that after two years of pay freeze and last year's below inflation pay rise, police staff have had enough and that they are now ready to take industrial action over pay.
"We are calling on the police employers to return to the negotiating table to improve the current pay offer."
The union's police sector committee is set to meet to consider the ballot results, and discuss the next move.
Members of the GMB union also voted in favour of strikes, and national officer Sharon Holder said: "Following the conclusion of the ballots, unions will now meet and announce the planned industrial action."
The calls played a recorded message that urged people to back his campaign to be Labour's candidate.
Information Commissioner Christopher Graham said the same rules apply to canvassing for votes as apply "to offering a discount on double glazing".
People getting Mr Lammy's calls had not given permission to receive such calls.
This meant, according to the Information Commissioner's Office investigation, Mr Lammy had broken the rules set out in the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations.
Mr Graham said: "If you want to call someone in this way, you must follow these rules. Mr Lammy did not, and that is why he has been fined.
"It's not good enough to assume the people you're contacting probably won't mind. The law requires you to have permission before making calls with recorded messages. And if the law isn't followed, the regulator will act."
The calls were made in August 2015 using contact details of party members provided by the Labour Party. Mr Lammy did not make the additional checks necessary to ensure he was able to contact the people with recorded messages, the watchdog said.
Mr Graham said: "Mr Lammy's team should have known there were special controls in place around calls with recorded massages. Not only have we published detailed guidance on political campaigning on our website, but we have contacted political parties directly to remind them of the rules."
Mr Lammy came fourth in the contest last year to become Labour's candidate in the forthcoming London mayoral elections with 9.4% of first preferences.
Somerset County Council is conducting two consultations as part of efforts to balance its budget for next year.
Cabinet member, David Fothergill said: "We currently subsidise 75 services and there are 25 of them we're looking at."
Protesters said the move would increase rural isolation and price some people out of using community buses.
The cuts would hit some weekend routes and services between most towns in Somerset, including Yeovil, Langport and Taunton.
Mr Fothergill added: "They're the ones with low usage or there's alternative means we can provide or it's just not economical to run them any more."
Tracey Harding, co-founder of the Frome and Villages Buses Action Group, which campaigns for better public bus services, said: "Frome has already lost three of its Saturday services in the last round of cuts made by First Bus.
"To have more cuts would be devastating."
The proposals would also halve the 50% concession bus pass holders receive on community transport to 25%.
Community bus Wiveylink is run by the Wiveliscombe Area Partnership.
Pauline Homeshaw from the group said: "We're addressing rural isolation which so many people who use Wiveylink are absolutely suffering from already and Wiveylink has rescued them from that isolated state.
The council said the consultations would run until January, with a final decision taken later.
The Cobblers moved five points clear after Saturday's 2-0 win over York City - their eleventh victory in 12 games.
Two years ago, Town were six points adrift at the bottom of the division, before securing survival by beating Oxford in the final game of the season.
"Results show where we were and where we are now, so it's a big change," Wilder told BBC Radio Northampton.
"We're all enjoying the position that we're in, we didn't enjoy the position that we found ourselves in two years ago."
Wilder's side settled for a mid-table finish in his first full season in charge last term, but they are now 14 points above fourth-placed Bristol Rovers with 18 games to play.
"Sometimes you have a few dips along the way but that's how it is, that's generally what football clubs have to get on with," he added.
"Of course you have the odd game and you have the odd moan and groan behind you, and that sometimes rattles you a little bit.
"We look at a longer-term view and we've done extremely well, and we want to make sure we finish the job off."
Mountsorrel Railway was originally an industrial steam line used for transporting granite from quarries surrounding the Leicestershire village.
It fell out of use in the 1950s and the track was lifted in the 1960s.
It has reopened as a heritage railway for passengers, and is an extra branch line for the Great Central Railway.
Mountsorrel Railway project leader Steve Cramp came up with the idea after doing some research into local history.
He discovered the quarry used to run Sunday outings for local children, who were allowed to ride in the open wagons.
"We got into this through a desire to be able to do historical recreations and it grew from there," he said.
"It's very special because it has been restored by community volunteers.
"Rather than a group of enthusiasts employing contractors to restore the railway it's been undertaken entirely by the community volunteers."
Hundreds of passengers rode trains throughout Saturday and Sunday as part of the opening weekend.
Other people who want to try the railway will have to wait until next year, when it is is expected to open fully around Easter time.
A railway station has been built as part of the restoration, and work to build a community heritage centre is under way.
It comes after the 22-year-old accused the governing body of abandoning him after he had hip surgery last year.
Tomic, ranked 26th, was critical of former world number one Pat Rafter, Tennis Australia's director of player performance.
"His behaviour was unacceptable," said Tennis Australia president Steve Healy.
Tomic, who was knocked out of Wimbledon in the third round by Novak Djokovic on Friday, accused the Australian tennis authorities of penny-pinching, saying he was charged for practising at the Pat Rafter Arena in Brisbane, adding that things changed after his surgery.
"I didn't get one phone call from Tennis Australia, Can we help you, Bernard? Can we do this? Do you need something? You know, Can we give you something?" he said.
"What's going on? Where is the support? How can you do this? It's not about the money. It's about the respect."
Healy added: "Playing for our country is an absolute privilege, and with that privilege comes an obligation to behave appropriately. He didn't.
"The allegations are misinformed and untrue and he publicly derided some outstanding people. We are trying to build a strong culture underpinned by a philosophy of opportunity, not entitlement. This stuff is just not on."
Rafter had said that he would end funding for players in their 20s and that Tomic's sister Sara, 17, would also have her funding cut off because of the uncooperative attitude of their controversial father John.
In 2013, Tomic Sr was sentenced to eight months in prison for assaulting his son's training partner before a tournament.
Owners of large air-vented dryers and condensing dryers under the Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda brands may need to have them fixed.
Parent company Whirlpool said eight million affected dryers had been sold in the last 11 years, including five million in the UK.
So far, 70,000 cases had been resolved.
Other customers are facing a long wait for a visit. Some have reported an eight-week waiting list.
"Given the large number of dryers affected, we currently have a wait time of many weeks before the repair service can be completed," the company, which has 1,000 engineers, said.
"This is not up to our high standard of service and we are working to address it."
More than three million people are being written to about the safety notice, with 1.8 million expected to receive letters in the next two to three weeks.
Whirlpool bought manufacturer Indesit, including the Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda brands, in October 2014.
Investigations into reports of fires led eventually to the huge programme of alerts and repairs announced in November.
The company is asking owners to check whether their machine is one of those affected and, if so, to contact the company through Hotpoint's dedicated website or the matching Indesit site. The model number, usually found on the back of the dryer door, can be entered in the online checker.
If action is needed, an engineer will visit to mend the machine - a process that the company said could take an hour.
The company has written to 1.5 million customers so far, and expects to contact a further 1.8 million by the start of February.
The company said a substantial number of the millions of dryers sold over the last 11 years would have been replaced or scrapped.
So far, more than 625,000 customers have registered for a repair, the company said.
With many facing a lengthy wait, the company said it was offering discounts on new products for those whose appliance was more than two years old.
While waiting for a repair, owners are being advised not to use their dryer when they are out of the house or asleep, and to clean the filter after every cycle.
Earlier this month, charity Electrical Safety First urged shoppers to register their electrical products with the manufacturer in order to receive details of any recalls.
It said faulty appliances, in general, caused £41.6m of damage in the UK every year and 46 deaths were caused each year by electrical fires.
Since 2011 there have been more than 300 different recalled electrical items, and the charity said that the success rate for recalling items in the UK was rarely higher than 10% to 20%.
"We know electrical products are high on shopping lists this sale season so we are urging the public to keep their families and homes safe by making a habit of registering a new product as soon as they get it home," said Emma Apter, of Electrical Safety First.
"People may think it's too much hassle or there is no benefit of providing contact details but an unregistered appliance can be a hidden danger in homes as it's difficult for manufacturers to trace them."
Freedom of information figures from 34 of 43 police forces showed 1,002 people arrested for begging in 2014 - of whom 199 were legally defined as homeless.
Big Issue founder John Bird said people with chaotic lives need more support.
"It's easy to get people out of the streets. But it's not easy to get the streets out of people," said Mr Bird.
Mr Bird said finding accommodation was often only part of the problem for former rough sleepers, and was critical of many official attempts to tackle the issue.
The legal definition of homelessness, used by the police, says someone is homeless if they have no accommodation they are entitled to occupy - or if the standard of their accommodation is so bad they cannot reasonably be expected to occupy it.
Jon Sparkes, chief executive of the charity Crisis, told the programme the statistics risked exacerbating the problem for the people in most need of help.
"Clearly there are different groups - some people, it may be organised; some people, they may have some kind of addiction.
"Some people might be not homeless but living in real poverty - and of course then there are people who are homeless as well."
He said the figures could give the people in real need "a bad name in the eyes of the public - and they are then less likely to get that lifeline, that moment of kindness that they really need".
The highest numbers of arrests last year were made by police in Merseyside and the West Midlands.
Robbie, who is homeless and has lived on Liverpool's streets on and off for 10 years, spends most nights in a hostel but says sleeping rough can be a way of making money without actually begging.
"You can't get arrested if you just lie on the street doorway and people walk past and feel sorry for you and give you money. But if you don't ask the person for money, you can't get arrested."
A Home Office spokeswoman said the government had given police and local authorities "a range of new and flexible powers to tackle anti-social behaviour, including begging, which is a criminal offence."
Since 2010 the government has made over £500m available to local authorities and voluntary groups to prevent and tackle homelessness, the spokeswoman added.
"Our £20m Homelessness Transition Fund has supported the roll-out of No Second Night Out across England, ensuring more rough sleepers are found and helped quickly so that they do not spend more than one night on the street."
Particularly when there's $100 up for grabs.
Let's let Open champion and European stalwart Henrik Stenson, who was partnering Justin Rose in a practice match, take up the story...
"We played a match against Andy Sullivan and Rory McIlroy and they had a putt and Andy didn't make it, and they tried again to get the right line.
"Someone in the crowd yelled 'I could have made that', so we let him have a go."
"Justin Rose put $100 down and the guy drilled it in the centre.
"He would have been chipping if it didn't go in, but all credit to him for making it."
Rose added: "I thought [the money] might make it a bit more real for him, but clearly not. The boys were cupping out, missing it low and this guy just ripped it into the middle. Fair play to him and he celebrated in style.
"It's fun," laughed Rose. "We are doing what we should be doing out here, having fun. We are preparing, we are focusing, but you have to enjoy it."
So who was the heckler-turned-hero?
It was David Johnson, from North Dakota, who later admitted: "I closed my eyes, hit the putt and it happened to go in."
UKIP wants full "maritime sovereignty" and Parliamentary supremacy over laws, no "divorce bill" nor payments to the EU budget after the UK's withdrawal.
Party leader Paul Nuttall said UKIP would act as the "guard dog" of Brexit.
The prime minister will invoke Article 50 on Wednesday.
This will trigger a two-year process in which the UK and the remaining 27 EU nations will seek to agree the terms of the UK's exit as well as the outline of the UK's future relationship with the union.
In a speech on Monday, Mr Nuttall said that the UK's exit - set in motion by last year's Leave referendum vote - must be "done and dusted" by the end of 2019.
As it stands, the UK is on course to leave the EU on 29 March 2019, unless both sides agree to extend talks. But Brexit supporters have also spoken for the need for a completely "clean break", arguing there can be no transitional arrangements nor payments to maintain access to the single market afterwards.
Mr Nuttall set out six key objectives that he says any acceptable final agreement must be judged against:
"While we will be willing Mrs May to succeed in agreeing to a full Brexit on our terms, we want her to keep faith with the will of the British people as expressed in the referendum result," he said.
"We will also be letting her know that the political price she will pay for backsliding or watering down the ambitions will be very high indeed. I have described this role as akin to being the guard dog of Brexit."
UKIP has suggested fishing will be one of the early tests of how hard a bargain Mrs May is prepared to drive.
It has warned the government against adopting any aspects of Common Fisheries Policy into UK law as part of its proposed Great Repeal Bill. This legislation will transfer existing EU laws applying to the UK onto the statute book before Parliament decides later which to keep and which to jettison.
Vessels from other EU nations, UKIP argues, should not have any form of "backdoor" access to UK territorial waters, with domestic fleets having sole entry to a 200 mile "exclusive economic zone".
EU officials have suggested the UK could have to pay up to £50bn to retain privileged access to the single market and to settle existing budget liabilities although a recent House of Lords committee report argued the UK would not be lawfully obliged to pay a penny.
UKIP will have little sway in Parliament when a vote is held on the final settlement as its only MP - Douglas Carswell - quit over the weekend and said he plans to serve as an independent. The party only has a handful of peers in the House of Lords.
However, UKIP has 20 MEPs in the European Parliament, which also has to give its consent to the terms of the UK's exit.
Labour set out its own six tests on Monday, including no dilution of the benefits the UK currently gets through the single market and customs union. It also warned against rushing the negotiations.
Joshua Bwalya, 16, was found dead when officers were called to Movers Lane, Barking on Wednesday.
Det Ch Insp Gary Holmes said the attack was "a senseless act of violence" that "was not only cowardly, but brutal".
A man aged 18, and another male, whose age is currently unknown, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Both remain in custody at an east London police station.
A boy, 16, and a man, 20, were also injured during the attack.
Both were taken to different hospitals in the capital before they were arrested on suspicion of murder, police said.
They were later released without further action.
A post-mortem examination of Joshua's body found multiple stab wounds were the cause of death.
Captain Jamaal Lascelles headed the Magpies in front from Matt Ritchie's free-kick before Yoan Gouffran hit the bar with a 25-yard shot.
Anthony Knockaert struck the woodwork for the visitors but they were reduced to 10 men when Sam Baldock was sent off for two yellow cards.
Jonjo Shelvey then curled in a free-kick to wrap up a comfortable win.
Newcastle began the season with back-to-back defeats by Fulham and leaders Huddersfield, but victories over Reading, Bristol City and now Brighton have seen them go into the international break fourth in the table.
Lascelles' free header from 15 yards gave them the perfect start and they created several other clear chances as Ritchie saw a shot saved by David Stockdale, while Gouffran also hit a half-volley over the bar.
Glenn Murray had a volley blocked by Lascelles and Knockaert hit the bar with a shot from 10 yards as the visitors started the second half brightly.
But once Baldock was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on home keeper Matz Sels the result was never in doubt.
Shelvey's free-kick doubled the lead and, although Sels produced a fine late save to deny Beram Kayal, Newcastle comfortably completed a first win over Brighton since 1990.
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez:
"It was important to win against a team going well with players and a manager who has experience in this division.
"We got a lot of the things we were looking for today but there is still room for improvement.
"The team has been working very hard. But when you want change and improvement, it takes time.
"It is good to have another win before the international break, and it would be good to carry it on, but we have a rest now."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton:
"I thought it (the sending-off) was harsh. If you watch the second challenge, the keeper kicks Sam. He is not that sort of player.
"Newcastle were very efficient but it feels like a missed opportunity. They scored from two set pieces and although they hit the bar, we had the better chances.
"We are disappointed because we felt we had a good chance today and we didn't pose as much of a threat as we should have."

The community-led Stove Network wants to see more buildings brought under local control and create new housing and services on the High Street.
Nearly 500 people have backed their vision of a Midsteeple Quarter in the heart of the town.
It follows an online survey which asked the public for its views on how to improve the area.
Melissa Gunn, of the University of the West of Scotland, who are members of the community partnership leading the project, said they had been "overwhelmed" by the response.
"Online surveys often bring out more negative responses, but here the opposite was true," she said.
"We were particularly surprised by 40% of people saying they themselves would be keen to live in the town centre."
The survey found backing for a "populated town centre" in order to make the area more vibrant.
There was also "strong support" for a mix of accommodation from affordable tenancies to student accommodation and private flats available in the upper floors above shops.
Matt Baker of The Stove Network said: "Everyone in the team is just delighted by the progress to date - this feels like a very different approach for the town with a diverse mix of local people and groups leading the project.
"Everyone is bringing their own expertise and experience and being respectful of what others have to contribute.
"We have had excellent support from right across the council - this really could be the beginning of the long-hoped-for turnaround in the fortunes of Dumfries town centre."
The incident which occurred five years ago involved firefighter Edric Kennedy-Macfoy.
The BBC has learned no evidence was offered against the officers involved.
The IPCC has apologised to Mr Kennedy-Macfoy for what it called "procedural shortfalls" in its investigation.
It added it would be carrying out an "in depth review" to ensure its procedures were strengthened.
In a statement the IPCC said: "We recognise the effect this will have had on both Mr Kennedy-Macfoy and the officers involved, and would like to take this opportunity to apologise to them."
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy had originally complained about the behaviour of six police officers.
The IPCC found several problems with the investigation into the case including the fact that witness interviews that should have been carried out at the time of Mr Kennedy-Macfoy's complaint had not been completed.
Last year, Scotland Yard apologised and paid him compensation to settle a civil claim he brought against the force.
On Wednesday the Met said: "We fully recognise that the misconduct hearing not going ahead is damaging for the complainant and for the public who need to have confidence in the way officers are held to account for their actions".
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy said he felt the last five years of his life had been "stolen" from him.
"These proceedings have been withdrawn before I was given the chance to give evidence before the tribunal and I will forever feel that I have been denied justice," he said.
"I am deeply troubled by the institutional obstacles I have encountered to address and confront why this ever happened."
One of the officers allegedly involved, Mark Gatland who was suspended by the Met to prevent him leaving the force pending the misconduct hearing, was allowed to take a second job as a train driver.
Lawyers for PC Gatland said the damage to his "health and well-being" as a result of the long-running case was "impossible to quantify".
The incident occurred in September 2011 - one month after the London riots - during a disturbance with police at Harrow in north London.
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy said he had offered to help - but was charged with obstructing police and resisting arrest.
He was cleared at Brent Magistrates Court in February 2012.
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy went on to make a formal complaint about his treatment.
He claimed he'd been targeted by police because he was black, alleging he was shot with a Taser stun gun, assaulted and verbally abused.
An investigation into the conduct of six officers was launched by Scotland Yard's Directorate of Professional Standards under the supervision of the IPCC.
In March 2013 the watchdog decided to take over the case itself and conduct an independent investigation which it said at the time would be carried out "as quickly as possible".
In January 2014, one of the policeman allegedly involved retired from the Met.
A hearing was due to start last week for three of the others but became delayed in legal arguments believed to relate to the non-disclosure of crucial documents by the IPCC.
On Wednesday, the IPCC withdrew from the case, and the Metropolitan Police, which formally brought the disciplinary proceedings, offered no evidence leading to the three officers being formally cleared of the charges.
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy's lawyer, Shamik Dutta, said he would be seeking a "full public apology from the IPCC" which he said had "failed in its duty to investigate the case properly".
Lawyers for Mr Gatland said: "The damage caused to the officer's health and well-being as well as to his family is impossible to quantify at this time. The damage to the public perception of policing in this matter being falsely portrayed as a racist event is scandalous."
The move will affect students applying for courses starting in autumn 2017.
The tests will be tailored to each subject and will be taken before or at interviews, said Dr Sam Lucy in a letter to UK schools and colleges.
The aim is to maintain fairness during qualification reform, said Dr Lucy.
The first tests will be sat by applicants in November this year, says the letter.
This is when a major overhaul of England's exams system will mean sixth-formers have sat the first batch of new GCSEs and will be taking new A-level courses in some subjects.
Cambridge University has been outspoken about government plans to separate AS-levels from A-levels to form a stand-alone qualification.
It says AS-levels are the best predictor of how well a student will perform in every subject except maths.
In November 2014, it wrote to schools and colleges urging them to continue to offer AS-levels - but while some schools and colleges have opted to keep AS-levels and teach them alongside A-levels, others have decided to drop them and to focus instead on A-levels.
In the letter Dr Lucy said the new tests would provide "valuable additional evidence of our applicants' academic abilities, knowledge base and potential to succeed in the Cambridge course for which they have applied".
"This move is a result of responding to teacher and student feedback, a desire to harmonise and simplify our existing use of written assessments and a need to develop new ways to maintain the effectiveness and fairness of our admissions system during ongoing qualification reform," Dr Lucy said.
The letter says no advance preparation will be needed, "other than revision of relevant recent subject knowledge where appropriate".
Most at-interview assessments will be an hour long and most pre-interview assessments will be no longer than two hours.
Cambridge says it will schedule its pre-interview tests to coincide with Oxford's to make them easier for schools and colleges to administer.
The at-interview assessments will take place during the December interview period, usually on the same day as the interviews.
A university spokesman said the new tests would complement existing assessment measures which include a supplementary application questionnaire, examples of written work, teacher references and academic interviews.
The changes to AS-levels would mean the loss of "a key piece of evidence in the mix", which the tests are designed to replace, said the spokesman.
"We are looking at how people think [...] We will see how people are at interview but also how they are in a written assessment."
The spokesman said the new tests would be university-wide and would replace tests run in some subjects by individual colleges.
They are not a return to entrance exams, abolished in the 1980s, which students had to pass before being invited for interview, said the spokesman.
The @UKAgainstISIL account will provide "updates on the UK government's ongoing work to defeat Isil".
Four posts have been made since it was set up on Thursday, including a video explaining the role the UK is playing in the struggle to defeat the group.
The footage says Britain is "militarily removing territory from Isil" and "cutting off Isil finances".
Islamic State - which is also known as Isil - often uses social media to spread its views.
A US study earlier this year claimed there were at least 46,000 Twitter accounts operating on behalf of IS.
British forces have been carrying out airstrikes against IS militants in Iraq, but no action in Syria has been approved by MPs.
There is speculation that Prime Minister David Cameron will push for a vote to extend the UK's involvement when Parliament returns from its summer break.

Macy's net income for the period between August and October was $118m (£77m), down from $217m in the same period last year.
Shares in the company fell 14% following the news.
In a statement, Macy's chief executive Terry Lundgren said the company was "disappointed" that the pace of sales did not improve as much as expected.
Sales were hurt in part by the warm weather, which made it harder to sell winter clothing, and a strong dollar, which hurt tourist spending.
"Heading into the fourth quarter, we are shifting our organisation into overdrive to focus on sales-driving activities in the holiday shopping season," said Mr Lundgren.
The company now sees full-year earnings coming in at $4.20 to $4.30 per share, compared with an earlier guidance of $4.70 to $4.80.
Macy's has opened five discounted outlets in the New York area and plans to open a sixth before the end of the year.
The company, which also owns the department store Bloomingdale's, plans to open three new discount branches of that store too.
Macy's said it is also considering discounts at its stores to help move large quantities of inventory.
On a call with investors chief financial officer Karen Hoguet said "we will need to liquidate this inventory in the fourth quarter so that we can maintain the flow of fresh new merchandise."
Macy's has been cutting down on the number of standard priced stores that it owns for the last several years. Earlier this year it announced plans to close 35 to 40 stores in the US in early 2016.
It will provide treatment to NHS, private and self-funding patients.
The treatment is a highly-targeted type of radiotherapy that can treat hard-to-reach cancers.
Cardiff-based Proton Partners International's announcement comes after two-year-old Freya Bevan was forced to travel from Neath to Oklahoma for treatment in February.
Freya and her family made the journey because the treatment for her brain tumour was not available in the UK.
Proton Partners International said two other centres will also open in London and Northumberland in 2017.
It found 20,804 shops opened in the UK between January and the end of June, down 15% on the second half of 2015.
The slowdown was surprising as the first few months of the year typically see a surge in new shops opening up.
The LDC said worries over the state of the global economy and concerns over Brexit were probably behind the fall.
Describing the slowdown as a "dramatic fall", Michael Weedon from the LDC said Brexit was not entirely blame.
"In January and February people were not thinking, 'better not open a shop'," he said.
Instead, concerns over the global economy were likely to have weighed on the minds of entrepreneurs.
The LDC report showed that the number of shop closures also fell in the first half of the year, but by only 5% to 22,801.
All told, closures exceeded openings by 1,997 - reversing the situation in the second half of 2015 when openings were ahead of closures by 335.

Prada seeks younger customers
The vacancy rate fell for most of the first half of the year, as shops were demolished or used for other purposes faster than new buildings were put up.
However the vacancy rate for shops and leisure premises edged higher in June, rising to 11.2%.
"Whether this will be just a twitch in the statistics or the beginning of a long term reversal will become clear over the coming months," said Matthew Hopkinson from the LDC.
"For example, the 23% net growth in restaurants since 2010 is unlikely to continue.
Business, government and the media are all sniffing the air and scanning the horizon for any piece of news that might tell us what happens next," he added.
Following the financial crisis of 2007, the vacancy rate hit a high of 12.4% in 2011, and has only declined modestly since then.
The Canadian government said gross domestic product (GDP) in the second quarter shrank by 1.6%, its largest loss since 2009.
The Canadian economy was hit hard by wildfires in its oil sands region, reducing its production.
In the first quarter of the year, Canada's economy grew by 2.5%.
The recent drop in GDP was larger than analysts had projected, but not far off the predicted 1.5% loss.
"[The figure] could have been worse, given the hit from the wildfire, and clearly confirms the disappointing downward trend in exports over the last few months," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
In May, wildfires devastated the parts of northern Alberta where much of Canada's oil and natural gas is produced.
The fire burned 2,300 sq miles (5,957 sq km) of land and caused nearly $6bn ($4.5bn) in damages.
Economic growth is expected to pick up in the later half of the year as oil production gets back on track. But the decline in global oil prices will continue to weigh on the country's growth.
Canada's economy slipped into a recession at the end of 2015 as crude prices fell, but has since mostly recovered.
It was not only energy export that dropped in the spring, though. Declines in manufacturing exports also hit the economy. That sector is expected to pick up in the second half of 2016.
Economic figures for June, however, appear to signal that the downward trend may be over.
"I think the Bank of Canada is still confident that exports will turn up and lead the economic expansion in the second half of the year," said Mr Guatieri.
The government is also hoping that negotiations with the European Union over a free trade deal will help increase exports.
A slowdown in the US economy also factored into Canada's second-quarter stumble. The US is Canada's largest trading partner and an uptick in US consumer spending should help lift exports.
The body of Alan Jeal was discovered on Perranporth beach on 25 February. He had multiple injuries and a pair of earphones stuffed in his mouth.
The show will feature a reconstruction of the body being found on Perranporth beach.
It also shows his last movements and bus journeys he took around Wadebridge, Truro, Newquay and Perranporth.
Det Ch Insp Dave Thorne, who features in the programme, said: "It has been five months since Alan's body was found and there are still many unanswered questions in this case.
"We are hoping that this latest appeal will bring us new leads to help us solve the mystery and bring closure to the family."
The programme also features interviews with Alan's brother Derek Jeal and some unseen family photographs of Alan as a younger man.
Officers have released new CCTV footage of Mr Jeal outside Bridge Tools in Wadebridge at about 16:45 GMT on 24 February. He was wearing a light-blue jacket, which has not been recovered.
Officers are also keen to trace a potential witness who was seen on CCTV at the bus stop in Truro's Lemon Quay at 18:19 GMT on 24 February.
Officers believe the man, with grey hair, wearing a long dark coat and fisherman's style hat, saw Mr Jeal while waiting for a bus.

Paul Tomlinson, 29, from Nottingham, filmed the attacks and discussed it on social media, in June 2014.
Tomlinson, of Melford Road, was jailed for 20 weeks and banned from keeping dogs for three years, at Nottingham Magistrates' Court.
The RSPCA described Tomlinson's actions as "barbaric" and would not be tolerated in modern society.
Tomlinson was charged with two counts of wilfully killing or attempting to kill a badger, contrary to the Protection of Badgers Act, on 5 and 23 June 2014.
He was also accused of keeping three Lurcher dogs for use in connection with an animal fight, contrary to the Animal Welfare Act.
Magistrate Pam Draper told Tomlinson: "You kept and trained dogs for fighting, enabling them to kill the badgers.
"You videoed this happening and posted it on social media and the dogs sustained injuries."
After the sentencing Mike Butcher, RSPCA's chief inspector, said Tomlinson went out to "deliberately attack" animals.
"That can't be tolerated. In this day and age it's a barbaric way to pass your time - it's amazing how many people do this and how prevalent it is," Mr Butcher said.
"It was organised, it was thought about, so that should always contain a jail sentence."
Stirling Orchestra, which formed in 1983, is one of the five competitors in All Together Now: The Great Orchestra Challenge.
The four-part BBC4 series aims to find the UK's top amateur orchestra.
Stirling made it to the final five after 250 orchestras initially entered the competition by submitting videos.
The orchestra, which has about 70 members, includes a horse riding coach, a social worker and a microbiologist.
It will face the London Gay Symphony Orchestra, North Devon Sinfonia, the Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra and Birmingham-based People's Orchestra in the competition.
The winning orchestra will perform on stage at the BBC Proms in the Park, in Hyde Park.
Stirling Orchestra draws amateur musicians from across central Scotland and rehearses every week at the city's Wallace High School.
It performs two or three concerts a year in Stirling's Albert Halls.
Stephen Broad, the orchestra's conductor for the past 12 years, said: "I think that when an orchestra plays well together the whole experience of it becomes much more successful, both for the orchestra and the audience.
"We have a huge range of abilities in the orchestra but you can still achieve a really successful concert if you look for everyone to play together well."
There were only eight weeks between the orchestra's first rehearsal and the first knock-out round of the competition.
Cellist Gemma McAusland said: "I think you get the discipline of having to practice.
"When you're just sat at home and you've got nothing to aim for, nothing to practice for, you can very quickly become out of practice yourself.
"Coming to orchestra once a week forces you into that routine of having to get the instrument out of the case on a regular basis.
"That in turn improves your playing over a longer period of time and it's enjoyable as well."
The show will be presented by BBC Proms presenter Katie Derham.
The orchestras will be mentored by double-bassist Chi-chi Nwanoku, and conductor Paul Daniel will judge the competitors.
The newspaper group revealed the sale price in a statement filed to the Hong Kong stock exchange. The deal was announced on Friday.
Besides the English-language newspaper, Alibaba will also own sister publications, websites, and magazines.
The acquisition has raised questions due to the close links Alibaba founder Jack Ma has with Beijing.
What do employees at SCMP think of the deal?
Alibaba has promised that the paper would have editorial independence, and said it could leverage on its technology expertise to develop the paper.
The newspaper group said it will gain about HK$1.4m from the sale, "a very substantial proportion" of which would be disbursed in a special cash dividend.
The paper was founded in 1903 but profits and sales have been hit in recent years by the same declines as newspapers in many countries.
The store on Glenesk Road in Langholm was broken into at about 02:35.
It follows similar incidents last month at a Co-op petrol station in Lockerbie and a supermarket in Moffat.
Police are gathering and studying CCTV footage in an effort to identify and apprehend the people responsible for the latest break-in.
Det Insp Scott Young said: "I would urge anyone who saw anybody acting suspiciously in the area to come forward to police as a matter of urgency.
"In particular I would like to trace two men who were seen in the Waverley Road area around 11.30pm on Wednesday evening.
"They were wearing dark coloured clothing and baseball caps."
Police are want information on two vehicles seen between 23:30 on Wednesday and 03:00 on Thursday.
One was a light coloured Transit-type van and the other was a small white hatchback car.
"The police investigation is continuing into similar incidents at the Co-op petrol station in Lockerbie and the Co-op in Moffat last month," added Det Insp Young.
"We believe that these previous incidents are linked to this break-in."
Fe wnaeth AS Arfon, Hywel Williams gyhoeddi nos Lun y bydd Shiromini Satkunarajah, 20, yn cael ei rhyddhau o ganolfan gadw Yarls Wood.
Roedd Mr Williams wedi codi'r mater yn Nhŷ'r Cyffredin ddydd Llun.
Roedd Is-Ganghellor Prifysgol Bangor, yr Athro John Hughes, hefyd wedi galw ar y Swyddfa Gartref i ailystyried alltudio Ms Satkunarajah cyn iddi gwblhau ei hastudiaethau.
Cafodd Ms Satkunarajah, ei harestio ddydd Iau diwethaf ar ôl i'r awdurdodau wrthod ei chais am loches.
Mae dros 86,000 o bobl arwyddo deiseb i geisio ei hatal rhag cael ei hanfon yn ôl i'w mamwlad.
Ond dywedodd Mr Williams ar wefan Twitter nos Lun: "Falch o gyhoeddi heno fod fy etholwraig Shiromini Satkunarajah wedi ei rhyddhau ac ni fydd yn cael ei halltudio yfory. Diolch bawb am y gefnogaeth."
Yn gynharach, dywedodd Mr Williams ar lawr Tŷ'r Cyffredin: "Mae hi wedi dilyn y rheolau mewnfudo i'r llythyren, ond pan alwodd i orsaf heddlu Caernarfon yr wythnos ddiwethaf fe gafodd ei harestio, ei chadw yn y celloedd am dridiau a'i throsglwyddo i Yarls Wood.
"Rwyf wedi cysylltu â'r Gweinidog Mewnfudo sawl tro i ofyn iddo ddefnyddio doethineb yn yr achos yma, sydd â chefnogaeth eang gan gynnwys gan rai o aelodau'r Tŷ.
"Hyd yma nid yw wedi fy ateb. Mae hi i fod i adael yfory."
Cafodd Ms Satkunarajah, ei geni yn Sri Lanka ond mae wedi byw ym Mhrydain ers wyth mlynedd ac ar fin gorffen ei chwrs mewn peirianneg electroneg.
Cyn y datblygiadau diweddaraf, roedd disgwyl iddi adael Prydain fore Mawrth.

Spaniard Clotet, who replaced Michael Appleton in July, saw his new team seal victory with goals from Wes Thomas and Josh Ruffels.
The Latics could have gone in front when Aaron Amadi-Holloway set up Craig Davies, but the striker's first-time shot was saved by visiting goalkeeper Simon Eastwood.
Instead it was Oxford who led after 39 minutes as Jack Payne played a through-ball and, with Oldham appealing in vain for offside, Thomas raced clear and slotted home.
Ryan Ledson went close to adding a quickfire second for the away side, with his 20-yard drive forcing a save from Ben Wilson.
Oxford, who narrowly missed out on last season's play-offs, again showed their attacking threat with a superb move which ended when Payne was smartly denied by Wilson.
Oldham squandered a good chance when Tope Obadeyi slashed off target, but the visitors doubled the lead on 71 minutes as Ruffels collected Payne's pass and fired home from 12 yards.

Peers voted by a majority of 92 to amend the Welfare Reform and Work Bill to make ministers report annually on income levels in the poorest families.
The move was spearheaded by the Bishop of Durham, Rt Rev Paul Butler, who argued income-related statistics must be recorded so they could be assessed with other measurements of deprivation.
Ministers say life chances are a better measure of economic outcomes.
The defeat could be overturned when the bill returns to the Commons later this year.
If it is not, ministers will be obliged to present a report to Parliament each year setting out the percentage of children in households whose net income is 60% to 70% below the median average.
The government's decision to change how child poverty is measured, to focus on the root causes of poverty rather than income disparities, has angered opposition parties and anti-poverty campaigners
But ministers insist that income benchmarks put in place by the last Labour government painted a false picture and meant that inter-generational factors holding families back, such as unemployment and low educational attainment, were ignored.
Bishop Butler said he conceded income levels should not be the only measure of levels of relative poverty but were still highly significant.
"It is also possible to understate the importance of income, or the lack of it, especially among those of us who have plenty," he said.
"There is also a wealth of academic evidence pointing to the damaging effect income poverty has on children's wellbeing, including their health, education and future employment prospects."
While he was not seeking to reinstate an income-based definition of child poverty, the bishop said his proposal would ensure income was measured and reported on an equal basis to other social indicators.
Ministers insist the move is not needed as income-related statistics would still be collated.
Welfare minister Lord Freud said, on their own, income figures were at best a "partial reflection" of an individual's economic wellbeing, and did not take into account levels of debt and savings, employment histories and increased school spending in areas of the highest deprivation.
During Monday's report stage debate on the Welfare Bill, ministers also announced that the government would be exempting recipients of carer's allowance from the overall household benefit cap, which is set to fall to a maximum of £20,000 outside London and £23,00 in the capital.
Lord Freud said the government valued the contribution carers made to society and was taking further steps to support them.
The Hoegh Osaka was run aground after listing at 50 degrees on 3 January.
The 51,000-tonne vessel was eventually righted and towed back to Southampton. The vehicles onboard, worth £60m, have been removed over the past two weeks.
It set sail on Tuesday afternoon under its own power and arrived in Falmouth, Cornwall, at 09:45 GMT.
A spokesman at Falmouth docks said two tugs were in attendance when it came into port.
An underwater survey will begin on Thursday before work to repair internal steelwork and remove contaminated oil and water can be carried out.
The vessel departed Southampton at 14:30 on Tuesday after "generator issues" led to two-and-a-half hour delay, a spokesman for the owners of the ship Hoegh Autoliners said.
After repairs, which are expected to take up to three weeks, the ship is expected to return to normal service, he added.
A previous inspection showed only "minimal damage" to the ship.
More than £60m worth of Jaguar Land Rover, Hyundai and Mini cars, as well as JCB vehicles were on board the ship when it was grounded.
The incident is being investigated by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch.
Hoegh Osaka - Stranded in the Solent for 19 days
Pte Archibald Buchanan Clark, from West Lothian, died at Kumgong in 1951, aged 20, while on National Service.
The Rifleman in the 1st Battalion King's Own Scottish Borderers was killed by enemy gunfire.
Now, 65 years later, he has been honoured with the Elizabeth Cross, which was presented to his brother Roy in a ceremony in Edinburgh on Thursday.
His family said in a statement: "Archie is, and will always be, missed.
"This medal and scroll will be passed down through the family, who will always have a reminder of the sacrifice Archie and all his comrades made."
Edinburgh's Lord Lieutenant Donald Wilson led the ceremony at Edinburgh City Chambers.
He said: "It is an honour to bestow Archie's brother and extended family with a tangible recognition of his bravery.
"The Elizabeth Cross provides a lasting recognition of his national service and the loss felt by those he left behind.
"The contribution of Scottish troops during the Korean War is all too often overlooked, which makes honouring soldiers like Archie and remembering their sacrifice even more important."
The South African team won in a new world record time of 41.87 seconds.
Brazil and defending champions USA pressed hard, but both nations were disqualified which meant China and Germany took silver and bronze.
Earlier Pistorius, the defending 100m champion, qualified with the second quickest time for Thursday's T44 final.
South Africa's record-breaking 4x100m relay team:
Samkelo Radebe
Zivan Smith
Arnu Fourie
Oscar Pistorius
It was the 25-year-old's first appearance on the track since a surprise T44 200m defeat on Sunday, where he had to settle for silver behind Alan Oliveira.
Pistorius raised concerns over the length of his opponent's blades, claiming they were "not running in a fair race".
But the South African later apologised for the timing of his outburst and looked focused for the 100m despite the controversy he raised, crossing the line in 11.30 seconds.
However, Great Britain's world record holder Jonnie Peacock underlined his status as event favourite with the fastest time of 11.08 secs.
World champion Jerome Singleton finished behind Peacock, but his time of 11.46 secs was the slowest of the automatic qualifiers.
The disk went missing from the East Midlands Ambulance Service headquarters in Nottingham in August 2014.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it was satisfied "remedial action" had been taken.
"We will keep a record of this incident and may revisit it again if any similar problems occur," an ICO spokesman said.
The spokesman said the security breach only involved data on "an obsolete disk" that was probably not accessible.
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) investigated the disappearance but could not determine how the disk had been lost.
EMAS noticed the disk was missing from a "secure storage safe" at its administrative site in Beechdale Road on 14 August.
The magneto-optical disk, which is similar to a floppy disk, contained scanned images of handwritten patient report forms, with details including names, addresses and some medical history.
The ICO can fine offenders up to £500,000 if "substantial damage or distress" is caused by a security breach.
The 1995 missive, addressed to "M", said being with a black man could only help her career, but that he might let down his fans.
Madonna confirmed two years ago they had had a relationship, though it is unclear how long it lasted.
The letter is up for auction with a starting bid of $100,000 (£77,000).
Dated 15 January 1995, it was penned while Tupac was serving a prison sentence for sexual assault and 18 months before he was shot dead. Both artists were then at the height of their fame.
"For you to be seen with a black man wouldn't in any way jeopardize your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting," Tupac, then 23, wrote from New York's Clinton Correctional Facility.
"But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my 'image' that I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was.
"Like you said, I haven't been the kind of friend I know I am capable of being," he wrote, adding: "I never meant to hurt you."
Rolling Stone magazine said it had confirmed the authenticity of the document, which was first published by TMZ.
Tupac - whose parents were both Black Panthers - also suggested Madonna, then 36, hurt him by saying in an interview that she was "'off to rehabilitate all the rappers and basketball players' or something to that effect".
"Those words cut me deep seeing how I had never known you to be with any rappers besides myself," he wrote.
"It was at this moment out of hurt and a natural instinct to strike back and defend my heart and ego that I said a lot of things."
He added: "Please understand my previous position as that of a young man with limited experience with a extremely famous sex symbol."
Tupac concluded: "It's funny but this experience has taught me to not take time for granted." He signed off with a heart symbol.
On 7 September 1996, the rapper - who sold over 75 million records worldwide - died in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas after watching a Mike Tyson boxing match.
The letter will be up for auction at the Gotta Have Rock and Roll sale, which is scheduled for 19 - 28 July.
Czech Pliskova was shocked in the first set by the Paraguayan but won 2-6 6-3 6-4 in one hour and 51 minutes.
Third seed Simona Halep of Romania is also through after she thrashed Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1 6-1.
Halep, the 2014 runner-up, swept aside her 21st-seeded opponent from Spain in exactly one hour.
It was the Romanian's first win over Suarez Navarro on clay in six attempts.
She will play fifth seed Elina Svitolina for a place in the semi-finals after she came from 2-5 down in the final set to beat Petra Martic.
Svitolina, 22, needed treatment to her back and was in massive trouble at 0-30 down at 2-5 in the third.
But she somehow rallied to win 4-6 6-3 7-5 and thanked the crowd for their support.
"You give me this energy to fight for every ball and I was trying to not let you down," she said.
"I decided to give everything I had, and to stay strong mentally. Today I was struggling a bit with my injury but hopefully I can recover well and be strong for the quarter-final."
In an all-French fourth-round match Caroline Garcia, the 28th seed, beat rival Alize Cornet 6-2 6-4.
With no former champions left in the draw, and Maria Sharapova and the pregnant Serena Williams not competing, the field is wide open.
Those behind the bronze "life size and-a-half" statue, created by the sculptor Douglas Jennings want it to go up in Parliament Square.
But there have been a series of objections, including the possibility it could be vandalised and that it does not have the Thatcher family's backing.
The Parliamentary Estate has also objected to the proposal.
It has pointed out there is already a statue of Lady Thatcher in the Commons and that Westminster Council's own planning guidelines state Parliament Square - home to 11 statues - is within the "monument saturation zone, considered unsuitable for new memorials" and that statues should adhere to a rule that they do not go up within 10 years of the subject's death.
A local conservation group, the Thorney Island Society, has commented on the application, saying the 10-year-rule should be adhered to, despite the fact a statue to Nelson Mandela was put up before his death.
The group said: "While Lady Thatcher was also widely respected it cannot be said that she was uncontroversial in this country.
"There is a strong case for the ten-year rule to be respected - there should be a decent interval before permanent statues are erected, especially when they are controversial enough to risk vandalism."
The society adds: "We understand that Lady Thatcher's daughter dislikes the statue."
The Thatcher family has been contacted for a comment.
Asked about reports that the statue had effectively been blocked over concerns about vandalism, Mrs May told the BBC: "I understand there are a number of issues that have been raised around the statue. What I'm very clear about is there should be no suggestion that the threat of vandalism should stop a statue of Margaret Thatcher from being put up."
At a briefing later, her spokesman said it was a decision for Westminster Council but added that "statues are a key part of this country's heritage" and those in Parliament Square were an "important reminder of people who've played a key role in this country's history".
The statue proposal has yet to go before a planning committee and even if it was granted permission - it would then have to get the approval of the Royal Parks, which manages the Parliament Square site.
The Royal Parks has objected to the application.
A spokesman said: "Numerous times we have requested assurances from the applicant that they have approval from the family for the statue. To date we have not had those assurances."
Lady Thatcher, who was Conservative prime minister from 1979 until 1990, died on 8 April 2013, following a stroke, at the age of 87.
The Public Memorials Appeal Trust - a charity which has raised the money to erect the statue - said it was chosen to portray the former PM in her state robes, "her most dignified attire," with "a resolute posture looking towards the Houses of Parliament, with a stern gaze slightly rightwards, akin with her political leanings".
Its preferred site for the statue and stone plinth is on the west side of Parliament Square, on Canning Green, between the existing statues of former prime minister George Canning and Abraham Lincoln - two of 11 statues in the square.
In April it was announced that the suffragist Dame Millicent Fawcett would become the first woman to be honoured with a statue in the square.
Other statues of Lady Thatcher include one by sculptor Antony Dufort, in the members' lobby of the House of Commons, unveiled in 2007, and a bronze bust in a museum in her home town of Grantham.
In 2002 a protester decapitated a £150,000 Italian marble statue of Lady Thatcher at London's Guildhall Library and the statue of another former PM, Sir Winston Churchill, has occasionally been the target of vandalism in Parliament Square, the site of many protests over the years.
Until 1815, open candles were used and ignited frequent methane explosions.
Sir Humphry Davy's invention is thought to have saved as many as 500,000 lives worldwide and is still in use today.
To mark the occasion on Sunday, Bersham Colliery in Wrexham- now a mining museum - is inviting visitors to bring their Davy Lamps and other industrial heirlooms along for identification.
Davy Lamps work by screening the flame behind a metal mesh, wide enough to let in enough oxygen for combustion, but too fine to allow the flame to flicker beyond the cage.
As well as providing light, it acted as an indicator for the presence of methane - when it would burn with a taller, bluer flame, and of a lack of oxygen, when the lamp would be extinguished.
Alan Jones, chairman of the North Wales Miners Association Trust, said: "Over the last two centuries the Davy Lamp has seen countless tweaks and improvements, like the introduction of a glass window to allow more light, but it's still the same basic principle.
"Even today men working underground will carry a Davy Lamp, because while more sophisticated electronic monitors can fail, a Davy Lamp will always work."
But the Davy Lamp was not without teething problems.
Initially its introduction to mines actually saw a rise in accidents as miners - and more importantly bosses - felt more confident in working parts of pits which had previously been no-go areas.
As Mr Jones explained, many of the early problems were not so much to do with the lamps themselves, but the way they were used.
"The earliest examples, before the glass window was introduced, emitted very little light from behind the mesh, so miners would frequently unscrew the cover to see what they were doing. Later models had a tamper-proof lock to prevent this.
"Working in damp conditions the mesh would corrode and even a very small break in the mesh could allow the flame to escape and spark an explosion."
Mr Jones said, because of subtle changes over the years, it is possibly to identify roughly where and when a Davy Lamp was made.
"We're not especially interested in valuing them, most are only worth about £50 or £60, but some of the rarest and oldest examples can sell for over £500," he added.
Another of Sir Humphry's inventions could have held the key to the illumination problems as he was also an early pioneer of electric incandescent lighting, although it would take almost another 100 years before electric lights became common in mines.
He also used electrolysis to isolate several new metals such as sodium and calcium for the first time and became an exponent of nitrous oxide or laughing gas as an anaesthetic, so much so he ended up addicted to it.

The six-time Olympic champion clocked 19.89 seconds - 0.15 ahead of Panama's Alonso Edward in second.
Britain's Commonwealth silver medallist Adam Gemili was third in a season's best 20.07.
Bolt's performance will have eased concerns after he missed the Jamaican trials earlier this month with injury.
The 29-year-old won gold in both the 100m and 200m at the London and Beijing Olympics, and will defend both titles in Rio next month.
The fastest 200m time of the year is 19.74 by United States sprinter LaShawn Merritt, while Bolt's word record - set in 2009 - is 19.19.
"I'm getting there," Bolt told BBC Sport. "I'm not fully in shape.
"I didn't execute the start well but I came through injury free so I'm happy with that."
America's Keni Harrison and Britain's Laura Muir gave the most impressive performances on an evening which saw one world and two British records broken.
Harrison broke a 28-year-old world record in the women's 100m hurdles, crossing the line in an astonishing 12.20 seconds.
However the 23-year-old, in tears at the finishing line after learning of her feat, will not be competing in Rio after stumbling in the American trials.

Much has changed inside the Olympic Stadium since Bolt won his hat-trick of golds in London 2012, with the colours of soon-to-be new residents West Ham United in the seating and reminders of the Hammers' history adorning the walls inside the bowels of the stadium.
Usain Bolt is back in business. It wasn't super fast but it's a confidence-boosting win that will send out a message to his rivals
But what has not altered is Bolt's supremacy on this track, and in his sport. Home favourite Jessica Ennis-Hill was also competing on Friday, but it was Bolt the majority - including a group of journalists from Rio who had travelled especially to make sure the world record holder had fully recovered from his hamstring tear - came to see.
For those worrying that the sprinter would not be fit enough to take top billing at August's Olympics, those fears have probably now been allayed.
He had to work hard for his victory, with both Edward and Gemili closing him down, but he powered through in a headwind to record the fifth fastest time of the year, showing no ill effects on his comeback as he performed a lap of honour and posed for fans and photographers with his usual mischief.

With the temperature a cosy 23C for most of the evening and the stadium's track relaid with the same fast Mondo track that will be used in Rio, conditions were perfect for running.
Scot Muir broke Dame Kelly Holmes' 12-year-old British record in the 1500m, clocking three minutes 57.49 seconds in a race she controlled.
The time ranks her second in the world this year, making her a medal contender in Rio.
The 23-year-old said: "I'm over the moon with that. It's not just any record: it's Kelly Holmes' Olympic gold medal record. It's great to have."
"Amazing run," tweeted Holmes. "Records are there to be broken."
Olympic heptathlon champion Ennis-Hill was eighth in the women's 100m hurdles, having set a season's best 12.76 in finishing third in the heats.
Fellow heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson set a personal best of 1.95m in the high jump before going on to fail in her attempt to set a British record 1.98m. Teenager Morgan Lake, who will compete in the high jump in Rio, achieved a season's best 1.92m.
Earlier, Britain's women's 4x100m relay team of Asha Philip, Desiree Henry, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita produced a British record and a world-leading time of 41.81 seconds.
Former Olympic and world champion Christine Ohuruogu, silver medallist in London four years ago, was fifth in the 400m in a season's best 51.05 seconds - a race won in a world-leading 49.55 by Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas.
Michael Johnson, the men's world record holder in the event, told BBC Sport the 32-year-old has "got some work to do" before Rio.
Britons Emily Diamond, Seren Bundy-Davies and Anyika Onuora were seventh, eighth and ninth respectively.

In the women's 400m hurdles, a tiring Eilidh Doyle stuttered approaching the final barrier and finished fourth in 54.70 seconds - down on the season's best 54.09 she set in Monaco earlier this month.
"I've had some hard races recently but hopefully I can iron out those mistakes for Rio," she told BBC Sport.
As is always the case at the Olympic Stadium, world record holder Renaud Lavillenie - who has never been beaten in this part of east London - won the men's pole vault.
A disappointing men's 100m final was won by Jimmy Vicaut in 10.02, with the Frenchman having dipped below 10 seconds in the heats.
Britons CJ Ujah and Richard Kilty both clocked 10.16, with Kilty fading in the final 30m after a strong start.
Kenya's Silas Kiplagat was the man who signed the famous winners' book after winning the Emsley Carr Mile in 3.53.04, while Briton Jake Wightman smashed his personal best with a 3.54.20 run in fourth.
Officers were called at 16:15 BST on Friday after a man gained entry to Rimrose Hope Church of England Primary School in Seaforth, Merseyside.
A member of staff suffered a minor arm injury but no children were injured.
A 31-year-old man has been charged with burglary, attempted burglary, assault, possessing a bladed article, assaulting a police constable and criminal damage.
His charges relate to a number of unconnected incidents in Liverpool and Sefton between 16 May and 16 June this year, Merseyside Police said.
He has been remanded in custody to appear at South Sefton Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Standards in the city's schools are not improving quickly enough, the government watchdog found.
In a letter to authorities, Ofsted regional director Lorna Fitzjohn said more than 5,500 secondary pupils were at a school not yet good enough.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council said the authority was "rightly ambitious" in the targets it sets for improvements.
Ms Fitzjohn acknowledged "some green shoots" of improvement at the schools were evident.
But inspectors found local authority arrangements for continued improvement in schools was still not good enough and children underperformed at most key phases of education.
Ofsted said the council's ambitious targets to improve standards were "unrealistic" and being missed, leaving the area "one of the worst in England" for the number of good and outstanding primary and secondary schools.
Ms Fitzjohn said Stoke-on-Trent's primary schools were still lingering in the bottom 10 authority areas.
"Equally as poor is the fact the area is in the bottom 20% in England for the number of good or outstanding secondary schools," she added.
However, inspectors accepted the council was applying a rigorous approach to improving in leadership at schools to deal with the problem.
A council spokesman said: "We'd like to reassure parents and carers that we are working very closely with schools to ensure we have robust mechanisms in place that will lead to continuous and sustained improvements.
"The partnership between the council and schools has never been better and is driving up the quality of education."
Dianne Mason, executive head teacher at St Peter's Catholic Primary School in Cobridge and St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary, both rated outstanding by Ofsted, is a member of the Stoke Schools Improvement Plan.
She said the group, comprising head teachers, councillors and local authority staff, was working extremely hard to improve school's performance.
"It will identify the schools that are vulnerable by looking at the performance data and obviously the priorities and see if we can support them in some way in order to develop," she said.
"This is a group that has been developing over the last 18 months and is becoming more rigorous.
"Schools are moving forward and there will be good schools across the city.
"When a school is in difficulties and get the support although the school improves it can take quite a while to turn the performance data around. Although things are in place it takes a while for data to change and for things to catch up."
The Whites have been involved in two relegation battles since suffering the drop from the top flight in 2014.
"It has been a difficult transition from the Premier League," he said.
"We have grown a bit wiser to the rigour of the Championship. Hopefully we have more nous, in terms of knowing what is required to get back up."
Fulham lost seven of their first eight Championship games in 2014-15 but Kit Symons guided the west London club to safety after replacing Felix Magath as boss.
However, Symons was sacked last November despite the Craven Cottage side being in mid-table and, after Peter Grant and Stuart Gray had short spells in charge, Slavisa Jokanovic helped Fulham finish 20th, 11 points above the bottom three.
"To have that number of managerial changes has been difficult but ultimately as a group of players we have underachieved," Smith, 27, added.
"We've finished in the bottom half of the table and made life difficult for ourselves at times.
"If results are that poor then the one who is going to suffer is the manager. We have got to take it upon ourselves to turn it around."
Having had a full pre-season under Serb Jokanovic, who led Watford to second place in the Championship in 2014-15, Smith is optimistic about the new campaign.
"It is difficult when you join mid-season because, whilst you are tying to adapt to new ideas you need to make sure the results are okay as well," he added.
"There is always that transitional period and it is important you get to take on all his ideas and his philosophies.
"We have had a productive pre-season and have a greater knowledge of our roles and responsibilities."
Fulham have made eight signings this summer but strikers Moussa Dembele and Ross McCormack have both departed - the latter to Aston Villa for a fee of £12m.
That could open the door for Smith, who has only started 13 league games in two seasons at Craven Cottage,
"It has been a very stop-start period for me. I have been used to 40 to 45 games a season up until my time here," the former Leeds man said.
"It has been tough. There have been managerial changes and injury has hindered me a little bit.
"I have scored goals in this division before and feel I can add goals to the side, as well as contributing a physical presence defensively. I know it is a big season for me."
Fulham begin the new EFL campaign at home to Newcastle United on Friday (19:45 BST).

Frank Mulholland was questioned by MSPs about when the Crown Office was first notified of allegations of mortgage fraud against Christopher Hales.
Mr Hales acted for Ms Thomson before she was elected as an SNP MP.
Ms Thomson has surrendered the SNP party whip.
She has also stood down as the party's business spokeswoman at Westminster until the investigation into Mr Hales has concluded.
In the Scottish Parliament, Labour MSP Jackie Baillie asked Mr Mulholland about the timeline in the case.
The Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland explained the timeline....
Mr Mulholland said: "As the Crown has made clear on a number of occasions, the case of Christopher Hales was first brought to its attention by the Law Society of Scotland at a meeting on 18 December, 2014."
Ms Baillie asked if Mr Mulholland believed there should be an investigation into the processing of information between the Law Society and the Crown Office.
She asked if he would order such an inquiry, given that there may have been "additional opportunities for alleged mortgage fraud" due to the delay.
Mr Mulholland responded: "I don't have the power to order an inquiry, and I don't think there should be an inquiry."
He said Police Scotland were instructed to investigate the allegations on 3 July 2015 and formally issued officers to do so on 9 July.
He said the issue was raised at routine quarterly meetings between the Law Society and the Crown Office.
Mr Mullholland said the Crown Office was first made aware on 18 December 2014 that the case was under consideration for referral. The issue was raised again on 28 April.
Mr Mulholland added: "The first time the Crown was made aware of the identity of the clients and the properties, was the 3rd of July."
Last week, the Law Society said its director of financial compliance Ian Messer "informally" raised concerns about the case of Mr Hales during two separate meetings with prosecutors in December 2014 and April 2015.
However, the Law Society did not "formally" submit its evidence to the Crown until July 2015, two months after Ms Thomson was elected SNP MP for Edinburgh West.
Law Society chief executive Lorna Jack gave an "absolute and categorical assurance" last week that the election played no part in the timings of the case.
She said Mr Messer would have seen Ms Thomson's name in the unredacted report into Mr Hales but may not have been aware she was a Westminster candidate.
The secretary to the Law Society committee that struck Mr Hales off, Sheila Kirkwood, is said to be a personal acquaintance of Ms Thomson with close links to the SNP.
Ms Jack has pledged to look more deeply into Ms Kirkwood's links with Ms Thomson, but said she has received an assurance the secretary was unaware of the MP's links to Mr Hales until she read about it in media reports.
Ms Thomson is linked to 13 transactions Mr Hales conducted in 2010-11 where properties were said to have been bought cheaply from clients looking for a quick sale and then sold at a huge mark-up on the same day.
Complicated "cashback" deals were said to have been used to artificially inflate property prices in order to secure bigger loans from lenders.
Ms Thomson has denied acting illegally.
The Met Office has warned of gusts of up to 80mph in coastal areas.
Highways England said there was an increased risk of lorries, caravans and motorbikes "being blown over".
The weather has already led to some ferry disruption. Some Friday evening services have been cancelled and other services will not run on Monday.
Highways England has urged drivers of lorries, vehicles towing caravans and motorcyclists to "take extra care" and delay their journeys if the "weather becomes severe".
A spokesman said if the wind speed went above the threshold for the Severn crossings and QEII Bridge at Dartford they would have to introduce speed restrictions or shut them temporarily.
"We are keeping a close eye on the situation. There is a greater likelihood that there may be restrictions on the Severn crossing."
The Commodore Goodwill 18:30 GMT Portsmouth to Guernsey crossing and DFDS Seaways 23:30 Newhaven to Dieppe service have both been cancelled.
Sea conditions also meant one of the operator's Dover to Calais ferries was delayed earlier on Sunday. Storm Imogen warning halts ferries
The St Malo to Jersey ferry service was brought forward by three hours.

All sailings between the Channel Islands, St Malo and the UK have been halted on Monday because of the expected stormy weather conditions.
Brittany Ferries has cancelled and delayed services between Portsmouth, Santander and Bilbao for the next few days. Crossings between Poole and Cherbourg have also been halted on Monday.
The Met Office said Storm Imogen was likely to affect the Bristol Channel area and coastal areas of Sussex and Kent between 03:00 GMT and 18:00 GMT.
A yellow warning of rain is already in place for Devon, Torbay, Somerset, north Somerset and Plymouth.
There are 35 flood warnings in place in England, including five on the River Avon in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, indicating that flooding is expected and "immediate action is required".
Fifteen racehorses had to be rescued from a champion trainer's yard in Ditcheat, Somerset, overnight after flash floods hit their stables.
Large waves are also expected to cause flooding to coastal properties in several locations in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.
Forecaster Craig Snell said: "We have issued a broad yellow warning of wind that encompasses Cardiff, Bristol and into the Thames Estuary.
"There is an amber warning for wind mainly focused on Devon and Cornwall but stretching into central England on Monday morning.
"This means people should be prepared for disruption to travel on roads, rail, bridges and ferries and we could see possible damage to structures and downed trees risk affecting power.
"The wind will be combined with some hefty showers with some thunder along the south coast."
Kiran Carlson and Lukas Carey are the players added to the XI who featured in Swansea.
Worcestershire will give a home debut to Australian spinner Nathan Lyon.
But batsman Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who hit a century against Glamorgan in April, has left the club to join Yorkshire.
The 22-year-old has moved immediately after saying he planned to leave New Road at the end of the season.
The home side add 18-year-old fast bowler Pat Brown to the XI defeated by Sussex in their last match.
Glamorgan have not included all-rounder Graham Wagg, who made a century for the second XI against Kent in his first appearance of the season.
Wagg did not bowl in the match on his return from groin surgery.
Glamorgan are sixth in the Division Two table, 45 points behind third-placed Worcestershire, who won their encounter in Cardiff in April by eight wickets.
But Glamorgan won by five wickets on their 2016 visit to New Road.
Michael Hogan began his Glamorgan captaincy with a win over Durham at Swansea last Monday, to claim their first Championship win of the season, and wants to repeat that success.
"They have plenty of quality players," said Hogan. "They were by far the better team when they beat us by eight wickets earlier in the season, but we have improved since then and are up for the challenge."
Worcestershire (from): Darryl Mitchell, Brett D'Oliviera, Tom Fell, Joe Clarke, Ben Cox (wk), Ross Whiteley, Ed Barnard, Joe Leach (capt), Josh Tongue, Jack Shantry, Nathan Lyon, Pat Brown.

They said rebels had fired a barrage of Grad rockets at troops in Zelenopillya, a village near the Russian border.
The pro-Russian rebels say they "destroyed a column" of troops there.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko vowed retaliation, saying: "For every soldier's life, the militants will pay with tens and hundreds of their own."
"Not a single terrorist will avoid responsibility, each will get what they deserve," he said, in a statement posted on his website after an emergency meeting of security chiefs.
Ukraine's defence ministry put at 23 the number of troops killed in clashes in the past 24 hours. Nineteen of them died in the Grad attack, it said.
The ministry spokesman, Volodymyr Seleznyov, also said 93 troops had been wounded. Earlier media reports about the rocket strike, which spoke of up to 30 killed, were inaccurate, he said.
Russian-made Grad rockets are heavy artillery weapons fired in batches from lorries. Both the Russian and Ukrainian armed forces use them.
On Thursday night the rebels shelled Ukrainian troops at Donetsk airport.
The rebels have regrouped in Donetsk as the Ukrainian military has retaken territory in the country's east. The rebels have not yet broken through to the airport.
The figure of up to 30 dead in the Zelenopillya rocket attack came from Zoryan Shkyryak, an adviser to Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov. He described the destruction as "really heavy".
A motorised brigade from Lviv, western Ukraine, was targeted in the rocket attack, the Ukrainian news website Unian reports.
Meanwhile, a report by the human rights group Amnesty International has accused separatists of abuses in the three-month conflict.
The group said it had found "graphic and compelling evidence of savage beatings and other torture" by pro-Russian groups in eastern Ukraine.
The Amnesty report, Abductions and Torture in Eastern Ukraine, said that protesters and journalists had been targeted, and hundreds of people had been abducted.
Pro-government forces had also committed a smaller number of abuses, Amnesty said.
One of the rebel leaders, Oleg Tsaryov, told the BBC that the militants would not surrender, despite increased pressure from Ukrainian government forces.
Backed by President Alassane Ouattara, the text scraps the requirement that both parents of presidential candidates must be native-born Ivorians.
The clause barred Mr Ouattara himself for running for the post in the past.
Opponents say the changes will help him to stay in power. The text will now go to a popular vote on 30 October.
The question of national identity has long been a source of tension in Ivory Coast, and the nationality rule was resented by many in the north, where families have ties to neighbouring countries.
A maximum age of 75 for candidates was also removed.
Some civil society groups and opposition politicians have called the changes "undemocratic", as they will allow Mr Ouattara, who is 74, to run in the next election, expected in 2020.
Other revisions included the creation of the post of vice-president and a senate, a third of whose members would be nominated by the president.
It is part of a wider campaign to enhance the safety of women, in the light of growing concerns about levels of sexual violence in the country.
From 2018, phones will also have to include GPS navigation systems.
India does not have a centralised emergency number but officials are looking to introduce one this year.
Ravi Shankar Prasad, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, said: "Technology is solely meant to make human life better and what better than using it for the security of women?"
The National Crime Records Bureau said there were 337,922 reports of violence against women, including rape, molestation, abduction and cruelty in 2014, including 36,000 rapes, a rise of 9% on the previous year's figures.
It is likely that the real incidence of rape is much higher than official figures suggest.
It is not yet clear how the panic button system will work but it is likely to allow customers to call the emergency services by either pressing a single button or by pressing the power button several times in succession.
Women's safety has risen to the top of the political agenda in India since the fatal gang rape of a 23 year-old medical student on a bus in Delhi in 2012 sparked new anti-rape laws in the country.

Nott, an England Under-20 international second row, follows fellow academy graduates Ben and Tom Curry in committing his future to the Sharks.
"The drain on players coming through our successful academy system and then moving south has come to an end," Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond said.
Nott becomes the 12th player to recently sign a new contract with 10th-placed Sale and his new deal follows the returns of Will Cliff and Marc Jones from Bristol and the signing of Scotland international Josh Strauss from Glasgow.
The airline says all flights to and from London Gatwick and London City airports will operate normally.
The majority of flights to and from London Heathrow will operate as normal.
But BA said it would be merging a "very small number" of flights to and from Heathrow.
That means some customers will travel slightly earlier or later.
The airline said in a statement that customers affected were being contacted with the options available for them.
The dispute concerns about 4,000 staff - some 15% of BA's cabin crew - who have joined the airline since 2010 on "mixed fleet" contracts and who do not feel they are paid enough. About 2,900 of them are Unite members.
Earnings were advertised between £21,000 and £25,000, but the Unite union says that in reality, they start at just over £12,000 - plus £3 an hour flying pay.
BA cabin crew will start selling food from Marks and Spencer from next week as the airline introduces pay-as-you-go meals on its short-haul flights.
The Unite union said M&S store staff who sell this same food would be earning over £6,000 per year more on a full-time basis than the basic starting salary of a member of BA's "mixed fleet" cabin crew.
BA disputes these figures, and insists that full-time mixed fleet cabin crew do, in reality, earn above £21,000.
The strike reflects cabin crew's rejection of a new pay offer of 2% in the first year and 2.5% in years two and three - a rise that the union said would leave staff £20 a month better off after tax.
An earlier strike, planned for Christmas, was suspended after that offer was made, but members rejected it by 7-1.

Burns defends his WBA super-lightweight belt on Saturday, and believes he can overcome his Namibian foe in Glasgow.
Southpaw Indongo won the IBF title by knocking out Eduard Troyanovsky 40 seconds into their contest in December.
"If I can unify the division and add another world title to the collection, it doesn't get any bigger than that," said 34-year-old Scot Burns.
"We know we've got a tough fight on our hands. It's going to be a tricky opponent, but preparation has gone well.
"He's tall, he has a height and reach advantage over me and he's a southpaw which makes him even more awkward, but the sparring has been great. We're confident that whatever comes our way, we'll be able to deal with it.
"Mentally, I'm always prepared for whatever's coming my way and I'm not afraid to lose. I will fight anybody they put in front of me. I will always give it 100%. I'm looking forward to it."
Burns, who celebrated his birthday on Thursday, weighed in at 9st 13lb, as did Indongo.
Burns is only the third British fighter to have won world titles at three different weights, and victory would make him Scotland's first unified champion.
That would open up the possibility of a lucrative rematch with American Terence Crawford, the WBC and WBO super-lightweight champion, who defeated Burns in March 2014.
Steve Bunce, BBC Radio 5 live's boxing pundit, said: "You look at Burns' record - six or seven years of title fights, a three-weight world champion, one of only three Britons to do that in the last 120-odd years... you'd be shocked if Burns walked on to one of those punches.
"If this was a 21-year-old African with a couple of quick wins under his belt, you'd be a bit more alarmed.
"He can bang but I just fancy Burns knows too much. We underestimate Burns, he's been going under the radar too long."
One huge left hand brought Indongo to prominence. Fighting outside Namibia for the first time in his professional career, it took less than a minute for him to grab the IBF belt from Troyanovsky.
Undefeated in 21 contests, he was unfazed by the home crowd in Moscow and he also fought abroad when he competed in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
The 34-year-old believes he is fighting on behalf of his country and his continent, revealing the Namibian president had phoned him to wish him luck and tell him to keep his guard up.
"It's going to be an amazing night, when the impossible can become possible, things I never expected in life, whereby the world is going to know where I came from," Indongo said.
"I can promote my country at large, and believe me, the night is going to be an exciting one that nobody will ever have expected it to be. I'm going to give my all. I trust myself and it's not easy to reach this level. Nobody thought I would be where I am now.
"It's not easy to fight outside home, I have to adapt to the situation. My aim is to take victory home. I'm undefeated. He already knows how losing feels.
"My talent will prove to people who I am. I will give what I have and what the world doesn't know about."

The ex-Hull City assistant manager took charge in the absence of head coach Aitor Karanka, who left Boro's training ground on Friday following a row.
"We're bitterly disappointed with the performance," Agnew told BBC Tees.
"They are a driven group of players who want to get where we all want to and I'm fully confident that they will."
The defeat marked the Teesiders second consecutive loss against a side in the relegation zone, having been beaten 1-0 by Rotherham in midweek.
Middlesbrough remain second in the Championship, seven points behind League leaders Burnley with a game in hand, but have won only five games in 2016.
Agnew continued: "To concede two goals like we did, it's not like us as a team.
"We never created too many chances - we were on the back foot more than we were on the front foot, so it was disappointing for everybody."
Boro have lost three of their last four league matches and will need a better performance on Friday if they wish to beat third-placed Hull City to retain their position in the table.
"As it's one of our close rivals, everyone will be ready and fired up for the game," Agnew added.
"Having been in the top two most of the season, that's something that we strive to continue to stay in.
"They're all big games now - we're almost on countdown."
Fifty-year-old Agnew - who previously stood in as Middlesbrough's caretaker manager following the departure of Gordon Strachan in October 2010 - declined to comment on the position of Aitor Karanka following the statement issued by the club on Saturday.
"We've got to respect the decision that's been made by the club. I don't need to comment on anything other than the football side," he said.
"We've just got to look forward to the games we've got coming ahead and we've got to look forward to the rest of the season."
Séamus Dooley, NUJ Irish secretary, said it happened at Hackballscross shortly after 09:00 GMT on Friday.
Mr Dooley said the intimidation of photographers and reporters by associates of Mr Murphy was "an affront to democracy".
"I understand that shortly after 9am a car with four occupants, including Mr Murphy, the front seat passenger, arrived at Shelagh National School, Hackballscross," Mr Dooley said.
"Mr Murphy was not impeded from entering the building and there was no attempt by any media representative to prevent him from casting his vote in secret.
"As he entered the polling station, one of the occupants of the car approached a vehicle in which a photographer and reporter were sitting.
"The man did not identify himself but ordered the media representatives that they could not take photographers. I note that according to a report in The Irish Times the man told the journalists he was 'just following orders'.
"We understand that as a garda (Irish police officer) and an election official subsequently spoke to the media the man proceeded to take photographs of the journalists and their cars.
"The NUJ deplores this attempt to intimidate journalists in the course of their work in reporting on a significant event."
Mr Dooley said Mr Murphy was a figure of current public interest as he was due to be sentenced later on Friday on tax evasion charges at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin.
Mr Dooley added: "If Mr Murphy felt his rights were being violated he should have reported the matter to An Garda Siochána.
"The use of private handlers to try to control the media is unacceptable in a democracy."
Police Scotland said officers acting on intelligence stopped a car on the city's Broomielaw at 20:30 on Monday.
Two men, aged 23 and 24, were arrested after the drugs were found.
They will be the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal and are expected to appear from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court later.
Back-row Cornell du Preez, who touched down twice last Friday against Grenoble, scored again for the Scots.
In typical fashion, Edinburgh's pack won a penalty try, and a driving maul allowed John Hardie to plunge over.
Agen's points came via two penalties from the boot of captain Clement Darbo.
Stand-off Greig Tonks, who is under pressure to exert a controlling influence at first receiver with his principal rivals - Kiwi duo Phil Burleigh and Jade Te Rure - injured, kicked well in testing conditions, slotting two early penalties for the visitors.
And Edinburgh would stretch their lead before half-time from the sort of punishing forward pressure that has been a feature of their victories this season.
A series of dominant scrums from Alan Solomons' pack prompted referee Peter Fitzgibbon to award a penalty try, duly converted by Tonks.
Scotland flanker Hardie, who made his debut for the club in last weekend's win, was characteristically influential in open play, and though denied before the break, set-up du Preez for Edinburgh's second try on 44 minutes with a fine break and offload.
Tonks converted again, before scrum-half Darbo struck a quick-fire double from the tee to put Agen - who lie bottom of the Top 14 - on the scoreboard.
Hardie again splintered the French defence with another rambunctious break, his pass going astray 10 metres from the hosts' line.
The New Zealand-born openside would get his reward, however, as he grounded from a maul to score his first try for the club, Tonks once more adding the extras.
A scrappy final 10 minutes culminated in second-row Fraser McKenzie being sin-binned for an infringement at the breakdown with the clock red, with neither side able to alter the scoreboard.
Head coach Solomons can be pleased with the efforts of his formidable assortment of forwards, and the depth he has assembled in his pack, but is likely to be frustrated with Edinburgh's failure to clinch a fourth try and a bonus-point for the second successive match.
Agen: Francois Tardieu, Leka Tagotago, Pierre Fouyssac, Julien Heriteau, Filipo Nakosi, Francois Bouvier, Clement Darbo (capt); Quentin Bethune, Marc Barthomeuf, Nicolas Chocou, Jean-Baptiste Roidot, Leo Bastien, Sione Tau, Antoine, Miquel, Marc Baget.
Replacements: Florian Dufour, Viliamu Afatia, Dave Ryan, Corentin Braendlin, Felicien Vergnon, Baptiste Cadiou, Timothe Guillimin, Benoit Sicart.
Edinburgh: Dougie Fife, Tom Brown, Will Helu, Matt Scott, Otulea Katoa, Greig Tonks, Sean Kennedy; Alasdair Dickinson, Ross Ford (capt), WP Nel, Anton Bresler, Fraser McKenzie, Nasi Manu, John Hardie, Cornell Du Preez.
Replacements: Neil Cochrane, Rory Sutherland, Simon Berghan, Alex Toolis, Jamie Ritchie, Nathan Fowles, Blair Kinghorn, Chris Dean.
It is understood he was one of a group of five swimmers who got into difficulty in the sea at Tullan Strand near Bundoran on Tuesday evening.
Four of the group were able to make it to safety with the help of local surfers.
Bundoran RNLI have advised people to 'stay away' as the search resumes.
The Sligo-based coastguard helicopter, Killybegs Coast Guard, defence forces and Gardaà are also assisting in the rescue.
Shane Smith of Bundoran lifeboat said the operation began again at 07:00 BST on Thursday.
"While the search is ongoing, we're just advising people to stay away from the Tullan Strand area for the couple of days that we are searching," he said.
"There is a lot of army personnel and shore crew up there at the minute so its just for their own safety and the safety of the crew as well."
Tullan Strand is a popular surfing location and is regarded locally as a safe place to swim.
The alarm for the missing man was raised on Tuesday by a woman watching events unfold from a car park.
The teenager appeared at Londonderry Magistrates' Court after failing a police drugs test on Wednesday. He admitted consuming cannabis before he was arrested.
District Judge Barney McElholm said he would give the boy one last chance because of his love for art.
He must attend court for three days and draw the judge and solicitors.
Mr McElholm said as part of the teenager's bail conditions: "You must bring with you a sketch pad and a pencil and you can draw me and the solicitors for two hours each day.
"Only me and the solicitors, and I will review the matter on Wednesday."
He added: "If you look stoned you will be arrested."
The measures, which took effect in April initially for one year, reduced the tariffs offered to beneficiaries of the botched green energy scheme.
Flaws in the scheme meant it spiralled beyond its budget. At one stage it had a projected overspend of £490m.
The Department for the Economy has said it intends to extend the cost-control plan for a further 12 months.
In a statement on Wednesday, it said the extension was "a temporary measure, which will give the department the opportunity to develop the long-term arrangements needed".
The regulations were approved by MLAs just before the Northern Ireland Assembly collapsed in January.
But a group representing boiler owners who are claiming from the scheme began a legal challenge against the plan.
The Renewable Heat Association (RHANI) said in April that some of its members' firms are folding because of the cuts to their payments from the RHI scheme.
On Wednesday, it said scheme participants had been assured that the 2017 regulations were for a limited period.
"We had suspected that the announcement of the pilot or token 20 inspections was a means of distracting public attention from this deeply worrying policy decision," said RHANI's executive chairman Andrew Trimble.
He added that a previous court hearing had been told that the Department for the Economy "did not have the lawful authority to breach the guarantees entered into when it launched the scheme".
RHANI's website had been busy all day, he said, as churches, charities and companies joined the organisation.
The new tariff rules were a one-year emergency measure to tackle a projected £490m overspend in the 20-year scheme.
It has been estimated that this year they will reduce the in-year overspend from £30m to £2m.
Now officials have a plan to extend them for up to another 12 months.
For that to happen would require either assembly approval or sign-off by a direct rule minister.
It also assumes that a High Court challenge to the new tariff regime by boiler owners in October will be unsuccessful.
On Wednesday, the Department for the Economy said its cost-cutting plan had "brought the forecast scheme expenditure back into line with the budget provided by the UK government".
It added that it must wait until the court judgement on the legal challenge before it can propose a long-term measure to cut the overspend.
It also said there was not enough time before the end of initial one-year plan next April for a long-term solution to be proposed, consulted on and put in place.
Therefore, it is seeking a 12-month extension - until 31 March 2019 - on the temporary regulations.
On Tuesday, the department announced that inspections of boiler sites are to begin.
The so-called "cash-for-ash" scandal has been the backdrop of major political upheaval in Northern Ireland over the past year.
The RHI scheme was set up by the Northern Ireland Executive in 2012, with the intention of increasing the consumption of fuel from renewable sources, rather than fossil fuels.
Biomass boilers burning wood pellets were installed by most beneficiaries of the scheme.
But a critical flaw - an overgenerous subsidy offer - effectively allowed them to earn more cash the more fuel they burned.
The fallout from the scandal resulted in the collapse of the Stormont assembly and executive and the calling of a snap election in March.
A judge-led public inquiry into the scandal has also started and is expected to hold its first public evidence sessions in September.
It was due to be revealed on Thursday.
The official deadline for the Football Association to submit its squad to Uefa before the tournament is 31 May.
England have warm-up games against Turkey, Australia and Portugal before the finals, which are being played in France between 10 June and 10 July.
Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck is expected to be ruled out of the Euros with an injury to his right knee picked up in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
His team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 22, is already missing the tournament.
There are also fitness concerns over another Gunners midfielder, Jack Wilshere, who has just returned to Arsenal's first team after 10 months out with a broken leg, while Liverpool's Jordan Henderson suffered knee ligament damage last month.
However, his manager Jurgen Klopp says "there is no doubt" the 25-year-old Reds captain will be ready for the tournament.
The body parts, which were found in White Hart Lakes in Dagenham, east London, have been identified as being 39-year-old Neill Buchel.
Chas Quye, 35, of Stansgate Road and Scott Hunt, 41, of Braintree Road, both in Dagenham, as well Elvis Kwiatkowski, 35, of Royston, Hertfordshire, have been charged with his murder.
All three were due before Redbridge magistrates on Saturday.
Colin Bushaway, 60, of Gregory Crescent, Eltham, was charged on 1 May with perverting the course of justice and has been bailed to appear at the same court on 20 May.
Mr Buchel was reported missing by his family on 18 March and his body parts were found on 1 April.
The temporary Meccano bridge has been built across Belfast's Clarendon Dock.
It was unveiled at a free public event on Saturday.
Representatives from Guinness World Records were on site to confirm it has set a record for the world's largest ever Meccano construction.
The bridge was designed and built by a group of third year civil engineering students and school children.
The year-long project is part of the university's outreach programme to encourage more children to think about careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
Around 11,000 pieces of Meccano were used to build the bridge, which weighs 600kg (about 1,300lbs).
Dr Danny McPolin from the school of Planning, Architecture and Civil Engineering, who led the project, said: "If you count all the nuts and bolts and washers, there's approximately 70,000.
"In terms of the longer pieces, if they're all laid out end-to-end I think it would be about 3.8kms - approximately 10,000 or 11,000 pieces.
"So it's a lot of Meccano."
He added: "We see this event not only as an opportunity to celebrate the students' and staff's incredible work over the past year, but also a chance to give local children an insight into the exciting courses on offer at Queen's.
"We hope to welcome as many youngsters as possible on the day and cement their interest in studying civil engineering and other STEM subjects at university level."
The project has received funding from the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure, AECOM, Meccano and Queen's Annual Fund.
Karl McCartney, Tory MP for Lincoln, had denied using the "favourite" function on the social networking site, claiming his account had been hacked.
John Mann, Labour MP for Bassetlaw, wrote to police asking if they could establish who "favourited" the tweet.
Lincolnshire Police said no formal investigation was under way.
The "favourite" function allows Twitter users to show their appreciation for tweets and to bookmark them.
Mr McCartney's Labour rival Lucy Rigby highlighted a pornographic picture among his Twitter favourites last month, but was also criticised for retweeting the image.
Mr McCartney, who is married with two children, said in a statement that he never used the favourite button, despite there being 56 favourites on his page earlier.
He blamed Twitter's "security changes".
Writing to Lincolnshire Police chief constable Neil Rhodes, Mr Mann said it was "highly concerning" that someone had hacked Mr McCartney's account.
He said: "Constituents share personal and confidential details with their MPs and the hacker who had access to Mr McCartney's account would also have been privy to this information."
He asked whether an IP address could be traced in order to find out who had "favourited" tweets from Mr McCartney's account.
He asked for his letter to be processed as a formal complaint and requested a crime number from police.
A spokesman for Mr Mann insisted it was a "serious issue" for the MP as he was often contacted by vulnerable people through the direct message function on Twitter.
Mr McCartney said in a statement that he welcomed "the assiduous action of Mr Mann".
The two MPs, whose constituencies are not far from each other, have previously clashed.
In May, the Lincolnshire Echo reported that the Bassetlaw MP told the Lincoln MP he was not welcome to take part in off-road driving in his constituency, claiming it would endanger local people.
Mr McCartney called it a "typical over-reaction from Mr Mann".
Officers in Fife have been using so-called Pop-up Bob for two years to try to cut offending.
Officers in Tayside are now considering introducing the "officers".
Police Scotland said the life-size figures were not intended to replace "genuine resources" but act as a visual reminder to those tempted to speed.
The glass-fibre models show an officer from Cowdenbeath holding a speed camera.
The force said that the "Bobs" were designed to serve as a "prevention technique" to passing motorists.
Insp Tom Brown from Levenmouth Police Station said: "We utilise a life-size image of a police officer, which provides a visual reminder to motorists to ensure they drive in an appropriate manner.
"This prop is never used in place of genuine resources, and has previously been well-received by the local community."
Police Scotland said it had been "difficult to gauge" how effective the Bobs had been at preventing speeding.
However, similar attempts by officers in England to reduce crimes such as shoplifting using cutout officers have proved unsuccessful.
Douglas Pover from Perth and Kinross Council , who served as a police officer for 30 years, said any initiative that could bring down the number of accidents in the region was worth a try.
He said: "We've asked the police for a full evaluation to see if it's something that works as a deterrent.
"We're not advocating using it in place of real police officers, but if it can be seen to be worthwhile then we'll give it a go.
"We have the A9 and A90, as well as some rural roads where accident statistics can be quite high, and so if this is an effective way of stopping that then so be it."
The 39-year-old returned an adverse analytical finding of GHRP-2 in an out of competition test on 9 August.
The 2008 Olympic road race champion had been due to ride for BMC Racing at the Vuelta, which starts on Saturday.
He has been suspended by his team with immediate effect and replaced by Loic Vliegen in their Vuelta line-up.
"All riders and staff are held to the highest ethical standard and BMC Racing Team is extremely disappointed to share this news on the eve of the Vuelta," said the team in a statement.
They added "no further action will be taken" until the results of the B sample - which Sanchez has the right to request and attend the analysis of - are provided.
World cycling's governing body, the UCI, said the test was carried out by the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation, an independent entity in charge of the sport's anti-doping program.
Sanchez has won five stages of the Vuelta and finished runner-up in his home Grand Tour in 2009.
It was an attack in a highly symbolic place, next to the parliament, and against a key industry - tourism. The presidency said Tunisia was facing "exceptional circumstances".
But the attack was also an escalation of militant violence in Tunisia that had long been feared. As such, it was met with statements of resilience and determination that the country would not be thrown off course.
"It was a huge shock, Tunisia has never been like that - we're an open country," said Aida Ayari, a 37-year-old attending an anti-terrorism rally at the museum a day after the attack. "But we're not going to remain shocked."
As she and others pointed out, such attacks can - and have - happened elsewhere.
But Tunisia's political fortunes - it was the only country in the region to complete a democratic transition - and its secularist-led government may have made it more of a target for extremists.
And two problems make Tunisia especially vulnerable.
In Libya, its neighbour to the east, the state has been collapsing and huge quantities of arms have found their way out of the country.
In neglected border regions, Islamist militants have easily acquired those weapons after developing ties with criminal groups involved in arms and drugs trafficking.
Meanwhile, Islamist campaigns in Iraq and Syria have attracted disproportionately high numbers of Tunisian fighters, hundreds of whom have returned home.
Islamic State, which according to an audio message posted on Thursday said it had carried out the Tunis attack, has a growing presence in Libya - a country that was already serving as a training ground for fighters travelling on to the Middle East.
Some 1,500 Tunisians attached to the outlawed Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia and aligned with IS are thought to be training there, preparing to return to Tunisia and carve out a presence, said Badra Gaaloul, who heads a security think-tank in Tunis.
Counter-terrorism policy has failed to keep up as militants have changed their strategy, she said.
The militants have shown "that they're installed in our city and our neighbourhoods and can carry out attacks in broad daylight in a place where there's plenty of security".
Security and intelligence officials "realise how serious it is - that there's a great risk to Tunisia, but they lack co-ordination and experience", she added.
The Bardo museum is opposite a barracks and round the corner from the heavily guarded parliament building.
When police officers let demonstrators approach the museum little more than 24 hours after the attack, bloodstains still marked the ground and some marble paving at the entrance lay broken where an armoured vehicle had tried to back up to the building's glass doors.
A plain-clothes policeman said security forces had arrived quickly, but they had struggled to contain gunmen firing indiscriminately.
Protesters chanted about their dissatisfaction with both the current, secularist-led, government, and the previous, Islamist-led administration, blaming them for letting the attack happen.
Some deficiencies may be tackled by new anti-terrorism legislation that was ready for discussion at the very moment the attack began.
The draft law could assign police tasks to the military in urban areas, and give the security forces greater leeway to crack down on radicalisation.
Gaigi Afif, one of a group of black-robed lawyers who turned out to Thursday's anti-terrorism rally, said he hoped the law would give the authorities more scope to tap phones and make swift arrests.
"I don't think that the situation in Tunisia will automatically deteriorate, but we have to be much more vigilant," he said.
Tunisia remains polarised between staunch secularists - who tend to be drawn from the east coast, Francophone elite - and poorer, more religiously conservative populations in the south and the interior. The politics that result have hampered effective policy around Islamism.
But the international community could also help with counter-terrorism advice, training or technological support to monitor vast desert spaces on the Libyan border, Michael Bechir Ayari, an analyst for International Crisis Group, wrote in a briefing paper.
"The positive side of this tragedy is that it has awakened a sense of solidarity with Tunisia in its struggle to ensure that it avoids anything like the fate of its Libyan neighbour," he said.
"And if the world values what Tunisia has achieved since 2011, it needs to respond."

The former technical college has lain empty since 2006 when the adjoining Swindon College campus closed.
Site owner Ashfield Land has been granted planning permission to convert the building into 24 apartments.
Swindon Borough Council said planners agreed the move under delegated powers as its cabinet supported the proposals.
Ashfield Land's James Digby said work would begin on converting the building into apartments in early summer, with completion expected by late 2016.
The developer was also responsible for building the adjoining £50m Regent Circus leisure and retail complex, which fully opened in February.
Mr Digby said: "We are really pleased to get planning permission for the college building as it's the final phase of the redevelopment of Regent Circus."
The 39-year-old joined the club in June 2014 and leaves the Bully Wee sitting eighth in Scottish League Two.
Ferguson had described their match with Annan Athletic as a must-win if they were to retain hopes of a promotion play-off place, but they lost 1-0.
And Clyde said in a website statement on Sunday: "The board has today reluctantly accepted the resignation of first-team manager Barry Ferguson."
The Cumbernauld side have not won a league match since November and have lost eight of their last 10 games in the division.
They are now 14 points behind Annan, who are fourth - the final play-off spot.
Ferguson offered his resignation immediately after the defeat at Galabank, but he had been asked to reconsider.
"Despite a welcome run in the William Hill Scottish Cup, which ended with an agonising defeat to Championship side Ayr United in a fifth-round replay, both the manager and the club were disappointed with the recent poor run of league results, often not reflecting the effort and standard of play, which culminated in the defeat at Annan," added Clyde's statement.
"That result leaves the club with only an outside chance of achieving the objective of securing a play-off place and then promotion to League One.
"The club would like to thank Barry for his unstinting commitment to the job over the last two and a half years and wishes him every success in the future."
Capped 45 times, Ferguson skippered Rangers and also played for Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City and Blackpool.
He had a short spell as caretaker manager with Blackpool before joining Clyde.
His team lost out in the promotion play-off final last season after a third-place finish, having ended up sixth in his debut campaign as a coach.
Ferguson told Clyde's website: "I want to wish the club all the very best in the future.
"I hope that it can go on and achieve its aim of reaching the play-offs this season."
Clyde have not revealed who will take over coaching duties but promised another statement ahead of Tuesday's league match against Montrose at Broadwood.
Former-marine Patsy Cullen, 94, of Swansea, will be presented with the Legion d'honneur from France in the town on Thursday.
All surviving D-Day veterans are being recognised by the French government.
Mr Cullen was in a "ghost" unit that seized prisoners and intelligence before they could be destroyed.
He was part of the 30 Assault Unit - co-created by Fleming when he was a Lt Cdr in the Royal Navy - which went ahead of the main forces.
"We had to be first in to get the information before the leaving troops could destroy it," he said, adding his unit captured 100 prisoners in Paris.
Mr Cullen and his fellow veterans are being honoured for their "steadfast involvement in the liberation of France".
Belgium have replaced Wales at the top of Group B after Marouane Fellaini's goal secured a 1-0 win in Israel.
But Belgium's captain, Manchester City defender Kompany, will be suspended for the qualifier in Cardiff on 12 June after he was sent off against Israel.
"Losing Kompany, it doesn't get any better [for Wales]," said Thomas.
He added: "Hopefully we can exploit that weakness at the back."
Former Belgium and Tottenham Hotspur striker Nico Claesen expressed his concern about Kompany's absence.
"I hope we can manage to find someone else to replace him," said Claesen, who played at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
"We have to think positive and [coach] Marc Wilmots has to find a solution."
Kompany was sent off for a second booking, which ex-Tottenham Hotspur player Claesen described as "very stupid".
Belgium's win in Jerusalem saw them replace Wales as Group B leaders on goal difference.
Wales had been top of the group following Saturday's 3-0 win in Israel and despite losing top spot, Thomas believes Chris Coleman's side will qualify for the finals in France next summer.
"We can beat Belgium," former Manchester United winger Thomas added.
"We have Gareth Bale who's unstoppable, so is [Aaron] Ramsey and so is [Joe] Allen. We're looking powerful.
"That 3-0 victory in Israel for me cemented our position in that table. I think we're favourites at this moment in time.
"It might be just falling into place for the Welsh national side."
Both sides will go into the game in Cardiff unbeaten after five qualifiers.
Wales secured a 0-0 draw against World Cup quarter-finalists Belgium in Brussels in November.
The crash happened on the A96, near Ardgye House in Elgin, at about 15:.45 on Saturday.
The 59-year-old cyclist was taken by ambulance to Dr Gray's Hospital in the town. The driver of the silver Volkswagen Transporter van was not hurt.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
A spokesman said both the cyclist and the van were heading east when the accident happened.
The A96 was closed after the incident to allow investigations to be carried out.
Giovanni Vantaggiato, 69, was convicted by the court in the southern city of Brindisi, where the attack took place.
Prosecutor Cataldo Motta said Vantaggiato had wanted to "intimidate his country".
The attack on 19 May 2012 - which killed 16-year-old Melissa Bassi - sent shockwaves across Italy.
Vantaggiato admitted carrying out the bombing, without giving a motive.
However, he is believed to have been in financial difficulties at the time.
The bomb, placed in a waste bin, exploded as students were arriving for morning classes at the Morivllo Falcone school.
Melissa Bassi was killed and nine other people were injured, some seriously.
Television footage of the scene later showed a concrete wall blackened by fire next to the school's entrance gate, while broken glass and other debris litter the pavement.
The school is named after Judge Francesca Morvillo Falcone, a victim of a notorious Mafia bombing in Sicily nearly 20 years ago.
She was killed along with her husband, anti-Mafia judge Giovanni Falcone, on 23 May 1992.
Currently economy and transport minister, Mrs Hart's previous posts included local government and health.
Mrs Thomas has been deputy social services minister, chaired committees and led a safeguarding children review.
The announcements follow news that Labour Llanelli AM Keith Davies is also leaving Cardiff Bay next year.
All three AMs are expected to tell their constituency Labour parties of their decision to stand down on Friday evening.
Mrs Hart said it had been an "honour and a privilege" to serve her constituency for 16 years.
"I am very grateful for the support they have given me during this time, and I will continue to represent their views vigorously until the end of the assembly term next year," she added.
Mrs Thomas said: "It has been a privilege to be part of Wales' political journey, but most of all, I am happy to have had the chance to work for communities I love and call home."
First Minister Carwyn Jones paid tribute to the women, and added: "I know that for both Gwenda and Edwina, representing their 'home' areas was incredibly important to them - and both Neath and Gower are losing very talented and passionate advocates."
A major figure on the Welsh political scene, Mrs Hart showed leadership when she took the decision to dramatically shrink the number of health boards in 2008, just five years after a previous reorganisation under a predecessor.
But she lost out to Carwyn Jones in the battle for Welsh Labour's top job a year later.
More recently, she has been at the centre of a major row over plans for an M4 relief road, the decision on which will now be taken by another minister after the election.
The announcement by Mrs Hart that she is leaving the Senedd follows a shock general election result in her Gower constituency.
Labour lost a seat it had held for more than a century to the Conservatives.
Also an AM since the assembly's creation in 1999, Mrs Thomas has been regarded as a strong voice for her Neath constituency, offering support to the local community at the time of the Gleision mine disaster.
As a deputy minister, she steered a major piece of legislation overhauling social services through the assembly and also chaired the housing and equal opportunities committees.
The departure of Mrs Hart and Mrs Thomas from Cardiff Bay, in addition to Mr Davies, means the Labour benches in the Senedd will look rather different in 2016, regardless of the outcome of the assembly poll.
Higgins recorded breaks of 104 and 103 and levelled the match three times.
But Welshman Day clinched his place in the quarter-finals by sinking a final-frame black for a 4-3 win in Llandudno.
"It was a bit of an awkward clearance, which I managed to hold myself together and make it through. It was an enjoyable match to be involved in and one I'm pleased to win," said Day.
World Snooker Grand Prix Schedule and results
With Mark Williams, Michael White and Jamie Jones all out, Day is the only Welshman left in the tournament.
He'll take on world champion and world number two Stuart Bingham on Friday.
Bingham beat defending champion Judd Trump 4-2 and both players complained of ill health afterwards.
Trump said he had tonsillitis while Bingham revealed he would be going back to bed because of flu symptoms.
Ding Junhui beat Peter Ebdon 4-0, while Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh won 4-2 against Mark Allen.
Ding and Un-Nooh will face each other in the first quarter-final at 13:00 GMT on Friday.

Simeone is considered one of the world's top managers after leading Atletico to the La Liga title in 2013-14 and two Champions League finals.
He said: "We are fine. I'm happy here. I am guided by feelings and my heart."
Simeone, who has also won the Europa League and Copa del Rey with Atletico, added: "This does not change anything, and the only thing is to see if the lads keep giving me their hearts.
"During the two years we can renew the deal, if they don't want to get rid of me."
It will replace the heavily criticised Money Advice Service (MAS) as well as two pension advice services.
The government thinks a single advisory body will be more efficient but has yet to decide how the new service will actually work.
The abolition of the MAS was announced in the Budget in March.
It was criticised for failing to help those who needed it most and paying its staff too much.
Like the MAS, the new organisation will be paid for by a levy on financial services companies.
The new body will also take on the roles of the Pensions Advisory Service, and Pension Wise - an organisation set up in response to pension reforms introduced in 2015.
The government looked at setting up two bodies to replace the MAS and pensions services. But industry and consumer finance groups raised concerns over how they would work together effectively.
The new body as yet has no name and there is no timetable for its creation.
Pensions minister Richard Harrington said: "A single guidance body will be more efficient and will help consumers make the right financial decisions. We are committed to ensuring people can access the best free and impartial financial guidance possible."
The MAS was set up to help people who face problem debt to find the help they need, to help consumers understand financial services and to make better decisions. Various money-management tools are available on its website.
It came under fire for duplicating work already provided in the private and charitable sectors and for failing to reach those who needed its help the most.
Inquiries by the Commons Treasury Select Committee and National Audit Office raised questions about the value for money and effectiveness of its consumer finance education role.
It was set up in 2010 in response to a review which estimated 19 million people in the UK would benefit from generic financial help.
Pension Wise was established alongside retirement freedoms introduced in 2015. It aims to help people approaching retirement decide what to do with their money.
The Pensions Advisory Service also offers free and impartial pensions guidance.
Mr Zuma, the chief mediator in Zimbabwe's 2008-9 political crisis, said only he was authorised to comment ahead of the 31 July elections.
His envoy, Lindiwe Zulu, said last week that electoral preparations were "not looking good".
Zimbabwe's president then asked Mr Zuma to stop "this woman" from commenting.
President Mugabe is seeking to extend his 33-year rule and will face Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai at the ballot box.
The two long-time rivals have been sharing power since 2009, under a deal brokered by Mr Zuma.
A statement from Mr Zuma's office said that some of the comments made about Zimbabwe had been unauthorised, unfortunate and inaccurate.
The statement did not refer to Ms Zulu by name.
She has previously said the elections should be postponed from 31 July, prompting Mr Mugabe to call her "stupid and idiotic".
Two days of early voting for members of Zimbabwe's security forces last week saw many logistical problems, such as a lack of ballot papers, raising fears that the election will not go smoothly.
After Ms Zulu's comments last week, Mr Mugabe said:
"That persistent negative voice from South Africa... could it please be stopped?" the state-owned Herald newspaper reports.
"I appeal to President Zuma to stop this woman of theirs from speaking on Zimbabwe. We were given one facilitator with one mouth and that is President Zuma himself; that's the voice, the only voice we want to hear."
The election is the first to be held since a new constitution was approved in a referendum in March.
However, some of Mr Tsvangirai's long-standing demands such as reform of the state media and security forces, seen as supporting Mr Mugabe, have not yet been implemented.
Last week, a South Africa-based satellite TV station aimed at Zimbabwe, 1st TV, was launched, prompting strong protests from Mr Mugabe's allies.
More women were raped in Delhi than in any other of India's large cities in 2012, according to the National Crime Records Bureau in its latest figures.
It says that the city of Delhi, home to 7.5 million women, recorded 585 cases of rape in 2012, compared with a total of 484 cases from the cities of Mumbai (232 cases), Calcutta (68), Chennai (94) and Bangalore (90 cases). Delhi, Mumbai and Calcutta are megacities with populations of more than 10 million people.
Delhi also recorded the highest number of crimes against women out of the big cities: the capital accounted for 14.18% of crimes against women out of 53 cities surveyed in its latest report.
The report said 5,194 cases of crimes against women were reported from Delhi during 2012, up from 4,489 cases in 2011.
As far as India is concerned, 244,270 incidents of crimes against women were reported from all over the country last year.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus in December. The gang-rape of the student sparked widespread protests and prompted the government to alter laws relating to rape in India.
It is common knowledge that many incidents of rape and other crimes against women go unreported.
But, going by recent reports, most cities are seeing an increase in recorded cases after the tragedy in Delhi and the introduction of new anti-rape laws.
So this year's figures of crimes against women in Delhi - and the rest of India - which will be announced in 2014, will be far more significant than the latest set.
I will be surprised if we didn't see a sharp rise in incidents of all crimes against women, helping us to understand better how bad the situation is.
But more significantly, the figures for 2103 will also begin to tell us whether the new anti-rape laws have spurred more victims to report crimes and the police to record and investigate them with alacrity.

The move is to counter claims a Labour government would lack legitimacy if it won fewer seats than the Conservatives.
Senior Labour sources say such a coalition would have collectively more seats than the Conservatives.
They hope this might give an Ed Miliband-led administration greater legitimacy in the eyes of voters.
Labour could form the next government even if it has fewer MPs than the Tories and both parties have no majority.
What matters constitutionally is not which party comes first or second, but which can command the confidence of the House of Commons with the support of other parties.
Some Tory ministers have begun to argue that it would be illegitimate for Labour to form a government if it "came second" behind the Conservatives - in an attempt to shape the agenda for the day after the election if no party wins outright, the Tories win most seats and David Cameron tries to stay on in Downing Street.
But Labour sources say that a coalition with the Lib Dems would not only give an Ed Miliband minority government greater legitimacy, it would also give it greater stability.
They say that while coalition would not give Labour a majority in the House of Commons, it would give the government the ability to out-vote the Conservatives regularly whenever the SNP abstain.
They also say that coalition with the Lib Dems would make it much easier for a Labour-led government to get its business through the House of Lords where no party has a majority and where 102 Lib Dem peers are a key swing vote.
The inability to overturn defeats in the House of Lords has been one of the biggest difficulties faced by minority governments in the past.
There would be many hurdles to be overcome before any Labour-Lib Dem minority government could be formed.
It would be accused by opponents of being a "coalition of the losers".
Many Lib Dems would be opposed to minority coalition: not only would the party have to compromise yet again on its policies in return for power, but it would also have even less chance of getting its own policies implemented.
A Labour spokesman said: "This is post-election speculation. Every hour until polls close we are going to spend on winning a Labour majority.
"We are focused only on winning a Labour majority."
A Lib Dem spokesman said: "If there is a hung parliament we will do what we did last time: seek to work in the national interest to provide stable government and deliver the policies we believe will help to build a stronger economy and a fairer society.
"As last time, it is right that the party with the biggest mandate from the British people - the most votes and the most seats - should be given the first opportunity to reach out to other parties.
"It is clear that no party will win the election outright.
"Voting for Liberal Democrat MPs will keep Britain on track and not allow the Tories or Labour lurch off to the extremes of left or right."

Last Saturday's incident, when dormitories were burned down at a boarding school in western Kenya, was one of many this year.
But it caught people's attention as it appeared to be the result of anger that students were not allowed to watch a live broadcast of a Euro 2016 football match.
Many thought that there must be a more profound reason.
This week alone, there have been four other school fires, and media reports say there have been at least 16 fire incidents in schools in western Kenya this year, mostly around Kisii.
Kenyans have been debating the issue on social media and radio talk shows.
Some suggest that this is a matter of indiscipline, caused by poor parenting, and that caning should be reintroduced.
Kenya banned corporal punishment in 2001.
The experts and politicians are also looking into the issue and offering their own solutions.
Kenya's Standard newspaper reports that education officials have identified several reasons behind the school unrest.
These include:
There was also the suggestion that some teachers may have been involved in the planning of the attacks.
Kenya's Education Minister Fred Matiang'i joined the chorus of people blaming parents for the indiscipline.
He said they should take responsibility for "instilling the right values" and prevent students from taking antisocial behaviour into schools.
On a visit to the school affected on Saturday, Mr Matiang'i said the parents of those behind the arson should pay for the damage.
Deputy President William Ruto proposed his own solutions, calling for student mentoring and more prayers in schools.
Meanwhile, some local education officials have blamed politicians for not being good role models.
John Mugo, head of education charity Twaweza, believes the problem lies with poorly prepared teachers.
He told the BBC that indiscipline was the result of the absence of guidance to teachers on how to manage students' behaviour.
"The government banned caning in schools and has failed to introduce alternative ways of dealing with indiscipline," he added.
He also thinks that the ministry of education, school management and students are not properly communicating with each other.
As if to underline how serious and difficult the problem is, on Monday, hours after the education minister visited a school to talk about arson there was a fire in one of its dormitories.
The Nation newspaper reported that school officials blamed an electrical fault rather than student action.
Fires were also reported at two other schools on Wednesday but the causes are yet to be established.
As Kenyans mull over who or what to blame for the worrying and frequent cases of school fires, a Facebook post which has been widely shared suggests that there is a yawning generation gap that will never be bridged.
"The average high school student does not know what [Minister] Matiang'i looks like, and they don't care... They wouldn't listen to authority from Nairobi even if it came with a fire-breathing dragon."

Residents of Pakenham, a suburb of Melbourne, have reportedly found the unmarked sticks in the boxes.
Plugging them into a computer triggers fraudulent media-streaming service offers, as well as other malware, the force said in a statement.
The devices are "extremely harmful" and should not be used, police say.
It is not uncommon for USB sticks to be used to carry and transmit destructive malware and viruses to computers.
Cybersecurity experts have called the technology "critically flawed", and in 2014 demonstrated to the BBC how any USB device could be used to infect a computer without the user's knowledge.
Berlin-based researchers Karsten Nohl and Jakob Lell said a device that appeared to be completely empty could still contain a virus.
Stuxnet, one of the most sophisticated known pieces of malware, was deployed to attack Iranian nuclear centrifuges. It is believed to have been carried on an infected USB stick.
The virus infected the internal network of computers running Windows, and attacked Siemens industrial control software in order to over-ride the system.
Andrew Tierney, consultant at cybersecurity firm Pen Test Partners, said the use of infected USB sticks to target households was very rare.
"However, it's still a common form of attacking businesses, where the gains are much greater," he said.
"Most cybercriminals are looking for volume, so it's much easier to get hold of people's information by phishing. It's unclear whether the devices were sent in the post, but putting a USB stick in someone's letterbox by visiting the property and potentially getting your fingerprints on them creates a much greater risk of getting caught."
The University of Illinois conducted an experiment earlier this year, dropping 297 USB drives around its campus. Had the sticks been infected, the attack would have had an estimated success rate of between 45% and 98%, the study found.
"You'd be surprised at how many people would fall for plugging an unknown USB stick into their computer. Some users may become distrustful at the stage only when the software asks them to download a program, but Word files can still be harmful," said Mr Tierney.

The January festival of music and culture in Glasgow features concerts, ceilidhs and talks over 18 days.
Those taking part include Rickie Lee Jones, Lucinda Williams, The Unthanks, Karine Polwart and Robert Plant.
Speaking as the programme was launched, Ian Smith of Creative Scotland said Celtic Connections was "one of Scotland's creative treasures".
Artistic Director Donald Shaw said: "For 2016, we are bringing superstars and cult heroes, new talent, and artists who were legends long before the first Celtic Connections was staged.
"This year we weave stories of pilgrimage, of crossing continents, we celebrate anniversaries and the Auld Alliance."
Ian Smith of Creative Scotland added: "Celtic Connections is one of the world's great music festivals and to have established such a global presence in a comparatively short time underlines its place as one of Scotland's creative treasures.
"Every January we gather in Glasgow in mid-winter to be thrilled and inspired by great music from around the world, but with its roots and traditions firmly in Scotland.
"With Showcase Scotland at its core, Celtic Connections represents all that is great about Scotland's cultural identity expressed so brilliantly through its music."

Paul Mansell was arrested after allegations of inappropriate contact first emerged in 2008, a professional conduct panel heard.
No further action was taken. In 2013, while teaching in Lichfield, it emerged Mr Mansell had exchanged messages on Snapchat with another pupil.
The panel issued a prohibition order after finding three allegations proved.
The National College for Teaching and Leadership hearing in Coventry was told Mr Mansell admitted exchanging messages with a girl in 2013 while teaching at Friary School in Lichfield.
He also admitted using the pseudonym "Steve Baker" to message the girl on Snapchat, which, the panel said, was to "conceal the fact" he was contacting her.
Mr Mansell further admitted exchanging messages on MSN with a second girl around 2007, around the time he was working at Perryfields High School, Oldbury, as part of a Graduate Teacher Programme.
Allegations of sending inappropriate images to the first pupil, and engaging in inappropriate physical contact with her, were not proved.
The panel said that Mr Mansell was a "competent teacher and well-regarded by his colleagues".
It added that while a prohibition order would be "potentially devastating" for Mr Mansell, "the reputation of the profession was more important".
The notes are made from small amounts of tallow, derived from animal waste products, which has angered a number of groups who are against animal harm.
Vibhooti Acharya, president of one of Leicester's largest temples, said it has caused "anger" among Hindus.
She said the temple's committee was considering a ban on the notes.
About 90,000 people have signed a petition calling for tallow to be removed from bank notes.
The fatty substance is traditionally derived from beef or mutton and sometimes pork, at the slaughterhouse or later in the food production process.
Donations are taken at the Shree Sanatan Mandir temple for charitable causes in the community.
Ms Acharya, from the temple, said the revelation has been a source of "frustration" among Hindus as hurting animals is against their beliefs.
She said: "No-one was informed and it's been thrown upon us. We don't have the opportunity to choose.
"There needs to be a decision made between committee as to whether we accept five pound notes in religious ceremonies in future.
"We have to give a reasonable amount of time for resolve, [but] we can't really take any drastic steps because it's just not practical."
She said the temple will encourage people not to bring in the fivers as charitable donations and will put up notices to make them aware.
However, Ms Acharya said it was a "matter of choice" and the temple will accept them for now.
Leicester has one of the largest populations of Hindus in England and Wales and holds one of the biggest Diwali celebrations outside India.

Karen Buckley, 24, was studying occupational therapy at Glasgow Caledonian University when she was killed by Alexander Pacteau last year.
Pacteau, 21, was ordered to serve at least 23 years in prison after admitting her murder.
Ms Buckley's degree was accepted by her father John during a ceremony in Glasgow.
A spokeswoman for Glasgow Caledonian University said: "During Glasgow Caledonian University's winter graduation ceremonies, Karen Buckley was awarded a posthumous master of science in occupational therapy.
"Her family have asked that her achievements can be celebrated privately."
Pacteau pleaded guilty to murdering Ms Buckley in the early hours of Sunday 12 April 2015
Ms Buckley, who was 24 and from Cork in Ireland, had moved to Glasgow in February that year to study at Glasgow Caledonian University.
On the night she was murdered, Ms Buckley had been to a nightclub in Glasgow's west end with friends.
In the early hours of Sunday morning she told them she was going to the toilet but did not return or collect her jacket.
Pacteau was seen on CCTV images talking to her before they walked off to his car, which he drove to nearby Kelvin Way.
The car was parked on the street for 12 minutes, during which time Pacteau attacked and murdered her by grabbing her neck and delivering 12 or 13 blows with the spanner.
Pacteau's silver Ford Focus was seen on CCTV leaving the area and heading towards Dawsholm Park, where the following morning a member of the public found Ms Buckley's handbag near a bin.
Four days after she was reported missing, the student's body was found inside a barrel that Pacteau had stored at High Craigton Farm, near Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire.
Pacteau later pleaded guilty to Ms Buckley's murder as police built an overwhelming case against him.

It is characterised by "self-censorship, intimidation, and legal sanctions", US-based Freedom House reports. The NGO says President Correa and other officials have targeted journalists and media outlets with aggressive rhetoric.
Defamation is a criminal offence. A 2013 Communications Law provides for regulation of editorial content and gives officials the power to sanction media outlets.

Bruce, 50, becomes the first Premier League boss to lose his job this season after two wins in the first 13 games.
"It is my job to act in the best interests of our football club and I can assure everyone that this is not a decision that I have taken lightly," said chairman Ellis Short.
"Sadly results this season have simply not been good enough and I feel the time is right to make a change."
Assistant manager Eric Black will take charge of first team duties as the club searches for a new manager.
Bookmakers have installed former Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill as the early favourite to replace the ex-Manchester United defender, with Mark Hughes, Rafa Benitez and Guus Hiddink also figuring prominently in the betting.
Bruce joined the Black Cats from Wigan Athletic in the summer of 2009 and led the club to a 10th place finish in the Premier League last season.
However, the Stadium of Light side were sixth at the end of January after opening the year with three wins and one draw.

They then sold striker Darren Bent to Aston Villa in a deal which could rise to £24m and results took a turn for the worse.
The team struggled to score goals and matters were compounded when £13m signing Asamoah Gyan left the club in September - Bruce claiming "parasites" turned Gyan's head after his goal in the 1-1 draw with England at Wembley in March.
Bruce brought in a raft of new signings over the summer, but the Black Cats have slumped to within two points of the relegation zone this season, and Short acted quickly to stop the rot.

"Steve has acted with honesty and integrity throughout, which is testament to the character and commitment he has shown during his time at Sunderland," Short added.
"I would like to personally place on record my thanks to him for his significant contribution to our football club over the past two and a half years and everyone here at Sunderland naturally wishes him the very best for the future.
"I would also like to thank our fans, who have endured a trying start to the season. Their support continues to be the driving force behind our club and is vital as we now look to the future."
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, former Sunderland striker Kevin Phillips believes the players should take some of the blame for Bruce's dismissal.
"At the end of the day the players need to look at themselves," he said. "Steve has brought in a lot of players for a lot of money and they haven't responded for him.
"The fans have got frustrated and taken that out on Steve and ultimately it is the manager who always pays the price."
Bruce started his managerial career at Sheffield United in 1998 before spells with Huddersfield Town, Wigan Athletic (twice), Crystal Palace and Birmingham City.
In 98 games in charge of Sunderland, his team won 29 matches, drew 28 and lost 41.
Former Sunderland defender Michael Gray told BBC Radio 5 live: "Go back to the summer and Sunderland brought in 10 new players, and we kept saying week after week the players are still gelling. But how long do you need?
"We are 13 games into the Premier League and everybody's expectations were for the top 10 this season and we are nowhere near that.
"Somebody else is going to take the reins but they need to get us looking up the table rather than looking down."
The idea was proposed by the Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny.
However it appeared to have been dropped this week after the DUP gave it a cool response.
Ms Villiers said co-operation between the Irish and British Governments alongside the Executive was vital.
She added the current North South Bodies were working well, advising "I haven't seen a case for a fresh body to be added to the current structures".
She has also denied the Chancellor of the Exchequer's announcement that he was going to cut Corporation Tax across the UK to below 15 per cent was a blow to Northern Ireland,
She described it as a "big plus" and a "tremendous opportunity".
"It makes 12.5% for Northern Ireland more affordable for the Executive to deliver," she added.
The report in the New England Journal of Medicine found two-thirds of men had Ebola in their semen up to six months after infection, and a quarter after nine.
A separate study, in the same journal, reports Ebola being spread through sex with a survivor six months after their symptoms had started.
Men who have survived Ebola are being encouraged to wear condoms.
Previous outbreaks of Ebola had shown the virus was present in semen for 82 days after the onset of symptoms.
However, with huge numbers of Ebola-survivors now in West Africa, there is concern about how long the virus persists and if that poses a threat.
One study, led by the US Army Medical Research Institute, documents the first "evidence of sexual transmission of Ebola virus".
The researchers analysed the genetic code of the virus in a man's semen and the blood of his female partner in Liberia and showed it was "consistent with direct transmission".
The analysis reported "infective Ebola virus" was in the man's semen for at least 179 days after the onset of symptoms.
Meanwhile, a team in Sierra Leone tracked a 93 male survivors and found traces of Ebola virus in the semen of:
The virus was not detected in the only man tested 10 months after symptoms started.
The doctors report concluded: "We do not yet have data on the extent to which positivity [on the test] is associated with virus infectivity".
The men will continue to be followed up and samples are being taken to determine if the virus is live.
The World Health Organization said sexual transmission was "rare" and pointed to areas of Sierra Leone that have very high numbers of survivors and yet have had no recurrences.
Margaret Chan, the director general of the WHO, told the BBC there was still doubt about what a positive test result meant.
She said: "Does it mean they are still infectious or are they just fragments? We don't have the definitive evidence yet.
"The degree of uncertainty is worrying, that's why we need to take precautionary measures, so we advise survivors to take protection through contraception."
Prof David Heymann, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "Condoms should be used as a precautionary measure until better understanding is gained through long-term study.
"This must be done in a way that prevents discrimination, and sociologists must work with health promotion teams and community leaders, as well as survivor groups, so that language is understandable and not offensive.
"Past outbreaks have not been reignited by survivors, but numbers have been small, and no sexual transmission was recorded prior to the current outbreaks."
According to the WHO, sexual transmission of the Ebola virus from females to males is less probable, but theoretically possible.

The seven-year-old elephant, named Donna, whipped her favourite treat from the royal couple's hands at the official opening of the Bedfordshire attraction's new £2 million centre for elephant care on Tuesday 11 April.
The new facility will care for a full herd of nine Asian elephants, which are considered endangered due to habitat loss, poaching and human conflict.

Kevin Johnstone, of Llanelli, slipped amphetamine into Tony Jones's drink while they were working on a building site, Swansea Crown Court heard.
Mr Jones was taken to hospital complaining of heart pain.
Johnstone, 41, pleaded guilty to unlawfully and maliciously causing amphetamines to be administered and was warned he could be jailed.
The court heard Johnstone thought it would be "a good joke" to watch his colleague react to the drug.
Prosecutor Helen Randall said he offered to make his colleague a cup of hot chocolate, put some amphetamines into the drink, stirred it in and then handed it to him.
"Soon after finishing his drink the victim complained of feeling unwell and that his 'heart was racing'," she said.
Defence barrister James Jenkins said Mr Jones's condition "was not life threatening at anytime".
"It's a joke that went wrong. It wasn't intended to do any harm. He now realises, like anyone would, that there is no humour in it," he added.
Recorder Elwen Evans QC warned Johnstone he is likely to face prison.
He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on Wednesday.
Richard Huckle, 30, from Ashford in Kent, admitted committing the offences against victims aged between six months and 12 years between 2006 and 2014.
The Old Bailey heard that when he told his parents what he had done, they called the police.
The 91 charges against him relate to 23 children from mainly poor communities in Kuala Lumpur.
He admitted 71 of the charges and the prosecutor asked that the other counts "lie on file".
It is believed Huckle abused up to 200 children.
He boasted about his crimes on the "dark web", saying in one online discussion that "impoverished kids are definitely much easier to seduce than middle-class Western kids."
Huckle, a freelance photographer, was arrested at Gatwick Airport by National Crime Agency officials in December 2014.
Prosecutor Brian O'Neill QC told the court that Huckle refused to answer officers' questions and his computer equipment was seized.
He was bailed on condition he return to his parents' home. The next day his mother asked him about the allegations and he admitted he had had sex with children aged between three and 13.
By Angus Crawford, BBC News
One word and a freckle indirectly led to Richard Huckle's arrest.
Police in Australia and Europe were aware of a paedophile site called the Love Zone hidden in the so-called dark web. It was protected by passwords, encryption and specialist software. Users were totally anonymous.
The images and videos there were particularly disturbing - showing the abuse of babies and very young children.

Mohammed Abdul Kadir, 24, fled the UK thee days after Jalal Uddin, 71, was bludgeoned to death in Rochdale, in February, Manchester Crown Court heard.
It is alleged the imam was murdered by Mr Kadir and Mohammed Hussain Syeedy who "hated his form of Islam".
Mr Syeedy, 21, of Ramsay Street, Rochdale, denies murder.
The Crown said Mr Uddin was attacked by Kadir as he walked through a children's play area in Rochdale, on 18 February.
The prosecution said Mr Kadir, of Chamber Road, Oldham, boarded a flight from Manchester to Copenhagen, Denmark, on 21 February and from there flew to Istanbul.
His whereabouts are unknown although it is thought he may have travelled onwards to Syria, the jury was told.
Mr Syeedy is alleged to have acted as the getaway driver on the night of the attack with the prosecution saying he knew full well that Kadir intended to kill or seriously harm Mr Uddin.
The court has been told the pair "hated" Mr Uddin, a Bangladeshi national, after discovering he practised Ruqya healing, which involves the use of amulets to bring good luck to the wearers.
The jury heard that IS considered such practises as forbidden and that the terror group had beheaded magicians.
Expert witness, Robert Gleave, professor of Arabic studies at the University of Exeter, told the court some fabric patches for clothing and flags found in Mr Syeedy's bedroom - some with images of a Kalashnikov rifle - had jihadist connotations.
And he added some were "almost exclusively associated with Isis".

The trial continues.
The care, already "unfit for purpose", is becoming even worse, a letter signed by 400 dentists, in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, adds.
It says the creation by international charity Dentaid of a service for vulnerable patients in West Yorkshire is a sign of the mounting problems.
NHS England said services were improving.
An NHS England spokeswoman said: "These claims are wrong - more patients are getting the dental care they need, and 93% of people got an NHS dental appointment when they wanted one in the last 24 months."
The letter urges ministers to be "fully open and transparent" about the limitations of current provision.
The fact Dentaid, normally associated with providing care in the Third World, is now offering emergency care to homeless people, migrants and the low paid in Kirklees "serves to demonstrate the lack of a proper national dental service", it says.
The letter also calls the levels of tooth decay in children a "national disgrace".
Figures published last year by the Health and Social Care Information Centre showed nearly half of eight-year-olds and a third of five-year-olds had signs of decay in their milk teeth.
The Children's Dental Health Survey for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, carried out every 10 years, also found 46% of 15-year-olds had decay in their teeth - although that represented an improvement on the previous survey.
The petrol bomb was thrown through the window of a house at Ballysally Road, Coleraine, on Thursday at 23:00 GMT.
Police said a front window on the house was smashed and the bomb was thrown in but it did not ignite.
A woman in her 30s was inside the house at the time. Police have appealed for information.
The ex-EastEnders actress was in a pantomime in the Suffolk town when the murders were taking place.
The bodies of five women - all of them sex workers - were found near Ipswich over a 10-day period.
Dobson can clearly recall the atmosphere in the town. "The streets were deserted. You could walk home and not see a soul. The theatre got taxis to get the chorus girls home.
"It was very hard to get people to see a happy, family Christmas show when those poor prostitutes were being murdered.
"Once they'd found [the killer, Steve Wright], the streets filled up and people spilled on to them with a great sense of relief and joy."
The film is based on the 2011 hit stage musical at the National Theatre. Dobson plays June - one of the residents of London Road, who were shocked to find a serial killer was living in the community.
The ensemble cast includes Olivia Colman, Tom Hardy, Rosalie Craig and Kate Fleetwood.
The film reunites the stage musical's original team - writer Alecky Blythe, musician Adam Cork and director Rufus Norris.
What makes London Road unusual is that it tells its story using only real dialogue spoken by people in Ipswich at the time, set to a musical score.
Blythe, who specialises in verbatim theatre, had gone to the town in the winter of 2006 after hearing reports that a serial killer was at large. The voices she recorded included those of local residents, sex workers and members of the media who reported the story and the subsequent murder trial.
She found a focus for the story when she read a local newspaper report about a resident, Julie (played by Colman), who had organised a floral competition on London Road in the aftermath of the murders.
Throughout the film shoot, Blythe ensured the actors kept to her verbatim script, which included all the original verbal tics.
"It's quite an odd form of theatre but strangely exhilarating," says Dobson. "When you've cracked it you feel very proud of yourself.
"It has a strange rhythm to it because you don't just say the dialogue - you include every cough and long pause that's there."
While on set, Dobson also got to meet the real June - who died earlier this year - on whom her character was based.
"She was very vibrant - she always looked very neat and tidy, she smoked like a trooper. She had a joyous spirit."
As someone who was in Ipswich at the time, what did Dobson make of the musical treatment of such harrowing events?
"When I heard they were doing the stage musical I did think, 'Oh, is it not a bit too soon?' But what they did at the National Theatre was they invited in people who lived on that street so they could see what was going on. They were never kept out of the process."
What will audiences make of the film? "People are innately curious. A lot of people who went to the musical went to see it again. A lot have talked about what a cathartic experience it was. It shows people triumphing over adversity.
"For me doing the film was a strange piece of closure," Dobson adds. "It's incredibly moving - and you feel that out of something awful something good has come. The girls got off the streets and drugs and the area got cleaned up."
London Road premieres on 9 June via NT Live and is on general release on 12 June.
Police said a 15-year-old boy was arrested in connection with incidents in Glasgow, Clydebank, Campbeltown and Lanarkshire.
A spokesperson said: "Police Scotland takes hoax calls extremely seriously. They divert police resources and cause disruption and alarm to the public."
A report will be sent to the Scottish Children's Reporter Administrator.
The boy is not being held in custody.
Pupils were moved out of some school buildings for a time after a spate of hoax calls across Scotland last week.
At the time, Police Scotland said the threats were "not credible" but some sites were evacuated temporarily as a precaution.
Holly Parkinson was one of the midwives caring for newborn Joshua Titcombe at Barrow's Furness General hospital in November 2008.
She faced being struck off by the Nursing and Midwifery Council after being found to have committed a string of errors.
These included not reporting Joshua's low temperature to doctors.
Joshua was one of 11 babies to die after being treated at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust over a nine-year period.
Mrs Parkinson was among a number of employees investigated after an inquest five years ago heard staff repeatedly missed chances to spot and treat a serious infection which led to Joshua's death after just nine days.
Mrs Parkinson will now be unable to practise for nine months, after which her case will be reviewed.
She has apologised to the baby's family but, eight years later, remains in denial about her role in what happened, a panel at the hearing in London was told.
Joshua, from Dalton-in-Furness, died after suffering pneumococcal septicaemia and a lung haemorrhage.
A hearing last month found Mrs Parkinson, who had been working as a midwife for five years at the time, failed in her duty to look after him properly, causing him to "lose a significant chance of survival".
She did not get a doctor when she recorded Joshua's low temperature, and admitted failing to document advice that observations should be carried out on the newborn.
The failures denied Joshua "any opportunity to be seen, assessed and treated" by a paediatrician, the panel ruled.
Chairman Stuart Gray said Mrs Parkinson appeared to still be in denial and "not fully accepting" of the impact of her actions.
He said she was at times "evasive, controlled and detached" when explaining what happened.
Mr Gray added: "There is a risk, albeit a low risk, of repetition which could once again place patients at risk of harm."
A number of other hearings involving midwives who worked for the trust are under way.
An inquiry led by Dr Bill Kirkup found last year found that a "lethal mix" of failures at the trust led to the unnecessary deaths of 11 babies and one mother between 2004 and 2013.
Last week, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered the closure of a border post near the city of Cucuta.
He also announced that Colombians living illegally in Venezuela would be deported.
The move followed an incident last Wednesday when smugglers injured three Venezuelan soldiers and a civilian.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez is due to meet her Colombian counterpart Maria Angela Holguin later on Wednesday to discuss the crisis.
President Maduro at first said that the border would be closed for 72 hours. He has since extended the measure indefinitely.
According to the Venezuelan authorities, more than 1,000 Colombians living illegally in Venezuela have been handed over to the Colombian authorities.
Many others have crossed into Colombia over the river Tachira, which divides the two countries.
Some accused the Venezuelan armed forces of forcing them out of their homes and destroying their houses.
Referring to instances where Venezuelan security forces marked houses for demolition by spray painting them with the letter "D", Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said: "Marking houses to later demolish them is totally unacceptable and reminds one of bitter episodes in history which cannot be allowed to recur."
President Maduro says the expulsions are part of a crackdown on smuggling gangs.
Generous government subsidies on staple foods and extremely cheap petrol in Venezuela mean smugglers can make handsome profits buying goods there and selling them in Colombia.
The Venezuelan government estimates that 40% of subsidised good are lost to smugglers.
It says the scarcity of staples such as corn flour, milk and basic cosmetic items is in large part due to this illegal trade.
Critics of Mr Maduro's government, however, argue that the scarcity is down to mismanagement.
President Maduro also declared a state of emergency in five border provinces, which allows the authorities to search homes and businesses without a warrant.
An extra 1,500 troops have been deployed to search for smugglers and members of paramilitary groups which are active in the area.
A suspect in last week's attack on the soldiers has been arrested. He is Venezuelan.
More than 30 original photographs from the Stephan Loewentheil Historical Photography of China Collection, the largest holding of historical photographs of China in private hands, are included in the show. During two decades as a resident, Child documented life in the city with his camera.
Here we present a selection of the work in the exhibition at China Exchange.
This photograph by Thomas Child, titled Mongolian Lama, is one of the earliest photographic portraits of a religious figure in Peking. In the 19th century, the term lama referred to any Tibetan Buddhist monk or teacher. The lama and his pupil both hold prayer beads and bundles of sutras in their laps. Displayed neatly on the table are bronze sculptures and sacred Tibetan ritual objects including a skull cup.
This is an early photograph of Jade Belt Bridge, or Moon Bridge, located on the grounds of the Summer Palace in Beijing on the western shore of Kunming Lake. The elegant high arch bridge is a traditional Chinese design. The arch was constructed high enough to allow passage of the Emperor's dragon boat. On special occasions the Emperor and Empress travelled on Kunming Lake passing under this bridge.
Child took this photograph of the Marble Boat, or the Boat of Purity and Ease, in the 1870s, after it suffered damage from the Second Opium War. Child noted: "At one time there was a summer house on it, but it has entirely disappeared." The base of the boat is made of solid stone. It originally supported a traditional Chinese wooden pavilion that was burned down during the conflict in 1860. The pavilion was rebuilt in 1893, decades after this photograph was taken.
This photograph depicts late Qing dynasty commerce in the Chinese city of Peking. In his description of the scene, Child points out some of what is shown in the photograph. He explains that there is a "kettle in the fire for making tea, next to that is a shop that deals in cotton wool with its sign of wool balls hanging out and the fine-looking shop with the man standing at the door is a pastry cook's."
As a photographer, Child also mentions that: "The only chance of taking these scenes is when the roads are deep in mud and the people cannot crowd round the camera." Photography was a new technology in 1870 and the camera was intriguing and drew streams of onlookers.
Child took a series of three photographs relating to late Qing dynasty marriage customs. This one depicts the granddaughter of Zeng Goufan, a high-ranking Han Chinese official, seated next to her groom. Child describes this photograph: "Weddings are one of the stock ceremonies of the world, and every country has its own customs. In China the bridal colour is scarlet. This bride wore a scarlet satin coat embroidered with gold thread, with a skirt to match, her head dress was a mass of scarlet, gold and pearls."
It is interesting to note that on the reverse of this print is a German inscription that describes the bride as the "daughter of the dead Marquis Tsching".
The Azure Cloud Temple, constructed during the Yuan dynasty, is located on the eastern slope of Fragrant Hill in west Beijing. The photograph shows a 19th century view of the archway at the entrance to the white marble pagoda, the largest pagoda of its kind in China.
Though Child spoke Chinese, local guides were essential to his photographic endeavours.
While in China, Child was employed by the Imperial Maritime Customs Service as an engineer. He is quick to note early Chinese ingenuity and craftsmanship.
In his description of this photograph of an early astronomical instrument, Child states that the instrument is one of the finest pieces of bronze in China, saying: "Being made in the 13th century enhances its merit and adds further proof of the skill of the ancient Chinese."
This is one of the earliest photographs depicting 19th-century travellers of the Silk Road in China. Child explains that the camels "carry coal and lime into the City from the Western Hills, and merchandise between Peking and Mongolia".
This is an early photograph of an expansive portion of the Great Wall of China that leads to Mongolia. In modern times, the Chinese government has made a great effort to reforest many areas of the countryside. This section of the Great Wall is now surrounded by trees on both sides.
This is a 19th century view of the front gate of the Imperial City. Child explains in his description of the photographs: "The gate only opened on special state occasions for the Emperor to pass through. On the occasion of the marriage of the Emperor, the whole of the procession passed through this gate. The whole of the great traffic in and out of the Ch'ien men, has to pass round this enclosure."
Qing Dynasty Peking: Thomas Child's Photographs runs from 10-15 November at China Exchange, 32a Gerrard Street, London.
The Hamburg data protection authority said the social network could not change people's chosen usernames or ask them to provide any official ID.
The ruling came after Facebook blocked an account set up by a woman using a pseudonym and changed it to her name.
Facebook said it was disappointed with the ruling, which German courts had previously said met European law.
"The use of authentic names on Facebook protects people's privacy and safety by ensuring people know who they're sharing and connecting with," the company said.
The company's real-name policy has been the subject of recent protests outside its headquarters in California from demonstrators, including drag queens, Native Americans and domestic violence victims who believe anonymity is crucial to their personal safety.
Some drag queens want to use their stage names on the site, while Native Americans' names often incorporate animals, natural features or other elements that can be wrongly identified as pseudonyms.
The woman in Germany had wanted to use a pseudonym to avoid unsolicited contact in relation to her business.
In October 2014, Facebook clarified its real-name policy, saying users would have to "use the authentic name they use in real life".
But organisers of June's protest say the company has been slow to change its rules.
The Hamburg watchdog, which regulates the social network in Germany, said making users sign up under their real names violated an individual's privacy rights.
It also rejected an argument from Facebook that because the company's European offices were in Ireland, it should be subject to Irish law.
In an audit in December 2011, Ireland's privacy watchdog ruled Facebook's real-name policy did not contravene the country's regulations.
But Hamburg's commissioner for data protection, Johannes Caspar, said: "For that matter, Facebook cannot again argue that only Irish data protection law would be applicable. Anyone who stands on our pitch also has to play our game."
Dr Caroline Gannon investigated the deaths of babies including those in the womb or stillbirths.
She said the final straw was having to advise a couple to use a picnic cooler bag to return their baby's remains to NI following an abortion in England.
The attorney general said the law was under consideration.
A family can have a post-mortem examination carried out in England - but they are difficult to arrange.
Dr Gannon's resignation leaves Northern Ireland with only one paediatric pathologist.
She said the recent interventions by Attorney General John Larkin made her position untenable.
"The workload we had was manageable, but then when these rulings came out - that was the tipping point and for me, professionally," she told BBC News NI.
"I just felt I was acting unethically by taking part in this system where parents are denied a voice in what happens to their baby."
AG's interventions in NI abortion law:
Dr Gannon cited the example of one couple who wanted a post-mortem examination to find out why they had been told their baby had a fatal foetal abnormality.
As it remains illegal in Northern Ireland for an abortion to be carried out on the grounds of such a diagnosis, the couple had to travel to England for the termination.
The only way they could find to transport the remains home was in a cooler bag with ice packs.
"They're on their own in a strange town, a strange country in a private clinic with no support," said Dr Gannon, who has worked in Northern Ireland for almost 30 years.
Had the couple been in Northern Ireland, there would have been midwives present and hospital processes in place so they could sit with their baby, she added.
"Somebody else would be responsible for bringing their baby down to the mortuary to ensure the post mortem is carried out," she said.
"But they had to organise that themselves and transport their own baby's body back in a picnic cooler, in the boot of the car, on the overnight ferry."
The father of the woman involved said he travelled to England the day after his daughter with the cooler bag.
Describing the whole experience as traumatic for his family, he told the BBC's Talkback programme that he hoped the attorney general would never have to know what it felt like.
"It was horrendous and it's a terrible, terrible shame that Northern Ireland, in this day and age, has to look people straight in the eye around the world and say this is the way we deal with these things," he said.
"I just please hope that this will change the legislation because at least something good would have come out of the the most awful experience."
Attorney General statement
Mr Larkin previously argued that allowing terminations in cases of fatal foetal abnormality discriminated against children with disabilities.
He has also said there is no agreed clinical definition of fatal foetal abnormality.
The BBC understands several couples have used various modes of transport, including a parcel courier company, to transport the remains of their babies home.
Dr Gannon said she felt it was unethical to work in a system where women and couples were being "denied information and choice".
"I cannot reconcile the legal system I am having to operate under with my own personal ethical beliefs," she said.
The ad says: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel Defeat Jihad."
New York's transportation agency barred the ads citing demeaning language.
But a judge ruled in July for the American Freedom Defense Initiative (FDI), the group behind the campaign.
The FDI has been battling to display the ad since it was refused by the New York authorities last year.
Aaron Donovan, spokesman for New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), told the BBC they had no choice but to run the ad.
"Our hands are tied," he said. "The MTA is subject to a court-ordered injunction that prohibits application of the MTA's existing no-demeaning ad standard.
"That standard restricted publication of ads that demean people on the basis of their race, sex, religion, national origin or other group classification. The judge recognised our intention but found our attempt to be constitutionally deficient."
Mr Donovan added that the MTA might consider changing its regulations at a board meeting next week.
Manhattan district judge Paul Engelmayer said in his July ruling that the language in the FDI ad was protected under the constitution's First Amendment right to free speech.
Pamela Geller, executive director of the FDI, said: "I'm glad to see that the freedom of speech has finally prevailed."
Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the BBC that "this and similar advertisements are designed to promote anti-Muslim bigotry".
He pointed out that the FDI has been listed as a hate-group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group.
The ads have also appeared on San Francisco's public transport system. In response, the transit authority ran anti-bigotry ads next to the FDI's.
According to the New York Times, the FDI has bought space to run the ads in Washington DC metro stations.
But the local transport authorities have deferred display of the ad, citing concerns for public safety "given current world events".
Protests have erupted in several countries in response to an amateur video mocking Islam. A total of 30 people have died in seven countries as a result of the protests, including four US diplomats.
Since the 2 October referendum was announced in February, public spaces and the media have been inundated with the government's messages, such as:
The question facing voters on 2 October:
"Do you want the European Union to be able to mandate the obligatory resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens into Hungary even without the approval of the National Assembly?"
The referendum question itself was seen as so politically loaded that it was taken to the Constitutional Court by an opposition Liberal Party MP. The challenge failed.
A government source told the Nepszabadsag daily that the campaign had cost €10m (£8.5m; $11.2m) in public money.
In response, the satirical Two-Tailed Dog Party has raised €100,000 from 4,000 people, through crowdfunding, for their own rival posters and billboards. These mock the government's messages, in both style and content.
There are 27 versions, which include:
"We can't really do anything about all the people who spend their days hating migrants, people who have probably seen more aliens from other planets in their lives than immigrants," party leader Gergely Kovacs told the BBC.
"What we can do is appeal to the millions in Hungary who are upset by the government campaign. We want them to know they are not alone."
Hungary's referendum on migrant quotas
Why Central Europe says no to quota plan
Hungary sends in army to push back migrants into Serbia
The government fiercely defends both its referendum and its campaign.
"I don't believe that common sense can be called xenophobia," said government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs. "People all over the EU sense that something wrong is happening with migration. What is happening is out of control. We need to regain our ability to reinforce law and order at the borders of the European Union."
So far, the government campaign appears to have been successful.
"There has been a sharp drop in public sympathy towards the migrants and refugees," said Andras Pulai, director of opinion researchers the Publicus Institute. "A year ago two-thirds of those asked supported them, now only one-third."
According to his latest survey, 53% of those asked say they will definitely vote on 2 October, and a further 23% say they probably will.
To be valid, the referendum needs a 50% turnout of Hungary's voters. The vast majority of those who say they will vote, will vote "No".
The Two-Tailed Dog Party is asking people to spoil their ballots. The Socialist Party is calling for a boycott, although their leaders have been sending out confused messages.
Several small leftist parties have also called for a boycott. All will launch their own campaign posters next week.
The governing Fidesz party and radical nationalist Jobbik party are calling for a "No" vote to compulsory resettlement quotas, while the tiny Liberal Party is campaigning for people to vote "Yes".
"The referendum is going to have unavoidable legal and political consequences," said Mr Kovacs, the government spokesman.
"The turnout is important from the perspective of democracy. It's the people's decision we would like to know, and indeed we incite [sic] people to participate."
Police were called to the town's Braichlie Road and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit called out.
Police Scotland later said it turned out to be a deactivated device from WW2 which had "no explosive capability" and was removed.
Insp Megan Heathershaw of Police Scotland said: "There was no threat to the public at any stage."
The 28-year-old victim was suffering from depression and had been undergoing treatment when she went missing in the northern Haryana state.
Her body was found in a field, three days later. An autopsy revealed that she was gang-raped and had stones, blades and sticks forced inside her.
The female judge said she wanted to send a strong message to the public.
"I award the death sentence to all these accused in the case, and they should be hanged till death," said Judge Seema Singhal, according to the Hindustan Times.
"Besides a judicial officer, I am also a human being and can hear the groan of the victim," Judge Singhal added.
"Women are still facing crime and discrimination from males in our society and we still see gender bias in our system, but the judgement should send a strong message to the people and that is the need of the hour."
An eighth accused attacker, a minor, is being tried in a juvenile court. A ninth suspect killed himself soon after his arrest.
The victim had travelled to Rohtak in Haryana state a few months before the attack, to live with her sister while she underwent treatment for depression at a local hospital.
The doctor who carried out the post mortem examination told India's the NDTV channel at the time he had "never seen such a horrific case" in his 29-year-long career.
The death sentences came on the same day that India's top court rejected an appeal against the release of the youngest attacker in a fatal gang-rape of a student in New Delhi in 2012.
The savage attack on Jyoti Singh, who was travelling on a bus with a male friend, sparked a huge public outcry in India. The youngest of her attackers was sentenced to three years - the maximum allowed for a minor under Indian law - and released on Sunday.
Singh's mother Asha, who revealed her daughter's name, led protests over the weekend against the man's release.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the Delhi bus attack and the outrage that followed prompted the government to tighten the law.
But experts say tougher laws have failed to bring down the number of rape cases and a series of high-profile crimes have taken place since.
The Care Quality Commission has produced a pamphlet that sets out what relatives in England need to consider.
It includes advice on gaining permission from the person being cared for and where it can be done.
The CQC said opinion was divided about hidden cameras but it was publishing the guidance in recognition of the fact some people were already using them.
It also comes after the BBC's Panorama programme used secret filming to uncover abuse.
This includes a programme in 2011 that exposed abuse at Winterbourne View, a residential hospital near Bristol for people with learning disabilities, and last year's expose of the Old Deanery care home in Essex.
It has taken months of discussion and consultation for this guidance to be produced - the idea was raised in 2013 and agreed last year.
The 11-page guidance, which also covers non-covert recordings, says:
Andrea Sutcliffe, chief inspector of social care, said: "We all want people using health and social care services to receive safe, effective, high quality and compassionate care.
"Sadly, we know that does not always happen, and the anxiety and distress this causes people, either for themselves or a loved one, is simply awful.
"For some, cameras or other forms of surveillance, whether openly used by services or hidden by families, are the answer. Others feel this is an invasion of people's privacy and dignity. Many don't know what to do if they are concerned.
"I hope that this information helps the public to make the right decisions for them."
The BBC has launched an online guide to the care system for the over-65s. The "care calculator" covers both residential care and the support provided in people's own homes, for tasks such as washing and dressing.
Users can submit their postcode and find out how much each service costs wherever they live in the UK.
There is also a dedicated BBC Cost of Care website with news stories, analysis and video.
Care Minister Norman Lamb said: "Cameras have helped to expose terrible cruelty and neglectful care, and I welcome this new advice.
"Decisions about using surveillance are extremely difficult - there is always a balance to be struck between protecting people and respecting their right to privacy - but this information will help families to the make the right choice for them."
But Nadra Ahmed, of the National Care Association, which represents providers, said it was "disappointing" that the guidance had been produced.
She said care homes were not against filming being used in an open way.
But she added: "Covert surveillance is very difficult to swallow. We are going to encourage relatives and friends to do something secretly. That says there is no trust. Relationships in that service will mean nothing."
Prof Tom Rippeth from Bangor University is heading to the USA as one of the key speakers at a workshop examining the likely impact of the complete loss of Arctic Ocean ice in summer.
Experts say the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the global average.
Prof Rippeth said a more turbulent Arctic Ocean would have an impact on currents like the Gulf Stream.
The ocean physicist is one of 12 scientists invited to speak at an International Arctic Science Committee event in Massachusetts next week.
Low levels of sea ice in the Arctic have been linked to the increase in extreme weather events across the northern hemisphere in recent years, including a series of wet summers and severe winters in the UK.
Prof Rippeth said ice cover was important in keeping the Arctic Ocean relatively calm compared to others.
"The great concern is that the removal of the ice will result in a more turbulent ocean, which will in turn affect what happens to the freshwater and heat within the Arctic and alter the currents linking the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean," he said.
"The disappearance of the Arctic Sea Ice could, for example, impact on major Atlantic currents such as the Gulf Stream."
The Gulf Stream is the warm ocean current that starts near the Caribbean and follows the east coast of the USA before turning towards north-west Europe. It helps keep winter temperatures in the region higher than they would be otherwise.
The workshop aims to set research priorities to improve predictions of how the disappearance of Arctic ice will affect the rest of the world.
Shelvey was sent off for violent conduct following a first-half clash with Forest's Henri Lansbury.
Dummett was later deemed to have denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.
The incidents resulted in penalties for Forest, both of which were saved by Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
However, the league leaders went on to lose the match 2-1.
England midfielder Shelvey and Wales full-back Dummett will now be available for Saturday's home game against Birmingham City.
They are part of a new Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) zone created by Peterborough City Council, which can now impose on-the-spot fines.
Defecation was included on signs after residents raised concerns.
"It's a very sad indictment on our society that people have to be reminded not to defecate in a public place," said John Read from Clean Up Britain.
"It's ridiculous for councils to have to waste money putting up these sort of signs, but the same very much applies to litter and fly-tipping.
"I'm afraid it seems to be symptomatic of a decline in community pride and respect for the wider environment."
The signs were put up this week as part of the PSPO, the second in Peterborough, which covers much of the city centre and parks where defecation has been highlighted as an issue.
"Both PSPOs cover a range of anti-social behaviour and were developed in consultation with the public," a city council prevention and enforcement service spokeswoman said.
"We expect the majority of fines to be issued for littering which is the main problem in both areas."
Gareth Hindmarsh, 34, of Tawney Crescent in the city, was charged on Thursday.
Linda Norcup, 46, was found dead in "suspicious" circumstances on Sunday at her Beckett Avenue home at 13:00 BST, police said.
A Home Office post-mortem examination found she had been strangled. Mr Hindmarsh will appear before magistrates on Friday.
It is being written by the actress and comedian's brother, Chris Foote Wood, who accepted he had "given too much emphasis" to her early weight problems.
He had previously denied the "warts-and-all" biography was a betrayal. She died from cancer aged 62 in April.
Her brother said he was revising it "to ensure that this aspect of her life is reduced and put in its proper context".
"I cannot and will not leave it out altogether as it is an essential part of Victoria's story.
"She wanted the public to know about her early problems with her weight, and she spoke of them at length in some very candid press interviews."
The rest of the Wood family were made aware of his biography and were asked to say "if they had any concerns", Mr Foote Wood said.
"None of them responded. In other words, they left me to it."
The book recounts memories from Mr Foote Wood, who lives in Darlington, and his sister's colleagues.
It also includes extracts from a diary written by their late father, Stanley Wood, in which he criticises her for being overweight and describes her as being "very glum and morose".
Wood, who died from cancer in April, aged 62, was known for being private and had not made her illness public.
"I make no apology for writing this book," Mr Foote Wood said.
"It tells Victoria's story, her full story, from unpromising beginnings to national treasure."
Mr Foote Wood has agreed to donate all his royalties from the book to charities supported by his sister.
He has also set up a crowdfunding appeal to build a statue of Wood in her hometown of Bury.

In her speech in Stirling, Ms Sturgeon also acknowledged that choosing independence would be a "big decision" in the wake of the Brexit vote.
But she said Scotland had to decide whether it wanted to control its own destiny.
Keane, who played six times for the All Blacks in 1979, has been handed a three-year deal by the Irish province.
Christchurch-born Keane, 63, will move from his assistant role at the Chiefs at the end of the Super Rugby season.
Keane is renowned as an attack coach and Connacht bosses believe he will be the "ideal fit" for the province.
Under Lam, Connacht developed a ball-in-hand attacking style of rugby which helped land a sensational Pro12 triumph last season and the province's chief executive Willie Ruane says Keane will continue with this philosophy.
"Kieran is a highly experienced head coach with a winning track record and a proven ability in identifying talent and maximising the full potential of that talent," added the Connacht chief.
"His ambitious and exciting brand of rugby is also consistent with the way Connacht Rugby and in particular our players want to continue to play the game into the future."
Keane did not earn any Test caps for the All Blacks but did play for his country during the 10-game tour of England, Scotland and Italy in 1979.
The former schoolteacher's coaching career included guiding the Tasman Makos to a place in the Premiership final in New Zealand's domestic game in 2014 after his side achieved promotion by winning the Championship a year earlier.
Keane has also coached the New Zealand Under-16 and Under-17 sides in addition to an assistant coaching stint at the Highlanders in 2011 and 2012.
His role with the Chiefs over the last year has centred on having responsibility for the team's attack and they scored 76 tries in 17 games during their Super Rugby campaign in 2016.
Connacht chief Ruane added that Keane had been appointed a "rigorous process" which included the new coach travelling to the west of Ireland to meet the club's hierarchy in recent weeks.
"I was immediately taken by the genuine passion they have for the people they represent and the ambition they have to achieve so much more," added the new coach.
Macauley Bonne gave the U's a 69th-minute lead, but the Spireites, who played more than 70 minutes with 10 men, soon equalised with a penalty.
"Teams are vulnerable after they've scored. Our game management has got to be a lot better," said Keen, whose side are winless in 17 league games.
"But mentally it's a tough place when you haven't won for a long time."
Colchester remain bottom of the League One table, eight points behind Chesterfield, who occupy 20th place.
"There was a few nerves out there as we hadn't won for a while," midfielder Owen Garvan told BBC Essex.
"I thought us going ahead might calm us down a bit, but the opposite happened and too many individual mistakes are costing us."
Despite Gary Liddle's sending off and Bonne's effort, the U's allowed Lee Novak to convert from the spot after he was felled by Richard Brindley.
And Garvan was frustrated by his side's lack of creativity in the final third.
"We had a lot of the ball, but we didn't make the keeper work too much. That's the most disappointing thing - we didn't create enough chances," the 28-year-old added.
"It's the easy option to just go long and you're kind of counting on luck. If you want to be good, you have to try to break them down with good play - that's where our goal came from."
The risk was three times higher than the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) previously estimated.
Last year a news report uncovered a high level of cancer-causing chemicals in the company's flooring.
Lumber Liquidators stopped selling Chinese-made laminate flooring in May.
An earlier CDC report estimates the risk of cancer was between two and nine people in 100,000. The updated report estimates that risk to be between six and 30 people in 100,000.
Lumber Liquidators said it had worked to improve "quality assurance procedures" including testing of new products.
The floorboards in question contain high levels of the carcinogen formaldehyde. The CDC said it had used an incorrect ceiling height that lead it to underestimate the impact of airborne concentration of the formaldehyde.
Shares fell $2.82 to $11.39 in New York.
It says cuts to police budgets of 20% since 2010 have already hit officer numbers and police visibility.
With further savings set to be made over the next five years, is the bobby on the beat - as the Police Federation of England and Wales has claimed - really now an "endangered species"?
Home Secretary Theresa May says that suggestion is wrong and has accused the federation - which represents rank and file police officers - of "scaremongering".
She told its annual conference that although more savings needed to be made over the next five years, cuts could be made without affecting neighbourhood policing.
The prospect of future cuts comes as the police workforce in England and Wales - including both officers and staff - has already reduced by 14% since 2010.
According to the latest Home Office statistics, the total in March 2010 was 244,497.
Last year, that figure had fallen to 209,362.
The number of police constables in England and Wales fell by more than 16,000 (11.5%), while police community support officers (PCSOs) reduced by more than 4,000 (almost 25%).
Ch Supt John Sutherland, from London's Metropolitan Police, said the current climate was "as challenging as I've ever known it".
He said the Met had already cut about £600m and may have to save "at least the same again".
Potential savings were "eye watering", he said, adding that there were some things the force would "unequivocally" have to do differently.
Yet, despite the cut, according to official figures recorded crime has continued to fall.
John Graham, director of the Police Foundation think tank, stressed the importance of neighbour police teams in building "trust and confidence" with local residents.
Reducing the visibility of local officers could quickly erode that trust, he warned.
A report he co-authored - which was published this week - suggested that if neighbourhood policing reduced then "policing by consent may well go with it."
"If you lose the trust and confidence of the public you are policing then why should they give you their consent?" Mr Graham said.
He said the idea that neighbourhood policing would disappear altogether was "nonsense", but said the concept might have to change.
"There will be fewer people available to patrol local neighbourhoods, but I think one has to bear in mind that as the nature of crime is changing the requirements of local patrols is also changing," he said.
Solutions vary between forces.
A survey by the Police Federation suggests 33 out of the 43 forces have scrapped, reduced or merged their neighbourhood policing teams since 2010.
Many chief constables have been trying to recruit more volunteer special constables.
In Leicestershire, remaining neighbourhood officers will no longer investigate crimes or respond to emergencies.
Instead, they will only deal with "core community activities", such as patrol, dealing with anti-social behaviour and engaging with people, Mr Graham added.
Richard Garside, director of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, argued there should be fewer - not more - police officers.
He said police budgets in 2010 - when police officers were at "record numbers" - had grown by around 50% over the previous decade.
At the same time, he argued, there was a "mission creep" in the functions police forces carried out - notably, he said, acting as probation officers and dealing with the mentally ill.
"One of the reasons I think the police feel a lot of pressure now is they are being asked to do a lot more than historically could or should be the role of the police."
Mr Garside said the key question was about how police officers were deployed.
"What we've had from the government over the last five years this notion that you can get more for less", he said.
"I think one of the things we need to be talking about in the next five years is how do we get less for less.
"We just accept that if we reduce budgets - which I think is a good thing in relation to the police - we have to also accept that police aren't going to do as much."
Policing Minister Mike Penning said decisions on neighbourhood policing should be made locally by chief constable and police and crime commissioners - not by the government.
He added: "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."

UKIP announced a probe into the matter after a recording emerged of the North Wales UKIP AM using a racial slur against Chuka Umunna in a call in 2016.
But Nathan Gill, who is also an independent AM, demanded immediate action from his party.
Party chairman Paul Oakden said it was his responsibility to ensure due process is followed.
Mr Gill also told BBC Wales he was concerned that the party may come down more heavily on Nigel Williams, the former senior advisor to Ms Brown who had recorded the phone call, and he would not be surprised if UKIP threw him out instead of the AM.
The MEP called the comments "horrendous".
Ms Brown called Mr Umunna a "coconut" and was also recorded using an abusive remark about Tristram Hunt, who was then Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central, in a call to Mr Williams recorded in May 2016.
Mr Williams was sacked by Ms Brown in May.
"She needs kicking out the party," Mr Gill said, saying it was "up to the leadership of the party to set the tone for the rest of the membership and to show what we're really about - that we're not going to tolerate this one iota".
Mr Gill, who was elected as a UKIP North Wales AM but became independent after he left the party in a dispute with assembly leader Neil Hamilton, said: "I am adamant that the party needs to act quickly on this one, that they need to suspend her immediately and that they need to show the rest of the political world what we've been saying for years - that we are not a harbour for... racist comments."
Mr Gill added he was "very concerned" by a statement released at the weekend by the chairman of the party, Paul Oakden, about the case "because it is basically kicking this into the long grass".
In the statement Mr Oakden said it did not condone the views of Ms Brown, and would investigate, but added that the party would also "investigate whether a UKIP member and official surreptitiously recorded a private telephone conversation with Michelle Brown and then disseminated it without her consent, more than a year after the event".
"We're told the National Executive Committee (NEC) are going to be looking at this, but we don't know when the NEC are going to look at this," Mr Gill said.
"I would have thought they could have looked at this immediately today but instead we don't actually have a date they are going to do that, and then it appeared to be more critical of the whistleblower, Nigel Williams, than it did of Michelle Brown and what she actually said.
"I'm very concerned that what we're going to see at the end of this process is the party coming down more heavily against Nigel Williams than it does against Michelle Brown."
Asked if he was concerned that the party may throw Mr Williams out of the party instead of Ms Brown, Mr Gill said: "It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest."
Mr Gill added he was surprised UKIP Welsh assembly leader Neil Hamilton "hasn't publicly condemned and taken the whip off Michelle Brown immediately, because if I was the leader of that group that's what I would have done".
A source close to Michelle Brown said: "If Nathan Gill gets rid of a UKIP AM it damages Neil.
"We know there's no love lost between those two," they added. Mr Gill was beaten to the leadership of the assembly group in a vote last year.
UKIP currently has an interim leader, Steve Crowther, after its previous leader Paul Nuttall resigned after the general election. A leadership election is to take place later in the year.
Mr Oakden said: "It is my responsibility to ensure that due process is followed, as I did when individuals attempted to remove Nathan Gill from the party last year."
It is understood that the NEC is meeting in mid August.
A spokesman for Neil Hamilton said the AM for Mid and West Wales had "no comment".
Ms Brown has previously said that she accepted the language she used "in the private conversation was inappropriate" and apologised "to anyone that has been offended by it".
A spokesman for Ms Brown said it would be inappropriate for her to comment while the investigation is ongoing.

It is a fitting mid-afternoon concert to find in Oryol, a Russian provincial town which prides itself on its cultural heritage, and its links to an extraordinary number of Russian authors.
Ivan Turgenev, the 19th-Century Russian novelist of elegant love stories, came from here. So did Ivan Bunin, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. So did the ingenious storyteller Nikolai Leskov, the poets Tyutchev and Fet, the short story writer Leonid Andreev…
It is as if one small English town had produced Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, the Bronte sisters, T S Eliot and Philip Larkin and many more.
"How did this one place give rise to so much literary talent?" I asked the mayor, Sergei Stupin, who was taking me on a personal tour in his car, to show me all the writers' statues.
"Who knows?" he answered obliquely. "Something in the air, perhaps."
The director of the Turgenev Museum, an enthusiastic bibliophile called Vera Yefremova, was clearer. "We are in the very middle of Russia," she said. "And in tsarist times Oryol was at the heart of a huge guberniya, or province, which covered a large area and included many estates.
"We like to call this the third literary capital of Russia, after Moscow and St Petersburg. Last year we had 65,000 visitors. But it could be so much more," she added wistfully.
Like everywhere else in provincial Russia, Oryol is looking to Moscow to furnish more federal funding for upcoming anniversaries. "To rebrand ourselves," says the mayor, a former marketing man.
But there's a long way to go before Oryol becomes a mecca for tourism. It feels trapped in time.
When I arrived by train from Moscow I was struck by how reminiscent it was of the Soviet towns I had known as a student.
The town centre had some charming streets and nice views over a high bank where its two rivers meet.
But overall it looked as though it had been largely bypassed by the Russian boom years - roads filled with potholes, abandoned factory sites.
And in some older parts of town residents did not even have indoor toilets or running water. They were collecting water in plastic buckets from a standing tap in the street.
In political terms Oryol is also a throwback.
Curiously, the town council is half-controlled by Communists. And far from focusing on the upcoming 200-year anniversary of Turgenev, their current obsession is to put up a statue to Joseph Stalin - to commemorate his role as wartime leader.
It's a talking point which has split Oryol. One young journalist launched an online protest petition, which has already gathered thousands of signatures.
But most people I spoke to told me a Stalin statue was a good idea: yes there had been repressions during Stalin's years, but what he had done during the war should never be forgotten. "And anyway Russia always needs a harsh leader," said one of the leading campaigners. "A firm hand at the top, like Stalin or Putin."
Meanwhile the mayor, though he is allied to the Communists politically, says he's against it.
"A statue to Stalin would be too divisive in these difficult times," he told me. Possibly toeing the official line from Moscow, was what I thought.
So is this the old story of the Russian provinces - caught in a time-warp through lack of investment and opportunity?
Possibly Oryol's problem is at heart economic - the loss of factory jobs, with nothing to fill the gap. Hence the protest vote for the Communists, whose rule has not helped, given their lack of interest in helping private enterprise to create local wealth.
So everyone is beholden to the authorities. Everyone watches their back.
Below the radar, however, there were some whispered criticisms of President Putin. But only in private. One man even followed me down the street afterwards, scared in case I didn't understand that I shouldn't use his name.
And now Russia is in economic difficulties, and for these provincial towns life has just got much worse.
My guess is that people here will keep their heads down - unless the crisis becomes so deep that they have nothing to lose by speaking out.
Six prominent authors boycotted the event, saying it celebrated the magazine's "cultural intolerance".
Islamists stormed the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris in January after the magazine published drawings of the Prophet Muhammad.
On Sunday, two gunmen were killed at a draw-the-Prophet competition in Dallas.
PEN president Andrew Solomon said: "The defence of people murdered for their exercise of free speech is at the heart of what PEN stands for.
"Charlie Hebdo's current staff have persisted, and tonight's award reflects their refusal to accept the curtailment of lawful speech through violence."
Charlie Hebdo's editor in chief, Gerard Biard and Jean-Baptiste Thoret, a film critic who arrived late for work on the day of the attack, were at the gala to accept the award.
Mr Thoret has rejected any comparison between the Paris and Dallas attacks.
"To be honest, I can imagine the kind of comparison you can make between the Charlie Hebdo attack of January 7 and this event, but there is nothing. There is no comparison, absolutely no comparison," he told PBS's Charlie Rose.
The film critic added that the attack in Texas was part on an "anti-Islamic movement" in the US.
The decision to award the magazine the Freedom of Expression Courage Award to Charlie Hebdo caused six high-profile authors to withdraw, including The English Patient writer Michael Ondaatje.
They said PEN - known for defending imprisoned writers - was stepping beyond its traditional role.
Authors Peter Carey, Rachel Kushner, Teju Cole, Taiye Selasi and Francine Prose also boycotted the event.
Booker Prize-wining author Mr Carey told the New York Times that the boycotting writers felt PEN's role was to protect freedom of expression against government oppression.
"A hideous crime was committed, but was it a freedom of speech issue for PEN America to be self-righteous about?" asked Mr Carey.
"All this is complicated by PEN's seeming blindness to the cultural arrogance of the French nation, which does not recognise its moral obligation to a large and disempowered segment of their population."
In addition, more than 100 other writers signed a letter of protest against the award.
The boycott has been criticised by the author Salman Rushdie, a former president of PEN who was in hiding for years over Islamist threats in response to his novel The Satanic Verses.
He said his friends were "horribly wrong" and he hoped nobody ever came after them.
A number of crises have blown up on a Friday and not been sorted out until Sunday.
Observers say it's because that's when President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner - an observant Orthodox Jewish man - is off duty, marking the Sabbath.
Mr Kushner, the husband of the first daughter, Ivanka, is a power in the land, the crown prince.
Because of his semi-public power struggle with Steve Bannon, he's seen as an enemy by the hard, nationalistic right.
But what drives him? What does he believe? And how could that change the world?
The provocative conservative commentator and early Trump supporter Ann Coulter - author of Adios, America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole - told me the suspicion was not personal.
"You can't hire your kids," she said.
"They can't be fired, they are more than first among equals.
"It's a Third World thing to get elected and bring in all of you family.
"It's what they do in banana republics."
And this story is all about family, dynasty and destiny.
"J-Vanka" - their couple name - provides a soupcon of sophistication, implying smoothly groomed beautiful youths in a court that is more King Midas than Camelot.
While Trump Sr starred in the downmarket tabloids, they have been a fixture of the glossy magazines.
Last year, Elle Decor gushed about the couple's Upper East Side apartment, and its Lindsey Adelman light fixtures and candlesticks by Jeff Zimmermann.
The room in black and white - with just a hint of imperial purple - is cool, understated. So are they.
In the White House, amid the balding billionaires - and a leader who made vulgarity a virtue - their sleekness stands out.
Lizzie Widdicombe, an editor of the New Yorker's Talk of the town, watches them closely.
"They both have a noticeable level of polish," she says.
"It is often said that Ivanka softens the brash, abrasive image of her father and makes it palatable."
I ask if Jared does the same thing politically.
"That's a great way of putting it," says Widdicombe.
"He has been the link to Wall Street, and Rupert Murdoch, who he's cultivated as a close personal friend, so he has emerged as a powerbroker."
The president and his son-in-law are both what's known as "bridge and tunnel guys" - President Trump from the outer borough of Queens, Mr Kushner from out-of-state New Jersey, each well versed in making a splash in the magic kingdom of Manhattan, turning grit to glitter using the glamour of gold.
And there's a hint of resentment in both of them, sharpened by Mr Kushner's background.
He's not just a property billionaire. He's not just the son-in-law of a property billionaire. He is also the son of a property billionaire - a property billionaire who went to jail.
It was ugly - a family feud that went nuclear. As the row spiralled, Jared's father, Charlie, was jailed for tax evasion and deception.
Jared's close friend Ken Kurson, editor of the New York Observer, told me the trauma had been the making of him.
"This is a guy who at 24-25 was made chief executive of a giant sprawling complex company," said Kurson.
"He not only handled that in an emergency, but grew the company.
"To step into a world of grizzled real estate guys, treat them with respect but also lead, was a truly astonishing feat."
Gabriel Sherman, who wrote an early profile of Mr Kushner for The New York Magazine, agrees with Ken Kurson's analysis.
"Without question, it is still the defining moment of his life," he told me.
"Growing up, the family always thought he would run for political office and become a major figure in America, but much further down the road.
"When Charlie went to prison, Jared was required to start that climb to power at much earlier age.
"That was traumatic, but he also seized his opportunity."
According to one profile, friends say Jared's father, Charlie, is mostly a charmer - but can also be volcanic and irascible when crossed.
Remind you of anyone?
"Charlie is a really aggressive, flamboyant, high-profile figure a lot like Trump," says Lizzie Widdicombe.
"Being the son or daughter of a person like that is a very specific experience. Jared is the Trump whisperer."
But what does he whisper?
Probably a more pragmatic, more cautious, more mainstream Republican view than President Trump's own.
One of my sources said he'd reflect the views of his New York friends who "hate Trump".
To some on the hard right, he is the swamp President Trump promised to drain.
Ann Coulter feels the will to power may outweigh any ideology.
"I think he wants to help his father-in-law," she says.
"It'll be embarrassing to be the son-in-law of a failed president.
"That's the good part of it - and it's very clear how his father-in-law can succeed or fail.
"If he keeps his promises, he'll be the first president we've had in a long time who didn't just break all his promises.
"He will not succeed unless he keeps his promises on immigration and trade."
In his old office, Mr Kushner kept a picture of President John F Kennedy addressing a crowd, from the front, and from the back.
He is still in the backroom, not in front of the crowds, portrayed by Saturday Night Live as a preppy mute.
He may not speak in public - but when he whispers, President Trump takes notice.
Watch him closely to learn what the president will do next.

People spend longer inhaling the delightful aroma of a bouquet of roses than the foul stench of rotting fish.
The results of tests on 36 children, in the journal Current Biology, showed that there appeared to be no such difference in children with autism.
The National Autistic Society said smell could eventually become an additional tool for testing for autism.
Behaviour, social interactions and communication skills are all affected by autism and the disorder affects one in every 160 children globally.
It often takes until a child is at least two before it can be diagnosed.
The children in the trial at the Weizmann Institute of Science took part in a 10-minute experiment.

A red tube sent either pleasant or unpleasant odours up the nose while the green tube recorded changes in breathing patterns.
One of the researchers, PhD student Liron Rozenkrantz, said children normally altered the depth of their sniffing to the odours.
She told the BBC: "Children with autism didn't show this modulation at all - they took the same sniff for the smell of shampoo as they did for rotten fish.
"This is striking and somewhat surprising."
The team developed a computer program that could detect autism in the group of children with 81% accuracy.
They also showed that the more severe the symptoms of autism, the longer the children inhaled the unpleasant smells.
The earlier autism is diagnosed, the sooner children can get access to behavioural or educational interventions.
The team at the Weizmann Institute of Science said that one of the advantages of a sniffing test was that it did not rely on the child being able to communicate so it may be useful at a very early age.
Miss Rozenkrantz added: "But before we can use it as a diagnostic test, we need to know at what age children start to develop a sniff response in the general population.
"Are you born with it? Do you develop it later in life? No-one has looked at it yet.
"I think what we have an interesting place to start, but we do have a way to go."
The researchers said smells had a role in social interaction and that this may explain the link with autism.
Dr Judith Brown, from the UK's National Autistic Society, said: "Getting a diagnosis is a crucial step to unlocking vital support services which can make a huge difference to people on the autism spectrum and their families.
"We believe that the possibility of developing a single and universal diagnostic test for autism is unlikely.
"However, in future, if these initial findings are confirmed and fully understood, differences relating to processing smell may offer an additional tool in the necessarily multi-faceted process of diagnosing autism."
He said lengthy mandatory minimum sentences should be reduced - or thrown out entirely.
"Mass incarceration makes our entire country worse off, and we need to do something about it," he said.
Mr Obama urged Congress to pass a sentencing reform bill by year's end.
On Thursday, Mr Obama will be the first sitting president to visit a federal prison - part of week long focus by the White House on the criminal justice system.
Speaking to a gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Philadelphia, Mr Obama discussed investments in education, alternatives to trials and prison job training programs.
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch has been tasked with reviewing the overuse of solitary confinement, Mr Obama said.
"Do we think it makes sense to lock people up in tiny cells for 23 hours a day? It won't make us safer and stronger."
The country should not be tolerating overcrowding in prisons, gang activity or rape, which Mr Obama called "unacceptable".
Criminal justice reforms have been a subject of rare agreement between Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
He noted that African Americans and Latinos disproportionately make up most of the prison population.
On Monday Mr Obama commuted the sentences of 46 prisoners, many of whom were serving time for non-violent drug offences.
"If you're a low-level drug dealer, or you violate your parole, you owe some debt to society … but you don't owe 20 years," Mr Obama said.
Mr Obama said for what the US spends on keeping people in prison per year, $80 billion, there could be universal pre-school, doubled salaries for high school teachers or free tuition at US public colleges or universities.
This week's focus on criminal justice signals a renewed bid by Mr Obama's administration to tackle what he sees as a lack of fairness in the system.
"Communities that give our young people every shot at success, tough but fair courts and prisons that seek to prepare returning citizens to get that second chance...That's what we're here to build," he said.
The last significant changes to the criminal justice system in the US came in 2013 when US Attorney General Eric Holder dropped mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent drug offenders.

Nellie the pug went missing in October 2014 from owner Marie Ling's garden in Norwich, prompting a police investigation.
But their inquiries drew a blank, until Nellie was found in Burnley and passed to a vet's practice.
The vets were able to trace Nellie's owner through her microchip.

Sonia Billington, practice manager at Oakmount Veterinary Centre, telephoned Mrs Ling, who burst into "tears of joy" when she heard the news.
"She was just absolutely elated," she said.
"She asked if she could set off straight away to come and collect her, but because of the distance we decided it would be best for her to come the following day.
"It was a very emotional reunion."
Norfolk Police are continuing to investigate the theft, which also saw Nellie's mother taken from Mrs Ling's secure garden.
It is not known how she came to be in Burnley, but Ms Billington said pugs are sought-after pets and are often sold around the country.
Woodyard, 24, joined the Imps last summer having also played for boss Danny Cowley at Braintree.

Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) is supposed to be independent of government and the police - its boss technically an appointment of the Crown. But the reality has always been that the home secretary chooses the Chief Inspector of Constabulary and that individual is drawn from the senior ranks of the police service.
Until now.
Today the Home Office announced that its preferred choice for the job is Tom Winsor, the "civilian" lawyer whose recent proposals for reforming police pay and conditions have gone down as well with ordinary coppers as a vomiting drunk in the custody suite.
The committee representing police inspectors in England and Wales has said the decision "simply beggars belief". Matt Cavanagh from the left-leaning think-tank IPPR, said it was a "risky if not reckless choice", a "provocative" appointment which could damage the reputation of the inspectorate.
The central argument seems to be that only someone with years of experience of policing can do the job. Paul McKeever from the Police Federation has said: "If ever there was a need for sagacious advice from someone with a profound understanding of policing, it is now."
The subtext here is that officers would dearly like the head of the HMIC to be someone who would defend the police service against the impact of some of the government's reform proposals. What they appear to have got as the new chief inspector is the very man who came up with the reforms in the first place.
The fact that Theresa May has named such a controversial outsider sends a powerful message to the service that the government is committed to significant reform and, after being heckled and booed at the Police Federation conference last month, is content to take on the rank and file.
But is there some truth in the charge that only an insider can have the "deep and profound understanding of policing" required for the job? Or might Home Office minister Lynne Featherstone be right in suggesting: "The fact that he is not from a police background is innovative and it may be brilliant."?
Arguments for and against external appointments to public positions were presented to the House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee a couple of years ago. The subsequent report, "Outsiders and Insiders", concluded that the senior civil service "should take appropriate measures to reduce its reliance on external recruitment, not least because outside appointees do not appear to perform better than career civil servants - despite being paid more".
They heard from the then Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell who argued that bringing in new skills and thinking was enormously valuable. "Getting people from a wide range of backgrounds, the private sector and wider public sector… is really good for us," he argued. "We should not sit back and say that we should have only talent that we grow internally."
However, the committee also heard from the Ofsted chair Zenna Atkins, who said outside recruits found it very difficult not to do one of two things: "One is to go native and just go along with what the public sector has done and to buy into, 'that's the way it's done here'… or the other thing is you are continually banging your head against the wall and are not able to navigate your way through the way things are done."
The report produced a table which was said to provide "some slight support for the belief that external appointees on the whole perform less well than internal recruits".
However, if the aim is to challenge the norms and procedures of an organisation, to stir things up a bit, then experience from business suggests an outside appointment can have transformative effects.
When Adam Crozier was appointed chief executive of the Football Association in 2000, there were plenty of raised eyebrows. He was the opposite of what was expected for the governing body of England's national game - young (35), Scottish and with no experience of business in football.
In his short tenure, Crozier is credited with turning the FA into a much younger and more commercial organisation. He made enemies and his approach had its critics, but others argue that only someone completely outside the old Lancaster Gate cabal could have pushed through such needed change.
Last month, the debt-laden tour operator Thomas Cook appointed an industry outsider as its new chief executive. Harriet Green's background is in electronic components distribution. Again, the aim seems to be to shake things up. The board said she had been hired because of her "extensive experience of driving business transformation and change programmes".
The question of who should be the next director general of the BBC also sees a split between those who want an experienced internal "steady-as-she-goes" candidate and those demanding more radical change pushed through by someone from outside the corporation.
So the appointment of Tom Winsor as Chief Inspector of Constabulary, should it happen, signals something more profound than ministers putting two fingers up to belligerent bobbies. It is strong evidence that this government wants transformative cultural change in the police service. Expect fireworks.
Graham Clarke, 52, died following the incident at a house in Claybank Street, Heywood, on Sunday. A woman, 37, also suffered facial injuries in the attack.
His family thanked everyone for their support but asked they were now "left alone to grieve" for him.
A 34-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody.
Greater Manchester Police said it believed the tragic attack was "an isolated incident".
In a statement, Mr Clarke's family said: "What happened is a tragedy and we would like to ask people not to speculate and allow the police to carry out their investigation.
"We thank everyone for their support over the last 24 hours and ask that we are now left alone to grieve for our brother."
Investigations are ongoing, but police say the driver appears to have veered over the kerb and crashed with "extreme force" into the concrete wall marking the end of an emergency stop area inside the Sierre tunnel.
The ski party had been returning from a holiday in Val d'Anniviers, in the Valais Alps region on Tuesday. There were 52 people on board the coach, including 46 children aged about 12 from the Stekske primary school in Lommel, near the Dutch border, and from St Lambertus in Heverlee, near Leuven (Louvain).
Police say the coach had just left the resort on the journey home and joined the A9 motorway at the Bois de Finges roundabout near Sierre, heading towards Sion and Lausanne.
After about 2km, at 2015 GMT, the coach veered to the right inside the two-lane Sierre motorway tunnel, went over the kerb and into an emergency stop area.
The coach crashed head-on into the concrete wall where the emergency area ends, say police.
Twenty two children died and 24 others were injured - many suffering broken legs and arms. The two drivers and the children's four teachers were among the dead.
Although most of the victims are Belgian, Swiss officials say the dead include seven Dutch children. Among those injured are three Dutch, one Pole and one German.
Immediately after the accident, emergency services closed the tunnel in both directions and the injured were airlifted to hospitals by helicopters and ambulances. Rescuers faced horrific scenes that left many traumatised by the experience, officials said. Some of the children had to be cut free from the wreckage.
Olivier Elsig, prosecutor for the Swiss state of Valais, said the cause of the crash was being investigated, but some scenarios could be ruled out.
He said CCTV footage showed that they could "categorically exclude" the possibility of a collision with another vehicle in the one-way tunnel.
The tunnel has a speed limit of 100km/h (62mph) but Mr Elsig said initial investigations suggested the coach was not speeding.
He said possible causes of the crash included a technical error, maybe the driver was feeling unwell or human error.
"An autopsy will enable us to confirm or refute the hypothesis of a whether the driver was suffering from a malaise or a health problem," he said.
The coach, which belonged to the Belgian Top Tours company, was a modern vehicle and the children were all wearing seatbelts, Mr Elsig said, but the force of the collision with the wall meant the belts could not save them.
Pablo Neruda was Chile's greatest poet and died less than two weeks after a military coup in his country in 1973.
His family maintains that he died of advanced prostate cancer, but his body is to be exhumed as part of an inquest into allegations that he was poisoned.
Words from one of his poems have been found at Bay of Sannick in Caithness.
Edgar White came across the carvings close to his home. He hopes to find out who carved the words and why.
He said: "While examining the Old Red Sandstone reefs at the west end of the remote beach at Bay of Sannick near to John O'Groats, I became aware of the carving on an adjacent reef being exposed as the tide dropped.
"Subsequent research revealed it to be the whole of number XVII of Pablo Neruda's suite of poems, Las Piedras del Cielo - Stones of the Sky."
Mr White added: "Who carved it is still a mystery, but it is a supremely artistic work, executed under the difficult tidal conditions off the shore of the Pentland Firth.
"Time for working would have been limited to the period between tides."
Mr White said the words may have been carved in 2004, the 100th anniversary of Neruda's birth. He said there was a celebration of the poet's life in Edinburgh that year.
Last month, a court in Chile set a date for the exhumation of Neruda's remains as part of an inquest into his death.
International experts will begin their examinations on 8 April to determine how the poet and long-standing Communist Party supporter died.
In 2001, Chile started investigating allegations by his former driver, Manuel Araya Osorio, that the poet had been poisoned.
Neruda's body is buried next to his wife Matilde Urrutia in Isla Negra, 120km (70 miles) west of the capital Santiago.
He had been a friend of Chile's socialist President Salvador Allende.
Neruda died 12 days after Allende was overthrown in a military coup and Augusto Pinochet. The poet's work was banned under the Pinochet regime.
President Allende's death was also the subject of an investigation.
In December 2011, after his remains were exhumed, it was confirmed that Allende committed suicide, and was not killed by soldiers who stormed the presidential palace during the coup, as some had argued.

The death toll from last Tuesday's attacks on the airport and metro rose to 35 after four people died of their injuries in hospital.
More than 300 people were also injured in the attacks, which were claimed by the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.
The death toll does not include three attackers, two of whom blew themselves up at the airport and one in the metro.
Investigators have not commented on reports in the Belgian media that the third airport attacker is Faycal Cheffou, a freelance journalist arrested on Thursday outside the prosecutor's office.
On Saturday a man named Faycal C was charged with "participation in the activities of a terrorist group, terrorist murders and attempted terrorist murders", a prosecutor's statement said.
Separately, three men were charged on Monday with belonging to a terrorist group.
The three, whose names were given as Yassine A, Mohamed B and Aboubaker O, were arrested during raids on 13 addresses on Sunday. A fourth man was released without charge.
Belgian Health Minister Maggie De Block announced the latest deaths in a tweet: "Four patients deceased in hospital. Medical teams did all possible. Total victims: 35. Courage to all the families."
Of the 35 victims, seven have still to be identified, the country's crisis centre said on Monday (in French).
At least 12 of the victims are foreign nationals from the US, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, France, the UK, Italy and China, it said earlier.
More arrests have also taken place in relation to what authorities say were planned attacks on France.
A man already in Belgian custody was reported to have been charged in connection with a foiled attack in the Paris region.
Separately, Dutch police announced on Sunday evening that they had detained a Frenchman, 32, in Rotterdam at the request of French authorities.
He was arrested on suspicion of preparing an attack in France and will be extradited to the country. Three other people were also detained.
The Frenchman is allegedly linked to Reda Kriket, who was arrested in a Paris suburb on Thursday and said to be in the "advanced stage" of plotting an attack, AFP news agency reported, citing a police source.
The Ministry of Defence revealed the name, to coincide with Trafalgar Day, for the first vessel of the £31bn project to replace existing submarines.
The MoD said nine Navy vessels had previously been named Dreadnought.
Perhaps the most famous was HMS Dreadnought, commissioned in 1906, which transformed naval warfare.
The name became used at the time to describe a new era of warship design.
Other Dreadnoughts included one that sailed with Sir Francis Drake to battle the Spanish Armada in 1588, and another that was present with Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Britain's first nuclear-powered submarine, launched 56 years ago, also shared the name.
Critics of the project to renew the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system believe the enormous investment could be better spent elsewhere.
But Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "Every day our ballistic missile submarines are used to deter the most extreme threats to Britain's security.
"We cannot know what dangers we might face in the 2030s, 2040s and 2050s, so we are building the new Dreadnought class.
"Along with increasing the defence budget to buy new ships, more planes, and armoured vehicles, this commitment shows we will never gamble with our security."
Dreadnought will be the lead boat of the four new submarines, as well as the class name for the whole fleet.
The MoD, which received approval for the name from the Queen, said the next three boats would also be given names with "historical resonance".
But there are still groups fighting against the project who have said the bill will run much higher than predicted.
Dave Webb, chairman of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, said: "Replacing and running Trident is set to cost a staggering £205bn.
"The government dishonestly states Trident will cost between £31bn and £41bn, but that's only the cost of manufacturing four submarines.
"Hundreds of billions for a nuclear weapons system that does nothing to address the real and serious security threats we face - like terrorism and cyberwarfare - but not enough money for schools, hospitals, welfare and jobs. That just doesn't make sense to the majority of the population."
Stephen Magorrian, managing director of Botanic Inns, said current legislation was "no longer fit for purpose".
Alcohol can only be served between 17:00 and 23:00 on Good Friday.
Bars have to stop serving at midnight on Thursday night and Easter Saturday.
On Easter Sunday bars and restaurants have to stop serving alcohol at 22:00.
During a recent public consultation on licensing laws, which closed in November 2012, the DUP Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland proposed extending opening hours over the Easter period.
Mr McCausland had proposed extending serving times by one hour to 01:00 on the Thursday before Easter and on Easter Saturday.
The department told the BBC that if they extend the hours the earliest these changes could be introduced would be 2014.
There are no plans to extend the laws on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Thursday - midnight
Good Friday - 23:00
Easter Saturday - midnight
Easter Sunday - 22:00
Stephen Magorrrian said the legislation was difficult to justify.
"In a country where tourism is being promoted as such a big hope it just doesn't make any sense," he said.
"This is always a quiet weekend for us with the worst night being Easter Saturday. We employ less staff during this weekend and have to send staff home early so they also earn less money.
"We should have normal opening hours and if people feel that they do not want to go to a bar and drink they don't have to.
"The government have spent so much money on campaigns like Back in Belfast and Our Time Our Place only to go and basically close the city during one of our busiest tourism periods."
Father Raymond McCullagh, chaplain at Coleraine University of Ulster Campus believes Easter should still be a time for reflection.
"We live in a society that has been shaped by our shared Christian heritage and Good Friday and Easter Sunday are the pinnacle of the Christian calendar so I think it's good to acknowledge that," he said.
"Easter also gives us an opportunity to think about other issues. On Good Friday we have an opportunity to think about those who don't even have water to drink never mind alcohol."
Colin Neill from Pubs of Ulster thinks that it's not a "black and white discussion" because religious views are involved.
He said: "I think religious views should be included in the conversation but I think it's a case of what is it really about. You can only buy alcohol in a pub between 17:00 and 23:00 on Good Friday but you can buy alcohol in a shop from 08:00 so those who want to go and drink in a park can so it's clearly not about alcohol.
"There are certain times in the year that people of different religions take to reflect and Easter is certainly one of them but I don't think if you are able to have a glass of wine with your lunch on Good Friday it will affect that reflection.
"Whether we like it or not we live in a commercial world and even if some people say it's only one weekend a year that can mean that a business won't make a profit that month and that in turn affects employment.
"I'm speaking to restaurateurs who have had to tell tourists they can't have a glass of wine with their meal. Talk to a taxi driver and they will tell you they take a lot of people down to Dublin on Easter Saturday night because we shut so early.
Peter Armstrong, one of the organisers behind Open Late NI said: "There is a huge demand from local revellers, businesses and tourists for our pubs and nightclubs to open later until 03:00, 04:00, or 05:00.
"Northern Ireland attracts large numbers of tourists over the Easter weekend, and we also have thousands of people who work or study in Great Britain returning home to socialise with their family and friends.
"It should be one of the busiest times for our entertainment venues. Unfortunately the law in Northern Ireland is outdated and very restrictive, and pubs/clubs that are filled with revellers are forced to close their doors very early at Easter time.
"If our politicians really want to boost our economy, create a modern Belfast, attract more tourists and send them home with a good reputation of Northern Ireland, then the social development minister must change our licensing legislation and allow us to compete with other UK and European cities."
The 34-year-old Sweden striker, a free agent after his Paris St-Germain contract expired, has been linked with United and a move to China.
He told the media on Wednesday he would reveal his next club once he got "tired" of reading all the speculation.
Ibrahimovic played for Malmo, his first club, from 1996 to 2004.
He went on to play for Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan before joining PSG in 2012.
Responding to the transfer rumours, Ibrahimovic told reporters: "I want you to still write a lot of stories, so I get excited when I see them, because I want to see who is making up the best story.
"When I'm tired of it, I'll let you know where I will go."
Ibrahimovic is currently with the Sweden squad for Euro 2016, which is being held in France and starts on 10 June.
Cyprian Okoro, 55, from south-west London was found guilty of five counts of possessing extreme pornography and one indecent image of a child.
The Old Bailey heard the videos were of a "grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise obscene character".
Okoro was bailed for sentencing on 30 September.
Some of the five videos featured women having sex with dogs and one woman having sex with a horse.
The defendant, of Cameron Place, Streatham, had denied the charges.
But, after deliberating for less than a day, the jury found him guilty of all but two charges of possessing extreme pornography relating to bestiality with dogs.
The court heard Okoro stored the images on his mobile phone having received them via WhatsApp.
He had also moved an indecent video of a two-year-old boy into a password-protected "vault" on his phone.
Following the verdict, the jury was told it was Okoro's second conviction.
In 2014 he was handed a nine-month jail term suspended for 18 months at Norwich Crown Court after a woman made an allegation of sexual assault against him.
Judge Richard Hone QC said: "He is very lucky not to be immediately imprisoned and this was quite a bad case.
"It would be unfair to put him immediately in prison when the first trial gave him a suspended sentence - even if it was frankly, pretty lenient."
Okoro qualified as a doctor in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1986, and received an interim suspension by the General Medical Council in September 2013.
The Unite union says communities are being let down by privately-operated routes leading to falling passenger numbers and rising fares.
Scotland's buses were deregulated by Margaret Thatcher's government more than 30 years ago.
The Scottish government has said it is ploughing almost £250m a year into the bus network.
But ministers have ruled out wholesale re-regulation of buses in Scotland.
At the moment, almost all routes are operated by private companies, which do not have to run services which are unprofitable.
Unite said this approach had failed communities and has petitioned the Scottish Parliament, calling for a change in policy to allow local authorities to control bus services.
Buses to rural communities tend to be the least profitable for operators - and so these routes are most vulnerable to being cut or severely reduced.
The village of Banton, North Lanarkshire, is not the most isolated community in Scotland by a long way. It is just a few miles from a major A-road and the M80.
But those few miles make all the difference to how well it is served by buses.
It already has a limited bus service and the current provision could be under threat. Margaret Chalmers has lived in Banton for 20 years. She does not have a car and told BBC Scotland she relied completely on public transport.
I normally go to Falkirk or Kirkintilloch, but the thing is now we need to get off at Kilsyth and wait and try and get another bus," she said.
"And they're talking now about putting the Falkirk one off as well and it's just not fair on us people that don't drive."
Ms Chalmers said the limited timetable made it difficult to get to health centre appointments - or to leave the village at all at a weekend.
"We've no bus on a Sunday either. We're marooned out here basically. A wee lost village," she said.
Buses are Scotland's most-used form of public transport. Four times as many journeys were made by bus than train in 2015-16.
That year, there were 407 million bus journeys made in Scotland. A whopping number, no doubt - but that's a reduction from 414 million the previous year.
There's been a decade-long decline in the number of routes, and fares have risen.
Some think the way bus services are run could be a cause of this decline.
Train services are run by a single operator, ScotRail. But over 200 bus companies are involved in running Scotland's bus network.
When ScotRail fall below their targets, they're the focus for complaints. Bus firms are judged by different standards - and holding them to account is difficult.
In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher deregulated Scotland's bus service. Routes were opened up to competition. The Iron Lady argued this would increase choice for bus passengers, and drive down fares.

Young people living in the village of 400 - who are probably among the least likely to own a car - are also worried about the possible loss of a vital transport link.
School pupil Eilidh Dunsmore said: "If I stay after school, I wouldn't be able to get the bus if the bus stopped and I'd have to rely on my parents then. But my parents might be at work so I won't be able to do that.
"I can't get to work and I can't get to go out with my friends or anything so it'll be difficult. When I leave school I won't be able to go to college without relying on my mum and dad."
In Scotland, more people use buses than any other form of public transport. The services are mostly run by hundreds of private bus firms.
Unite has pointed to changes being made in England which give powers to councils to regulate buses.
Pat Rafferty, the union's Scottish secretary, has argued that this could lead to a much better service for rural areas.
"You can't have it that you're handing over such a vital service to the community to a private sector firm and allowing that firm to dictate what it will and won't do in terms of that service to the public," he said.
"It needs to be expressed and stipulated and a control given and regulations given to local authorities and the Scottish government about what you are required to do as part of that tender process."
Unite took its petition to the Scottish Parliament on Thursday.
The convener of the Public Petitions Committee, Johann Lamont, said "compelling evidence" of problems facing bus users had been presented.
"While bus companies are subsidised to the tune of £2.6bn, routes have dropped by 26 million since and fares are up by 18% since 2007," she said.
"Meanwhile, 40% of bus income comes from the public purse, and more journeys by bus are made than any other form of transport, with lower income groups and communities particularly targeted by reduced services.
"There is clearly an issue here on the level of public subsidy for a service which, based on the evidence we have heard, does not adequately serve the public."
A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said: "The Scottish government is committed to improving bus services and the workings of the current regulatory framework, and look to work in partnership with bus operators and local transport authorities to improve bus services.
"Whilst we have no plans for wholesale re-regulation we do want to see more people using our public transport networks.
"That is why we continue to work with users and stakeholders to see where we can improve funding and regulation, including via the upcoming Transport Bill."
Middle-ability students and those whose parents lack qualifications benefit most from positive feedback, according to the Cambridge University research.
The students were tracked for seven years from the age of 13 onwards.
This is the first study of its kind to quantify the effect of encouragement on pupils, says the university.
"When people speak of a positive school experience, they frequently cite a personal relationship with a teacher and the encouragement they were given," said report author Dr Ben Alcott.
"Our research helps quantify that impact and show its significance, particularly for addressing social mobility."
The 4,300 teenagers, who were all in the same school year and from more than 600 schools across England, completed a detailed questionnaire every year between 2003 and 2010.
In Year 11, the last year of compulsory education at the time, they were asked whether a teacher had encouraged them to stay on in full-time education.
The researchers used mathematical modelling to cross-reference pupils' responses with their subsequent life histories, including whether they did A-levels and whether they went to university.
They were also grouped according to other factors such as level of parental education and household income.
"This approach brings us plausibly close to reading the long-term effect of encouragement from teachers," said Dr Alcott.
Among students who said they had received encouragement, 74% continued with their education after 16, compared with 66% among pupils who did not receive encouragement.
For pupils in the middle third for attainment, the effect of encouragement was even more pronounced - 64% of those who received encouragement did A-levels, compared with 52% among those who did not.
And this difference persisted, with 46% of pupils in this group who said they had received encouragement going to university, compared with 36% of those who did not.
For students whose parents lacked formal qualifications, 64% of those who received encouragement, continued with their studies after 16, compared with 52% of those whose teachers had not encouraged them - and at university level there was still a 10 percentage point gap between the two groups.
Dr Alcott, himself a former teacher, said the results suggested that the relationships that teachers developed with students "are real engines for social mobility".
"Many teachers take the initiative to encourage students," he said.
"It's important that teachers know the effect their efforts have and the children likely to benefit most."
The interviews were carried out as part of the Department for Education's Longitudinal Study of Young People in England, and the study is published in the journal Research in Higher Education.
The shadow education secretary accused the government of failing in its pledge to protect school spending.
There were also calls from Conservative MPs for a re-think on proposed changes to funding.
But Education Secretary Justine Greening said schools were already receiving record levels of funding.
She told MPs that she accepted there were "cost pressures" but that schools had "significant scope for efficiencies".
But Ms Rayner called on the education secretary to tell schools how they should reduce spending.
"So what is your plan? Do you want schools to cut subjects, increase class sizes or make parents foot the bill?" she asked.
Labour MP Andrew Slaughter accused the education secretary of showing an "extraordinary degree of complacency".
Opposition MPs highlighted a National Audit Office report that schools faced £3bn in spending cuts and a forecast from the Institute for Fiscal Studies of an 8% real-term cut.
Ms Greening also faced some tough questions from her own backbenches.
They focused on the proposed National Funding Formula, which will overhaul how school spending is allocated, with calls for a "radical" re-think in how it should be calculated.
The new funding formula is intended to resolve longstanding anomalies in levels of funding.
"We know that parents and families see this unfairness playing out and it is simply untenable, I believe, to now stand up and say that these historical imbalances and differences in how we are funding our children across the country are ones that we should accept," said Ms Greening.
She said funding levels needed to keep up with changing needs - and gentrification in London meant that the number of pupils eligible for free meals had reduced.
But she heard dissatisfaction with the outcomes from a series of Conservative MPs, who had expected their local schools to receive a higher level of funding.
They called for changes to the plans, which are still under consultation.
And there warnings from the Tory backbenches that the current plans would mean teacher job cuts or even the closure of schools.
Neil Carmichael, who chairs of the Education Select Committee, suggested there needed to be a mechanism for a more substantial increase for schools in areas that had a long problem with underfunding.
But there were other Tory MPs who supported the revised funding levels.
Michael Tomlinson said the current allocations had no consistency or link to need but were based on "historical anomalies and that is why I wholeheartedly support the principle of fairer funding".
James Berry said the existing funding system was not fair - and that "whenever there is a reorganisation of a funding formula there will be winners and losers, unless we have a massive increase in funding to level up rather than level down".
There were complaints about the funding re-distribution from MPs with inner-city constituencies, which stand to lose.
Stephen Twigg, MP for Liverpool West Derby, said that 80% of schools in Liverpool were set to have budget cuts.
Labour's Angela Rayner described the changes as "robbing Peterborough to pay for Poole".
But the Department for Education said that in practice both Peterborough and Poole would be beneficiaries from the changes.
The dispute over school funding has been escalating - with head teachers threatening that they could have to start cutting hours or operating four-day weeks.
The Grammar School Heads' Association warned on Wednesday that they could have to ask parents for payments.
The children's agency Unicef also says 95,000 children and teenagers - most of them in Latin America and the Caribbean - were murdered in 2012 alone.
It notes that children around the globe are routinely exposed to violence, including bullying.
The document draws on data from 190 countries.
The violence "cuts across boundaries of age, geography, religion, ethnicity and income brackets,'' Unicef executive director Anthony Lake said.
Violence against children
Source: Unicef report
"It occurs in places where children should be safe, their homes, schools and communities.
"Increasingly, it happens over the internet, and it's perpetrated by family members and teachers, neighbours and strangers and other children.''
The study revealed that about six out of 10 children aged between two and 14 were subjected to physical punishment from their carers on a regular basis.
One in three girls, aged between 15 and 19, who had at some time been in cohabiting relationships, had been victims of emotional, physical or sexual violence committed by their husbands or partners, the report said.
Partner violence appeared to be particularly prevalent in countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, the report said.
Of the countries surveyed, nearly half of all girls aged 15-19 believed that a husband was justified in hitting his wife under certain circumstances, the study added.
Meanwhile, homicide was reported as the leading cause of death in boys and men aged 10-19 in many Latin American countries, such as Venezuela, Panama, Brazil and Colombia.
Nigeria had the highest number of child homicides - 13,000, while the US had the highest homicide rate among countries in Western Europe and North America.
Research showed that violence was "detrimental to all aspects of a child's growth... with sometimes lifelong repercussions," the report said.
It noted that while there had been growing recognition in recent years about the impact of violence against children, it largely remained underreported and undocumented.
The report stressed that violence against children in some countries remained socially accepted or tacitly condoned, and quite often victims were too afraid to report the abuse.
Never before have so many statistics been gathered from so many different countries, and together they have produced a grim global audit of violence against children, the BBC's Nick Bryant at the UN says.
Ben Phillips, 17, died in hospital after a collision with a car at the junction of Belle Vale Road and Lee Vale Road, on Thursday.
His mother Andrea Phillips said "loved to go fishing but motorbikes were his passion from such an early age."
Merseyside Police said he had no helmet on or protective clothing.
Ms Phillips said Ben "could only be described as the most loving, caring, generous son anyone could ask for.
"He had the most impeccable manners and respect for anyone he met."
She added: "Ben spent a lot a time with his girlfriend of five years, Toni. He also had a great set of friends who loved him dearly. He touched so many people's lives in his short life."

The Everton striker was asked by England boss Gareth Southgate to be involved against Malta and Slovakia.
"Every time I was selected was a real privilege but I believe now is the time to bow out," said the 31-year-old.
The former Manchester United captain scored 53 times in 119 internationals.
Rooney, overlooked by Southgate for matches against Scotland and France in June, made his England debut in February 2003, in a 3-1 defeat by Australia at Upton Park.
He made his major tournament debut as an 18-year-old at Euro 2004, and his last international appearance was as captain in last November's 3-0 victory over Scotland at Wembley.
Rooney rejoined boyhood club Everton in the summer, and his announcement comes two days after he scored his 200th Premier League goal in a 1-1 draw at Manchester City.
After that game, he said he was "focusing on Everton" rather than an international recall.
"I'm sure I'll speak to Gareth Southgate over the next few days," he added. "We'll see what happens."
Southgate is due to name a squad on Thursday for the World Cup qualifiers in Malta on 1 September, and at home to Slovakia three days later.
It was great Gareth Southgate called me this week to tell me he wanted me back in the England squad for the upcoming matches. I really appreciated that.
However, having already thought long and hard, I told Gareth that I had now decided to retire for good from international football.
It is a really tough decision and one I have discussed with my family, my manager at Everton and those closest to me.
Playing for England has always been special to me. Every time I was selected as a player or captain was a real privilege and I thank everyone who helped me. But I believe now is the time to bow out.
Leaving Manchester United was a tough call but I know I made the right decision in coming home to Everton. Now I want to focus all my energies on helping them be successful.
I will always remain a passionate England fan. One of my very few regrets is not to have been part of a successful England tournament side. Hopefully the exciting players Gareth is bringing through can take that ambition further and I hope everyone will get behind the team.
One day the dream will come true and I look forward to being there as a fan - or in any capacity.
BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty
Rooney retires from international football as England's record goalscorer - and perhaps with his contribution undervalued.
The 31-year-old's career was a mixture of highs and lows after he truly burst on the global scene as a teenager at Euro 2004, and Rooney will forever be associated with an outstanding group of club players who could not replicate their domestic and European success at international level.
Rooney did not score at a World Cup until his third attempt - eventually netting against Uruguay in Brazil in 2014 - but he was also a player who carried England on so many occasions and his place in the history books is testimony to his outstanding contribution over so many years.
He performed selflessly, often in unfamiliar roles, and his commitment was unquestioned. For all the occasional demands for Rooney to be dropped during his England career, there was rarely much proof they would have been a better team without him.
England's lack of success during his time on the international scene will always be a source of frustration and regret, but history may be kinder to Rooney on reflection upon an stellar career.

Former England striker Alan Shearer, who announced his own international retirement at 29, said that Rooney's club career would benefit.
"Everton will benefit hugely I'm sure because he won't be flying around the world playing in tournaments, qualifiers and the rest," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Instead he will be sat at home having a rest and coming into training energised rather than stiff and tired from playing aboard and travelling back."
Ex England manager Roy Hodgson made Rooney his captain in August 2014 following Steven Gerrard's retirement and said the forward relished the responsibility.
"He was very good with me and the rest of the staff in putting across our messages to the players and keeping us informed on everything that was happening," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Most importantly, he was very good with the younger players. He is older but he has the ability to bond with them.
"He is a great patriot and he could not wait to put the shirt on.
"If we ever thought it was good for him to have a rest we had to wrestle with him and impose it upon him. If it was up to him, he would play every minute, every second!"
Former England and Manchester United teammate Phil Neville says Rooney's international retirement is a "sad day" as he is England's "greatest ever goalscorer".
"I remember when he first got into the squad - the youthfulness, the bravery, the courage that he showed, particularly in his first major tournament at Euro 2004," Neville told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He was a breath of fresh air. No-one enjoyed playing for England more than Wayne Rooney."
Neville added: "It's obviously a day we should be celebrating but also it's a sad day, losing one of our finest ever players. He's definitely the greatest goalscorer we've ever had.
"Now I hope he gets the send-off and the plaudits that he deserves."
Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who gave Rooney his debut, said he was surprised by the decision.
Speaking to BBC World Service, he said: "If he goes on playing like he is now, scoring goals for Everton, then he could still have been an important player for England, with the World Cup less than a year away.
"If I was the England manager, I would have done everything to convince Rooney to play at the World Cup and then make a decision."
Eriksson, who was England boss from 2001-2006, added: "I remember when training was finished Rooney didn't want to leave the training ground, he wanted to stay and do free-kicks, shooting etc. He loves his football and that is why he became what he became."

Jamie's father had sent him the first few chapters of the racy novel he'd been secretly writing.
"I naively assumed it would be some story of swashbuckling pirates or a spy thriller. It was only when I started reading it that I discovered he'd been penning porn," says Jamie, 29.
Bodice-ripping sentences he stumbled over included "the job interviewer had just asked her to remove her jacket and silk blouse" and "her black brassiere was working overtime".
Following the initial shock, Jamie decided to read his dad's adult literature to some friends down the pub. They immediately collapsed with laughter and piled in with their comments and critiques.
The evening was so much fun that it inspired London-based Jamie to launch a podcast called My Dad Wrote A Porno. Every week he and his friends, James Cooper and Alice Levine, discuss and analyse a different chapter of his father's unintentionally funny book, which is called Belinda Blinked.
Since its launch in September 2015 the podcast has been a surprise hit, surpassing 50 million downloads worldwide, and regularly dominating Apple's iTunes podcast chart.
Listening to podcasts - digital audio files - that you stream or download to your mobile phone or computer has shot up in recent years.
The US continues to lead the way, with almost a quarter of Americans over the age of 12 - about 67 million people - now listening to at least one podcast every month, according to the Podcast Consumer 2017 report by Edison Research. The 24% figure compares with just 9% in 2008.
Separate figures show that 10% of UK adults are now downloading podcasts, up from 6.5% in autumn 2015.
While for many people making their podcast is a happy hobby, for an increasing number - such as Jamie Morton - it can be a very lucrative business.
So how can podcast makers make money? With most podcasts being given away for free, the answer is advertising revenues, but if you aren't an expert on the advertising industry, securing adverts may seem like an impossible challenge.
Help is at hand from the growing number of podcast platforms that connect podcasters with advertisers. Podcast platforms that offer this service, including Swedish start-up firm Acast and the UK's Audioboom.
My Dad Wrote A Porno uses Acast, and Jamie says: "Acast secures the [advertising] deals, and then we record specific sponsorship reads that we slot into the show."
What Jamie means by "reads" is that he or one of his fellow hosts will read out a message from the sponsor of the episode or series.
He adds that they then try to make the sponsor "relevant" to the show.
"It's a really great way of doing it because it makes them feel fully integrated into the podcast, and we're able to put our personal spin on them, and find editorially relevant ways of weaving sponsorship into the tone of our specific show."
While podcast expert Tom Webster, of research group Edison, agrees that the adverts work best when they "feel like part of the content", other commentators have questioned whether such an approach is being fair to the listeners.
These critics argue that there should always be a clear delineation between the content and the adverts, so that the listener knows exactly what is commercially paid for.

In terms of how much money is now spent on podcast advertising, media firm ZenithOptimedia estimated last year that the 2016 figure for the US would be $35m (£27m). This is a tiny fraction of the $18bn spent on radio advertising in the US last year, but podcast advertising is growing steadily.
While Acast won't reveal exact figures for how much money its users make from advertising, it says that its "top podcasters can bring in tens of thousands of dollars a month from brands".
Acast's co-founder Karl Rosander adds that podcasters "can make a very good living if you have a popular show".
Meanwhile, Mr Webster says that to earn serious money, podcast creators need to be achieving more than 100,000 downloads a month.
In addition to a slice of the advertising revenues, podcasters can also choose to put out "premium content", such as special edition episodes that people have to pay for.
Podcasting can also lead to other revenue streams.
Swedish podcaster Kristoffer Triumf, founder of weekly entertainment industry podcast Varvet, has been able to earn additional money from hosting live talk shows and has even released a spin-off board game.
Back at My Dad Wrote A Porno the team has started taking its show on tour.
Jamie says: "Live shows have been a really exciting thing to do, and we're taking our show up to the Edinburgh Fringe later this year, and also embarking on a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
"We sold out the Sydney Opera House in one day, and added an extra night due to the demand, which is incredibly exciting."
But while some podcasters sing the praises of the likes of Acast and Audioboom, others deliberately avoid them.
London-based Imriel Morgan and Efe Jerome run the Shout Out Network, a podcast network dedicated to representing diversity. Its five podcasts include Millennials of Colour, which covers issues from mental health to poverty, and are available via its own website or Apple's Podcast app.
Imriel says they prefer to work directly with advertisers so that they can have strict control over what adverts are connected to their podcasts, something she claims isn't possible via Acast or Audioboom.
"We have had a few meetings with Acast and Audioboom and have opted not to go with them," says Imriel.
"We think their method isn't suited to our audience. They monetise content and place ads next to your content - I don't want ads on the content that we haven't listened to before.
"For example, we are happy to advertise, say cars and health products, but [with those platforms] you don't know what that brand might be. We are completely against that. We have a lot of trust with our listeners."
For anyone wishing to start a podcast, Jamie Morton says it is crucial to find an original angle if you want it to be a success.
"It's such a saturated marketplace and because anyone can make a podcast there's a lot of competition," he says.
He adds that making money should definitely not be your prime concern.
"I think with anything creative, if you set out making something to earn money from it it's probably not going to work out that well."

Paula Vasco-Knight admitted paying her husband Stephen, 46, for work on a publication which never existed.
She was CEO at South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and national lead for equalities for NHS England at the time.
The 53-year old was given a 16-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to do 250 hours unpaid work by Exeter Crown Court.
More on the sentencing and other stories from the South West >
Mr Vasco-Knight admitted submitting an invoice to the NHS in 2013 knowing he had not produced any work.
He was sentenced to 10 months, suspended for two years, for his involvement and ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work.
The pair initially pleaded not guilty to fraud but later changed their plea to guilty.
When questioned by police the pair provided a document which they claimed Mr Vasco-Knight had produced.
But it emerged material in it was copied from a document from the King's Fund which had not been publicly available at the time the couple claimed it had been created.
Mrs Vasco-Knight was given an honorary doctorate by the University of Exeter in 2013 and received a CBE in 2014 for her work as an ambassador for equality and diversity within NHS England.
In one set of ratings the hospital was ranked as the 10th best performing in the country in 2012 and she was named as the best in her field at the NHS Leadership Recognition Awards in that year.
Sue Frith, managing director of NHS Protect, which conducted the investigation, said afterwards: "Between them, Paula and Stephen Vasco-Knight defrauded over £11,000 of NHS money that was sorely needed for its intended purposes."
Sid Anand told fans there would be none of the singing and dancing often associated with Bollywood however.
"I wouldn't do that to Rambo," he told the BBC. "That's like blasphemy."
The movie is being launched at the Cannes Film Festival - though filming doesn't start until later this year.
Indian star Tiger Shroff is taking on the titular role.
On his decision to launch the project in Cannes, Anand said: "Rambo is a global icon. He resonates in every part of the world, so it's important to start our campaign at the Mecca of film-making."
He said he was driven to remake the movie because of the strength of the character of the "true blue action hero with a heart", immortalised by Stallone.
Anand said he had a script which will "resonate in India" - but warned: "It could be controversial like Rambo First Blood was in the 80s.
"It makes you think, and is about a situation that's prevailing in India and is unique in that way."
Stallone had posted a message on social media last week, saying Rambo was a "great character", adding: "Hope they don't wreck it."
But he later sent a message to Shroff himself, wishing him the best of luck.
"He has been kind enough to Tweet about it. It's like an endorsement from God himself," said Anand.
Asked what fans of the original will think, he said: "I'm aware there will be polarised reaction from the fans of Rambo who don't want it messed with. I have to make it worthy of the legacy of what Rambo means.
"Those kinds of films aren't really made any more. So that made me excited to bring it to a young generation."
Shroff, 27, said he thought the project was "too good to be true" when he was first approached about it.
He said: "In my eyes, Sylvester Stallone will always be Rambo. He's my hero.
"I don't want to replace him, but to give a different take on it. They are huge shoes to fill."
Shroff told the BBC it was "heart-warming" to receive social media messages from Stallone.
Shooting on the film - due for release in 2018 - starts in the Himalayas at the end of the year.

The milestone reflects a return to growth for exports of Scotch more widely, with nearly £4bn of overseas sales in total.
Exports account for around 93% of production.
That follows a dip in 2014 and 2015, when a rapid increase in previous growth was checked by disrupted overseas markets.
Chinese officialdom cracked down on lavish hospitality, while key growth markets in Venezuela and Brazil hit serious economic difficulties.
British exports of gin, meanwhile, rose by 13% last year, as it enjoyed a boom in variety and interest, rising to £474m worth.
The return to growth for Scotch whisky has been driven by the success of single malts appealing to luxury and prestige markets.
These have to be made at one distillery, from malted barley, and matured for at least three years in traditional casks.
They are led by brands including Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, the Macallan, Jura, Laphroaig, Talisker and Highland Park.
Figures issued this month by HM Revenue and Customs trade shows the amount of pure spirit exported as single malt in 2016 was equivalent to 113m standard bottles at 40% strength.
That did not rise as fast from 2015 as the value placed on single malts, as distillers find new expressions and add new features with which to add super-premium value.
These include longer maturation, stronger, cask-strength versions, and different types of cask flavouring.
The total value of single malt exports reached £1.02bn, up from £914m in 2015.
It now represents nearly 10% of the volume of Scotch exported, and more than 25% of its value.
The total value of Scotch whisky exported from the UK last year reached £3.999bn. That was a rise from £3.845bn in 2015. The previous three years were above £4bn, peaking in 2012 at £4.283bn.
The USA remained the biggest market for the value of sales, rising from £749m to £854m.
France remained the biggest importer of Scotch by volume, with 189m bottles. The value of sales in France was £424m, of which single malts made up £153m.
Other major markets for Scotch include India. It has high trade barriers to bottled Scotch, but the country's distillers import large quantities in bulk, for mixing with "Indian-made foreign liquor".
The value of exports to India was up from £85m in 2015 to £96m last year.
Singapore is a distribution centre for south-east Asia and one indicator of the strength of the Chinese market for Scotch. Sales there were £224m, up from £210m in 2015 and £200m the previous year.
Single malt sales have been an important part of the success of whisky in China. Although the value of the premium brands fell from £52m to £46m, the volume sold went up to 9.6m bottles.
Further analysis of the figures by Leon Kuebler, head of research at WhiskyInvestDirect, an online marketplace, showed the impact of the weaker pound helped the value of sales accelerate.
In the first half of 2016, the value of exports was down 1% while volumes increased. But after the European referendum and the slump in the value of sterling, the value of sales rose nearly 7%, and faster than volume increases.
That research also noted the rise in exports to Spain, which was a big consumer of Scotch until the financial crash. The value has returned to its highest level since 2007.
The second-placed U's were reduced to 10 men after just 16 minutes when John Lundstram was shown a straight red for a reckless challenge on Michael Tonge.
Oxford skipper Liam Sercombe then had his second-half penalty saved after Jones manhandled Danny Hylton, but he made amends in the 58th minute with his 14th goal of the season.
But Boro equalised when Byron Harrison fired home from Greg Luer's pass.
Stevenage sit 22nd in the League Two table, seven points above the drop zone.
Lundtsram's red card means the 22-year-old playmaker will now miss Oxford United's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final against Barnsley at Wembley on 3 April.
The 31-year-old told BBC Sport: "It's not the result I wanted in Gabon but after playing in two Nations Cup finals and winning in 2015, this is the end.
"I have not decided whether to retire from international football completely.
"I will go back to my club (Hertha Berlin) and take time to decide."
Ivory Coast are top of their World Cup qualifying group after two matches and Kalou may be tempted by the prospect of playing at the finals for a third time.
He has also played at six Nations Cups - making his debut at the 2008 tournament in Ghana - and was a losing finalist in 2012 before lifting the trophy three years later.
Kalou has made a total of 89 appearances for the Elephants, scoring 28 goals.
If he retires form internationals completely it would leave only Gervinho, who was ruled out of this year's Nations Cup with injury, as the sole member of the Ivory Coast's so-called golden generation still playing for the team.
Other stars like Didier Drogba, Didier Zokora, Kolo and Yaya Toure have all quit the team in the last few years.
But despite the difficulties Ivory Coast have faced in replacing the star names - and failing to win a game in Gabon - Kalou is confident the Elephants are in safe hands.
"I know the future is bright for my country because we have younger players like (Jonathan) Kodjia, (Franck) Kessie and (Wilfried) Zaha," he said.
Their stories are all different, but the landmark case centred on whether religious principles had a place in the modern British workplace.
It culminated in a ruling in favour of British Airways worker Nadia Eweida, but dismissal of the legal actions in the other three cases.
Ms Eweida - a Pentecostal Christian of Egyptian descent - went home from a job as a check-in worker for British Airways (BA) at Heathrow Airport after she refused to conceal her silver cross necklace.
The 59-year-old from Twickenham, south-west London, left work in October 2006 after she was told her necklace breached BA's uniform code.
At the time, the airline had banned the wearing of any visible item of adornment around the neck, but this was changed in 2007 to allow staff to display a faith or charity symbol with the uniform.
Ms Eweida did not return to work until February 2007, after the policy was changed, and was not paid for the time she was absent from work.
She decided to sue BA on the grounds of religious discrimination, but lost her case at an employment tribunal in January 2008.
After the tribunal she expressed her disappointment, saying: "I'm speechless really because I went to the tribunal to seek justice."
She appealed against the decision, but lost the case at the Employment Appeal Tribunal in January 2008.
The judge ruled the wearing of the cross was not discriminatory, because Christians "generally" do not consider it to be a requirement of the religion.
Ms Eweida then took her case to the Court of Appeal, but was again unsuccessful at overturning the ruling in February 2010.
In January 2013, European Court of Human Rights judges found in her favour.
Marriage registrar Lillian Ladele worked for Islington Borough Council in London. When civil partnerships were legalised in 2004, Miss Ladele refused to conduct them, saying it was against her religious beliefs.
In December 2007, the local authority changed the rules governing their registrar's working conditions.
Miss Ladele went from effectively working on a freelance basis, which allowed her to swap civil partnership ceremonies with colleagues, to a system which granted her far less flexibility.
Miss Ladele argued she was being forced by the north London council to chose between her religious beliefs and her job. She claimed she was shunned and accused of being homophobic for refusing to carry out the ceremonies.
In July 2008, an employment tribunal ruled in Miss Ladele's favour, agreeing that she had been harassed.
At the time, Miss Ladele hailed the decision as a "victory for religious liberty".
But in December that year the Employment Appeal Tribunal reversed the ruling, and it was upheld for a second time by the Court of Appeal in 2009.
The Supreme Court refused to allow Miss Ladele to appeal again, prompting her decision to consider taking her case to the European Court of Human Rights.
But the European judges rejected her action in January 2013.
In a similar case to Ms Eweida, former nurse Mrs Chaplin was also asked not to display her cross necklace by her then employers, the Royal Devon and Exeter Foundation NHS Trust.
They also claimed during the case, in 2009, that the 56-year-old's necklace breached health and safety guidelines, because it could be grabbed by a patient and potentially hurt Mrs Chaplin.
She had worn the cross on the wards for 30 years without incident, and offered to have a quick-release magnetic clasp fitted, which the hospital refused.
Hospital officials said they discussed several ways the ward sister could wear the cross, including concealing it under her clothes, but when the nurse refused she was asked to work behind a desk instead of with patients.
Her discrimination case was heard by an Employment Appeal Tribunal in 2010, but they failed to uphold her complaint.
When Mrs Chaplin, from Exeter, decided to pursue the case at the ECHR in March 2012, she told the BBC she did not realise the strength of her faith - until it was questioned.
"It was a case of my job or my faith - and I chose my faith," she said.
She took early retirement last year in response to the row.
In their ruling in January 2013, European judges rejected Mrs Chaplin's legal action.
Relationship counsellor Mr McFarlane was sacked by his employer, Relate Avon, after saying he objected to giving sex therapy guidance to same-sex couples.
Employed by the national counselling service in May 2003, the former church elder from Bristol claimed his religious beliefs meant he could not promote gay sex.
The 51-year-old was suspended in October 2007 after meeting with his manager to discuss the issue, and was eventually dismissed for gross misconduct in March 2008.
Charity Christian Concern said Mr McFarlane "never refused" to provide sex therapy to a homosexual couple, but had told his managers if such a situation arose he would discuss it with them.
His case was dismissed by both an internal appeal at Relate and an employment tribunal.
In November 2009, the Employment Appeal Tribunal again refused to uphold Mr McFarlane's claims of unfair dismissal.
His application to appeal the tribunal's decision was turned down twice by the Court of Appeal in April 2010.
Speaking after the ruling, Mr McFarlane said: "There should be allowances taken into account whereby individuals like me can actually avoid having to contradict their very strongly-held Christian principles."
ECHR judges agreed with earlier rulings and dismissed the case in January 2013.
So dominant with the bat this summer, England needed 43 not out from Fran Wilson to get to a below-par 138-7.
But after Danni Wyatt ran out Sidra Ameen with a direct hit in the first over, England took regular wickets.
Nat Sciver, Jenny Gunn and Sophie Ecclestone each took two wickets as Pakistan fell 35 runs short on 103.
Chelmsford will host the final match of the women's series on Thursday, with Pakistan yet to win in five attempts in one-day internationals and T20s on the tour.
While England failed to make the most of a flat pitch and some very short boundaries, the manner in which they defended a modest total can be seen as a further positive in a new era under captain Heather Knight, following the retirement of Charlotte Edwards in May.
Still, the quality of the opposition should be noted and, although Pakistan put in an improved display, especially with the ball, they rarely threatened in the chase, showing an over-reliance on the sweep shot.
England's fielding was the difference between the sides. Wyatt's throw from point was followed by two excellent catches from wicketkeeper Amy Jones, one standing-up to medium-pacer Sciver and the other a dive when running back towards the boundary, with Wilson taking another tumbling backwards at mid-off.
As the Pakistan innings meandered to a conclusion, Sciver weighed in with a leap at mid-wicket to dismiss Sadia Yusuf off Gunn, who conceded only seven runs from four overs.
In the end, the margin of victory was comfortable, but England were indebted to Wilson, the right-hander playing her first international since 2011.
Openers Tammy Beaumont and Lauren Winfield have done the bulk of the work for England so far this summer, but after Beaumont was trapped lbw in the third over by Aiman Anwer for five, the middle order struggled to accelerate as Pakistan took all pace off the ball.
It was left to Wilson to anchor the innings. Although she managed only three boundaries in her 39-ball stay, she manoeuvred the ball and ran hard to get the hosts to a winning total.
Only a late goal from Isma Goncalves saved Hearts from defeat within the 90 minutes, but the Championship visitors won 3-1 on penalties.
Even a win in the shoot-out would not have been enough for Hearts, who needed all three points to progress.
"Of course things need to improve," Cathro, 31, told BBC Scotland.
"It's important that today we just talk about today's game. It doesn't need to be anything that's more grand than that."
Don Cowie's opener for Hearts was cancelled out by Joe Cardle's stylish finish.
Declan McManus fired the Pars in front before Goncalves' scrambled equaliser.
The result means Hearts finish third in Group B behind the Pars and Peterhead, who beat Cathro's side in midweek.
That adds to the growing pressure on the former Rio Ave, Valencia and Newcastle coach, who was appointed as Robbie Neilson's replacement in December when the Edinburgh club were third in the Scottish Premiership.
They missed out on a place in the Europa League with a fifth-placed finish last season, while a Scottish Cup defeat by city rivals Hibernian also did not endear him to supporters.
Cathro has lost half of his 30 games in charge and won just eight of them.
When asked if he had a message for the fans who made their feelings known as Cathro headed down the tunnel following the Dunfermline defeat, he said he will "not waste my time making comments or asking for anything".
He added: "I don't say anything, I will quietly continue to do my job professionally, believing in the work that we do.
"If we had the urgency and intensity that we did when we felt that we needed to push at the end for the entirety of the 90 minutes then we'd be discussing a different situation.
"Earlier in the game we were playing reasonably well, we scored a good goal. Dunfermline did well and it's a good individual goal.
"After that we started to be below the levels that we needed to be at. John Souttar is involved in an error for the goal but I take responsibility for that. I think John should have come off at half-time."
We take a look at some of the pictures of the night.
The force carried out the first investigation into South Yorkshire officers' conduct during the 1989 tragedy.
It has been claimed both colluded in a "systematic cover-up" to pin the blame on fans.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has requested more time to investigate.
However, it said it was still on track to announce whether there will be criminal charges relating to South Yorkshire Police by the end of June.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) handed its files to the CPS in January.
It is still investigating more than 170 allegations of police misconduct.
A jury concluded in April last year the 96 victims of the tragedy were unlawfully killed.
They found fans were fatally crushed at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest amid a "dangerous situation" created by police errors.

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson has made his predictions for the first 10 games of the new campaign, which include Arsenal hosting Leicester on Friday night, champions Chelsea against Burnley on Saturday and last season's runners-up Tottenham against newly promoted Newcastle on Sunday.
You can make your own predictions now - take on Lawro and other fans and try to take your team to the top of the leaderboard by playing the new-look BBC Sport Predictor game.
Lawro will be making a prediction for all 380 Premier League games this season against a variety of guests.
His opponents for the opening round of Premier League fixtures are BBC athletics commentators Brendan Foster and Steve Cram.
Foster, who supports Newcastle, and Sunderland fan Cram saw their teams swap divisions last season, with the Magpies promoted back to the Premier League at the same time as the Black Cats went down.
"It's great to have my team Newcastle back in the Premier League," said Foster. "Particularly - and he is standing next to me laughing as I say this - because Steve's team are not in the Premier League any more. So that is good news."
Cram is not confident Sunderland will bounce straight back to the top flight either, adding: "I have got friends who are a bit worried that we are going to go straight down again.
"It is not going to be easy and I would be amazed if we won promotion this season. I am always hopeful and always look on the positive side... but I don't sound confident, do I?
You can hear more of their tales of Tyne-Wear derby banter and the mixed fortunes of north east of England football clubs on Football Focus at 12:00 BST on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.

Mr Bell will visit its factory in Montreal for talks with management.
Advance orders for the new planes have stalled, with the loss-making project now destabilising its wider business.
Bombardier employs 5,500 in Northern Ireland and has spent £520m on a new factory in Belfast to build wings for the CSeries.
Mr Bell is accompanying nine local firms as they search for new business during a five-day visit.
Northern Ireland currently does £360m of export business with Canada annually.
"Canada is an important market," Mr Bell said.
"I hope this week will be beneficial to the companies and look forward to hearing of future export successes as a result."
The five members, who were all born in the same Stockport hospital, formed in 2013 and have honed their sound by rehearsing in their bassist's granddad's scaffolding yard.
They say they are influenced by the Arctic Monkeys, Abba and Oasis - and singer Tom Ogden sees similarities between themselves and other bands from Manchester: "We're working-class, five lads just doing it because we love doing it."
Their tuneful indie also recalls The La's and Teenage Fanclub, and is all delivered with a hint of The Doors' psychedelic stupor.
The five prodigies were welcomed into the world at Stepping Hill Hospital between 1991 and '97, and later met each other at school and teenage parties.
"We all live within a two-mile radius of each other," Tom says. "I don't think many people these days in bands are that close and born in the same hospital. It's quite a nice little story."
Ogden and drummer Joe Donovan have been best friends since meeting at the age of 13 on a school trip to Alton Towers for pupils with 100% attendance records. "We must've been fairly good boys," the singer admits.
Tom, Joe and bassist Charlie Salt got together when their own teenage bands fizzled out. Donovan's sister's ex-boyfriend Josh Dewhurst was known to be a hot guitarist, so they roped him in too.
And they knew Myles Kellock from parties in his flat above a curry house. "We said we needed a keyboard player and he nominated himself," Tom recalls.
"He had a broken wrist at the time. He said, 'I can do keyboards', but he couldn't. He was one of them people who could play a bit of bass, a bit of drums, he knew a C chord, and he just kind of blagged it and joined the band."
They named the new band after local pub The Blossoms - but they dropped the The. "We didn't want that," Ogden says. "We thought it sounded a bit old. Like all the old bands from the '60s."
"I've been brought up on classic pop songwriting and big choruses," says Tom, who writes and sings. "Oasis were the first band I fell in love with and still are my favourite band. The Beatles, obviously. And then you've got Abba."
Hours playing video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - released in 2002 but set in 1986 - also helped his musical education. "That's got a really good soundtrack, so that was feeding me.
"It's things like Japanese Boy by Aneka and Call Me by Blondie, The Human League, all that stuff. The kind of tunes you put on if you're going for a drink and make you feel good. And catchy. I don't think there's anything wrong with catchy."
Blossoms are the only guitar group on the Sound of 2016 list. So, in an era when inspirational new rock bands are as rare as white tigers, are Blossoms the saviours of rock 'n' roll?
They try not to play up to the stereotype of arrogant upstarts, explaining that they are "flattered" to be on the list but that there are "probably a lot of other bands out there and maybe, if you like, they could and should be" on it.
But beneath the surface, there is a confidence and determination. "I thoroughly believe we can go on and have thousands of people singing our songs back," Tom says after warming to the theme.
"I think our songs fit well in that kind of euphoria. That self belief is there. We fully believe we're good enough and we feel we deserve to be on that list."
There aren't necessarily fewer guitar bands around than before, they believe - but there are fewer good ones.
"Because of how instant everything is with the internet, there is probably more bands, but probably more average bands who kind of pollute it to the point where it's harder to find the diamonds amongst it. I'm not saying we're diamonds but…"
Tom has always watched the support acts when Blossoms have played live over the last couple of years, and tips Liverpool's The Vryll Society as another band to watch. "They are one of two or three who have blown me away," he says. "That's not a massive ratio."
He considers why more bands do not rise to the top. "Because everything's so instant, people are living lives through Instagram and giving off this false feeling. Like people in bands taking selfies and putting pictures up of themselves saying, 'Just about to do some songwriting'.
"If you stop taking pictures of yourself and actually focus on some writing, you might get something done.
"Or they have 'singer-songwriter' in their bio, but they're not, they're just in a band in the local area. I would never put anything like that on mine, but I'm actually doing something.
"I think there's a lot of pretenders out there and maybe that's why it's harder to get out. When it's real, it's real. You can spot the fakers, I think. I think we are real."
They are so down-to-earth, in fact, that their songs have been crafted and polished in the humble surroundings of the Stockport scaffolding yard owned by Charlie's granddad, where the band have made a rehearsal room in a corner of the warehouse.
"We just let loose and we can stay there as late as we want, and there is a charm in it," Tom says. "It's a really cool place. It must have helped our sound somehow, rehearsing there, to be able to be that creative. All the men who work there are all dead sound and up for a laugh."
"They look at us funny sometimes with the long hair and skinny jeans," Joe adds. "But they're used to it now."
Sharing space in the warehouse is the tunnel that once led to the pitch at Manchester City's old Maine Road stadium. "Yeah it's in there in the corner," says Tom, a big City fan. "But we don't run through it when we go to rehearse, like [ex-City hero] Shaun Goater."
The Brazillian clutched his ankle after a challenge from Didier Ndong late in a first half where Liverpool failed to turn 80% possession into clear chances.
Sunderland threatened briefly in each period, with Steven Pienaar and Duncan Watmore taking heavy touches when presented with openings.
But as Jurgen Klopp's side continued to press, it was Coutinho's replacement, Divock Origi, who found the net with what appeared to be a right-foot cross from the left side of the area.
Relive Liverpool's win over Sunderland
Coutinho suffers injury
It sparked relief at Anfield and when Ndong felled Sadio Mane in the box, James Milner converted a spot-kick to make it 14 games unbeaten in all competitions for the Reds.
They now sit second in the table, a point behind Chelsea, while Sunderland drop to bottom spot.
Coutinho's injury, coupled with admirable Sunderland resistance, kept home fans quiet for long spells.
Klopp clearly banks on Anfield being an intimidating place to visit and a return of 16 points from 18 available at home this season points to him getting his wish.
But he was visibly frustrated early in the second half when he waved to the Kop and demanded more from supporters.
Sunderland created their best opening moments later when Liverpool keeper Loris Karius dived at Watmore's feet to block and Victor Anichebe's shot in the following melee was cleared.
But Liverpool's positivity was undeniable, with full-backs Milner and Nathaniel Clyne playing high up the pitch, Emre Can repeatedly joining attacks and even centre-back Joel Matip spending long spells in midfield.
They missed chances through a Dejan Lovren header and a Georginio Wijnaldum volley. But with a touch of fortune, Origi's in-swinging cross nestled in the corner and Milner's penalty was emphatic.
With no European football to distract them and no league defeat since August, Liverpool have clear momentum. Their former skipper Steven Gerrard watched their latest win from the stands just days after his retirement. Are Klopp's men capable of landing the one honour which eluded him?
How Liverpool deal with a potential lay-off for Coutinho will be critical in whether their momentum can lead to a push for that elusive Premier League title.
His contribution of five goals and six assists in the league sums up the key role he has under Klopp and his all-round displays have seen reports of interest from Barcelona.
Against David Moyes' side Coutinho seemed to be man-marked early on. When he escaped the attentions of Jason Denayer after half an hour he took a heavy touch in the area and felt the full force of Ndong's clearance.
There was no suggestion of a foul but Coutinho's foot took the impact of both the ball and Ndong's follow-through, and he instantly waved to the bench before grimacing during treatment.
Origi's impact points to Liverpool having the resources to deal with any spell out for Coutinho. But with Mane primed to attend the African Cup of Nations with Senegal in January, Klopp will desperately hope he has not lost arguably his most creative force for long.
Moyes had spoken of "parking the double decker bus at Anfield" and for long spells that tactic was deployed.
But Sunderland clearly had confidence as a result of back-to-back wins and they threatened early on, notably when Pienaar's heavy touch gave Karius the chance to save.
Frustratingly for their travelling contingent, the Black Cats dropped deep after half an hour and never really established a footing again. Denayer played the full match in midfield yet made just seven passes. He perhaps summed up Sunderland's retreat.
"This was the most defensive team I ever saw in my life," said Klopp afterwards.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "It was an intense game for us and a deserved win at the end. Sunderland always play a defensive style and that is OK. We forced them to be that. It is the most difficult thing in world football to come through but we stayed concentrated, worked for the moment and found a way."
Sunderland manager David Moyes: "I thought we had done enough to keep them out. But overall we worked very hard to stay in the game. We were never going to come here and have lots of chances so it was always going to be tough. But we weren't going to be rolled over and we weren't."

David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, were found dead on the island of Koh Tao on 15 September.
The court was told that Mr Miller was formally identified by his father. A post-mortem examination was carried out by a Home Office pathologist.
A reward of more than £13,000 has been offered as Thai police try to find the killers of the two British tourists.
Col Kissana Phathanacharoen of the Royal Thai Police said a reward of 700,000 baht (£13,300) - was being offered for information leading to arrests of the culprits.
"We're trying to narrow our inquiries and collect more evidence. We're encouraging the public who may have information to come forward," he said.
Post-mortem examinations revealed that Miss Witheridge, from Hemsby, Norfolk, died from head wounds and Mr Miller, from Jersey, was killed by severe blows to the head and drowning.
A bloodstained garden hoe, believed to be the murder weapon, was found nearby.
About 150 police officers were posted to Koh Tao as part of the murder investigation.
A group of Burmese migrants who were interviewed by police after bloodstains were found on their clothes have been eliminated from inquiries because no matches were found between them and DNA found on Ms Witheridge and a cigarette butt at the scene.
Mr Miller's funeral will be held in Trinity in Jersey on Friday.
International and domestic services were delayed because of the hold-up at the Paris railway station, which is Europe's busiest.
But it is far from the first time such an evacuation has happened.
Another delay occurred a little more than 12 hours earlier, in the northern French city of Lille, which also has a Eurostar station.
Again, an X-ray spotted an old artillery shell, trains were diverted and the station was evacuated.
Neither Eurostar nor France's interior ministry has a record of how many times stations have been evacuated in such cases.
But searches on social media show similar hold-ups at least twice this month, twice in April, and once in September 2013, May 2012 and December 2011.
In July 2010, a British couple even brought a live artillery shell to the Gare du Nord.
An official with SNCF, France's national railway, told the BBC that such incidents were happening "fairly regularly".
"It's always Brits," he said.
"We have to teach them that it has to stop, the Eurostar has the same controls as Heathrow."
Soon after checking in at Eurostar terminals, every passenger's bag goes through an X-ray machine.
A Eurostar spokeswoman noted that there were also "clear posters up in Paris Gare du Nord letting people know what they can and can't carry when it comes to war artefacts".
But the signs clearly don't dissuade everyone at a time when David Glover, a British dealer in war memorabilia, said interest in militaria had surged around major military anniversaries.
Last year saw the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the centenary of the start of World War One. The 70th anniversary of VE Day was last weekend.
More than a billion shells were fired during WW1, and an estimated 30% of them did not explode. Many continue to be uncovered in north-east France, the scene of some of the biggest WW1 battles.
One French website that chronicles the work of bomb disposal teams says France destroys an average of 467 tonnes of old ordnance a year.
Shells dating from WW1 are on sale online for between £45 ($70) and £85 ($133). One British collector said it was "not hard at all" to find old shells in French flea markets.
Much of it is found during the so-called "iron harvest", the time of year French and Belgian farmers accidentally unearth old shells while ploughing their land.
"The problem is, they look like the real thing," said Mr Glover. "So you should strip [deactivated shells] all apart, and make sure all the components are separate, when you transport them.
"But if you're going to France, buying ordnance and intending to travel back with it, I wouldn't advise it. It comes down to common sense.
"If someone is as daft as to bring back a live grenade, for example, they deserve to have the book thrown at them."
The UN and its partners are stepping up deliveries of food, water and medicine, and plan to reach more than 150,000 people over the next five days.
They hope to help 1.7 million in hard-to-reach areas by the end of March.
Earlier, the UN's secretary general said the cessation of hostilities had held "by and large" since Saturday.
Ban Ki-moon also said a taskforce monitoring compliance, co-chaired by the US and Russia, would meet for the first time to evaluate alleged violations.
France has expressed concern about reports of air strikes by Syrian government and Russian aircraft on areas controlled by mainstream rebel forces.
Russia has said that it is only targeting UN-designated jihadist terrorist organisations - including the so-called Islamic State (IS) and the al-Nusra Front, which is part of a major rebel alliance - in line with the terms of the cessation of hostilities.
Meanwhile US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter stressed that the US-led coalition would also continue to fight IS during the truce.
"Let me make it crystal clear," he told a news conference in Washington. "There is no cessation of hostilities in the counter-ISIL [IS] campaign. Operations continue unabated."
The relative calm on the ground around the capital Damascus allowed 10 aid lorries carrying blankets and hygiene supplies to entered the suburb of Muadhamiya on Monday afternoon, Syrian Arab Red Crescent officials said.
On Wednesday, the UN and its partners plan to deliver aid to the rebel-held towns of Madaya and Zabadani, in the mountains north-west of Damascus, and the government-controlled towns of Foah and Kefraya, in the northern province of Idlib.
This is now a crucial window of opportunity for the UN to get food and aid to the besieged. The truce has, in general, remained intact despite both the Western-backed opposition and regime sides complaining of dozens of violations over the weekend, including air strikes around Aleppo.
But it is unclear whether the target was the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra front, which would not constitute a ceasefire breach since it and the so-called Islamic State are not included in the deal.
A rebel spokesman talked of violations "here and there" but also of a situation much better than before. Moscow also complained of incidents but said on the whole, the ceasefire was being implemented.
That it has largely held for the weekend has defied expectations but there is still a lot of scepticism that it can continue for the full two weeks.
They are also expected to attempt another air-drop over the eastern city of Deir al-Zour, where 200,000 people in government-held areas are under siege by IS.
High winds and parachute failures meant that pallets carrying 21 tonnes of food dropped last week either missed their target, went missing or were damaged.
The UN says more than 450,000 Syrians are trapped in 15 besieged towns and villages under siege, while 4.1 million others are living in hard-to-reach areas.
"Some of these people have not been receiving assistance for months or even up to a year in some cases, so it's really, really important that we get food in and other kinds of assistance," Greg Barrow of the World Food Programme told the BBC.
"We're very concerned about the nutritional status of people living in those areas that have really been sealed off from the outside world," he added.
The UN's secretary general meanwhile told reporters in Geneva that "by and large the cessation of hostilities is holding, even though we have experienced some incidents".
The taskforce monitoring the truce is "now trying to make sure that this does not spread any further and that this cessation of hostilities can continue", he added.
Mr Ban also confirmed receiving a letter from the main opposition umbrella group, the High Negotiations Committee, in which it urged the UN to help "specify the territory covered by the truce to prevent hostilities in the designated inclusion zones".
The HNC's general co-ordinator, Riad Hijab, wrote that since Saturday there had been seven barrel-bomb attacks, 24 cases of artillery shelling and five cases of ground attacks by government forces, resulting in a large number of civilian deaths. Russian warplanes had meanwhile carried out 26 air strikes on territory held by rebel forces abiding by the truce on Sunday alone, he added.
Mr Hijab warned that continued violations would jeopardise the resumption of UN-brokered talks aimed at finding a political solution to the five-year conflict.
State media said armed groups had fired dozens of mortar rounds at government forces in Latakia province on Sunday, though rebels in the area denied the reports.
Why is there a war in Syria?
Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, four years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.
What's the human cost?
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe.
How has the world reacted?
Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are supporting the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran have pro-Assad forces on the ground, while Russia and a Western-led coalition are carrying out air strikes.
Syria's civil war explained
John Mervyn Thompson, 49, from Dowland Road in Limavady, pleaded guilty to failing to ensure a safe system of work for his employee.
Robert Kelly, 56, fell three metres from a ladder on to a concrete floor in a barn on the dairy farm.
Mr Kelly, who was a close friend of the defendant, died from his injuries.
The court was told the two men were working together to repair a storm-damaged roof.
Mr Kelly went inside the barn to gain access to the roof from underneath. However, he looked through a hole in the roof and slipped.
Judge Phillip Babington was told that Thompson had been comforting Mr Kelly's family since the tragic accident and was still a close family friend.
Judge Babington said the fine was not putting a price on Mr Kelly's life but it was "simply to mark the fact that a health and safety law had been broken".
Kevin Campbell, an inspector with the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI), said: "This accident was completely preventable.
"This underlines why farmers must not ignore the potential dangers associated with working at heights.
"Farmers must never take shortcuts and should ensure that proper controls, such as scaffolding, should always be in place to prevent workers being injured.
"They should also consider using a professional roofing contractor when required.
"Falls from a height are one of the four main causes of accidents resulting in serious injuries and death on Northern Ireland's farms."
The attack occurred after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena on Monday.

Armson, who is a college education examiner by day, guided Brackley to a 4-3 extra-time first-round replay win against Gillingham.
"I left the house to go to work at 6:30am," Armson told BBC Radio Oxford.
"I didn't finish until 4:30pm and then it was straight in the car to the game, eating my dinner out of a plastic pot."

Midfielder Armson, 26, was not the only one to juggle his work commitments before the game as striker Steve Diggin was busy surfacing roads in the build-up.
"That's what part-time football is all about," added Armson. "But, once you get to the ground, you just switch off from all of that.
"I thought we got what we deserved. It's brilliant to cause an upset and a great feeling we'll remember for a long, long time."
The 39-year-old is in his second season as assistant to Wayne Pivac after joining from Wasps.
Jones left Scarlets for Wasps in 2012 where he made the transition from player to coach.
He said he was pleased with the deal "especially as we head towards a pivotal period in the season".
Scarlets' announcement did not specify the duration of the new contract.
Jones added: "We've been working tirelessly behind the scenes over the last few years and the players have bought into the ethos with great enthusiasm and energy.
"We're seeing the improvements on the field and it's great to see such a high number of the region's young talent making a name for themselves in the Pro12 and stepping up to the plate in Europe."
Jones' fellow assistant Ioan Cunningham's contract extension was announced in the same week as they prepared to travel to Leinster in the Pro12 on Saturday.
Scarlets go into the weekend's round of games fourth in the table hoping to remain there or higher to be part of the play-offs that determine the cross-border competition's winners.
Head coach Pivac said: "We have another big challenge ahead of us this weekend as we do everything within our power to secure a place in the top four.
"A big part of the success is the compatibility of the management group and the fact that it's enjoyable coming to work every day.
"Stephen is a tireless worker and his enthusiasm, as well as his technical and tactical ability rubs off on the boys and that is evident both on and off the field."
JC Penney said like-for-like sales fell by 3.5% in its first quarter, against the same period last year.
Earlier this week rival retailers, including Macy's and Nordstrom, also reported declining sales.
Meanwhile the US Commerce Department reported that online shopping boomed in April, climbing 11.9% year-on-year.
"That's the growth area and that's the whole growth area," said Howard Davidowitz, chair of Davidowitz & Associates, a retail consulting firm based in New York.
Sales at non-store retailers represented 10.8% of total US food and retail sales in April, the Commerce Department said on Friday. Annual growth in the sector has topped 10% for 12 consecutive months.
But sales at US department stores in April fell 3.7% year-on-year, marking a two-year run of annual declines, the Commerce Department said.
Sales at sporting goods, hobby, music and book stores dropped 2.4%.
Sliding sales stoke fears for US department stores
Biggest fall in UK retail sales in seven years
JC Penney, which has more than 1,000 branches across the US, reported net sales of $2.7bn in the three months to the end of April - a fall of 3.7%.
Like-for-like sales, which strip out stores open for less than a year, declined by 3.5% in the quarter.
Business picked up in April, but February weighed on the quarterly figures, chief executive Marvin R. Ellison said.
The company posted a net loss of $180m, more than double last year, in part due to the costs related to plans for more than 100 store closures.
"Obviously we had a very challenging quarter in a challenging environment," said chief financial officer Ed Record.
Mr Davidowitz said consumer spending isn't strong enough to overcome the headwinds traditional retailers, like Penney, face.
The US middle class, once the primary customer for chains like Penney, Macy's and Kohl's, has shrunk, while online shopping competition adds to pressure to keep prices down.
The price of clothing, for example, increased by just 0.5% between April 2016 and April 2017, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday.
That compared to overall an inflation rate of 2.2%, and a 1.9% rate, excluding energy and food.
Mr Davidowitz said US retailers are also grappling with a physical footprint that is much larger than in many other countries.
That cost drags on results, even for firms that are doing significant online business, he said.
"There's going to be a gigantic adjustment, which is going to take place over a long period," he said.
Chiltern Railways said its new service to London Marylebone would offer "genuine competition".
Great Western Railway already runs a service between Oxford and London Paddington.
The new service started running from the new station Oxford Parkway, when it opened a year ago, but was extended to the city centre from Monday.
Network Rail contributed £190m towards the project, with Chiltern Railways investing £130m.
More than 850,000 journeys are expected to be taken to or from Oxford on the new services in the next year.
Franchise competition is rare on Britain's railways: among the few examples are London to Birmingham and London to Peterborough.
The first official service left Oxford train station for London Marylebone at 0720 GMT on Monday, after a test service used the route on Sunday.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: "This is the first new rail link between a major British city and the capital in 100 years and also a shining example of partnership working".
About 1.5 million passengers used the service from Oxford Parkway, on the outskirts of the city , to London Marylebone in its first year.
In September, the final pieces of track were installed for the extension into the city centre, which involved upgrading a branch line.
Network Rail chief executive, Mark Carne, said privately funded railway projects based on customers' needs were "exactly what Network Rail is all about" and called for "many more railway upgrades following this model in future".

Wing Daly was dismissed for taking out Leonardo Senatore in mid-air but a penalty try and three Owen Farrell penalties opened up a 16-0 lead.
Tries from Facundo Isa and Santiago Cordero cut the gap to two points.
A Jonny May score pulled England clear with Argentina's Enrique Pieretto also sent off for a stamp on Joe Marler.
It is England's 12th win under Eddie Jones and sets them up for next Saturday's visit of Australia when another victory would equal the Red Rose's longest winning run, set across 2002-03.
Argentina end their northern hemisphere tour with three defeats following losses to Wales and Scotland.
The result also ensures the World Cup semi-finalists will be amongst the third seeds in the draw for the 2019 tournament next May, potentially placing them in a 'group of death'.
Daly became only the fifth England player to be sent off in an international after taking out number eight Senatore as he caught a high ball.
The 24-year-old, who usually plays in the centre for Wasps, tipped Senatore over his shoulder and the Argentine, who was unable to continue, landed heavily on his head and neck.
After viewing the video replay, referee Gauzere told Daly he had no option but to show the red card.
Later in the half there was a similar incident as May was taken out by Juan Pablo Estelles, but only a penalty was awarded as the Worcester man landed on his side.
"Elliot's tackle was an error of judgement but I've got no issue with the decision, none at all," said Jones."
"Losing Elliot was tough but we adapted well and it was a great team effort. Some of the forwards were outstanding."
The hosts looked to be seriously up against it when Isa and Cordero scored either side of the break against 13 men after Daly's dismissal and a yellow for Dan Cole.
Jones' men dug in and managed to resist a tiring Argentina for the rest of the game. They even began to gain the upper hand in the scrum with Farrell kicking two further penalties before May ran in the corner after George Ford, Tom Wood and Jonathan Joseph drew tackles to release the Gloucester man.
Despite the Daly red, it had looked like it would be a more straightforward victory when referee Pascal Gauzere awarded England a penalty try just before the half hour after Matias Orlando deliberately knocked forward a Chris Robshaw pass with Wood poised to score.
A key passage of the match came at the end of the first half as Argentina's pack laid siege to the England line with the hosts forced to concede a succession of penalties.
The visitors decided to pass up the opportunity for an easy three points and opted for repeated scrums. As the penalties accumulated, England lost Billy Vunipola to injury and Cole to the sin-bin as Gauzere lost patience with the repeat offending.
With the half in its 48th minute, replacement flanker Isa eventually picked up and drove through scrum-half Ben Youngs to give Argentina a huge boost going into the belated break.
Holding a two-man advantage, they went for the jugular at the start of the second half, moving the ball across the field to Estelles. The winger drew in Mike Brown on the left flank and quick passes sent Cordero clear under the posts.
The gap was suddenly down to two points and Jones' 100% winning record looked in danger, but the hosts dominated once Cole returned to the field.
"The way we adapted our tactics and coped with the problems was tremendous," said Jones. "It is credit to our strength and conditioning staff to get the players to the level of fitness they showed in the last 20 minutes.
"I think we won the match before half-time. The way we held on with those scrums was superb. It was 15 men against 13 but we coped."
The match ended as it began with Gauzere showing another red card, this time to Argentina's Pieretto who stamped on fellow replacement Marler after the England prop held on to him.
Marler was shown a yellow for his part in the incident.
Former England captain Lewis Moody on BBC Two
Going down to 14 men, England will be very happy to come out with a win. They did it in the end and had to absorb pressure but took the penalties that were on offer.
England have been on a fantastic run and could end up equalling the team of 2002-2003. This group has so much building to do, there is so much more to come.
They will beat Australia next week, they are so confident and can take a lot out of this.
England end their autumn campaign with the visit of Australia next Saturday (14:30 GMT), looking to make it four wins in four weeks.
"We are looking forward to Australia next week. It is going to be a bit of fun because the Australian media last June was very disrespectful to us," added Jones.

Alfie Lindsey visited the west London estate to donate his superhero-themed tin filled with up to £70 in cash.
Alfie's dad Arthur said his son wanted to help after watching news about the tragedy on television.
He handed the money over to the Bishop of Kensington, Graham Tomlin, who said the gesture was "absolutely amazing".
"He brought out of his bag this tin... and I said, 'have you been collecting?' and he said, 'no, it is my pocket money'," the bishop said.
"It was absolutely amazing. It is just a little sign of the incredible outpouring of compassion there has been in London as a result of this.
"And in some ways, that is actually what we need, because we are now in a situation where we probably have enough clothing, food and so on, but cash - money -really does help.
He said when he accepted the donation, he promised Alfie it would get to those who needed it.
Alfie, from Hounslow, said he felt "sad" for the people who lived at Grenfell Tower and a "little bit worried".
At least 58 people are now presumed dead or missing, presumed dead following the fire that ravaged the 24-storey tower block in the early hours of Wednesday.
Many others have lost their homes as a result of the blaze, which has gutted the tower and left it charred and virtually destroyed.
Government staff have now been drafted in to bolster the official response to the disaster, following widespread criticism of the local council's performance.

The discovery could explain why seabirds such as the albatross swallow plastic, causing injury or death.
The smell, similar to the odour of rotting seaweed, is caused by the breakdown of plankton that sticks to floating bits of plastic.
About 90% of seabirds have eaten plastic and may keep some in their bellies, putting their health at risk.
The rate of plastic pollution is increasing around the world, with a quarter of a billion tonnes of plastic waste recorded in the oceans in 2014.
Scientists think seabirds associate the smell of plastic with food - and are tricked into swallowing plastic waste.
"These seabirds actually use odours to find their way around in the world and to find food," said Matthew Savoca, of University of California, Davis.
"We found a chemical on plastic that these birds typically associate with food, but now it's being associated with plastic.
"And so these birds might be very confused - and tricked into consuming plastic as food."
In experiments, scientists at the University of California put microbeads into mesh bags and dangled them in the ocean.
After three weeks at sea, they analysed the plastic for chemical signatures.
Nothing was found on new plastic samples, but three types of plastic in the sea acquired a distinctive chemical smell.
The chemical - dimethyl sulfide - has a characteristic sulphurous odour associated with boiling cabbage or decaying seaweed.
It is also produced in the oceans through the breakdown of microscopic algae or phytoplankton, which collects on plastic.
Seabirds with a keen sense of smell, including albatrosses, petrels and shearwaters, can detect this odour, which they associate with food.
Thus, smells as well as visual cues - such as shiny plastic - may attract seabirds to plastic.
Co-researcher Prof Gabrielle Nevitt, also from UC Davis, said species such as petrels were likely to be affected by plastic ingestion.
"These species nest in underground burrows, which are hard to study, so they are often overlooked," she said.
"Yet, based on their foraging strategy, this study shows they're actually consuming a lot of plastic and are particularly vulnerable to marine debris."
The researchers are calling for more research to see if other animals - such as fish, penguins and turtles - are also drawn to plastic by chemicals.
And they say it might be possible to develop plastics that either do not attract algae or break down more quickly in the environment.
Even knowing which species are most at risk based on the way they find food is informative - because it helps us - the scientific community - figure out how to best allocate monitoring and conservation effort to those species most at need," said Dr Savoca.
The research is published in the journal Science Advances.

Ryan Valentine, 39, donned a long black wig and skirt when he threatened staff at the shop in Leatherhead, Surrey.
He and accomplice Raymond Price, 45, were bundled out of the premises by two staff members who had refused to hand over any cash or jewellery.
Both men were jailed at Guildford Crown Court after they admitted possessing an imitation firearm.
Valentine, of Carlton Road in Walton-on-Thames, managed to flee the scene but was arrested two days later at Gatwick Airport as he tried to board a plane to St Lucia.
He was jailed for six years on Thursday.
Staff and members of the public managed to detain Price, of Thamesmead in Walton-on-Thames, until police arrived. He was jailed for 45 months.
Paula Jones, 29, of Grenside Road in Weybridge, was jailed for 15 months for assisting an offender.
Det Sgt Joe Easterbrook praised shop staff, who "refused to be intimidated by the suspects and showed tremendous bravery."
It was the first time he has visited Mullaghmore in County Sligo.
The prince said earlier that the compassion shown by people there "has done much to aid the healing process".
He said the murder of his great-uncle and three others had given him a profound understanding of how people affected by the Troubles suffered.
The IRA detonated a bomb on a fishing boat at Mullaghmore on 27 August 1979, killing Lord Mountbatten, his 14-year-old grandson, Nicholas Knatchbull, and 15-year-old Paul Maxwell. The Dowager Lady Brabourne died the day after the attack.
On the same day, 18 British soldiers were killed as two booby-trap bombs exploded beside Narrow Water Castle, near Warrenpoint in County Down.
Paul Maxwell's mother, Mary Hornsey, said she felt "such a sense of healing" after the events on Wednesday.
Louis Mountbatten, Earl Mountbatten of Burma, has been described as uncle and godfather to the Prince of Wales. In fact he was neither.
Lord Mountbatten was Prince Charles's great-uncle, through his father. He was also second cousin once removed to the Queen.
His mother was one of the prince's godparents.
As well as his close links to the Royal Family, Lord Mountbatten was a British statesman. He served as the last Viceroy of India and was appointed as the First Sea Lord and Chief of the Defence Staff.
He would spend his summers at Classiebawn castle, overlooking Mullaghmore in County Sligo, a family house of his wife Edwina.
Read the full profile of Lord Mountbatten.
The prince's visit to the scene of the IRA explosion, held in private, came on the second day of his four-day visit to the island of Ireland, north and south.
On Tuesday, he shook hands with the Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams in Galway, in a major conciliatory step in the Northern Ireland peace process.
"I do wish I could come and see it", Prince Charles wrote to Lord Mountbatten about Classiebawn Castle, his godfather's County Sligo summer residence.
"I know I would be captivated by it".
The letter was sent in 1979.
In Mullaghmore, this afternoon, the prince belatedly fulfilled that wish and he also met some of the people who responded to the slaughter at sea more than three decades ago.
This was a personal pilgrimage by a future British king to an Irish seaside village in honour of a relative he adored.
It was also about achieving yet another little step along the path of an improving relationship between Britain and Ireland.
It's what this royal visit has been about.
Prince Charles summed it up when he quoted these lines by the Sligo poet W B Yeats: "And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow."

Earlier on Wednesday, the prince told a civic reception in Sligo: "At the time I could not imagine how we could come to terms with the anguish of such a deep loss, since for me Lord Mountbatten represented the grandfather I never had.
"It seemed as if the foundations of all that we held dear in life had been torn apart irreparably.
"Through this experience, I now understand in a profound way the agonies borne by so many others in these islands, of whatever faith, denomination or political tradition."
The prince said the island of Ireland had "more than its fair share of turbulence and troubles", and "those directly affected don't easily forget the pain".
"Recent years have shown us though that healing is possible, even when the heartache continues," he said.
On the second day of the royal couple's visit to the island of Ireland, they also attended a service of peace and reconciliation at St Columba's Church in Drumcliffe, where they visited the grave of Irish poet WB Yeats.
The prince and the duchess ended the second day of their visit with some horseracing at the Sligo Races.

Arsenal dominated the first half at Adams Park but could not beat City keeper Karen Bardsley, who saved well from Danielle Carter.
City improved after half-time and took the lead when Isobel Christiansen headed in Krystle Johnston's cross.
The result ends Arsenal's record of having won the competition every year since it was introduced in 2011.
City Manager Nick Cushing, responsible for ending the team's 26-year wait for a trophy in his first season in the women's game, said: "This is well-deserved and a reward for the players, who have been exceptional."
Arsenal boss Pedro Martinez Losa said: "We were phenomenal in the first half but they stayed alive and had their time also, and they scored a fantastic goal.
"It is a disappointment for us, but we can only move forward. This club is used to winning and we will make sure that the next final we play we can win."
City have a long way to go to match Arsenal's silverware record, the Gunners having collected 41 trophies in the last 21 years.
But captain Steph Houghton, who last year lifted the Continental Cup as an Arsenal player, is confident that more trophies can follow.
"It's an honour to collect the trophy again," she said. "Being ex-Arsenal it's a strange feeling, but my focus has always been Manchester City this season and this meant so much to every one of us.
"We've experienced that feeling now and it can spur us on for next season.
"This club's all about winning silverware and we want to emulate the men's team in winning things - it's definitely looking up for the future."
City deserved their victory but had to recover from a nervous start in which Arsenal twice might have taken an early lead.
Midfielder Jordan Nobbs sent an 18-yard shot wide, then left-winger Rachel Yankey did the same from 15 yards.
City were being outplayed and their first goal attempt, a Jill Scott snap-shot that flew harmlessly over the bar, did not arrive until the 31st minute.
Four minutes later the Gunners were denied an opening goal by Bardsley, who brilliantly kept out striker Carter's shot at point-blank range.
And Bardsley came to her team's rescue again in first-half stoppage time, diving at Yankey's feet as the winger was about to shoot from five yards.
Following a below-par first period City improved after the break, but it took until midway through the half for them to force Emma Byrne into a save, the keeper diving to clutch Houghton's 30-yard free-kick.
The game's decisive moment arrived six minutes later, Christiansen heading home an excellent Johnston cross.
Houghton almost doubled the lead with a late free-kick that was turned on to the bar by Byrne.
But City had done enough to wrap up a memorable season in style.
"We had a nervy start," admitted Cushing, "but we showed great endeavour to stay in the game and then played some really good football in the second half to win it."
Rich countries say they will strongly resist this move.
Secretary general Ban Ki-moon opened the ministerial segment of the talks in Warsaw, Poland with a warning that the world was facing the wrath of a warming planet.
Mr Ban called on delegates to respond with wisdom, urgency and resolve.
He told delegates that climate change threatens current and future generations, referring to the recent disaster in the Philippines as an example of the extreme weather the world can expect more of.
He had recently visited Iceland and was told that it may soon be a land without ice thanks to rising temperatures.
He called on the negotiators to speed up their discussions that aim to secure a new global treaty in 2015.
However talks here in Warsaw are on familiar territory, the old divide between rich and poor countries over who has responsibility for curbing warming and critically, who will pay for the damage caused by climate change.
Many developing countries are working hard to adapt to climate change often with aid from richer countries.
But campaigners say those funds alone are not enough, because weather events are becoming more extreme and often overwhelm the steps poorer countries have taken.
This was exactly what happened in the Philippines says Dr Saleemul Huq, the director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development.
"The Philippines is adapted to typhoons, the people have shelters and they went to them," he said.
"In normal circumstances you would have heard nothing about it, but in this case they died in the shelters because it was a super typhoon of unprecedented magnitude.
"That's loss and damage, you can't adapt to that."
At last year's UN talks in Doha the parties agreed that by the time they met in Poland, an "international mechanism" to deal with loss and damage should be established.
It has re-opened old wounds of division between rich and poor. The wealthier countries are fighting hard to have any legal responsibility for compensation diluted or removed. But according to Harjeet Singh from Action Aid, this time they won't get away with it.
"There is a lot of pressure on the rich countries, they recognise there is a challenge, but they are keeping their eyes closed, I don't think that will work anymore, they have to deliver," he said.
But not everyone is so sure about that. Many campaigners fear that the influx of politicians will mean a compromise deal will be done.
"I don't think we're likely to see some grand scheme materialise that addresses [loss and damage]," said Paul Bledsoe, an expert on energy and climate with the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
"I think reparations is the right word, in my view it's what's being sought, on issues like slavery or war reparations, historically they have a very difficult time occurring."
Mr Bledsoe believes the most likely outcome is that the richer nations will increase their commitments on finance in return for kicking the legal mechanism into the long grass.
The scale of the monies needed to help countries adapt to climate change was underlined here in Warsaw with a report that Africa would need $350bn annually if global warming rises to between 3.5 and 4C.
The United Nations Environment Programme (Unep) report says that Africa is already facing costs of between $7-$15bn a year by 2020.
But if action to cut carbon emissions is delayed, then the total costs could reach 4% of Africa's GDP by 2100.
"Hands-only CPR" has previously been supported by the Resuscitation Council (UK).
But it is now being promoted in a new advertising campaign featuring footballer-turned-actor Vinnie Jones.
New polling by the BHF suggests many feel worried about the idea of giving the "kiss of life".
The official position of the BHF is now that anyone who does not have CPR training should ignore the kiss of life in favour of hard and fast compressions in the centre of the chest.
A new poll conducted across the UK and involving 2,000 respondents showed nearly half were put off from performing CPR because of a lack of knowledge.
A fifth worried specifically about the thought of the kiss of life or about contracting an infectious disease.
Four in 10 people were worried about being sued if they did something wrong, even though the BHF argues no such case has ever succeeded in Britain.
"The kiss of life can often be daunting for untrained bystanders who want to help when someone has collapsed with a cardiac arrest," said Ellen Mason, senior cardiac nurse at the BHF.
She said the kiss of life remained the "gold standard" of CPR, but added if a person had not had training the best option would be to just do chest compressions.
The BHF is also suggesting people hum to the Bee Gees hit Stayin' Alive, to get the tempo of chest compressions right, although others have in recent months questioned whether this is appropriate, suggesting it may lead to compressions which are too shallow.
The new BHF advert features Vinnie Jones in his traditional hardman guise, administering chest compressions to a Bee Gees backbeat after being thrown an unconscious body by his henchmen.
Commenting on the new campaign, he said: "There really shouldn't be any messing about when it comes to CPR. If you're worried about the kiss of life just forget it and push hard and fast in the centre of the chest.
"Hands-only CPR should give have-a-go heroes the confidence to step in and help when somebody is in cardiac arrest."
Ms Mason said everyone should learn what to do: "Thirty thousand people have a cardiac arrest in the UK every single year and half of those are witnessed, but in most cases no-one acts, no-one knows what to do, people panic.
"If it was us, we would all want our loved ones and ourselves to be saved, wouldn't we?"
Three candidates were running for the post of directly-elected mayor in the borough of Copeland - Conservative Chris Whiteside, Independent Mike Starkie and Steve Gibbons for Labour.
Local businessman Mr Starkie won with a majority of 974.
It was reported earlier 1,353 out of the 33,565 ballot papers submitted were spoiled.
The new role will replace the post of council leader, following a referendum last year.
Mr Starkie said: "The people have voted in numbers, the message is very clear for all the political parties.
"The people believe we are elected to serve them and to fight for them, not to fight with each other."
Conservative Mr Whiteside was eliminated from the first round of votes after he polled 9,509 (29%), compared to Mr Gibbons' 12,867 (40%) and Mr Starkie's 9,836 (31%).
As no candidate achieved more than 50%, a second preference count was carried out, with Mr Gibbons getting 14,259 votes and Mr Starkie 15,233.
An inquest on Tuesday heard Caitlin McVeigh-Conlon died after the drugs found in her system induced one or more seizures.
The teenager had just moved into a new home with her partner and six-month-old child when she died.
Her mother, Paula Conlon, has appealed to those involved with drugs "to think twice" before taking them.
Online threats against former Ulster Unionist Lagan Valley MLA Jenny Palmer are the main story in the Belfast Telegraph.
It is understood the comments on her Facebook page warn Mrs Palmer and her councillor husband, John, to leave the area.
Mrs Palmer said they made her feel "vulnerable". She said she had told the police about the abuse and refused to be intimidated.
DUP leader Arlene Foster's "delight" at the support she received from her party's new group of MLAs on Tuesday makes the front page of the News Letter.
It also says one DUP MLA has already responded to North Antrim MP Ian Paisley's comments that the party could do with "perhaps a bit of humble pie being served up and eaten".
East Londonderry MLA Maurice Bradley apparently tweeted to the paper that Mr Paisley "would need to take his own advice". "It is clear he is out on a limb here and does not speak for me," he added.
Meanwhile, the Irish News reports that Sinn Féin had some advice for Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire after their talks at Stormont.
Michelle O'Neill accused Mr Brokenshire of "waffle" and voiced frustration at his replies on funding for legacy inquests.
She said they had asked him to "come back with a positive outcome for those families that need access to the coroner's inquest reports".
Mr Brokenshire, who had discussions with the five main parties, said the meetings had been "businesslike" and recognised "a sense of the urgency of what is at hand here".
The News Letter reports the comments from the head of the Civil Service in Northern Ireland, Sir Malcolm McKibbin, that a lack of an agreed budget is one of the "most difficult and pressing issues".
He says there "is a small window of opportunity" to allow a new executive to agree a budget and put it to the assembly before the start of the new financial year.
The Daily Mirror adds that Sir Malcolm has written to all staff setting out the way ahead if a new executive is not established by April.
It states that in such circumstances the Department of Finance's permanent secretary has powers to allocate a limited proportion of the block grant.
Separately, the Mirror indicates Prime Minister Theresa May will not be flying to Northern Ireland anytime soon to broker a deal.
Mr Brokenshire has been in regular contact with the PM and is expected to brief her at Wednesday's cabinet meeting. Mrs May's involvement in talks at some stage in the future has not been ruled out.
Politicians are used to tying themselves in knots, but if they need a helping hand, Donegal dad Paul Doherty might be the answer.
Mr Doherty used his shoelaces to tie his new baby daughter's umbilical cord after his wife, Georgina, gave birth in the back of the family car, as they made their way to Altnagelvin Hospital.
A heartwarming picture of Georgina and baby Saphia features on the front of the Belfast Telegraph.
"Paul was very relaxed about it all," Georgina said. "I suppose he had no choice really and she came so quickly in the end."
Monitor said Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is currently running at a £12.6m deficit.
The regulator said it was concerned the trust may record a "large loss" over the financial year, instead of the £2.2m surplus previously predicted.
The trust said it would "fully co-operating" with the investigation.
Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Bassetlaw District General Hospital, Retford Hospital and Montagu Hospital in Mexborough are run by the trust.
Monitor said the trust's financial position may force it to apply for further support for funding in the future.
The investigation will try to find out how the deficit has occurred.
Paul Chandler, regional director at Monitor, said: "People are relying on Doncaster and Bassetlaw to provide them with high quality healthcare now and in the future.
"Therefore, we need to make sure the trust can do this in a sustainable way and within its budget."
Mike Pinkerton, chief executive of Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals, said: "On October 20, the trust announced inaccuracies in the reporting of the trust's financial position.
"An internal and external investigation into how our finances have been managed is already under way.
"As a trust, we will be working hard to maximise savings by remaining focussed on putting patient care first and scrutinising how we currently do things."
Last week, a report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated the hospital trust as "requiring improvement".
The CQC said staff vacancies were "impacting on the quality of service" in some areas, but did praise the trust over several areas of outstanding practice.
Efforts have been under way to save the sperm whale since the UK Coastguard received a call just after 07:30 GMT. It is thought it became stranded overnight.
The 14m-long (46ft) bull was found between Old Hunstanton and Holme-next-the-Sea, about two miles east of where another sperm whale died on 22 January.
The British Divers Marine Life Rescue said the whale died at about 20:00.
Beached whale: How the story unfolded
High tide arrived at the beach at 14:50 submerging the whale, but it was unable to right itself.
Mr Copeland, who helped in the rescue bid, said earlier that possible internal injuries meant the whale was unlikely to survive and their main focus was on keeping the animal comfortable.
The British Divers Marine Life Rescue said the mammal became stranded at Hunstanton overnight and was the 29th sperm whale to be washed up across Europe in the last few weeks.
Stephen Marsh, operations manager for the group, said there was nothing it could do to help.
"It's likely to be between 25 and 30 tonnes," he said.
Sperm whale strandings - 2016 timeline
12 January: Five sperm whales found on Texel Island, The Netherlands
22 January: Sperm whale stranded at Hunstanton, Norfolk
23-24 January: Three further sperm whales found on the shore near Skegness
25 January: Fifth sperm whale washed ashore at Wainfleet, Lincolnshire
1 February: Eight whales beached at Germany's Wadden Sea national park
2 February: One whale discovered stranded in France
3 February: Further two found in Germany
4 February: Second sperm whale discovered near Hunstanton - the 29th beached across Europe this year, according to experts
Rob Deaville, project manager at the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme, said the number of strandings was "unprecedented" in his 20 years' experience.
"We know why the whales have died because they die through the process of live stranding," he said.
"Obviously what has brought them into the North Sea in the first place is a question everyone wants to answer but that will take many weeks to months to try to address."

29 sperm whales washed ashore across Europe in 2016
6 sperm whales beached in Norfolk and Lincolnshire in nearly two weeks
According to Dr Simon Ingram, a marine conservation lecturer at Plymouth University, it is possible the male whales, which normally live off the west coast of Norway, could have taken a wrong turn while heading south to find females or been lured by food.
"At some point probably a group of whales have entered the North Sea," he said.
"It's possible that they have turned left too soon," he said.
"They don't know where to go, they're not in familiar habitats.
"They are exhausted, lost and end up on beaches."
The whale became beached about 1.5 miles out on the sand.
Jeremy Littlewood from UK Coastguard said it was the sixth beached whale the agency had dealt with in the area recently.
"It is obviously a very distressing scene and we would advise members of the public, for their own safety, to keep at a safe distance," he said.
Expert analysis: Ben Garrod, broadcaster and Anglia Ruskin University lecturer
It is always tragic to see something like this, but it does seem like it is a naturally occurring event.
It is a massive pod and they have washed up in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.
The ones that have been dissected from mainland Europe have had very, very empty stomachs.
They are exhausted anyway and they come into these very shallow waters in the Wash and by the time they start to beach themselves they are in a cardio-vascular collapse.
By the time they start to wash up, they are in big trouble anyway.
This represents the largest sperm whale stranding episode in England in the last hundred years.
Five other sperm whales became stranded and died on beaches in Skegness, Lincolnshire, and Hunstanton last month.
The Receiver of Wreck and the Zoological Society of London have been informed of the stranding.
The authorities used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the demonstration, near the French consulate in Karachi.
The protest was part of a nationwide rally called by Jamaat-e-Islami, the country's largest Islamist party.
Charlie Hebdo featured a cartoon of Muhammad this week, a week after gunmen carried out a massacre at its offices.
Twelve people were killed in the Paris attack, carried out by two French Muslims angry over earlier depictions of Muhammad in the magazine.
On Thursday, Pakistani politicians passed a motion condemning Charlie Hebdo for publishing the latest cartoon.
Religious leaders openly called for journalists at the magazine to be hanged, and several religious groups called for protests after Friday prayers.
In Karachi, at least three people were injured during the clashes between police and about 200 protesters, who were mostly student activists from Jamaat-e-Islami.
Three people were reportedly hurt in the clashes, though it was not clear how they sustained their injuries.
One of the injured has since been confirmed as Asif Hassan, a photographer for the news agency AFP.
He was shot in the chest but doctors say he is out of danger following surgery.
Pakistan has denied firing bullets at the protesters, claiming the police only fired shots into the air.
The protesters had tried to get inside the French consulate.
Protest leaders said they wanted to hand a written complaint to consulate officials, but were stopped by police near the main entrance.
Witnesses say the police used batons, water cannon, tear gas and shooting in the air to disperse the protesters.
The area is now quiet, and protesters have been forced away from the consulate.
Pakistan also erupted in protests in 2006 over publication by a Danish newspaper of cartoon images of Muhammad.
The forward, who failed to net in his first two appearances since joining from Southport, met Jim Stevenson's pinpoint pass before slotting home.
Dover had taken the lead after just seven minutes as Stefan Payne found space on the edge of the box, turned his marker, and found the corner.
Payne's 25-yard strike was tipped over by keeper Paul Smith late on, as both sides settled for a point apiece.
Aldershot Town manager Barry Smith told BBC Surrey:

"I think we were disappointed with our first-half performance, but credit to the boys for coming out in the second half, playing a much higher tempo and creating chances.
"We didn't start sharp enough and allowed them to dictate the play and we should be doing it to them at home.
"It's a great finish (from Brodie) and that's why we've brought him here - to score goals."

The claim: 1.7 million pensioners are living in poverty and a million in fuel poverty.
Reality Check verdict: The figure for pensioners who are defined as living in poverty in the UK is a bit higher than that at 1.9 million. There isn't a specific figure for the number of pensioners in fuel poverty in the UK but a million is not an unreasonable estimate based on the figures that we do have.
The Conservatives have not given any details of how they would apply a means test or how much they would hope to save.
The winter fuel payment is between £100 and £300 (depending on your circumstances) paid to anyone receiving a state pension or people of pension age receiving certain other social security benefits.
In winter 2015-16 it was paid to 12.2 million people, 42,000 of whom lived elsewhere in Europe.
Kuenssberg: Labour cry foul over lack of Tory costings
Pensioner heating curbs 'sick and sneaky'
Mr McDonnell pointed out that since we don't know where the means test will fall, a number of less well-off pensioners could still lose the benefit.
He suggested it might just be people entitled to pension credit who would get the fuel allowance, although government sources have told the BBC that would not be the mechanism, and that there would be a consultation process to decide how it would be tested.
Pensioners with an income below £159.35 a week may claim pension credit - it's £243.45 for couples.
According to the latest figures from November there were 1.9 million people claiming pension credit, or 2.2 million if you include their partners, although there has been research suggesting that about one-third of people entitled to it are not claiming.
Mr McDonnell told the BBC that there were 1.7 million pensioners living in poverty and a million living in fuel poverty.
People count as living in relative poverty if they are in households with an income below 60% of the median household income. The median income is the one for which half of households have higher incomes and half have lower.
The government's preferred measure of pensioner poverty is after housing costs have been taken into account. Nearly three-quarters of pensioners live in homes that are owned outright (compared with roughly one in five of the working-age population) and so are less likely to have high housing costs.
On that measure, 16% of UK pensioners are in poverty, which is 1.9 million people.
There are also measures of absolute poverty, which may measure whether people are able to afford a basic lifestyle - about 8% of pensioners fall below the threshold for material deprivation.
To measure fuel poverty, the government looks at two things - how much you have to pay for fuel, and what your income is. You'll be considered to be in fuel poverty if your required fuel costs are above average and, were you to spend that amount, your remaining income would leave you below the official poverty line as explained above.
The latest government figures we have on fuel poverty relate to 2014 and suggest 2.38 million households in total in England were in fuel poverty.
There isn't a specific figure for the number of UK pensioners in fuel poverty, but according to Table 14 there were 621,000 households just in England in 2014 in which the oldest member was over 60. Age UK says this equates to more than 1 million individuals, although some of them will not yet be entitled to their state pension.

Leeds mosque leader Qari Asim said victims had been spat at or physically attacked but it went unreported because of a lack of confidence in police.
The Muslim Community Safety Forum said police figures did not give a true reflection of the current situation.
West, South and North Yorkshire Police urged people to report hate incidents.
Data supplied to the BBC showed that over the last year, race hate crimes had gone up 13% in Yorkshire.
However, the data also showed that there was no strong link between the EU referendum vote and a rise in the number of racially motivated hate crimes being recorded.
For example, in June 2016, 472 race hate crimes were dealt with by forces in North, South and West Yorkshire - the same number as in March 2016, three months before the referendum was held.
Wakefield councillor Nadeem Ahmed said he had been subjected to racist comments whilst out with his family.
Mr Ahmed, leader of the Conservative group, said for every incident flagged up to police many more went unreported and has urged victims to take a stand.
He said: "If I would have been on my own I wouldn't have been that angry, but my wife and children were in the car - they didn't need to hear that sort of language."
The claims comes as a new report published by the Muslim Community Safety Forum said there needed to be better awareness of how victims can report a hate crime.
Dr Asim, Imam of Leeds Makkah Mosque, said people needed to work together to create a more stable neighbourhood.
He said: "People have voted to leave Europe because they think it's going to make their life better, economically, politically and socially.
"If that doesn't happen in six months' time, I fear there are going to be worse crimes and hate crimes committed against European and South Asian communities."
Angela Williams, Assistant Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, said: "We have had a slight increase in incidents reported to us, but only really small increases.
"We believe that they are not being reported through to us, which is the issue. We're trying to raise awareness for people to come forward."

The migrants are just a short distance from up-market French Riviera resorts. Some have gone on hunger strike.
They were stopped on the border last week, and began a sit-in, some of them camping out at the railway station.
France says it is up to Italy to house them and assess their asylum claims, as they arrived in Italy by boat.
The Mediterranean migration crisis has put a huge strain on Italian, Greek and Maltese resources.
Most of the Ventimiglia group are from Sudan, Libya and Eritrea.
Italy is struggling to cope with boatloads of migrants arriving in unprecedented numbers from Libya.
People-smuggling gangs have taken advantage of Libya's war and chaos to run a lucrative racket sending packed, unseaworthy boats to Europe.
EU interior ministers are to discuss the crisis in Luxembourg on Tuesday. Italy and the other "frontline" Mediterranean countries are urging their EU partners to share the burden of handling asylum claims.
France and Italy are part of the EU's Schengen zone, where border controls are minimal. But states can tighten border checks in exceptional circumstances, for example to deal with an unexpected migrant influx.
Irish police said they are investigating the accident which happened at 16:00 BST on Saturday in Ballinrush, Kilworth.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
Those travelling in the car were not injured.
The 24-year-old Algeria international joined in January 2014 and has played 51 games, scoring seven goals.
Mahrez made 30 appearances in the Premier League last season as City avoided relegation thanks to a run of seven wins from their last nine games.

Other targets include having at least 20,000 football training centres and 70,000 pitches in place by 2020.
While China excels at the Olympics and Paralympics, it has only ever qualified for one football World Cup, in 2002.
President Xi Jinping is a football enthusiast and previously said he wants China to win the World Cup in 15 years.
The plan was published by the Chinese Football Association (in Chinese) on Monday.
It sets out short, medium and long-term targets, including ensuring there is one football pitch for every 10,000 people by 2030.
The men's football team should become one of the best in Asia, while the female football team should be ranked as a world-class team, by 2030, the plan said.
By 2050, the report added, China should be "a first-class football superpower" that "contributes to the international football world".
China's men's team currently sits 81st in the Fifa world rankings, out of 204 nations, below far smaller nations such as Haiti, Panama and Benin.
The football league has been hit by corruption in recent years, with 33 players and officials banned in 2013 for match-fixing, although efforts have been made to clean up the sport.
The 23-year-old is not featuring for the Bluebirds, though Warnock said he was "not bombed out at all."
He explained that the good form of Arun Gunnarsson and Joe Ralls was the main reason Huws was not making the matchday squad.
"As it comes to January I suppose I will have to have a chat to find what he feels like," added Warnock.
"A lot will depend on what he wants.
"I'm quite happy to have him in the squad and he knows he's not bombed out at all he's training very well, but I do like to have that extra forward on the bench.
"He's been unlucky in some respects in the fact I've been delighted with the midfield.
"I think Gunnarson and Ralls have complemented each other, but I know he's itching to get a game.
"But it's difficult really to change what I think has been going very very well."
Huws has played 10 times for Wales, but missed out on the Euro 2016 finals when Chris Coleman's team reached the semi-final.
He joined Cardiff from Wigan Athletic in August 2016, but has made only three appearances this season - and none under Warnock who was appointed manager on 5 October.
Huws has played in three of Wales' four World Cup 2018 qualifying matches.
"I like to help players as well as just look after my first team squad," said Warnock.
"I realise when you're not in the team it's not very good for you."
Cardiff City are one place above the Championship relegation zone following their 3-2 win over Huddersfield.
The 26-year-old had been professional for nine years before his break.
"The way I looked at it was if I was laying on the track, paralysed myself and didn't have the desire to be a Grand Prix rider or world champion then I'd regret it," he told BBC Essex.
"Now I'm hungry - if anything happened like that I'd know it's what I wanted to do and not so much to suck up."
Bridger said he used the break from the sport to get over a past relationship and is now expecting a baby with his current partner.
In a bid to get fit again, he has lost 10kg and was winning motocross races before agreeing a return to the Elite League.
"My training is becoming so much easier because I feel like I'm doing it for myself, I'm not doing it for the satisfaction of other people watching me put my life on the line.
"I'm enjoying putting the hard graft and diet in because I want to get back on a bike and be successful."
The Classic Air Force base at Coventry Airport is due to host the "Airbase gets Airbourne" show on 2 May.
The Classic Aircraft Trust says the event will feature a display of rare aircraft that date from the end of World War Two to the 1960s.
The trust described the base as, "a safari park of old aeroplanes".
The trust said the show would include the Gloster Meteor NF11, the night fighter variant of the pioneering British jet, the Meteor T7, the world's oldest flyable jet, and the Canberra, which set the world altitude record in 1957.
Jem Shaw, who oversees marketing for the trust, said: "Hardly any other museums have chosen this period of aviation history and yet it was so important.
"It was when the jet engine was first taking control and its inventor, Sir Frank Whittle, was an unsung hero."
He added Coventry, as the birthplace of Sir Frank, was the perfect place for the collection.
The trust says the base was only open to the public on a limited basis during 2012/13 because the site was threatened with the Gateway development, which was rejected by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles in February.
"Now that threat has gone and we've secured the future of Coventry airbase," said Mr Shaw.
The show will enable members of the public to enjoy pleasure flights in some - but not all - of the aircraft.
Lemos purchased a majority stake in G50 Holdings, the company which holds 82% of Morecambe's shares, in September.
He had disputed January's transfer of 99% of G50 shares to tax consultant Graham Burnard, who reportedly claimed Lemos had failed to pay for the share issue which saw him take control.
Burnard is acting on behalf of former co-chairman Abdulrahman Al-Hashemi.
Brazilian businessman Lemos had requested an injunction against Burnard and G50 Holdings to prevent a sale of Burnard's shares to Italian businessman Joseph Cala.
In February, Cala said he was still "committed" to his takeover of the League Two side despite Lemos' legal challenge.
A statement from Morecambe confirmed that Burnard is the sole director of the club and said they "can now confidently focus on next season".
The 20-year-old former Hull City youth player had been on trial with the League One side and played in Tuesday's pre-season friendly game with Ipswich.

The Parliamentary Assistance Allowance, currently €21,379 (£15,250; $23,460) per month, will rise to €22,879.
The European Parliament's 751 MEPs also raised the parliament's total budget to €1.84bn for 2016, from €1.75bn now.
Some MEPs want stricter monitoring of MEPs' expenses. But a report urging greater transparency was watered down.
The spending increases come despite many calls for the EU to rein in spending on its own administration - including strong calls from the UK Conservatives. The parliament's costs account for about 1% of the total EU budget.
The 2008 financial crisis forced national governments across Europe to cut administrative spending, and fuelled demands for the EU to do likewise.
Another EU institution, the European Court of Justice, has asked for 21 extra judges to be appointed. That would almost double the current total of 27. The change would cost an estimated €13.8m annually.
The ECJ says more judges are needed because of a "dramatic increase" in the court's caseload - from 398 in 2000 to 912 in 2014.
But some ECJ judges themselves oppose the proposal, calling it too expensive, the EUobserver website reports.
On Wednesday MEPs approved a report by a French Socialist MEP, Gilles Pargneaux, including a clause saying the parliament "stresses the need for greater transparency as regards the general spending allowances for members".
They said parliament officials should establish "more precise rules" for MEPs' spending.
But an amendment removed a strong demand by Mr Pargneaux for more transparency concerning the General Expenditure Allowance (GEA), a €4,320 monthly payment to each MEP to cover office costs, such as rent and phone calls.
One of the two deleted clauses expressed astonishment that MEPs "do not have to account for the way they have used the allowance and that for members who wish to do so, verification of their accounts by the Internal Auditor of Parliament is not possible".
That clause had also called for "the introduction of obligatory annual reporting by the members of their expenditures paid out of the GEA, or, failing that, for at least opening a procedure for verification of the Members' accounts on a voluntary basis".
A former Dutch Labour Party MEP, Michiel van Hulten, told the BBC that the transparency call was "watered down in a compromise amendment by the largest political groups".
The website Votewatch Europe shows that 83% of MEPs backed the amended version of the report.
Mr van Hulten, now a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics (LSE), said the office allowance "is the main outstanding issue" concerning MEPs' expenses, as controls on other MEP allowances "have been tightened up".
"For example, with the travel allowance now you have to show tickets to get the sum reimbursed. It's a lot better than it was say 15 years ago," he said.
Some parties in the European Parliament already declare their office expenditure voluntarily, he noted.
But Wednesday's vote "sends a signal that MEPs are not ready for this kind of transparency", he complained.
The total allocated to cover MEPs' staff expenditure next year is €202m, up €10m on 2015.
The parliament's total 2016 budget includes an extra €15m to beef up parliamentary security, including defences against cyber attack.
Gerard Deprez, a Belgian liberal MEP, steered the parliamentary budget report. He - like many other MEPs - argued that the parliament's workload had increased since 2009 as the Lisbon Treaty had given MEPs many more responsibilities.
But he called for a new rule to clarify the roles of MEPs' assistants in Brussels and those employed in MEPs' home nations.
The EU's anti-fraud agency Olaf is investigating the far-right National Front (FN) over its Paris-based assistants amid suspicions that the party misused EU funds.
Under the current system an MEP can have no assistants in Brussels but dozens of local assistants back home.
Mr Deprez also called for a rule to stop MEPs abusing the system of sending written questions to the European Commission. Some questions, he said, were motivated more by MEPs' desire to get noticed.
MEPs receive a monthly salary of €8,020, making a gross annual salary of €96,240, Green MEP Jean Lambert says on her website.
After EU tax the standard monthly salary is €6,250. British MEPs also pay UK tax and National Insurance contributions.
Przemyslaw Kaluzny is facing a total of 12 charges over a series of alleged incidents at Toys R Us on Sunday.
The 41-year-old is accused of picking up the boy and trying to run out of the shop with him before attacking his 67-year-old grandmother with the bat.
He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.
Kaluzny, of Watson Street, Dundee, is first alleged to have stolen a mobile phone from a neighbour's flat before intentionally exposing his genitals to her. He is then said to have stolen a cricket bat from the flat before taking and driving away a Renault Laguna car.
He is then alleged to have driven the car from the Baxter Park area of the city to the Kingsway Retail Park without insurance and without a licence.
Prosecutors say Kaluzny then went into the Toys R Us store and committed a breach of the peace by behaving in a disorderly manner and running into the store while in possession of a cricket bat.
He is then said to have removed his clothing, shouted, bawled, entered the toilets and adopted a menacing and aggressive attitude, brandished the bat, and placed staff and customers in a state of alarm by struggling violently with them.
Kaluzny is further accused of an offence of public indecency by moving through the store while naked.
He is then alleged to have abducted a six-year-old boy by picking him up and attempting to run out of the shop while carrying him and detaining him against his will.
Kaluzny is further alleged to have assaulted the boy's 67-year-old grandmother by striking her on the head with the bat to her injury.
A final charge alleges that he broke a pair of police handcuffs while he was being transported from the store to Dundee's police HQ.
He made no plea or declaration during a brief private hearing at Dundee Sheriff Court, and was remanded in custody by Sheriff George Way until a further hearing next week.
The Teifi Coracle Netsmen have called on other anglers to also catch and release, as concerns mount about fish stocks in the River Teifi.
Natural Resources Wales figures show a decline in numbers, with just over 40 declared net catches on the river in 2015 compared to about 115 in 2014.
Declared rod catches were down from 300 in 2014 to just over 200 in 2015.
An NRW spokesman said the situation was approaching crisis point.
"It is coming to a fairly critical position, especially in light of salmon stocks.
"We're getting very close to being a crisis situation."
Mark Dellar, a licensed coracleman from Cilgerran, told BBC Wales the decision was prompted by "the decline in the fish we're catching".
He added: "We want to make sure this fishing style is kept for our children in generations to come."
"I've been fishing for 15 years with the coracles and there's been a steady decline in salmon stocks over that period of time with numerous things going on in the river... pollution, predation at sea," he said.
"All the information we're getting from NRW indicates that salmon stocks are in decline, and we need to try and do something about that."
NRW plans to hold a consultation in May on widening catch and release practices across Wales, to help deal with declining stocks.
In which case, I have to admit a failure.
It's important to point out that I wasn't wholly to blame, what with the government taking me to court and all that.
Nonetheless what I've finally learned isn't a story now - and probably wouldn't have been when I thought it might have been.
Let me explain....
Four years ago, I asked what I thought was an entirely innocent question using Freedom of Information laws.
Back in 2010, the coalition government were trumpeting a new red tape-busting cabinet panel, the Reducing Regulation Committee. I suspected that it was all froth and no action, so in 2012 I asked how often they had met since the committee's creation.
Twenty working days later, I thought, I'd get a number closely resembling one, namely the original meeting. How wrong I was, on both fronts.
The Cabinet Office, bored rigid I can only assume, decided to refuse my request on the basis that disclosing the number would impinge on cabinet collective decision-making. Balderdash I thought, or some other word beginning with B.
I therefore appealed, first to the Cabinet Office's own system (turned down) and then to the Information Commissioner's Office. Merry hell ensued. The ICO found in my favour, the Cabinet Office appealed, lost, appealed again, won, the ICO appealed for me, won, etc. Back and forth it went for three years. At one point, the government called in the fearsome-sounding "Treasury Devil", the so-called Star of the Bar, James Eadie QC, to argue their case.
Every few months a kindly solicitor at the ICO's office would email me with the latest twist in a story I had long lost interest in beyond knowing the indefatigable team at the ICO's office were sticking to their guns.
In November, word reached me that the end was nigh. A hapless Cabinet Office official was roundly condemned by a tribunal, who described her evidence as evasive and disingenuous.
Despite my increasing confidence that I'd get my answer, it was still something of a miracle to receive the response from the Cabinet Office on the Friday just before Christmas.
I'm now in a position to exclusively reveal to you, dear reader, that between 2010 and 2012, the Reducing Regulation Committee met on a total of 13 occasions.
You read it here first. Eventually.
Ministers are currently pondering whether to put restrictions on the Freedom of Information Act. In the meantime, how much it cost in legal fees to refuse my request for three years will be the subject of my next FOI request.
The 74-year-old, born near Huddersfield, survived a revolt by independent investors after receiving the support of billionaire owner Mike Ashley who said he had his "full backing".
Ashley has previously spoken of his belief that Hellawell is the right man to run Sports Direct with him, saying: "He knows my strengths, he knows my weaknesses."
Yet independent investors had been urged to vote against Hellawell's re-election because of a "catalogue of governance and operational failures" under his watch.
Many of these were acknowledged in a September 2016 report commissioned by the firm, following MPs saying that its treatment of staff was closer to "that of a Victorian workhouse than that of a modern, reputable High Street retailer".
Hellawell has faced pressure in other high-profile roles as the government's "drugs czar" and the chief constable of West Yorkshire Police.
He started a 36-year career in the police at the age of 20 after beginning his working life as a coal miner once he left school at the age of 15.
He became Britain's youngest sergeant aged 23 and progressed through the ranks to become assistant chief constable of West Yorkshire in 1983.
While in that role, he was criticised for his tough treatment of fellow officers. He shut police station bars and sacked some deskbound senior officers so he could appoint more to go on the beat instead.
He moved up to chief constable in 1993 after a spell in a similar role in Cleveland, where he won praise for the way he dealt with allegations of sexual abuse in the area as families were separated after controversial tests.
In between, he served in most departments and was awarded the Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service in 1990.
After the arrest of the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, in the 1980s, Hellawell was moved on to the case and managed to extract more confessions of attempted murder from him.
However, he also attracted criticism after spontaneously giving Sutcliffe a Christmas card, although he told the Sunday Times in 2000: "It was just part of the rapport thing to get him to open up."
During the 1960s, he launched one of the first dedicated drugs squads, while during his police career he also found time to study for a degree in social policy and take another one in law.
In 1998, he was appointed as Tony Blair's government's new UK anti-drugs co-ordinator - also known as "drugs czar" - with a remit of dealing with the problems of drug use and reducing the amount coming into the UK.
Even that move was criticised because during his time in West Yorkshire he had operated a policy of widespread cautioning of cannabis-takers instead of automatically prosecuting them.
Two years into the job he called for police to stop pursuing cannabis users so rigorously in an attempt to focus on drugs which cause "the major harm", such as heroin and cocaine.
However, he told the BBC he did not support "legalisation nor decriminalisation" of cannabis.
In 2001, his role was changed to make him a part-time adviser on international drug issues after the new Home Secretary, David Blunkett, took over his responsibilities.
He won praise for his work in the role from Mr Blunkett, who said: "Keith has done an excellent job in helping lay the foundations for the future."
A year later and Hellawell was gone - announcing his resignation on BBC Radio 4's Today programme over Mr Blunkett's decision to downgrade cannabis from a Class B to a Class C drug.
In May 2006, he became chairman of pharmaceuticals business Goldshield, which had been one of five companies charged by the Serious Fraud Office with conspiracy to defraud a month earlier. However, the case collapsed in late 2008.
The following year, Hellawell became chairman of Sports Direct - replacing David Richardson who had quit the role two years earlier.
Although the company's shares soared in recent years, 2016 saw a downturn with the firm dropping out of the FTSE 100 in March.
The company was also accused of exploiting its workers, many of whom are employed on zero-hours contracts, although Sports Direct has now pledged to abolish these terms for its directly employed, casual retail staff.
And at a parliamentary inquiry in 2015, Hellawell faced a barrage of criticism from MPs over his lack of knowledge about the collapse of one of Sports Direct's subsidiaries.
Bristol ran in six tries in a 45-19 win against Bedford at Ashton Gate to win 90-35 on aggregate over two legs.
Andy Robinson's side will hope to go one better in a third final in a row.
They will face Doncaster, who despite losing the second leg of their tie with Yorkshire Carnegie 17-14 at Castle Park, won 44-34 on aggregate.
Cross-code legend Kevin Sinfield made his final appearance at fly-half for Yorkshire after announcing his retirement last month.
Bristol and Doncaster will meet in a two-legged play-off final, starting on Wednesday, 18 May at Castle Park, with the return leg seven days later.

The gun is one of 164 weapons handed in since the amnesty began on 12 July.
A police spokesman said the cane gun, thought to have been made in the 1800s, was a prohibited weapon which could not be licensed.
He said it was a "very peculiar discovery".
Cane guns were popular in the 19th and early 20th Century, when they were used by gentlemen to shoot wild game within their grounds, the spokesman said.
Greater Manchester Police's firearms amnesty runs until Saturday.
The force said a "varying range of shotguns, air rifles and hand held pistols" had been surrendered, along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
Scotland Yard said it was thought he was caught by a gust of wind and blown off the pavement against the side of the bus near Finchley Central station.
Emergency services were called at about 12:35 GMT but the man died at the scene a short time later.
The man's next-of-kin have been told. A post-mortem examination will be held in due course.
The man allegedly behind the plot, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is thought to have had links to people in Birmingham, the Wall Street Journal said.
The BBC's Frank Gardner said it was plausible there was social media contact with people in the UK.
West Midlands Police said it was working with counter-terrorism forces.
Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale said: "The West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit is working hand-in-hand with counter terrorism colleagues in London, the national CT [counter-terrorism] network and security services to provide support to the French and Belgian investigations and of course to address any associated terrorism threat to the UK."
The Home Office has not confirmed the report.
Eleven militants took part in the attacks on 13 November, which left 130 people dead and more than 350 wounded.
Abaaoud was killed in a police raid in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis five days after the attacks.
The Guardian has also reported that one of the men involved in the Paris attacks visited the UK earlier this year.
The un-named man, the paper says, met people in London and Birmingham "suspected of having the intention and capability of plotting or assisting terrorist activity against the UK".
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said Abaaoud was known to have trained as a fighter with the so-called Islamic State and had "criss-crossed between Syria and Europe and back again".
He added that officers from Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command had been working in Paris since last month's attacks to help with investigations and it was not surprising they would be following up any leads within the UK.
The UK terrorism threat level is currently set at severe - meaning the prospect of an attack is "highly likely".
The government said security plans have been reviewed in the wake of recent events and at least seven potential plots have been foiled in the last year, although not on the same scale as the one carried out in Paris.
Manager Garry Hill informed his players of the decision following Saturday's FA Cup fourth qualifying-round 3-0 defeat by Maidenhead United.
"Garry addressed all of the players and told them exactly where they stand," chairman Mike Smith told BBC Surrey.
"Saturday's performance fell far, far below what Garry deserves and what the football club deserves."
The Cards are 16th in the table and the loss at the weekend means they have won only one of their last eight matches.
But Smith remains fully supportive of former Dagenham & Redbridge boss Hill, who has been in charge at Kingfield for almost five years.
Smith said: "The players have been left in no doubt about what it should mean to be a player at Woking Football Club.
"A circular has gone out making the entire squad available for loan.
"If they don't want to contribute then we'd be quite happy for them to go and ply their trade somewhere else.
"Garry remains focused on delivering the best he can and is dedicated to the cause."
Police previously said that a 40-year-old man was found in West George Street at about 02:45 on Saturday 20 August.
He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and later transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where his condition was described as serious.
The teenager arrested in connection with the incident is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

Crowds marched in Caracas and other cities to express their anger at the country's economic crisis and called on the president to stand down.
Mr Maduro led a protest in the capital against the renewal of US sanctions on top Venezuelan officials.
The opposition has made clear it intends to use street power to force Mr Maduro from office.
Saturday's protests marked the launch of Venezuela's opposition coalition, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD).
One opposition protester Enrique Alvarado in Caracas told Reuters news agency: "The people have come to the street and will not return to their houses until Nicolas Maduro resigns."
Another marcher, Jose Zambrano, said: "I came because what we want is change, because we cannot continue standing in line to buy medicine, food, for everything, for car parts, for everything."
Last week the coalition announced it would use all options available to try to remove President Maduro, including a recall referendum and a constitutional amendment reducing the presidential term from six to four years.
What changes will the new Congress bring?
Cuban concerns over Venezuela
Venezuela opposition push for Maduro's exit
The opposition won a landslide victory in last December's elections but it has seen its authority hamstrung by the Supreme Court which it says supports the government.
As a result, the MUD has placed special emphasis on protests as a way to put force Mr Maduro's resignation.
Correspondents say this is a potentially explosive path after anti-government demonstrations in 2014 left 43 people dead. This led to the arrest of a number of opposition leaders on charges of murder and inciting violence.
President Maduro led his own rally in Caracas, ostensibly against US sanctions and what the government regards as interference in Venezuela's affairs.
"We have to reject President Obama's decree. It is stupid," said protester Raiza Sucre who had arrived in one of the official buses that had brought government supporters to the march.
The sanctions were first put in place a year ago after a government crack-down on opposition leaders.
The protests come against the backdrop of a deep economic crisis made worse by the crash in the price of oil which long funded the Chavez and Maduro government's spending on social welfare.
Venezuela holds the world's largest crude reserves but its economy contracted 5.7% last year.
The new recruits, like existing officers, will carry pistols with live ammunition, and have pepper spray, batons, handcuffs and protective kit.
The number of migrants reaching Hungary's southern border with Serbia has stagnated, at fewer than 200 daily.
The new guards will start work in May.
The recruits will have six months' training, they must be over 18, physically fit and must pass a psychological test, police officer Zsolt Pozsgai told Hungarian state television.
Monthly pay will be 150,000 forint (£406; $542) for the first two months, then 220,300 forint.
Hungary is in the grip of a massive publicity campaign, launched by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's right-wing government ahead of a 2 October referendum.
Voters will be asked to oppose a European Commission proposal to relocate 160,000 refugees more fairly across the 28-nation EU.
Under the EU scheme, Hungary has been asked to take 1,300 refugees. The relocation programme is for refugees from Syria, Iraq and Eritrea.
Currently 30 migrants are allowed into Hungary each day through official "transit zones".
The number of those camped on the Serbian side of the border, next to the fence, waiting for access to the transit zones, fell to 346 at Horgos last week, and 103 at Kelebia. That is below half the total of a month ago.
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.
With 91% of the vote counted, Vermont Senator Mr Sanders is polling 64%, while former Secretary of State Mrs Clinton has 36%.
In the Republican race, Marco Rubio easily won Puerto Rico's primary, beating billionaire Donald Trump.
Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump remain overall leaders in the nomination campaigns.
Sunday night saw Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders clash on a number of issues in a CNN-hosted debate in Michigan.
They traded accusations on economy and trade, with Mrs Clinton saying her rival voted against a bailout of the US car industry in 2009.

Clinton v Sanders: The progressive battle
Trump and Cruz seek "one-on-one" battle
How radical are Trump and Cruz?
"I went with them. You did not. If everybody had voted the way he [Sanders] did, I believe the auto industry would have collapsed, taking four million jobs with it," Mrs Clinton said.
Mr Sanders countered by saying: "I will be damned if it was the working people of this country who have to bail out the crooks on Wall Street."
Bernie Sanders has rarely been so aggressive, losing his calm a few times on the debate stage. He attacked Hillary Clinton as a long-term supporter of free trade and talked about her friends in Wall Street who destroyed the economy.
She criticised him for not supporting the bailout that helped save the automobile industry, describing him as a one-issue candidate.
The debate took place in Flint, Michigan, which is facing a public health emergency because of lead-tainted water. The state will hold its primary on Tuesday.
Mr Sanders described the measures taken at the time as "the Wall Street bailout where some of your [Mrs Clinton's] friends destroyed this economy".
In Saturday's round of voting, Mr Sanders took two states - Kansas and Nebraska - but Mrs Clinton maintained her Democratic front-runner status after a big victory in Louisiana.
While the win in Puerto Rico - a US territory - will boost Florida Senator Mr Rubio's campaign, it sends just 23 delegates to the Republican convention which nominates a presidential candidate.
Republican hopefuls need the votes of 1,237 delegates to get the nod for the presidential race proper.
Mr Rubio still trails well behind Mr Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Speaking after wins in the Republican Kentucky caucuses and Louisiana primary vote on Saturday, Mr Trump told a news conference: "I would love to take on Ted Cruz one on one."
"Marco Rubio had a very very bad night and personally I call for him to drop out of the race. I think it's time now that he dropped out of the race. I really think so."
Meanwhile, Texas Senator Mr Cruz - who won Republican caucuses in Kansas and Maine - said he believed that "as long as the field remains divided, it gives Donald an advantage".

The 19-year-old has signed a "long-term contract" to move from his homeland for an undisclosed fee.
Campbell scored for Costa Rica against Bolivia in this summer's Copa America and has six international caps.
"It is a dream come true to play for such a big club in England and I want to do well for myself and Costa Rica," Campbell said.
"I am ready, I am very happy to be here and I want to focus on doing well for Arsenal.
"I'm good in one-on-ones and I am a player who knows how to score goals. I play forward and I can play on both sides.
"Arsene Wenger is a manager of immense quality. I took this decision because I know I have a possibility to become a better player here."
Arsenal announced they were close to signing Campbell on 12 August.
Speaking at that time, Wenger said: "[He] has shown that he is a player with great ability, and has performed well on the international stage at a young age.
"We look forward to the formalities of the transfer being completed and working with Joel when he joins us at Arsenal."
Google Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Microsoft Hotmail and Mail.ru are among the services said to have been affected.
The security firm that flagged the issue said that it believed many of the usernames and passwords involved had not been leaked before.
However, it is not clear whether users' accounts have actually been breached.
Hold Security said it had obtained a total of 272 million unique pairs of email addresses and unencrypted passwords from the hacker, 42.5 million of which the company had not seen in earlier leaks.
It said the cybercriminal had initially asked for 50 roubles (75 cents; 52 pence) in exchange for the list, but eventually gave a copy away without charge after Hold's staff posted favourable comments about him in a forum.
Even if many of the credentials are out of date or inaccurate they could still be abused, the company warned.
"There are hacker sites that advertise 'brute forcing' popular services and store fronts by taking a large amount of credentials and running them one-by-one against the site," Alex Holden, the firm's chief information security officer, told the BBC.
"What makes this discovery more significant is the hacker's willingness to share these credentials virtually for free, increasing the number of... malicious people who might have this information."
According to Hold's analysis:
However, Mail.ru - Russia's most used webmail service - said its initial investigation suggested the problem might not be as bad as the figures indicated.
"A large number of usernames are repeated with different passwords," a spokeswoman said.
"We are now checking whether any combinations of username/password match [active accounts] - and as soon as we have enough information we will warn the users who might have been affected.
"The first check of a sample of data showed that it does not consist of any real live combinations of usernames and passwords."
Microsoft said it had measures in place to identify compromised accounts.
"[We would require] additional information to verify the account owner and help them regain sole access," said a spokesman.
Google said: "We are still investigating, so we don't have a comment at this time."
And Yahoo added: "We've seen the reports and our team is reaching out to Hold Security to obtain the list of accounts now. We'll update going forward."
Hold Security has a track record for bringing significant cyber-breaches to light, including past hacks of Adobe and the US retailer Target.
Independent security consultant Alan Woodward said people should remain alert to the dangers of phishing emails.
Even if the vast majority of the passwords did not work, he explained, cybercriminals could still use the list of email addresses to bulk-send scams.
"Assuming the email addresses are valid, they still give criminals the ability to mount certain types of attack," he said.
However he added there was "no need to panic" or for people to change their passwords at this point.
Images of a future king and queen demonstrating their sporting, competitive edge have proved irresistible to many British newspapers and broadcasters.
But such coverage doesn't mean that royal fever has descended on India.
Security concerns in the modern world mean that presidents and princes travel in a bubble, and only meet those who are invited and checked out in advance.
Those who have cleared those hurdles appear to have enjoyed the experience.
This after all is the son of Princess Diana and his wife. Hers is a name that still resonates.
And William and Kate are personable people capable of putting those they encounter at their ease. They'll continue to do this as they travel across India.
Some they meet will fall, briefly, under the spell of a royal meeting; but they won't cast a spell over the whole country.
There is no doubt that bombardments by French and United Nations forces played an essential role in destroying the heavy weapons that had enabled Mr Gbagbo to resist for so long.
But while some internet rumours have claimed the French played a bigger role, Paris has been categoric in formally stating that at no time did its forces enter either Mr Gbagbo's residence or the surrounding gardens.
Such details are more than the small currency of minute-by-minute news surrounding this dramatic event.
Mr Ouattara needed to show that, ultimately, his own Republican Forces were capable of making that final entry and taking prisoner the rival who has refused to accept the legitimacy of his victory in the second round of the presidential election on 28 November 2010.
For ever since his entry into domestic politics in the 1990s, the man who is now Ivory Coast's new president has had to fight off accusations of being too Westernised.
Married to a French woman and at ease in international capitals after two stints at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - where he rose to become a deputy managing director - Mr Ouattara was painted by Mr Gbagbo as a protege of Paris and Washington.
This theme was also a none-too-subtle means of reviving the old challenges to Ivorian identity that opponents used to deploy to block his path until questions of citizenship and political rights for northerners were finally resolved in a painstaking electoral registration process.
In winning the polls in November, Mr Ouattara shook off the accusation that he could not win acceptance from ordinary Ivorians.
But over the past 10 days of military confrontation he has struggled to show that he could finally bring Mr Gbagbo's resistance to an end.
Monday's arrest by Republican Forces may start to change that perception.
For France, the handling of this closing chapter has also been sensitive.
Mr Gbagbo has presented himself as the man who has stood up to interference by Paris, the African who plays by African rules and not those of the Western outsider.
So Paris could not afford to be perceived as a former colonial power interfering unilaterally to remove this unco-operative figure.
It was essential for the French that they were acting at the request of the UN.
The relationship between France and Ivory Coast has deep roots that were actually reinforced after independence: the "father of the Ivorian nation", President Felix Houphouet-Boigny, transformed his country into an agricultural export power and the financial and services hub of West Africa through a close economic partnership with French interests.
Ivory Coast is the largest economy of the eight-country western franc zone, whose CFA franc currency was pegged to the French franc, and latterly, the euro.
At one stage more than 20,000 French people were settled in the country, many on a long-term basis.
French commodity houses played a major role in the cocoa and coffee trade; French banks used Abidjan as a key regional hub. French advisers were present in parts of government and key economic sectors.
After Mr Houphouet-Boigny's death in 1993, the partnership lost a degree of political momentum. But French involvement remained profound; the privatisation opened new doors to French investors in key sectors.
Indeed, even after the tension of 2004 - when Mr Gbagbo's Young Patriot youth militants specifically targeted French residents through a campaign of looting and intimidation - Abidjan remained home for many thousands of French citizens.
That is why Paris has had to provide protection for so many over recent weeks.
The French military presence has also been significant. Originally established under the aegis of a bilateral defence partnership, it has been more contentious over the past decade of conflict and national partition.
The French troops, operating as the Licorne force, provided the heavy muscle in support of the UN mission in Ivory Coast.
And Mr Gbagbo repeatedly sought to mobilise his own political support by stirring up popular anger at what he portrayed as a neo-colonial presence.
France has much at stake in the future of Ivory Coast, which remains a strategically important partner in West Africa.
But because of the difficult history of the past decade, both Paris and the new Ouattara government will want to put the relationship on a new footing.
This could well mean reducing the military presence as soon as security conditions permit. Mr Ouattara will draw on his international friendships, on both sides of the Atlantic, to mobilise aid for national recovery and reconstruction.
But he will want to ensure that he is seen to be a sovereign leader who establishes a relationship of mutual respect with Paris, escaping old cliches about post-colonial dependency.
That will suit the French too: they need to ensure that their continued relations with a country that is one of the most important economies in West Africa are seen in a positive light by both Ivorians and their neighbours.

Slogans and insults were scrawled on photographs of the politician and a street sign saying "Nemtsov Bridge" was defaced.
An obscure nationalist group, which is sympathetic to pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine, said it was responsible.
Mr Nemtsov was shot on 27 February while walking with his girlfriend on the bridge, near the Kremlin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the murder and vowed to find the killers.
Pictures emerged on social media, apparently taken by the vandals themselves, showing people desecrating tributes marking the spot where Mr Nemtsov was attacked.
A pro-Kremlin organisation called South-East Ukrainian Civil Movement (SERB) later claimed responsibility, saying its actions were a response to calls to rename Moscow's Bolshoy Moskvoretskiy bridge in Mr Nemtsov's honour, according to Russian news website Lenta.ru.
Allies of Mr Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister and veteran liberal politician, condemned the damage.
"Some cowardly scumbags have trashed Nemtsov's memorial," Ilya Yashin, co-founder of his political party, wrote on Twitter.
Mr Nemtsov's supporters have said the killing was linked to his criticism of the Kremlin.
He was killed days before a march he had been organising against the conflict in Ukraine.
Mr Yashin told the BBC earlier this month that a report Mr Nemtsov had been compiling on Russia's role in the crisis would be released in April.
Officials have not revealed a motive for the murder.
Several men from the Caucasus region have been arrested for the murder, prompting suggestions of an Islamist link to the attack. One of those charged has said he was forced into a confession.
Ukraine's military has been battling pro-Russian separatist rebels in the country's east since April 2014.
The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers.
Independent experts echo that accusation. Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers".
On 2 August, Johnson dismissed a joint bid from Birmingham for Flint and left-back Joe Bryan as "derisory".
"Neither solo bid met our requirements or the figure we felt was acceptable," Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol.
"We're in a strong position. We don't want to lose quality players but, if we do, it would be at the right price."
Flint, 28, was a late substitute in Saturday's opening 3-1 league win over Barnsley and was left out Tuesday's EFL Cup victory over Plymouth Argyle following a conversation with Johnson.
"He was unselected by me (against Argyle)," the 36-year-old added. "Aden knocked on the door. We had a good conversation. We've got a lot of respect for each other.
"After that conversation, which I won't reveal because it's private between player and coach, I felt it was better for the team to leave him out.
"The result and the team come first. It doesn't mean that Aden's going, or the door is closed on Aden at all."
BBC Radio Bristol understands the previous joint bid for former Swindon man Flint and 23-year-old youth product Bryan totalled £4m.
Bristol City travel to Harry Redknapp's Birmingham on Saturday for their second Championship fixture of 2017-18.
Asked if he would still shake hands with the former Tottenham boss and share a glass of wine after the game amid the ongoing transfer matters, Johnson replied: "Of course.
"I've spoken to Harry on a three or four occasions since venting my frustration with the current circumstances in the transfer market.
"Harry is a top, top manager. He's also very good with young managers. I always love listening to his stories. Certainly, once the final whistle goes, I'd be happy - if invited - to join him for a glass of vino."
Meanwhile, Johnson confirmed that Swedish striker Gustav Engvall is set for another loan spell away from Ashton Gate this term.
The 21-year-old, who joined the Robins for an undisclosed fee in 2016, spent the latter part of last season on loan at Swedish side Djurgarden IF.
"He is leaving the club on loan. He wants to play (games)," Johnson added. "He's got a good relationship with the club in Sweden.
"He's still young, so it's better for him to be playing football than to maybe to nick the odd 10-15 minutes off the bench every now and then."
The Swedish transfer window closes on Friday.
Dr Carol Tozer says she is returning to the UK to be with her family.
There were calls in Alderney on Wednesday for her to stand down over the case of Dr Rory Lyons, who was cleared of any wrongdoing.
The States' chief executive thanked Dr Tozer for her hard work.
Paul Whitfield said: "I wish to take this opportunity to thank Carol for all of her hard work, energy and drive which she has brought to HSSD {Health and Social Services Department], often during some difficult and public times."
As chief officer of HSSD for 19 months, Dr Tozer held the reins during challenging times for the department, including an extraordinary review of maternity services, and the investigation into Dr Lyons following the deaths of four patients.
Dr Lyons was later exonerated and allowed to practise again.
An independent report into the investigation followed, which found there was not a "sufficient weight of evidence" when concerns about the deaths were raised with authorities.
Last week Mr Whitfield and the deputy chief minister, Allister Langlois, held a meeting in Alderney to discuss the report with islanders, where there were several calls from members of the public for Dr Tozer to resign over the Dr Lyons case.
Before coming to Guernsey to take up her role as chief officer of HSSD, Dr Tozer was executive director of services at the charity, Scope.
She had previously held several high profile roles in community and social services in the UK.
In 2011 she resigned from her post as director of children's services in Torbay, Devon.
Sales volumes fell by just 0.2% last month, the Office for National Statistics said, while sales were up 6.2% from August last year
The ONS said the underlying pattern for the retail sector was "solid growth".
"Overall the figures do not suggest any major fall in post-referendum consumer confidence," it said.
The sales increase for July was also revised higher from 1.4% to 1.9% - the best performance for the month in 14 years.
ING economist James Knightley said the figures offered further evidence that the UK was weathering the short-term effects of the Brexit vote well.
"Sterling's fall is likely to have boosted sales of high-end items by foreign tourists as watches and fashions become relatively cheaper for them when bought in the UK versus elsewhere," he added.
However, Samuel Tombs at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the figures had to be treated with some scepticism as surveys from the British Retail Consortium, BDO and Visa all pointed to a much bigger fall in sales volumes.
"The chances the official data are revised down therefore seem high," he said.
Paul Hollingsworth at Capital Economics said some slowdown in the pace of spending growth was likely.
"There are likely to be a number of headwinds, such as slower growth in employment and real earnings and lower confidence," he said.
The ONS said that the biggest contribution to the fall in sales last month came from non-food stores.
Sales of more expensive household goods such as electrical appliances and hardware fell year-on-year for the first time since May 2014.
The John Lewis Partnership, which owns the UK's biggest department store chain, said on Thursday that half-year profits fell almost 15% to £81.9m.
Clothing retailer Next also warned on Thursday that recent trading had been "challenging and volatile" as it reported a 0.7% fall in sales at its shops for the six months to July.
Chief executive Lord Wolfson said: "It has been a challenging year so far, with economic and cyclical factors working against us, and it looks set to remain that way until mid-October at the earliest."
The September heatwave has done little to help clothing retailers, he added: "Consumers are only buying clothes when they need to. In this weather, no one's buying winter clothes."
The incident occurred when the victim was walking along the Rostrevor Road in Warrenpoint at 10:30 BST on Wednesday.
Police have not given any other details about the circumstances of the crash and officers are appealing for any witnesses to get in touch by calling 101.
Rostrevor Road was closed while police investigated and diversions were in place but it has since re-opened.
Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch with police on the number 101.
The seven-time winners couldn't muster enough votes for their youngest ever entrant, 17-year-old Molly Sterling.
Iceland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Malta, Portugal and San Marino also failed to make the cut.
Sweden, the bookmakers' favourite, sailed through to Saturday's grand final in Vienna.
Its act, Mans Zelmerlow, joins automatic qualifiers Austria, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and special guests Australia.

Despite Ireland's historical success at Eurovision, it has struggled in the 21st Century.
It has taken last place twice, in 2007 and 2013, and failed to progress beyond the semi-finals five times since they were introduced in 2004.
However, Ireland has fared better than the Czech Republic, which has never made it to the grand final.
The UK will be represented at Saturday's show by duo Electro Velvet, whose song, Still In Love With You, has been described as an "electro swing" track.
The final will be broadcast on BBC One from 20:00 BST, and there will be live updates and discussion on the BBC News website's dedicated Eurovision live page.
The hosts open the tournament against Afghanistan, giving them an immediate chance to avenge their defeat by the qualifiers in the Asia Cup, a tournament in which they lost all four games.
But Bangladesh's Australia-born coach Shane Jurgensen tells BBC Sport why he believes his side could shock the bigger nations.
Some of our experienced players were missing through injury and we had guys that were coming back in to the team that hadn't played cricket for a while.
We lost matches from strong positions and haven't been able to nail the opposition; we lost the momentum in games.
Because of this we have created pressure on ourselves and allowed teams to get back in to the game.
16 March v Afghanistan, Mirpur, 09:30 GMT
18 March v Nepal, Chittagong, 13:30 GMT
20 March v Hong Kong, Chittagong, 13:30 GMT
Full schedule
We want to have a good strong performance to set the record straight.
Hopefully we can gain a bit of momentum from our two warm-up wins.
We can be a streaky team but when we get confidence and suddenly start winning matches, anything can happen. We've seen that when we beat New Zealand 3-0 in the one-day series.
Afghanistan is the crunch game but they're all going to be tough because Hong Kong beat Zimbabwe and Nepal were competitive against Ireland.
I have watched Hong Kong and Nepal on video. They have some really good spinners who performed well against Ireland.
It will be very important to adapt during the games and make up plans to counter their tactics as quickly as we can.
That's the major difference with playing these teams compared to a team like Australia, who we have played against and seen plenty of on TV.
It is vital that we execute the three disciplines extremely well. In the Asia Cup we didn't get that complete team performance.
Our fielding has been fantastic of late but for some reason we have started dropping a few catches, and we started losing wickets at critical times.
We also gave away too many boundaries when we were bowling and failed to create pressure.
In each game we get one thing right but not all three.
Thankfully, I have a fully-fit squad and it was great to see Tamim Iqbal coming back from injury and making a quick 40 against the UAE. He got injured in training when he pulled a ball and freakishly hurt his neck.
Mashrafe Motatza has a side strain but should be fit and ready for Afghanistan.

Captain Mushfiqur Rahim is also fit after a shoulder injury, which is great news because he is a brilliant wicketkeeper and an excellent all-rounder.
Rubel Hussian had a serious shoulder injury last year and our physio says it could take up to two years for him to get back to his best.
But it was so exciting to see him bowl against New Zealand. He was the quickest bowler of the series and has an unique action. Although Rubel might go for runs, he can also take crucial wickets. He has worked hard on his yorker and is executing it much better now.
The fact we only played nine ODIs last year may have contributed to our injury problems. In contrast, Sri Lanka played 30 ODIs and India 33, while New Zealand played 19.
If we could play more international cricket at that intensity, it will improve our injury problems because our players will be used to playing more regularly.
Sohag has had some ups and downs but the next 12 months are crucial for him to improve his consistency.
He came in to international cricket with a bang in October 2012 and had a tough time in the middle of last year.
But he came back really strongly against New Zealand in the latter part of 2013 and took a hat-trick and scored a century to become the first player to do so in a Test.
He's a good batsman, bowler and fielder. He can hit the ball very powerfully and has a unique bowling style, which has helped him.
He's quite an open-chested off-spinner and has some secret variations, but his consistency must improve.
I have been surprised by how much love there is for cricket. Every time we arrive back at our team hotel from training there are always hundreds of fans waiting to get a glimpse of the team.
What I also really enjoy about Bangladesh is that there are so many people having a go, and that's something I like.
You'll see an older gentleman serving cups of tea, biscuits and bread on the side of the road, and there are so many people like that just trying to earn a living by working hard.
The other bits I enjoy are when we have left Dhaka and visited other parts of Bangladesh. It's nice to get away from the city and see the countryside.
Bangladesh is certainly different from where I come from. When I go home to my house in Australia, which is in a very quiet cul-de-sac, and have coffee with my wife and kids, it can feel deathly quiet and strange because I have got used to hearing the tooting horns all day and night in Dhaka.

Playing Test cricket and having to execute good basics under pressure over five days has helped improve our ODI and T20 performances.
When we have had success the expectations have gone through the roof, which is fine and fair enough. But having big gaps between series has not been helpful. We've also been hindered by the weather during the monsoon season.
But it's important we continue to play more Test cricket to put the guys under more pressure, and it would be great for us to play 20-25 ODIs over the year.
I think that would fast-track our level and help the academy bring through more players. We are developing new programmes to ensure the guys are eating and preparing well to play at the highest level.
It wasn't really the best timing for us when they [the International Cricket Council] announced that on the eve of our Test against Sri Lanka.
It affected my guys a lot to know that potentially they could have been playing their last official Test.
My question is, what's the real reason behind it? What's it actually for? I have yet to grasp the whole reason behind it.
I just hope that it works out best for everyone. It is crucial because there are so many people who play this game and love this game and I'd hate to think that interest in such a great game would be affected.
It took a long time for other powerful cricketing nations to make their mark from when they started, so we need the same chances to keep improving.
The tough losses can only make us better and can make the guys mentally stronger.
Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and India will have an advantage because the tournament is being held in Asia.
Australia might be a surprise package but you always have to be wary of West Indies. They have powerful hitters who can take the game away from you.
2012: West Indies
2010: England

England have a great chance and Jos Buttler is an exciting and dangerous player. They can also draw on the experience of winning the tournament in 2010.
I remember England had a poor start to that tournament but managed to turn it around and get through. All of a sudden they got momentum and went on to win.
We haven't had the best of luck this year but we are aiming to get back to winning ways in an important tournament.
We need have an aggressive mindset, and if we can qualify from our group then anything is possible.
A solid partnership or a decent innings can win you the game. That's the beauty and also the dangerous part of Twenty20.
The assault took place outside the Explore Library in Museum Street at about 14:15 BST.
North Yorkshire Police said they did not know the condition of the victim, who is believed to be in his 20s.
However, a force spokesman said a man had been arrested on suspicion of assault.
Administrators Deloitte are now looking for a buyer for PaperlinX UK, a subsidiary of an Australian firm which is not affected.
About 200 jobs will be lost in Northampton where the group has a head office in Moulton Park and manufacturing plants at Brackmills.
The firm has struggled due to an increase in digital communications.
As a result, the paper business had been hit by falling demand, joint administrator Matt Smith said.
The administration only affects PaperlinX UK's paper businesses and 14 plants would close.
UK packaging operations would continue to trade normally, Deloitte said.
Trade would continue from five sites, including the Mansion Close head office where staff would be reduced by 188.
Other sites remaining open will be at Belfast, Coventry, Manchester and production plants in Rhosili Road, Northampton where staff numbers will reduce from 30 to 20.
Businesses would continue a limited trade to "secure the best value available from current stock holdings and other assets".
Specialists had been called in to support employees facing redundancy, Mr Smith said.
The authority's ruling administration initially said the move was necessary to protect frontline services.
However, council leader Stewart Cree said the amount it could raise would be "all but wiped out by Scottish government penalties".
All of Scotland's 32 councils are in the process of agreeing their budgets for 2016/17.
Moray Council, which has an independent/Conservative administration, needs to cut spending by £11.9m in the next financial year.
Councillors proposed in the middle of last month that council tax bills could rise by as much as 18% which would have seen an increase for Band D properties of £204 a year.
But that move would have resulted in the government withholding £1.1m which would have been allocated to the Moray to offset the freeze, which has been in place across Scotland since 2007.
Council leader Mr Cree said: "We simply cannot proceed with the proposal as the extra penalties it would now attract would have a devastating effect on the services people in Moray tell us they want protected.
"So to make ends meet this year the administration have decided to defer certain works and spending, and to draw the remaining shortfall from reserves.
"We have pledged not to cut services and make any redundancies, and we'll stick to that."
He added: "But this is for one year only - it is not sustainable. During that year we would expect the Scottish government to finally make good on its nine-year-old promise to reform local government funding."
She only started singing in the mid-60s "for smoking money," she once told US radio station NPR.
But her richly detailed, confessional lyrics changed folk music.
Before Mitchell, singer-songwriters concentrated on love and politics. After her, they sang about themselves - their fears, their pain, and how the loss of a lover can leave you feeling: "The bed's too big, the frying pan's too wide."
Her reputation as a fragile, confessional lyricist does her a disservice. Mitchell's writing may be unflinchingly personal, but it is also rich with imagery and engaged with the world beyond her "yellow curtains".
"My work has always contained the question of how far the pop song could go. What themes it could hold without collapsing," she once said.
Her most famous compositions are the poem-songs she released during her early, Laurel Canyon years, but she was incorporating jazz and world music in her work long before it became fashionable.
"My music is not designed to grab instantly," she once said. "It's designed to wear for a lifetime, to hold up like a fine cloth."
It would be impossible to select a definitive list of her best songs, but here is a quick guide to seven of the most popular ones.
Covered more than 200 times by the likes of Tori Amos, Herbie Hancock, Linda Ronstadt and Aimee Mann, River is one of Mitchell's most enduring songs.
Featured on 1971's Blue album, its spare, piano-driven arrangement paints a vivid picture of loss and self-recrimination, with Mitchell facing Christmas with no-one to kiss under the mistletoe.
Key lyric: "I wish I had a river I could skate away on / I wish I had a river so long / I would teach my feet to fly."
Made famous by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, whose hard-rocking version is a stark contrast to Mitchell's stripped-down, intimate performance where her multi-tracked voice is set against a simple Wurlitzer electric piano.
A tribute to the 1969 festival of peace, love and music, the song is quiet and thoughtful when the event was anything but.
Mitchell famously did not attend Woodstock, basing her lyrics on the (undoubtedly hazy) recollections of her then-boyfriend, Graham Nash.
Key lyric: "We are stardust / We are golden/ And we've got to get ourselves / Back to the garden."
A devastatingly gorgeous ballad, A Case Of You captures the nuances and complications of an affair in its dissolution.
"You are in my blood like holy wine," sings Mitchell, seemingly drunk on love, before delivering the killer blow: "I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet."
But the song also captures her ambiguity over ending the relationship: "Love is touching souls / Surely you touched mine / 'Cause part of you pours out of me / In these lines from time to time."
Arguably Mitchell's best composition, A Case Of You is tucked away at the end of Blue, and exemplifies the album's searingly intense lyrics.
"The Blue album, there's hardly a dishonest note in the vocals," she told Cameron Crowe in a 1979 interview for Rolling Stone.
"At that period in my life, I had no personal defences. I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes.
"I felt like I had absolutely no secrets from the world and I couldn't pretend in my life to be strong. Or to be happy. But the advantage of it in the music was that there were no defences there either."
Key lyric: "I could drink a case of you / And still be on my feet."
A reflection on the demands of fame, Free Man In Paris is more exuberant and funny than most musicians' stories of "screaming in a hotel room".
Mitchell adopts the voice of her record-executive friend David Geffen as he enjoys a worry-free weekend in France, neatly capturing the tension between having power and wanting freedom.
Key lyric: 'I was a free man in Paris / I felt unfettered and alive / There was nobody calling me up for favours / And no one's future to decide / You know I'd go back there tomorrow / But for the work I've taken on / Stoking the star-maker machinery / Behind the popular song."
An upbeat sing-along that hides a message about imminent ecological disaster, Big Yellow Taxi is Mitchell's biggest radio hit - and her only top 40 single in the UK, reaching number 11 in 1970.
She wrote it after a trip to Hawaii, where she arrived at her hotel in the dead of night.
"When I woke up the next morning, I threw back the curtains and saw these beautiful green mountains in the distance. Then, I looked down and there was a parking lot as far as the eye could see, and it broke my heart... this blight on paradise. That's when I sat down and wrote the song."
Key lyric: "They paved paradise / And put up a parking lot."
Mitchell's biggest hit in the States, Help Me is one of her most straightforward compositions - a shimmering, swooning love song that largely adheres to pop's verse-chorus structures.
It finds the singer helplessly falling for a man she knows is bad news: "A rambler and a gambler and a sweet-talking-ladies man."
It's a favourite of funk musician Prince, who references it in The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, from his 1987 album Sign O The Times.
Key lyric: "Help me / I think I'm falling in love again / When I get that crazy feeling, I know / I'm in trouble again."
Written in 1967 and originally recorded by Judy Collins, Both Sides Now stemmed from the failure of Mitchell's first marriage and her decision to give up her daughter for adoption.
It uses clouds as a metaphor for the loss of innocence - how a child pictures "ice cream castles in the air", but adults only see a portent of bad weather.
Written when she was 21, the world-weary lyrics sat uncomfortably on Mitchell's young shoulders - but her 2000 re-recording is darker and wiser.
"It took a mature woman to bring it to life," Mitchell once said.
Key lyric: "I've looked at love from both sides now / From give and take and still somehow /It's love's illusions I recall."
The announcement follows a report by the National Audit Office last week saying the government could have achieved better value for money for taxpayers through the sell-off.
Mr Cable will be questioned for a second time on 29 April by the House of Commons Business Committee.
Business minister Michael Fallon will appear alongside him.
Royal Mail shares are more than 70% higher than their 2013 sale price.
Labour has called the privatisation a "first-class disaster", but Liberal Democrat Mr Cable has insisted the government was "right to take a cautious approach" to price-setting to ensure that it went smoothly.
He refused to apologise and said the sale had raised £2bn for the taxpayer, with a further £1.5bn from the 30% stake in Royal Mail which it had retained.
The privatisation of Royal Mail took place amid huge public interest and the shares rose by 38% from 330p to 455p on their first day of trading, meaning taxpayers had lost out on at least £750m in the sale.
In last week's report, the National Audit Office was critical of the government's approach.
Its head, Amyas Morse, said: "The [business] department was very keen to achieve its objective of selling Royal Mail, and was successful in getting the company listed on the FTSE 100.
"Its approach, however, was marked by deep caution, the price of which was borne by the taxpayer."
Demand for Royal Mail shares was 24 times the maximum number available to investors, the NAO said, but the banks overseeing the sale had advised there was not sufficient demand to justify a significantly higher figure.
The Business Select Committee is compiling its own report on the privatisation.
The controversy over the Royal Mail sell-off prompted angry exchanges between Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband in Parliament last week.
Mr Miliband said Mr Cameron was "not so much the 'Wolf of Wall Street' as the 'dunce of Downing Street'".
The prime minister likened the Labour leader and shadow chancellor Ed Balls to "two Muppets".
The 3,000km race through the Australian desert, from Darwin to Adelaide, is the classic test for innovators trying to push the boundaries of what is possible with a Sun-powered vehicle.
Solar Team Great Britain will be entering the event's Cruiser Class, which puts the emphasis on practicality as well as efficiency.
The cars must carry passengers.
They cannot simply be some pencil-thin, ultra design that only a driver can squeeze into through a removable cockpit canopy.
"Cruiser Class is about two or more seats. It's about a practical car," said Steven Heape, who leads the team of volunteers behind Solar Team Great Britain.
"In many ways, it's the class that goes back to the roots of the competition. It was envisaged as a design competition for cars that could run on the Sun, but extrapolating that forwards it meant we would ultimately get to the productionisation of solar vehicles."
To succeed, the Brits will have to overcome expert teams from the Netherlands.
Throughout its 30-year history, the competition has been dominated by the Dutch - so much so that 2017's race is being promoted on Twitter with the hashtag #BWSCTakeOnTheDutch.
Mr Heape, an engineer and renewables consultant, has pulled together a range of talents.
At one end, he has students; at the other, he has experienced hands from the likes of Airbus and QinetiQ.
There's even a former Concorde aerodynamicist in the group.
Development work on the car is coming on apace. The motor and drive technology have been identified, and the vehicle control system is already running on a test bench.
The chassis is expected to go into production in mid-January. By early New Year, the final shape of the car should also have been frozen as well.
"What you see is our Version 5.1," explained Mr Heape.
"We have a strategic relationship with the Centre for Modelling & Simulation (CFMS) in Bristol, who have one of the UK's largest supercomputers, and we'll be using that to run our aerodynamics design through until mid-Jan, early Feb. We want to chase down every last little bit of drag."
Race strategy will be critical. Although the car will carry a five-square-metre silicon solar array to collect energy from the Sun, the rules do permit the vehicle to be charged externally from the mains. But any team that wants to take an energy boost from the grid will also need to compensate by having more passengers (weight) onboard.
"Teams will be thinking through the permutations. Is it better to charge more often and put more people in; or charge less often and put in fewer people?"
The 2013 event saw a four-seater solar car travel from Darwin to Adelaide with an external energy consumption of only 64 kilowatt hours. In comparison, a modern family car consumes around 56mpg and will have an energy consumption of approximately 5,000kWh.
Solar Team Great Britain wants to be road testing its vehicle come April. The car would then be shipped to Australia in July. The race itself starts on Sunday 8 October.
"It’ll be a harsh environment - 3,000km through the desert, with the flies and the dust and the heat. But if you want to show you've produced a robust and resilient solar design - that’s the environment you need to go into," Mr Heape told BBC News.

Vickery House, 69, of Brighton Road, Handcross, pleaded not guilty to eight charges of indecent assault at the Old Bailey on the first day of his trial.
The case before Judge Christine Henson is expected to be opened on Tuesday.
Mr House is charged with indecent assaults against six males aged 15 to 34 between 1970 and 1986.
The first two charges allege he indecently assaulted a boy of 15 between April 1970 and April 1971.
The other six relate to five males, aged 17 to 34 between December 1976 and January 1986.
They were allegedly committed in East Sussex and Devon while he was a priest.
One thing it emphasises is that I really ought to stop referring to "the high street". With falling footfall, retail is following where the people are.
We heard on Monday from the voice of Big Retail that it is concerned at the prospect of more than 900,000 jobs being lost from the shift to online, a rise in the floor on low wages, and the apprenticeship levy.
This underlines an economist's view of the minimum wage. For 17 years, it's been set at the maximum level reckoned to avoid a cut in the number of jobs available.
Removing the link with that calculation, and raising it to the arbitrary number picked by George Osborne, means that we're likely to see an impact on jobs.
Yet while job losses are one downside of a higher minimum wage, other sectors are looking at more labour-saving (or productivity-boosting) investment in equipment, which is something the British economy has been needing.
For retail, there are many other moves afoot in customer behaviour, and they are clearer from the annual results just published by two of the biggest presences on the Great British high street.
Gregg's has managed a clever trick of being perceived as a local company in several parts of Britain - selling Scotch pies to Scots and stoaties to its original home market of Tyneside.
It's bigger than you might think, with 20,000 employees. Once known as a baker, Gregg's is less of the place to get a loaf of bread these days, unless you want it as part of a sandwich, including the "heat-to-eat" toastie varieties.
With a lot of refurbishment after growth slowed in recent years, more than 80% of outlets are now designed around "food-on-the-go" - and more conversions are planned.
Coffee has become a feature, offered at a lower price point than the big coffee chains.
To depend less on the hi-vis, high-calorie construction worker traffic or white van man, and to move to the more nutritionally-discerning office worker, the options are getting healthier. A 10th of sales are now classified "healthy options".
If it's a stalwart of the British snacking diet, then it is much less focussed on the high street. The place to be is where people are on the move - for commuters, for instance, wanting breakfast in a rush.
Gregg's franchises are opening in motorway services, petrol stations, around transport hubs and at retail and industrial parks (bad news for the independent burger van). The share of outlets in those categories is up, in only two years, from 20% to 27%.
Last year, 122 new outlets were opened and 70 closed. Gregg's has reached 1,700 in total and intends to continue that growth spurt - to 2000 and beyond - now including Northern Ireland.
Note that's not just opening more outlets. It also involves 60 or so closures per year. Many of those are on traditional shopping streets, where leases are up for renewal and footfall is down.
It's worth noting also that £100m of investment over the next five years includes big changes to Gregg's supply lines, starting with closure of three of its 12 bakeries.
As this iced bun sets in the east, with Edinburgh closing at a cost of more than 100 jobs, it rises in the west, where Glasgow gets the firm's first big investment boost.
Having spelled out that set of plans, with 2015 sales up 5% and profits up 25% to £73m, the stock market likes what it sees. The price was up 16%.
Also re-orienting into the food-on-the-go market is McColl's, another British high street stalwart. It has seen its traditional newsagent role in decline, and it's reinventing itself as a convenience store.
Either its legacy is a bit more of a weight to carry, or it is sticking more to the conventional shopping street, or perhaps it's at an earlier stage of transition than Gregg's. Either way, like-for-like sales fell 2% last year. At least pre-tax profits were up from £12.6m to £21.1m.
Four years ago, McColl's had fewer than 500 convenience stores. It now has nearly 900 and by the end of this year, it intends to have more than 1,000.
It's acquiring new sites - 60 last year. It's converting to food and booze. A hundred newsagents have introduced alcohol - "high return on low investment" - and 148 newly offer food-on-the-go.
McColl's is ditching newsagents too. Nearly 100 are being shed and 45 were converted to convenience stores last year.
This is competition for the supermarket giants, which have moved closer to people's homes, in smaller format stores.
Morrison's attempt to do so came too late and didn't last long. Having sold off the few it had opened, it announced this week it is to sell groceries through Amazon - a presence, both respected and feared, that looms large in any discussion of retail revolution.
For McColl's, convenience means being the store of choice within half a mile of most homes.
The company has quite an American approach - including the staples, plus coffee and breakfast, lunch sandwiches and fruit pots, and extended opening.
Emphasising its role as a hub of "neighbourhood services", McColl's took on 72 more postal franchises last year. It is the UK's biggest Post Office operator, with 520 counters in the mix.
It has had one successful trial of opening a Subway in-store franchise, with more to come, hoping that "it helps to bring into our stores a younger group of customers".
And yes, it still sells newspapers. Indeed, it still delivers them, to 130,000 homes.
The veteran McColl's boss, James Lancaster, is preparing to step down after more than 40 years, for a move along to the corridor to the office of non-executive chairman.
He points out that this is the company that does more than most to introduce young people to the world of work, and early starts.
Amadou stood against President Mahamadou Issoufou in elections in March. He is now in exile in France and was tried in absentia.
His lawyers were also not present in court in protest over a trial which they said was a parody of justice.
Amadou has repeatedly denied charges that he profited by buying new born babies from neighbouring Nigeria.
It was alleged that he and his wife - along with several others - were involved in a plot falsely to claim the parenthood of about 30 children from Nigeria who were then sold to affluent couples in Niger.
Defence lawyers argued that the case against him was politically motivated and should be adjourned to allow time for documents relating to the case to be sent to Amadou in France.
But their request was rejected by the trial judge.
The defence also argue that the ultimate aim of the trail is to prevent Amadou from running in 2021 elections.
Those defendants who were in court refused to answer questions - their lawyers say it is likely they will appeal.
Cusiter won 70 Test caps for Scotland from 2004 to 2014, and also played six times for the British and Irish Lions during their 2005 tour of New Zealand.
The 33-year-old joined Sale in 2014, after spells with Glasgow Warriors, Border Reivers and Perpignan.
"This is the right time to hang up my boots and move onto the next challenge," he told the Sale website.
"Playing for Scotland 70 times was more than I could have dreamed of growing up learning how to play rugby at Robert Gordon's College in Aberdeen.
"The memories of playing for Scotland and touring New Zealand with the British and Irish Lions will be with me forever, and I am grateful for all the incredible experiences I have been afforded through rugby.
"I've been fascinated by the Scotch whisky industry for the past few years and firmly believe that it is Scotland's finest and greatest export and something to be very proud of."
Cusiter was part of the Scotland side which reached the quarter-finals of the 2007 World Cup in France, and later won the Top 14 title with Perpignan in 2009.

The Welshman is six seconds behind Quick-Step's Bob Jungels, the fourth man to lead the race, and four seconds ahead of fellow Briton Adam Yates.
Orica rider Yates was eighth on Tuesday's 181km stage, which finished on Mount Etna.
Slovenia's Jan Polanc, who rides for UAE Team Emirates, won the stage having broken away after just 2km.
Katusha's Ilnur Zakarin was second, 19 seconds back, before Thomas outsprinted FDJ's Thibaut Pinot.
Wednesday's stage takes the riders from Pedara to Messina, with the three-week race concluding in Milan on 28 May.
Team Sky's Geraint Thomas told BBC Wales Sport:
"There was a bit of a headwind in the last 2km so everyone was a bit of apprehensive. I felt good and obviously it was nice to win the sprint for the third [place] and get a few seconds as well.
"I felt pretty good on the climb but, with it being a headwind, everyone like myself didn't really want to go too early.
"I think everyone's still finding their legs and sussing each other out but a good start.
"It's a nice sort of psychological boost winning the sprint but there's still a long way to go until Milan [the final stage], and we'll know a lot more on Sunday."
Stage four result:
1. Jan Polanc (Slo/UAE Team Emirates) 4hrs 55mins 58secs
2. Ilnur Zakarin (Rus/Katusha) +19secs

Three people have been convicted of child abuse at Shirley Oaks in Croydon that took place in the 1970s and 80s.
Survivors of abuse there believe Peter Davis, 15, found hanged there 38 years ago, may not have killed himself.
Lambeth Council has acknowledged "very serious historic failings" and apologised to those abused in its care.
Shirley Oaks, which closed in 1983, was an 80-acre site that included cottages where children in care were looked after by house mothers and fathers.
The site included a school, swimming pool, sick bay and playing fields.
Survivors of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, some of whom were taken into care as infants, have come forward with harrowing experiences.
But there is one specific matter about which they are demanding answers - the sudden death of 15-year-old Peter Davis in 1977.
He was found hanged in a toilet with a cord around his neck.
A coroner ruled it was "death by misadventure". There were signs of sexual activity.
Friends who grew up with him believe he had been targeted by paedophiles.
The BBC has learned Peter was a witness in a rape trial at the Old Bailey two years before he died.
Music producer Raymond Stevenson, who was physically abused at the children's home, and heads the Shirley Oaks Survivors' Association, said Peter's death seemed unresolved at the time.
"We weren't even invited to his funeral. We grew up with him as a brother," he said.
"And then at one moment he was taken away.
"There was no explanation and we never felt comfortable about it.
"Right now, having looked through the history of Shirley Oaks and how many paedophiles were operating there, it's quite clear that something untoward took place which has been covered up for years."
When the BBC looked for court documents from the time, we found that in 2003 they had been made secret for 100 years.
Former senior detective Clive Driscoll said reopening the case would be a "great opportunity for detective work".
He said: "I thought that was an opportunity maybe to put that forward to one of our murder review groups and give the opportunity for maybe a fresh pair of eyes to look at that case."
Chuka Umunna, Labour MP for Streatham, who has constituents who are Lambeth abuse survivors said: "The police should reopen the inquiry into Peter Davis' death.
"I understand there are certain rules and thresholds that apply to these things.
"But they [the police] themselves conceded the investigation that was originally carried out was of its time - that means it did not meet the standards that we would apply today.
"I don't think there is any reason why they shouldn't look into this again, and I think they owe it to the survivors' group to do so."
The Metropolitan Police said officers looked at available material relating to Peter's death in September 2014.
A statement said: "In the absence of further new witnesses or new lines of inquiry, the matter remains closed.
"If new witnesses are identified who are prepared to provide police with statements that challenge the recorded decision then an assessment of that material will be undertaken."
Lambeth Council said it was "supporting the Shirley Oaks Survivors' Association in their campaign to identify further victims and offering counselling to those who have not already received it but feel they would now benefit".
The treatment involves combining immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab with a second drug which blocks the protein Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK).
Previous studies found FAK is often overproduced in tumours and enables cancer cells to repel medication.
The trial involving about 60 patients will be managed by the Cancer Research UK clinical trials unit in Glasgow.
It forms part of a new collaboration between Cancer Research UK and drugs companies MSD and Verastem, and will be co-led by scientists in Edinburgh.
Dr Stefan Symeonides, from the University of Edinburgh, said: "Immunotherapy is a very exciting area of cancer research and we've seen remarkable benefits from pembrolizumab for some patients with hard-to-treat cancers, like melanoma and lung cancer.
"We're hoping that the addition of defactinib will extend those benefits to more patients.
"This work could one day give a new treatment option that saves lives for this group of patients who have few options."
The charity hopes a successful trial will lead to further collaboration between medical companies to improve treatment.
Dr Ian Walker, director of clinical research at Cancer Research UK, said: "It's vital that we find new treatments for these cancers which take tens of thousands of lives each year in the UK, and we're delighted to be working with MSD and Verastem on this.
"Our Combinations Alliance was set up to help develop partnerships between drug development companies and researchers to try new combinations of drugs in the hope of improving treatments and saving more lives from cancer.
"This is our first success in bringing together two organisations and we hope that this combination of immunotherapy drugs will benefit patients."
The Eaton Place surgery closed its doors for the last time at lunchtime because its two partners are retiring.
Local Conservative MP Simon Kirby, who had campaigned for it to remain open, said he was very disappointed.
NHS England said patients would be able to register with other nearby practices at a drop-in event next week.
At least half the patients have already registered with one of the 13 surgeries closest to Eaton Place.
NHS England has offered the surgeries a payment of £25 per head for every patient they take.
Mr Kirby, the MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, had hoped another GP would take on the practice and said discussions had been so advanced that the recruitment process for new staff had already begun.
"It is particularly saddening that the final discussions between these various groups have not been successful," he said.
Patients wishing to register with another GP can visit the Wellsbourne Health Centre, in Whitehawk, on 4 March between 10:00 and 14:00 GMT.

The first attack in Tel Aviv targeted a soldier. A Palestinian from the West Bank city of Nablus was arrested.
An Israeli woman was later stabbed to death near the Alon Shvut Jewish settlement in the West Bank. The assailant was shot by a security guard.
The stabbings come at a time of heightened tension between Israel and the Palestinians.
At the weekend, Israeli Arabs threw stones at police in mainly Arab towns in Israel after police shot dead a young Arab man, who they said had attacked them with a knife.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "defeat terrorism" against Israel, saying those citizens who denounced the Jewish state should go and live in the Palestinian territories instead.
The West Bank attack took place at the entrance to the Alon Shvut settlement.
The attacker tried to run over people in his car, hit a concrete barrier then got out of the vehicle, reports said.
He then stabbed the 26-year-old woman, named by Israeli media as Dalia Lamkus, along with two other Israelis at a bus stop. The two injured men were taken to hospital.
The attacker was shot several times by a security guard and was taken from the scene in a serious condition, emergency services said.
Earlier reports had said the woman was a 14-year-old girl.
The attack took place close to where three Israeli students were abducted and killed by Palestinian militants in June, an incident which led to the revenge killing in Jerusalem of a Palestinian teenager by Jewish extremists.
Tensions then escalated into a 50-day conflict between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in Gaza.
Monday's earlier incident in Tel Aviv took place at a busy train station and was described by police as a "terror attack".
The soldier later died of his wounds, a spokesman at Tel-Hashomer hospital said, and was named by Israeli media as Almog Shiloni, 20.
BBC Middle East correspondent Kevin Connolly says there has been no real pattern to the recent spate of attacks - the attackers appear to have acted suddenly, meaning there is no advance intelligence to forewarn the authorities.
In two other attacks in the past three weeks, Palestinian militants rammed vehicles into pedestrians in Jerusalem, killing four people. Both attackers were shot dead.
A Palestinian suspected of shooting and wounding a prominent right-wing activist, Rabbi Yehuda Glick, in Jerusalem at the end of last month was also shot dead in a gun battle with Israeli police.
Our correspondent says that many Israelis feel the security situation has been deteriorating, with the summer conflict in Gaza, the dispute over rights of prayer at a holy site in Jerusalem and continuing Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem all factors in a worsening atmosphere.
With injured centre Jonathan Joseph missing the game at Twickenham, rugby league convert Sam Burgess is set to start alongside Brad Barritt.
Burgess, 26, will be winning only his third England cap.
Number eight Ben Morgan is also set to miss the match because of a minor knee injury, with Billy Vunipola coming in.
Morgan, 26, broke his leg in January, ruling him out of the Six Nations, but returned to regain his starting place ahead of Vunipola for England's tournament opener.
Wasps flanker James Haskell will step up to the bench to face Wales.
Bath centre Joseph, 24, injured his chest as the hosts beat Fiji 35-11 on Friday.
England attack coach Andy Farrell said Joseph's injury was "nothing too serious" and would probably keep him out for "not more than a week", although it is understood he is a significant doubt for the match with Australia on 3 October.
Joseph scored four tries in England's Six Nations campaign earlier this year and is one of the most dangerous runners in England's backline.
After facing Wales, England play Australia, followed by Uruguay on 10 October, with the top two teams from the group progressing to the quarter-finals.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster will announce his team on Thursday morning.

Amy broke UK box office records for a British documentary in July this year.
It featured previously unseen footage of Winehouse, who died from alcohol poisoning in 2011, aged 27.
Amy, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May, also earned $8.3m (£5.49m) at the US box office, making it one of the country's top 25 grossing documentaries of all time.
British director Kapadia conducted more than 100 interviews with 80 people - including friends, family and colleagues of the star, although her father, Mitch Winehouse, has since distanced himself from the film.
Kapadia previously won a Bafta for his 2010 documentary film Senna, about Brazilian Formula 1 champion Ayrton Senna.
Competition comes from The Look of Silence, Oppenheimer's second film about the 1960s Indonesian genocide. It follows a Bafta win and Oscar nomination for 2012's The Act of Killing.
This time Oppenheimer focuses the story on an optician who confronts the men who killed his brother.
Meru, documenting the first ascent of a dangerous peak in the Himalayas, is also nominated, alongside Something Better to Come, Hanna Polak's film which tells the story of a young girl who lives in a massive garbage dump outside of Moscow.
The winner will be announced on 23 January at the Producer's Guild of America ceremony in Los Angeles.
The awards have a good record of predicting which film will go on to win the Oscar's best picture category, however the rest of this year's nominations will not be revealed until 5 January.
This year British producer David Heyman - best known for the Harry Potter films, Gravity and Paddington - is among those being presented with special honours, alongside Gray's Anatomy and Scandal showrunner Shonda Rhimes.
Bolivia lost access to the coastline in a 19th Century war with Chile, leaving it landlocked ever since.
Chile says Bolivia's demand has no historical or legal basis.
The two countries have had limited diplomatic relations since 1978, and previous attempts to negotiate the redrawing of the border have failed.
'Battle ahead'
Speaking in The Hague, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said his nation had demanded that Chile negotiate in good faith with Bolivia "a swift and effective agreement that grants it [Bolivia] fully sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean".
Bolivian President Evo Morales said he had decided to file the suit after "listening to the Bolivian people".
He had earlier expressed his confidence that Bolivia would regain its access to the sea, saying: "We're going to win this battle because we're right."
Reacting to the news, Chilean Interior Minister Andres Chadwick ruled out any dialogue.
"If they want to talk about Chile's maritime sovereignty, no. No dialogue is possible," he said.
The borders between the two neighbours date back to the 1904 Treaty of Peace and Friendship, signed after Bolivia lost 400km (250 miles) of coastline to Chile during the War of the Pacific (1879-1884).
Bolivia has long tried to reclaim the territory and has repeatedly severed relations with Chile when those attempts failed.
It still maintains a small navy and each year celebrates the Day of the Sea.
President Morales had announced his intention to take the case to the International Court of Justice at this year's celebrations to mark the day.
The Chilean government said it was not worried about Bolivia's move, as "no-one in the world will accept that a country unilaterally dismisses a treaty which is in full force".

Passengers have faced lengthy bus journeys between Prudhoe and Hexham while repair work has been going on.
But Network Rail said services would return to normal from 8 February after a "challenging" engineering operation.
Rob McIntosh, route managing director at Network Rail, said: "I would firstly like to apologise to passengers [for] the disruption this has caused and thank them for their patience during the recent weeks.
"I would also like to thank the community living near the site of the slip for their ongoing patience and understanding with what has been a significant rebuilding project which is set to carry on for many weeks.
"The unprecedented weather which led to the landslip, and which has continued throughout the clear-up, presented us with a series of difficult engineering challenges, but I am pleased to confirm that the work has gone to plan and that passenger services will resume from Monday."
Alex Hynes, managing director for Northern Rail, added: "We are delighted to see our train services resuming on the line from Monday. Our customers have been extremely patient while Network Rail worked on this challenging project.
"We will be offering compensation to customers affected."
It was not clear who was behind the attack, which caused no casualties but triggered a plume of black smoke.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the pipeline was "bombed", while Sana blamed "an armed terrorist group" for sabotaging it.
The agency said the attack happened at Tal al-Shor, west of the troubled city.
The Local Co-ordination Committees, which organise protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime, accused his government of deliberately destroying the pipeline, which serves a region opposed to his rule.
The province has been besieged by security forces and loyalist militias for more than two months.
The United Nations estimates more than 4,000 people have been killed since mid-March in the regime's crackdown on dissent.
Damascus blames the unrest on "armed terrorist groups" and foreign meddling.
Seven civilians were killed during several security raids in Homs on Thursday, according to activists quoted by AFP news agency.
There have been two recent reported attacks on pipelines in Syria - one, according to activists, took place on 13 July in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor.
Another, also near Homs, was reported on 29 July by Sana.
Syria's oil output has slumped to 120,000 barrels per day from 340,000 before the unrest due to narrowing exports in line with sanctions against President Assad's regime, according to an industry expert quoted by AP.
The Ministry of Defence told the Al-Sweady public inquiry claims that bodies were mutilated were also "dishonestly made" by witnesses.
Lawyers for the Iraqis withdrew the murder and mutilation claims in March.
The inquiry was set up in 2009 to examine claims of mistreatment.
It is due to report by the end of this year and to date has cost £22.7m. It has reviewed millions of documents and heard from more than 280 witnesses.
In closing statements to the inquiry, lawyers for the MoD said the allegations had caused "immense anxiety and distress" to the soldiers concerned.
"The untruthful allegations cannot be attributed to honest mistakes or misunderstandings," the MoD said.
"They are the product of a conspiracy between a number of the Iraqi core participants to pervert the course of justice."
The four-year inquiry has been examining the Battle of Danny Boy - named after a British checkpoint near the town of Majar al-Kabir in southern Iraq - during the Iraq war.
British troops were accused of unlawfully killing 20 or more Iraqis at the nearby Camp Abu Naj.
But Neil Garnham QC from Treasury Solicitors - which represented many of the British personnel involved in the inquiry - said that some Iraqi witnesses had resorted to "elaborate fabrication" to explain why they and others were on the battlefield in the first place.
He accused the witnesses of being motivated by the prospect of receiving compensation.
Last month Public Interest Lawyers, acting for the Iraqi families and surviving detainees, said there was "insufficient evidence to support a finding of unlawful killing".
By Caroline HawleyBBC world affairs correspondent
Wednesday marked an end to 169 days of hearings before an inquiry which has heard from hundreds of British and Iraqi witnesses. More than £22m from the public purse has been spent on it.
And, after the central allegations - of murder and mutilation in British custody - were withdrawn last month, questions are inevitably being asked about whether the inquiry should ever have happened.
Lawyers for the British soldiers involved in the battle and its aftermath have been witheringly critical of the reliability and motives of the Iraqi witnesses.
But the MoD has been blamed for bringing this inquiry on itself by failing to convince the courts that it had carried out a proper investigation of the events of 14 May 2004 - and by High Court judges for a "lamentable" failure to disclose information, including complaints made by detainees to the Red Cross.
There are likely to be lessons from this inquiry for both sides.
The inquiry is also examining claims that British troops mistreated nine detainees arrested after the battle.
Lawyers for the Iraqis told the inquiry that these outstanding allegations were "grave indeed".
Patrick O'Connor QC described them as: "Gross violations of the Geneva Conventions, inhuman and degrading treatment of wounded, broken and helpless young men, who were utterly at the mercy of their military handlers and interrogators."
The MoD has admitted that one detainee was grabbed and shaken, and that another may have been slapped.
It also concedes that the detainees should have been given a proper meal when they were first captured.
The inquiry was established after the MoD failed to prove that it had carried out a proper examination of the events of 14 May 2004.
The MoD was condemned for a "lamentable" failure to disclose information, including complaints made by detainees to the Red Cross.
"None of this would have been necessary if they had acted responsibly and in the public interest years ago," Mr O'Connor added.
"The heavy cost of this inquiry is the heavy cost of their dereliction of legal, moral and professional duty."
The inquiry is named after one of the Iraqi men, 19-year-old Hamid al-Sweady, who was alleged to have been unlawfully killed while being held following the battle.
It has been hearing closing oral submissions from the inquiry's core participants.
The Committee on Climate Change told BBC News that just as scientists are predicting more extreme weather, buildings are still being allowed on flood plains, gardens are still being paved over and urban green space is being lost.
The committee said an extra £500m was needed to stop flooding getting even worse.
The government said a record amount was already being spent on flood defences.
Members of the committee, the government's official advisory body, have been exasperated by the row over dredging in the Somerset Levels.
They say the floods debate is far too narrow, and insist the whole water system in the UK needs to be re-engineered to catch water on the uplands and prevent flooding downstream.
The committee's specialist on adapting to climate change, Daniel Johns, said: "Flood damages are expected to increase across the UK. Scientists are becoming bolder in attributing recent weather events and flooding to the level of global warming already observed.
"But measures of our exposure to flooding are going in the wrong direction.
"Development appears to be continuing in areas of significant flood risk despite planning controls. Urban green space is being lost and gardens are being paved over. Permeable paving options are available but their take-up appears very low.
"Every millimetre of rain deposits a litre of water on a square metre of land. A day of even modest rainfall can deposit several million litres of water on a town or city."
He called for the widespread adoption of so-called Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), which capture water and slow the rate that it enters the drains.
If the £500m needed for flood risk management was not spent, increasing numbers of homes would be at "significant flood risk", Mr Johns said.
"As a result, we can expect avoidable flooding to take place in future years, causing as much as perhaps £3bn in damages," he said.
He said the £500m was needed over a four-year period.
His comments were backed by Andrew Miller, chair of the Commons Science and Technology Committee.
Mr Miller said the government should reforest hillsides where soil had been compacted by sheep, and use "soft engineering" to capture rainfall in upstream areas.
"We have got to think differently about the way we do things," he told BBC News.
"Clearly it makes sense for us to do engineering work upstream if we can slow down the flow of water much more cheaply and effectively than by taking measures downstream. These issues are even more important given the prospect of climate change."
Mr Miller said it was time to re-focus the debate on flooding towards prevention rather than cure.
What is believed to be the UK's biggest preventive scheme is underway in Llanelli.
Welsh Water, a not-for-profit company, introduced it because the town's sewerage system repeatedly flooded homes and polluted the River Lliedi.
It involves digging up stretches of tarmac and paving to create catchment pits for storm water, diverting water into the pits from gutters and finally putting grass and plants on top of the pits.
The water is held in the soil and slowly seeps away or evaporates. The ideas have been praised by the water regulator Ofwat.
Steve Wilson, a director of Welsh Water, told BBC News: "Llanelli suffers quite a lot of flooding. Traditionally we would build bigger pipes or tanks to catch the water but we're reaching the capacity of them too soon.
"So we are trying an approach that will be cheaper and more effective. We are taking water off the roofs and the streets, then instead of putting it down the highway drains we're finding other ways of putting it back into the environment and being slowed down."
He said some of the early parts of the scheme were catching more water than envisaged. He said the total project would take 22,500 cubic metres of water every year out of sewers, removing the risk of flooding from 57 properties.
Another local innovation is an ingeniously designed playground at the nearby Stebonheath Junior School, which includes a grassy hollow for trapping flood water - known as a swale.
Dylan Davies and Caitlin Thomas, both 11, said pupils had also helped design a rain-catching garden with a pond.
"The playground used to be all flooded. It's much better now," they said.
"When it rains, it runs off the roof and the playground into the swale which absorbs the water and pushes it gently into the drains. It doesn't flood any more."
Recent changes in planning law oblige all new developments to catch water from their own site and prevent it adding to floods, although the full implementation of the law has been delayed by what critics claim is disarray in government.
Other experimental schemes are attempting to hold water on upland sites by cramming gorse into streams from peat bogs, blocking young rivers with fallen trees and creating low-level earth dams to contain water so it soaks into the soil.
It will be a challenge to devise policies that incentivise farmers to re-forest upland areas to catch water and stop soil running off into streams. Some think farmers should be obliged to change the way they farm in order to obtain their grants from taxpayers.
Tackling the legacy of decades of flood-inducing buildings in towns and cities will be even more costly and challenging. Water engineers hope major supermarkets will demonstrate their claims over social responsibility by breaking up their car parks and installing porous surfaces to catch run-off.
Scheme like this were recommended in the Pitt report into the 2007 floods. They will come under renewed scrutiny as the government studies the lessons to be learned from this year's deluge.

Launching its manifesto, the NHA Party would also "end austerity" and oppose "privatisation" of the NHS in England.
Founded by doctors, nurses and paramedics, the party says it is the only one serious about fixing the NHS.
The party is fielding candidates in 12 English parliamentary constituencies.
These include party founder and co-leader Dr Clive Peedell, a consultant cancer specialist who is challenging David Cameron in his Witney constituency.
Other candidates include Dr Richard Taylor, a former independent MP who won the Wyre Forest seat in the 2001 and 2005 elections on a promise to save his local hospital from closure.
Launching the NHA Party's manifesto, Dr Peedell said his party was the only one "fully addressing" the £30bn NHS funding gap and the underlying problems facing the health service.
Cash injection
And with the prospect of a hung Parliament, "even just a couple of NHA MPs could make a huge difference," he said.
"We're the only party that is serious about fixing our NHS," he said. "We're the only party you can trust to do the job.
"The NHS has always been there to fix us when we're ill. Now it needs us to restore it to health.
This issue includes NHS funding, GP access and social care, particularly of older people.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
"We're the only party that is talking about an immediate cash injection for the NHS; not in two years or by the end of the parliament, but right now. We are the only party that is prepared to back up its pledges with a real commitment."
The NHA Party's 47-page election manifesto sets out its main policy pledges, which include:
Dr Louise Irvine, a Lewisham GP who is standing against Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt in South West Surrey, claimed increased private sector involvement in the NHS was not cost effective.
"Some private provision is fine, but a lot of it is poor quality and isn't open to the same scrutiny and accountability that the NHS is," she told BBC Two's Daily Politics.
The party, which is financed by donations and membership subs, was launched in 2012 in opposition to the coalition's "top-down NHS reorganisation". It is not entitled to a party election broadcast, but has an election video instead.

Ben Robinson, 14, from Carrickfergus, County Antrim, died after suffering concussion in the match in 2011. He was in several heavy tackles before collapsing near the end of the game.
A coroner found that his death was caused by "second impact syndrome".
He said it was "probably" the first such case in the UK.
The summons, issued at Belfast High Court, also named Carrickfergus Grammar School, Ulster Rugby, the teenager's rugby coach and the match referee.
In a statement, the family said the summons was for "negligence regarding concussive-type injuries" and "their failures in their duty of care owed to Benjamin".
The statement alleges that during the match "there were numerous opportunities for those in charge to notice that Benjamin had sustained several concussive-type head injuries".
It added: "It is the case of Benjamin's parents and family that Carrickfergus Grammar School, the IRFU, the Ulster Branch of the IRFU and World Rugby were in charge of disseminating information with regard to the risks of concussion in rugby and therefore, the coach of the schoolboy rugby team and the referee should have been aware or should have had the means of being aware that concussion is dangerous and could result in death."
The statement also said that the family's legal team had "gathered further evidence to confirm that Benjamin's death was due to second impact syndrome and was preventable".
It added that "proceedings are well advanced".

BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson has been blogging about David Cameron's manifesto launch in Swindon.
He writes: "Today the Tory leader tried to re-discover the rhetorical "sunshine" he was once associated with - with his promise to deliver the 'Good Life' in a country which he claimed was on the 'brink of something special'.
"So, gone is the 'age of austerity'. Gone too the warnings of red flashing lights on the dashboard. Gone all talk of difficult decisions."
For the political parties, they are the key to power. But for social media devotees, manifesto launches present another opportunity to poke fun. The BBC's Kerry Alexandra takes a look at the online reaction.
Confused about how a new British government is formed? The BBC's Rob Watson has set out to explain the process.
Key quotes
Prime Minister David Cameron: "At the heart of this manifesto is a simple proposition: we are the party of the working people offering you security at every stage of your life."
Labour leader Ed Miliband: "The Conservatives are claiming they can fund right-to-buy with a bounced cheque."
Lib Dem Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg: "It's a measure of how the Conservatives have run out of new ideas that on the day they publish their manifesto their big idea is a poor cover version of one of Margaret Thatcher's 1980s hits."
UKIP leader Nigel Farage: "It's a re-hash of so much that was said in 2010 and has not been delivered upon, with a new initiative on housing which will do nothing to guarantee those homes go to British people or solve our housing crisis - and perhaps most worryingly of all no commitment to Britain's defence whatsoever."
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon: "Tory policy over the past five years has penalised the poorest people in our society. It's penalised women with children, the disabled, the vulnerable and, of course, it hasn't even worked on its own terms."
Green leader Natalie Bennett on her party's manifesto: "This is a vision that sees the end of the disastrous policy of austerity that is making the poor, the disadvantaged and the young pay for the greed and the fraud of the bankers. And this is a vision that is exciting increasing numbers of Britons."
UK politicians are pulling out the stops to attract "the women's vote". But is it really possible to lump all female voters together, asks the BBC's Vanessa Barford.

The Australian said he can "feel" the "long-seated rivalry" towards England as they prepare to face Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday (16:50 GMT).
It is Jones' first home match after away wins over Scotland and Italy.
"Maybe Clive Woodward summed it up best when he said everyone hates England - that's true," Jones said.
"I'm not going to use it, but within the side they can use it. As I said when I took over, I'm not English, I'm Australian, but I will be absolutely committed to them."
Jones revealed he sees Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi's future for England in the 12 shirt - once he is fully back to match fitness as he continues his return for Tigers after long-term injury.
"I think inside centre is his best position. He's not a 13. That's what I know he's not. He's definitely a 12. He can carry the ball across the gain line," Jones said.
"He threw a beautiful left to right pass on Friday night. And then he threw a terrible right to left, so maybe he's left handed!
"He's got all the attributes to be an outstanding 12."
England are level with France at the top of the Six Nations table, ahead on points difference with both sides on six points after two games.
Jones continued to insist his side was a "work in progress", but praised his players for "commitment", "taking initiative" and "being independent".
And he is preparing England for an aerial bombardment from two-time defending champions Ireland, adding: "They kick 70% of their ball away. If they want to do that, good luck to them.
"It has worked for them. It is not the way I think you should play rugby but it has been successful for them, so good luck."
It knocked Years and Years' Communion into second after two weeks at the top.

They say at least four Afghan policemen, and two Spanish guards also died in the attack.
Reports say a civilian was also killed in the assault which began late on Friday.
The Taliban said its fighters had detonated a car bomb in the Sherpur district before entering the area.
The Taliban confirmed the deaths of its fighters but its Voice of Jihad website said the gunmen killed 20 Afghans and foreigners. The group has been known to make exaggerated claims in the past which later proved unfounded.
Initial reports suggested that the Spanish embassy was under attack, but Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy denied this.
Kabul police spokesperson Basir Mujahid told the BBC that the first attacker detonated his explosives at the entrance of the guesthouse.
The other three managed to enter the building, firing randomly on nearby houses.
They were all killed after a gun battle that lasted several hours, Mr Mujahid said.
At least nine people were injured.
It was the latest in a series of raids by Taliban fighters on high-profile targets in Afghanistan.
The assault came just hours after President Ashraf Ghani expressed optimism about the resumption of peace talks with the Taliban.
On Tuesday, at least 50 people were killed in a Taliban attack on Kandahar airport.
Output rose by 3% in April from a year earlier, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, the fastest annual rate since January 2011.
The narrower measure of manufacturing output rose 4.4% year-on-year, the fastest pace since February 2011.
Meanwhile, economists at research group NIESR estimate that UK gross domestic product is now above pre-crisis levels.
The ONS said that both industrial output and manufacturing output increased by 0.4% during April itself.
Manufacturing output was boosted by transport equipment, electronic products, and rubber and plastics.
However, the levels of industrial output and manufacturing output were respectively 11.3% and 7.0% below the pre-downturn GDP peak of the first quarter of 2008, the ONS said.
"Robust momentum in manufacturing shows no sign of easing, with activity across the sector broadening out impressively over the past year," said Neil Prothero, deputy chief economist at manufacturers' body EEF.
"Production is now at its highest level in five years, highlighting industry's prominent role in the economic upturn, despite the subdued trend in external trade."
IHS Global Insight's chief UK and European economist, Howard Archer, said that manufacturing output had expanded month-on-month for five successive months, and that "this fuels hopes that the sector can make a sustained contribution to balanced UK growth".
In addition, a "robust gain in industrial production in April indicates that it started off the second quarter on the front foot and is well placed to make a healthy contribution to GDP growth", he said.
Separately, data published on Tuesday from the National Institute for Economic and Social Research suggests that UK GDP grew by 0.9% in the three months ending in May, after growth of 1.1% in the three months to April.
On this estimate, the level of GDP has surpassed its pre-recession peak, and is approximately 0.2% above where it was in January 2008.
NIESR forecasts GDP growth of 2.9% for this year and 2.4% in 2015, which is unchanged from its projection last month.
Last week, the IMF warned the UK government that accelerating house prices and low productivity posed the greatest threat to the UK's economic recovery, but noted that there was evidence that the economy was now rebalancing towards an "investment-led recovery".
It is hoped the cells, which are able to transform into a range of tissues, will lessen symptoms of incurable brittle bone disease.
The trial, starting in January, will be led by Sweden's Karolinska Institute and in the UK by Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The stem cells will come from terminated pregnancies.
Brittle bone disease, officially called osteogenesis imperfecta, affects around one in every 25,000 births.
It can be fatal with babies born with multiple fractures. Even those who survive face up to 15 bone fractures a year, brittle teeth, impaired hearing and growth problems.
What are stem cells?
It is caused by errors in the developing baby's DNA - their blueprint of life - that mean the collagen supposed to give bone its structure is either missing or of poor quality.
The donated stem cells should provide the correct instructions for growing bone.
Prof Lyn Chitty, from Great Ormond Street Hospital, will carry out genetic testing to search for the defects that lead to the condition.
She told the BBC News website: "This is a very serious disease. Our objective is to see if in utero (in the womb) stem cell therapy can ameliorate the condition and the number of fractures."
A type of stem cell which develops into healthy bone, cartilage and muscle will be infused directly into the affected foetuses.
Fifteen babies will have the infusion in the womb and again after they are born.
A further 15 will only have the treatment after birth and the number of fractures will be compared with untreated patients.
Case Study: Adam Reynolds
Adam, from Farnborough in Hampshire, was born with broken arms and a fracture in his spine.
He says his main problem growing up was "learning to be sensible" when "as a kid you just want to run around and have fun with mates".
Whenever he played football he would have to go in goal to minimise the risk.
He cannot keep track of how many times he's broken his bones, but puts the figure somewhere between 30 and 40.
Adam says he has fewer fractures than other people with osteogenesis imperfecta, but takes longer to heal.
In May 2009 he broke his leg. Six years and 12 operations later it has still not fully recovered. His left leg is four inches shorter than his right.
"Day-to-day life is awkward. If someone stubs their toe on a table they go 'Ow!' - for me it's 'Did I break my toe'?" he says.
But Adam, now 21, does not feel that the condition has held him back in life.
Last week he graduated with a first class honours degree in accounting and finance and is already working.
He says: "The idea of a cure coming out or something to help at such an early age is just fantastic news."
Dr Cecilia Gotherstrom, from the Karolinska Institute, told the BBC: "If we could reduce the fracture frequency, strengthen bone and improve growth it would have a huge impact."
Stem cell transplants appear to ease symptoms in children. Starting even earlier when the bone is developing and growing rapidly has the potential to be more effective.
"In-the-womb" foetal stem cell transplants have been tried in two cases of osteogenesis imperfecta. But without a proper clinical trial it is impossible to know how effective the therapy is.
Dr Gotherstrom added: "It is the first in-man trial and, if successful, it will pave the way for other prenatal treatments when parents have no other option."
She said muscle disorders such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other bone disorders could one day benefit from such therapies.
The first infusion will take place 20 to 34 weeks into the pregnancy. This is after the gonads have formed and there should be no risk of the donated cells becoming part of the recipient's sperm or eggs.
Any risk of the donated tissue being rejected in the same way as an organ transplant is thought to be low.
Commenting on the trial, Dr Dusko Ilic, a reader in stem cell science at King's College London, told the BBC: "Any attempt to help the patients suffering this terrible, debilitating disease is more than welcome."
However, he warned the disease varied so widely from patient to patient that it could be difficult to prove how effective the stem cells were.
He added: "People with the same type of osteogenesis imperfecta may present a different clinical picture, even within the same family.
"At the same time, cellular therapy is unlikely to work to the same extent in different individuals.
"How will we know whether a milder phenotype (symptoms) in a child that received the treatment is natural or is a result of the treatment?"
The trial will start in January and will recruit patients for two years.

Elliot Bradbrook and Duane Ofori-Acheampong dragged the hosts level three times, but goals from Deacon, Craig Eastmond, Maxime Biamou and Stearn clinched Sutton's first away win since August and puts them into the second round for the first time in five years.
With less than a minute played Biamou crossed low to Eastmond, whose shot trickled through the hands of Deren Ibrahim.
Dartford recovered quickly, with Bradbrook striking from 25 yards to level the scores, but 10 minutes later failure to clear a Sutton corner allowed an unmarked Deacon to fire home.
In the 17th minute referee Samuel Allison awarded a debatable penalty for an Eastmond handball, and Bradbrook duly converted.
But just six minutes later Deacon burst through a statuesque Dartford back four and squared to Biamou, who shot low in the bottom left-hand corner.
Ofori-Acheampong equalised early in the second half, but goals from Stearn and Deacon put distance between the teams before Stearn's 20-yard effort capped the win three minutes into injury time.

Bronze medallist Tyrone Pillay says he was prevented from boarding an internal flight from Johannesburg to Durban as he made his way back from Brazil.
On Twitter, the athlete called the airline "disrespectful".
South African Airways says he should have been allowed on board with the prosthesis and is investigating.
"Our policy makes provision for passenger assistive devices to be carried into the cabin," said airline spokesperson Tlali Tlali.
"Mr Pillay's prosthetic legs fall under this classification and should have been allowed."
He said Mr Pillay was unable to keep the prosthetic leg with him in the plane's cabin, but it was unclear what had happened to it.
"We have offered an inconsistent service. He was allowed to board our flight from Sao Paulo to Johannesburg, so we want to establish from the staff member here exactly what happened," he added.
Mr Mallon, a Dublin-based director of THG Sports, was granted bail after a Supreme Court ruling in Brasilia.
He was released from the maximum security Bangu 10 prison at about 22:00 local time (02:00 BST).
Mr Mallon and his legal team left the prison without making any comment.
Under his bail conditions, Mr Mallon must stay in Brazil and adhere to a 20:00 local time curfew.
He must also inform authorities as to his whereabouts and is banned from all Olympic and Paralympic venues.
Mr Mallon was also due to be electronically tagged.
A court in Rio ruled it was not necessary after his release was delayed because of a lack of electronic ankle bracelets.
The THG director was arrested on 5 August. Police said that more than 700 tickets, organised in envelopes and marked for sale, were found in a safe with him.
THG, a corporate and sports hospitality group based in London, said Mr Mallon did not sell or seek to sell the tickets but was holding them for collection by clients of Pro 10 Management.
Pro 10 are the authorised Irish ticket reseller.
On Saturday, THG said it welcomed the news of Mr Mallon's bail and would work to secure his full release.
It said it believes the company and its executives will be vindicated when all of the evidence is reviewed.
It is believed Mr Mallon has been sharing a cell with former OCI president Pat Hickey in Bangu 10 prison.
Mr Hickey, 71, has also been arrested in connection with illegal ticket sales. He denies any wrongdoing.
On Friday, Irish foreign minister Charlie Flanagan agreed to meet with the family of Mr Hickey after they said they were "gravely concerned" about his health and his continued detention.
The Olympic Council of Ireland has appointed accountants Grant Thornton to conduct an independent review of its handling of ticketing arrangements for the Rio games.
It says the review will be completed by 10 October and passed to Judge Carroll Moran to consider as part of the Irish government's inquiry deliberations.
Daryl Wallace, 19, made a brief appearance in private before Sheriff Kevin Drummond QC.
No plea or declaration was made and the case was continued for further inquiry. He was released on bail.
His appearance follows reports of an attack on a 27-year-old woman in a wooded area of Dalkeith in the early hours of Sunday 28 June.
Manisha Moores said Iranian-born Bijan Ebrahimi had come to England as a refugee in 2001 to find a better life.
He was arrested by police after he was seen taking pictures around the Bristol estate where he lived.
Avon and Somerset Police said there was no proof to back up the allegation he was a paedophile.
Ms Moores said her brother had "no doubt" that he was coming to a safe place and that he did not believe anything bad would happen to him in the UK.
Mr Ebrahimi had been suffering racial and physical abuse on the estate he lived on in the Brislington area of the city, said Ms Moores.
She added he was told he needed to provide photographic evidence to support his allegations of harassment and damage to his property.
But in July local people believed he was inappropriately filming children and he was wrongly accused of being a paedophile.
Police were called and he was arrested on suspicion of a breach of the peace.
He was taken away as a crowd reportedly shouted and called him names.
Officers later examined his camera, videos and computers but found nothing suspicious and he was released without charge.
Avon and Somerset Police insist Mr Ebrahimi was not a paedophile and that there was absolutely nothing to stand up the allegations.
Mr Ebrahimi's sister said he returned to his house believing he would get support from the police if he needed it.
Within two days he had been beaten to death and his body set on fire after it was doused in white spirit.
Ms Moores said police should have realised he was coming back to a "hostile environment".
"Maybe Bijan wasn't understanding the tension but for people with experience like the police they should have at least explained to the people there wasn't any evidence of what they were accusing him [of]," she said.
"We feel so let down by the police and other agencies and we would like to know why."
Lee James, 24, of Capgrave Crescent, Bristol, admitted his murder, at Bristol Crown Court.
Stephen Norley, 24, also of Capgrave Crescent, was originally charged with murder but that charge was dropped and he admitted assisting an offender.
Both men are due to be sentenced on Thursday.
The police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), is investigating the circumstances of Mr Ebrahimi's dealings with the force.
Three officers have been suspended by the force while the IPCC looks at the way it dealt with him in the days leading up to his death.
While the outcome of that investigation is yet to be published, Ms Moores said the family wanted to know exactly what happened to Mr Ebrahimi in the last couple of days of his life.
"He made so many calls [to the police] and we want to know why, if he asked for help, they didn't give him the help he deserved?"
The family found out about Mr Ebrahimi's death as they waited at an airport to come home from a Spanish holiday.
She said: "It was such a terrible, terrible moment being in the airport and hearing the news.
"You never think anyone could do such a barbaric act.
"We are devastated and haven't come to terms with losing Bijan... losing someone in such a way is unimaginable."
She added: "We go as many times as we can to his grave to cry and to feel that he is there.
"We couldn't say our goodbyes to him, we couldn't see his face and we couldn't bury him in the time that our religion allows us to do - we had to wait a long time to be able to do that."
His family believe he was picked on as he lived alone, was disabled, vulnerable, and because "he was different".
"He was an easy target - it was a hate crime and [that was] obvious from some people's reaction in the last few days of his life," said Ms Moores.
"It was devastating for us to hear [the allegations] - I don't know where that had come from - he was not a paedophile.
"I hope people understand the consequences of these rumours and the allegations against innocent people and what it's going to lead to.
"They're going to regret it for the rest of their lives."
Avon and Somerset's Chief Constable, Nick Gargan, said collectively agencies and authorities had failed Mr Ebrahimi.
Ms Moores said the news left her "disappointed, frustrated and sad".
"How could anyone be failed by so many agencies?
"If they helped him find a safer place... then that could have prevented what happened to Bijan."
That is 57% above average for the summer month, making it also the wettest July on record since 2010.
The UK as a whole saw 107mm of rain, or 37% more than normal, with all areas receiving more rain than average.
According to the Republic of Ireland's weather service, Met Éireann, most areas across Ireland were also wetter than normal.
Shannon Airport had its wettest July since 1946 when more than double the average rain fell at the County Clare site.
However, it was also the sunniest July in Northern Ireland since 2013 with 170.5 hours of sunshine, or 21% more than normal.
This reflects the fact that we enjoyed some warm and sunny weather during the first 18 days of the month.
The figure for the UK as a whole was 171 hours - which is normal for the time of year.
Temperature-wise, July was fairly unremarkable with an average temperature of 14.4 celsius, just 0.2 celsius below normal.
They tour New Zealand in 2017, with Wales' Dan Biggar and Ireland's Johnny Sexton of Ireland the leading contenders to be fly-half.
Ospreys' Biggar faces Leinster's Sexton on Friday, and ex-Lion Phil Bennett rates them among the world's best.
"Those going to the Liberty will see two world-class fly-halves," he said.
"They're two outstanding 10s, probably in the top five in the world."
Leinster, who are second and just one point behind leaders Scarlets, have won their last six Pro12 games.
The seventh-placed Ospreys are aiming to emulate their Irish opponents as they aim for a sixth successive league victory.
Bennett believes the clash between Biggar and Sexton will be pivotal to the result between Ospreys and Leinster.
The former Wales fly-half also thinks the two players are in prime position for the 2017 Lions tour of New Zealand.
"There's a long way to go before we talk about the Lions tour," Bennett added.
"People will be looking at Dan Biggar's form in New Zealand [where Wales are on tour in June] when he's facing the All Blacks.
"But those two players are leading the race to be the top two fly-halves to go down to New Zealand."

Cuadrado has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract for a fee which could rise to £26.8m.
The 26-year-old, who impressed for Colombia at the World Cup, joined Chelsea after fellow winger Andre Schurrle moved to Wolfsburg for £22m.
Salah, 22, moves to Serie A side Fiorentina until the end of the season.
The Egypt winger has made 19 appearances for Chelsea since joining the club from Basel for a fee in the region of £11m in January 2014. However, he has only started six Premier League games.
New Chelsea signing Cuadrado said: "I am very happy and thankful for this opportunity I've been given. This is a great club and honestly it is like a dream to join the Chelsea family and to know that the manager believes in me. I'm happy."
It is thought Cuadrado, who has scored five goals in 37 international appearances, had a release clause in his contract of £26.8m.
Cuadrado played in Italy for five and a half years, initially joining Udinese from Medellin in his homeland in 2009. After a loan spell at Lecce, he moved to Fiorentina in 2012 and scored 20 goals in 85 Serie A appearances for the Florence side.
Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella revealed the deal was imminent on Friday, saying: "It was a sale that had to be done.
"Cuadrado is a player that has always arrived with a smile and given everything to Fiorentina - I'm happy for him because he is going to a big club."
"James Rodriguez was Colombia's undoubted World Cup star - but Juan Guillermo Cuadrado was not far behind.
"Chelsea's new acquisition solved Colombia's tactical problem. The defensive line had to sit deep to protect veteran centre back Mario Yepes. It was Cuadrado who kept dragging the team forward and opening up the pitch with his sustained pace and effervescent dribbling down the right flank.
"He is at his best as a wide right-midfielder - especially as over the last couple of seasons he has started scoring more goals. But he can also feature as an attacking right-back, or cut in from the other flank.
"Some three years ago a Premier League giant had a look at Cuadrado but concluded that he was too old - a strange decision given that he is still only 26, and should be looking forward to playing his prime years under Jose Mourinho, who will certainly enjoy the pace on the transitions that his new Colombian acquisition will bring to the side."
McNulty scored as Portsmouth beat Championship club Ipswich 2-1 in a third-round replay at Fratton Park.
And League Two Pompey will host Premier League club Bournemouth on 30 January.
"Everyone's excited, it will be a sell-out. It's not just exciting for the players, it's great for the fans too," McNulty told BBC Radio Solent.

Portsmouth and Bournemouth last met in a competitive fixture in February 2013, when goals from Lewis Grabban and Marc Pugh gave the Cherries a 2-0 victory in League One.
Since that match, the two clubs have gone on differing paths, but Pompey are among the contenders for automatic promotion from League Two.
"That's the great thing about the FA Cup," Sheffield United loanee McNulty added. "You get the chance to test yourself against the best players in the country.
"We're really looking forward to it, playing against a Premier League side is very exciting."
Peter Dutton said five detainees were injured, but could not confirm reports that police had used rubber bullets.
The immigration department said all areas of the facility were back under "full and effective control" after police used "some force".
The disturbances began on Sunday after an escaped detainee was found dead.
Inmates had started fires inside the buildings and barricaded themselves inside a compound with weapons.
Christmas Island is a remote outpost located 2,650km (1,650 miles) north-west of Perth and 380km south of Java in Indonesia.
It is part of Australia's network of offshore processing centres for irregular migrants who arrive by boat, but also houses foreigners facing deportation after committing crimes in Australia.
Police reinforcements arrived at the detention centre early on Tuesday to restore order.
The immigration department said "some force" had been used against "a core group of detainees who had built barricades and actively resisted attempts to secure compounds, including threatened use of weapons and improvised weapons".
Some common areas appear to be severely damaged, it added, but said order was restored "largely through negotiation and co-operation with detainees".
Five detainees were being treated for non life-threatening injuries or medical conditions.
Mr Dutton later said the detainees were injured "as a result of their interaction with the police and their refusal to comply with the directions provided by the Australian Federal Police".
He blamed the unrest on "a hardened criminal population that occupies the immigration detention centre".
It is difficult to verify information about what happens on Christmas Island as the media are generally barred from reporting there.
The unrest started late on Sunday, when a group of Iranian inmates staged a protest about the death of an Iranian Kurd, Fazel Chegeni.
Mr Chegeni had broken out of the facility on Saturday. His body was found the next day at the bottom of a cliff.
The Christmas Island centre
Australia asylum: Why is it controversial?
Under controversial policies, Australia sends all intercepted asylum seekers to Christmas Island as well as Manus Island in Papua New Guinea and Nauru in the South Pacific.
The government says the journey the asylum seekers make by sea to reach Australia is dangerous and controlled by criminal gangs and they have a duty to stop it. Critics say opposition to granting asylum is often racially motivated and is damaging Australia's reputation.
The policy was branded a "disaster" by Human Rights Watch's Australia director in July. The group also raised concern over conditions at the Manus camp.
Last February, an Iranian man was killed during a riot at the camp on Manus. The trial of a Salvation Army worker and a camp guard accused over his murder restarts later this month.
Australia is this week facing renewed criticism from the United Nations over the policies, with the US, Britain and others using a UN forum to say it should stop turning back boats and close the offshore centres.
Sarah Khatri was targeted by two men after parking outside St Columba Church in Chantry Road, Moseley, Birmingham at about 09:45 GMT on 27 March.
The men tried to pull her out of the car before she was threatened with the blade and her Kia was stolen, police said.
West Midlands Police said an investigation has been launched.

It is the lastest attack following a spate of car-jackings in the city.
Mrs Khatri said: "I had got the engine running because it was quite chilly outside and then I noticed a shadow blocking out the light next to my side of the car.
"Next thing I know, I felt a jolt on the car and then I felt somebody opening the door."
While one of the attackers attempted to get in via the driver's door, a second man sat in the passenger seat.
Mrs Khatri, 37, initially fought back and managed to scream for help, until one of the men brandished a knife.
She said: "All I remember is him bringing it to my neck in slow mention, he looked me in my eye and just went 'get out the car'.
"I just thought enough, it's not worth it."
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "Officers were at the scene within minutes and we continue to make enquiries into the theft."
Neighbours rescued the woman from her home in Sorbie on Monday evening but she died at the scene.
Officers from Police Scotland's major investigation team are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fire and the death of Ms Stephenson.
A spokesman said they are treating the incident as unexplained, rather than suspicious.
Det Ch Insp Allan Burton, of the major investigation team, said: "We are currently carrying out our enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
"We are keen to hear from anyone who may have had recent contact with the victim Mona Stephenson in the past few days, or indeed were in the area of St Johns Place in the early evening of Monday 26 January, to get in touch with us through 101 if they can help."
A joint investigation into the cause of the fire has been carried out by Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Police said the procurator fiscal has been informed and a post mortem examination is being arranged.
Cardiff Met University Ladies will be representing Wales after securing their third consecutive Women's Welsh Premier League title.
They will compete in one of four-team, one-venue mini-tournaments.
The Football Association of Wales have yet to announce the qualifying round venues.
The Uefa Women's Champions League comprises a qualifying group stage, four rounds of two-legged knockout ties and a one-off final.
Cardiff City Stadium will host the final on Thursday, 1 June with the men's Champions League final held at the Principality Stadium two days later.
For years transport bosses insisted the New Routemaster buses did not need opening windows and for years the complaints about heat on the top deck kept on coming.
Now TfL will spend £2m resolving the problem, retro-fitting all the vehicles with opening windows on the top deck and two downstairs.
It said it had listened to passengers but it's not clear yet why it has had a change of heart.
TfL's director of buses, Mike Weston, said: "We don't think it will make the buses cooler on really hot days, but what it will do is it will create a bit of a breeze... so I think it will make customers feel a little bit more comfortable.
"I think it's the right design for London, we're just doing a bit of tweaking to make it even better."
Caroline Pidgeon, London Assembly leader of the Liberal Democrats, described the current buses as a "cauldron on wheels" and said "it simply beggars belief that such expensive buses were ever purchased by the mayor and TfL with such a basic design fault".
TfL had bought them for £350,000 each.
The introduction of the bus was used as a rallying call in Mayor Boris Johnson's 2008 election campaign, but his flagship transport project has had plenty of problems.
The batteries have sometimes failed, meaning they have had to rely on diesel, and some no longer have conductors meaning their unique selling point - the hop-on and hop-off aspect - is greatly restricted.
There are currently 550 on the streets of London and that is set to rise to 800.
Critics have called them a vanity project and said it would have been cheaper to buy hybrid buses off the peg.
Labour's London Assembly Transport Spokesperson, Val Shawcross, said: "With passengers enduring years of suffocating journeys on overheated buses, these upgrades will be welcomed.
"But the paying public has been left to fork out £2m for more upgrades to what was supposed to be a state-of-the-art vehicle."
This is the transport system that keeps having snags.
While some love them, it does remind me of one industry insider who said to me years ago - politics and transport projects rarely mix.

Labour AMs in key marginal seats told Sunday Politics Wales Mr Cobryn has boosted party membership and enthused supporters.
Some party figures have concerns about how voters will see his left-wing policies, particularly in seats where there is a challenge from the Tories.
First Minister Carwyn Jones met Mr Corbyn for the first time this week.
The new UK party leader has said he will visit Wales once a month in the run up to the election.
Cardiff North AM Julie Morgan said Mr Corbyn's success has almost doubled the party's membership in her area.
The Conservatives won the seat in the general election, but the constituency has been closely-fought between Labour and the Conservatives in recent years.
"One of our key tasks in Welsh Labour is to convert all that enthusiasm for the hard work we need to get done in the Labour party - the door knocking, the envelope filling, the telephone canvassing", she said.
Ms Morgan, who supported Yvette Cooper in the leadership election, warned that Welsh Labour's voice could be drowned out by the focus on its new parliamentary leader.
She said: "What we've got to make sure is that we do hear the voice of the leader in Wales and the voice of Welsh Labour, because what we've done in Wales and what we plan to do is a really good platform to fight the election."
Another Labour backbencher claims the new UK party leader can give the party a fillip in another key seat.
Labour lost Gower to the Conservatives at the general election - a seat it had held for more than 100 years.
Swansea East AM Mike Hedges, who backed Mr Corbyn in the leadership election, said some Labour voters in Gower stayed at home during the general election "because they couldn't see enough of a difference between Labour and the Conservatives".
He added: "He might enthuse a large number of people who I know living in places like Clydach and other working class villages around Clydach who stayed at home."
Llanelli MP Nia Griffith said there will not be any no-go areas in Wales for Mr Corbyn.
Speaking to Sunday Politics Wales, the shadow Welsh Secretary rejected the idea that Mr Corbyn would not visit marginal constituencies ahead of next year's assembly elections.
"He has an appeal right across the spectrum," she said. "He appeals to the idea that he is genuine and sincere".
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies warned on Saturday Mr Corbyn and Mr Jones were the "two most dangerous men for Wales' future".
But Vale of Clwyd AM Ann Jones said the Conservatives' claim that Labour are a threat to national security is "appalling".
"I was disappointed to see the prime minister say that people like me are now a national threat because of my UK leader.
"The real threat to hard-working families - those who are now working but still having to go to food banks because of the Tory cuts - the Tories have got a lot to answer for, they are the real danger in Wales."

The deep chugging rumbling of a conventional helicopter rotor is mixed with the loud whining noise of two wing-mounted forward-facing propellers, making it difficult to guess what is coming.
As the aircraft swoops over Montagne Sainte-Victoire, shaking the windows in holiday cottages and farm houses below, it becomes clear that this flying machine resembles nothing else in the skies.
Eurocopter's X3 rotorcraft - pronounced "X cubed" - is basically a chopper with wings, which will be seen for the first time by the public next week as part of the aerial displays at the Paris air show.
The prototype combines the versatility of a helicopter, by way of vertical take-off and landing, with the higher speed of a plane.
"It's exactly like a helicopter," says flight test engineer Dominique Fournier. "But as soon as you've taken off, it's exactly like a fixed-wing aircraft."
The X3 is one of the fastest rotorcraft in the world, having achieved a cruising speed of 232 knots (430 km/h or 267 mph) during a test flight on 18 May.
Though not quite as fast as US rival Sikorsky's equally futuristic-looking but differently designed X2, which achieved a true air speed of 250 knots last September, the X3 has nevertheless made the prospect of ultra-fast helicopters going on sale within years much more likely.
Consequently, both helicopter companies describe their innovations as "potential game changers".
"The aerospace industry today has a new horizon," according to Sikorsky's president Jeffrey Pino. Eurocopter's chief executive Lutz Bertling says "it will be a totally different way of flying".
For the pilot and for passengers, the difference lies in the "very different sensation from flying this when compared with an ordinary helicopter", according to experimental test pilot Herve Jammayroc. "In the X3 we accelerate and decelerate horizontally."
And although the X3 is perhaps a more complex machine to build, "it is easier to fly than a conventional helicopter", Mr Jammayroc says.
For Eurocopter's customers, it is all about balancing costs with how quickly and how far the aircraft can travel.
Hence, although the X3 is at least 50% faster than conventional helicopters, "the key message is not speed", according to chief executive Mr Bertling.
"The key message is productivity," he says, insisting that the X3's greater size makes it a more versatile rotorcraft than Sikorsky's X2.
"We are not selling helicopters, we are selling mission capability," Mr Bertling says.
"If you can do it with a balloon or a fixed wing or a bicycle, you don't buy an expensive helicopter."
Eurocopter's aim is to deliver an aircraft that increases cruising speeds by 50%, while limiting any resulting increase in costs to 25%.
"The target is a productive aircraft," Mr Bertling says.
"So 210-220-230 knots for us is quite reasonable. And 270-280 knots may be conceivable, but fuel costs get too high."
With the X3, the required technology is pretty much there, according to Eurocopter's chief technology officer Jean-Michel Billig, who is in charge of research and development.
"Today, we believe it should cost in the region of 20% more than a similar size helicopter in terms of cost of ownership," he says.
The X3 forms part of a broader restructuring of Eurocopter, which includes plans to replace its entire current offering of six different helicopter models.
"We have a road map to renew our current product family over the next 10 years," says Mr Billig.
A helicopter programme costs about 1bn euros ($1.4bn; ??876m) per year and typically lasts for about six years, so it is a costly exercise.
The company is also working on more fuel-efficient models, such as helicopters powered by diesel-electric hybrid engines, or unmanned or optionally manned helicopters, even full-sized ones that carry passengers.
Improving safety, both in terms of reliable systems and crew awareness, and to reduce operating and maintenance costs, are also central tasks.
Some replacement models might be similar to X3, says Mr Billig. "We are assessing the performance of X3 and we will apply it to helicopters where it makes sense," he says.
But his boss, Mr Bertling, adds there will still be a buoyant market for conventional helicopters. "For example, one of the great growth areas is servicing wind parks offshore, and here high speed doesn't make sense," he says.
Typically, the faster an aircraft moves horizontally, the less able it is at vertical take-offs and landings, so any aircraft that tries to be both helicopter and plane will be a compromise that is neither fish nor fowl in some situations.
Hence, rather than compete with fixed-wing planes or even with conventional helicopters, which will continue to serve growing markets in Asia, Latin America and the US, as well as here in Europe, the X3 and other helicraft of its ilk are carving out new niches in the aviation market.
Such aircraft could be used on new routes between city centres, such as between London and Brussels, or even within mega-cities, such as Mumbai, where vertical take-off and landing would save time by not having to travel to and from airports.
Other customers, such as the oil and gas industry, could speed up air shuttles to and from the rigs, thus enabling crews and experts to spend more time actually working.
Such customers would be particularly sensitive to the cost of the helicraft, Mr Bertling observes.
Whereas for others, such as search-and-rescue or military customers, it is "less a question of money and more about mission success".
That does not make it a licence to print money, however.
"Operating with high margins in military areas - outside the US, I have to say - is not that easy in the current climate," Mr Bertling observes.
This year's Paris Air Show will take place at Le Bourget exhibition centre on the outskirts of Paris from 20 to 26 June 2011.
The man, who has not been named, endured a 3,000-mile (4,800km) journey through the rough seas of the Southern Ocean on board an icebreaker vessel.
He was cared for on board by the ship's doctor who was in constant contact with experts in Australia.
Doctors in Hobart said he remained in a serious but stable condition.
His condition has not been made public but was not the result of an accident.
The patient, who was a member of a trade team, had been at the remote Davis Station since November.
He fell ill in March days after the icebreaker Aurora Australis had left following a resupply mission.
The ship was called back, battling heavy ice, but then had to wait offshore for a break in the snow to allow a helicopter to transfer him to the ship.
"Once we had the patient aboard it took us a couple of days to slowly break through the sea ice near Davis before finally making it out into the open Southern Ocean," voyage leader Andy Cianchi said in a statement from the Australian Antarctic Division.
"The passage back was quite rough at times with wind gusts up to 60 knots [70 miles], and a 6-7m swell causing the vessel to roll heavily," he added.
Dr Jeff Ayton, the chief medical officer of the Antarctic Division, said caring for the patient on board had been a challenge as the ship was "a constant moving platform".
He said the medical teams had been "truly amazing", keeping the man "as safe and comfortable as possible".
"He will require ongoing medical treatment, but we are very pleased he has travelled well over the past couple of weeks and his condition has not deteriorated," Dr Ayton said.
Davis is a permanent Australian scientific research base. It is home to about 120 people during the southern summer and 18 in the winter.
The statement said the Aurora Australis would now be restocked before heading out to the tiny Macquarie Island base, 930 miles southeast of Tasmania.
Etzebeth has not recovered from concussion suffered in the 37-21 loss against England on 12 November and will return to South Africa.
He missed the 20-18 defeat by Italy in Florence on Saturday.
"We won't call up a replacement because we currently have sufficient cover in that position," explained Springbok coach Allister Coetzee.
South Africa have locks Pieter-Steph du Toit, Lood de Jager and Franco Mostert in their squad, with Coetzee adding: "There are also some utility forwards who can provide extra cover if needed."
Wales are attempting to win three autumn internationals for the first time since 2002 after narrow wins over Argentina and Japan.
However, the nature of those wins and the 32-8 hammering by Australia have drawn criticism in Wales.
South Africa's loss in Florence was their first ever against Italy and led to Coetzee and captain Adriaan Strauss issuing an apology and SA Rugby president Mark Alexander announcing a review of the Springboks.
Wales have beaten South Africa only twice in 31 matches stretching back to 1906.
Stefan Marsh gave the Vikings a perfect start by scoring inside two minutes following a Warrington error.
Wolves hit back with tries from Tom Lineham, Jack Hughes and Joe Philbin, and Declan Patton's drop-goal, to lead 17-4 at half-time.
Charly Runciman pulled one back, but Patton's late penalty made it three games unbeaten for Tony Smith's side.
Last season's beaten Grand Finalists started the campaign with six straight defeats but, after drawing with Hull FC, Warrington have followed that up with victory over Leeds and this derby win.
Widnes, meanwhile, remain bottom of the table after collecting only three points from their opening nine games.
Denis Betts' side could not have asked for a better start, though, as Warrington turned over the ball 30 metres from their own line and Widnes spread it wide for Marsh to score in the corner.
But Wolves went on dominate the rest of the first half as Stefan Ratchford created an opening for Lineham before Hughes powered over from close range.
The video referee then ruled that Philbin's score caught the line as he grounded the ball moments after disallowing a Ryan Atkins effort for a double movement, and Patton's drop-goal meant the hosts had to score three times.
They did reduce the arrears when Runciman got on the end of Rhys Hanbury's grubber kick but Patton's 77th-minute penalty put the result beyond doubt.
Widnes head coach Denis Betts: "I've seen some things to say that we've got some wins in us.
"Confidence wise, you live off it and you die in fear. We are dying in fear at the moment. In the second half we showed some positives, though.
"It was a messy game. I was disappointed with a few calls but we are not getting the rub of the green.
"There's things not going our way, but overall we need to stick to it. I wasn't sure what some of the penalties were for."
Warrington boss Tony Smith: "That was a real gutsy one and I thought we handled the pressure well.
"I'm not only missing a few players, but we ended up losing a couple on the field as well. Matty Russell and Ryan Atkins left the field and are both out for Monday's game.
"We are down on troops but the good news story is the young blokes who came in did a good job.
"Philbin was terrific and some of our young forwards did a good job for us. Julien, for him to come in without much game time and play the way he did was really good. George King also came in and did a great job.
"Some will say this was an ugly win but to me the defensive side of it was beautiful. The players really dug in for one another."
Widnes: Hanbury, Armstrong, Bridge, Runciman, Marsh, Mellor, Craven, Dudson, Johnstone, J. Chapelhow, Houston, Whitley, Brooks.
Replacements: Dean, Gerrard, Olbison, Burke.
Warrington: Ratchford, Russell, T. King, Atkins, Lineham, Patton, Gidley, Hill, Dwyer, Sims, Jullien, Hughes, G. King.
Replacements: Evans, Savelio, Philbin, Livett.
Referee: Phil Bentham (RFL)
Audiences at 11 cinemas watched Macbeth live from Caerphilly Castle on Tuesday.
Repeat screenings with English subtitles will be shown until April.
The broadcast is aimed at reaching audiences who could not travel to Caerphilly, while the company hopes subtitled repeats will attract those who do not speak Welsh.
Richard Lynch and Ffion Dafis star in the adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most famous plays.
The translation was completed by the former national poet of Wales, Gwyn Thomas, before his death last year.
Arwel Gruffydd, the director of Macbeth and artistic director of Theatr Genedlaethol, said the company had to experiment to reach a wider audience.
"As a national company it's important that we are innovative, and that we trial new ventures," he said.
"Perhaps other companies in future will benefit from this, and we will be happy to share our experiences of producing a live broadcast."
The play takes place in the rooms of Caerphilly Castle, with about 100 audience members each night. It opened on 7 February and has already sold out.
According to Mr Gruffydd, the cinema broadcasts open doors to a new audience.
"Not everyone can come to Caerphilly, and not everyone can visit ancient castles because of accessibility issues and so on.
"With the repeat broadcasts, it was important that we could offer this production to non-Welsh speakers, so there will be subtitles on the repeats at every cinema."

The production has been generally well received.
"Casting Ffion Dafis as Lady Macbeth was a clever move," according to reviewer Sioned Williams in her report for Radio Cymru, while critic Lowri Haf Cooke said the translated production was a "fitting tribute to the late Gwyn Thomas" with Richard Lynch as Macbeth "shining in front of the crowd".
Lynch is back in his hometown to perform the part of Macbeth, and said it was a play that would strike a chord with contemporary audiences.
"Thematically, it's about power. And it's about the desire for power, that's as relevant today as it was 500 years ago and it will be relevant in future.
"That's the genius of Shakespeare, he writes relevant, modern plays."
But he said he was "not worried" about scaremongering accusations.
And he predicted Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn - criticised for not taking a more prominent role so far - would be involved in "major events" to come.
Anti-EU minister Chris Grayling, meanwhile, criticised "over-the-top claims" about the dangers of leaving.
In a speech in Brussels, the House of Commons leader dismissed claims the UK could no longer trade with the EU if it left.
"Millions of jobs around the EU depend on selling goods and products to UK consumers," he said.
Voters go to the polls on June 23 to decide whether the UK will remain a member of the EU.
EU exit supporters have labelled the Remain campaign "project fear" after repeated warnings over jobs and investment.
But Mr Johnson, in an interview with The House magazine, said: "The fact is that if you're asking British people to wrench themselves away from Europe after 41 years, you're entitled just to point out the risks and dangers."
The former home secretary said he was confident of his side's arguments but added: "Whether we can row back against a deluge of anti-European nonsense that's come day after day, that's what worries me.
"We can't find the simple phrases. I have faith in the British people that they're going to be looking for more than soundbites and a bit of patriotic posturing."
He also said former prime minister Gordon Brown would make a "major intervention" in the EU debate, and on Mr Corbyn's role, added: "We don't want to fire all of our ammunition too early in this."
Her boss said she was an "example to us all" by telling colleagues she was taking sick leave for her mental health - but would British managers be similarly supportive?
In an email titled "Where's Madalyn", she told colleagues: "I'm taking today and tomorrow to focus on my mental health. Hopefully I'll be back next week refreshed and back to 100%".
Chief executive Ben Congleton replied to the message, saying: "I can't believe this is not standard practice at all organisations," adding: "You are an example to us all, and help cut through the stigma so we can all bring our whole selves to work."
In the UK, there is no legal difference between taking a mental health sick day and a day off for a physical problem like a back problem.
Last year, Britons took 137 million sick days. Of these, 15.8 million days were for a stated mental health issue - whether that is stress, depression, anxiety or a more serious condition such as manic depression and schizophrenia - according to Office for National Statistics Labour Force Survey statistics.
By contrast, 34 million days were "lost" to minor illnesses, like coughs and colds.
But Madeleine McGivern, head of workplace wellbeing at charity Mind, says "people are still wary" of admitting their sick day is actually due to mental health.
"There is definitely a fear it will affect your career, or that people will judge you and make assumptions that aren't fair or true," she says.
"If you're not in a supportive environment, if you do disclose a mental health problem it can be really harmful to you."
Despite the stigma, she says employers are legally required to protect the health and safety of those at work - and this includes mental health problem if it affects a person's day-to-day life.
"If you are unwell for any reason, you should be able to work in a place where you feel you can say 'I'm unwell today because I've got an inflamed back' or 'I've got really high feelings of anxiety at the moment' - they're actually the same thing," she says.
Lisa, a 42-year-old manager, contacted the BBC to say she felt pressured to "put on a brave face" and go to work while dealing with depression.
"I've been working in the public sector for over 20 years and have twice had short periods off work through mental health issues," she says.
She says she feared being stigmatised as "flaky" if she took time off.
"The need to 'put on a brave face' was overwhelming and in the end too much for me," she says.
"I was prescribed anti-depressants and stayed off work for a few weeks. Even when I returned I wasn't supported and felt further ostracised."
Lisa says her career had "until now been the defining passion in my life", adding: "As a previously high-performing individual the treatment I received felt like a bereavement."
Six months ago, she took time off after dealing with ageing parents and her moving house.
"I took just a few days off work to 'sort myself out', seeing the GP, finding a counsellor and starting an exercise and diet regime."
Now, she says "I am still battling on" but that there are still days when she feels her workplace does not care about her as an individual.
"It makes me wonder how other people are coping and what is going on under the surface of a lot of other 'brave faces'," she says.
Large companies are keen to say they are supporting staff and tackling stigma around mental health.
Over the past six years, almost 500 companies - including Tesco, Unilever and M&S - have made a pledge known as "Time to Change", where they commit to tackling problems like anxiety and depression in the workplace.
It involves training managers to spot the signs of mental illness among their workers and raise awareness.
"When you look at the reality of the situation, mental health isn't being addressed properly," says Sam Gurney, head of equality and strategy at the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
Research by the TUC shows just one in four people who have suffered from a mental illness or phobia for one year are in work.
"People can be terrified of saying they have some kind of issue," Sam says.
"If you're on a zero-hours contract, you're far less likely to go to your boss and say 'I've got these issues' because they're going to see that person as a problem."
Many workplace unions encourage employers to have a sickness procedure that covers issues such as anxiety - and to tackle the root cause of mental issues, for example by training employees to also act as mentors.
In light of more professional footballers seeking help for mental health problems, including Everton's Aaron Lennon, the Professional Footballers' Association runs a 24-hour helpline and says it is telling players it is "OK to talk".
Police, fire, ambulance and search-and-rescue teams in England and Wales are unusual in that workers receive government-funded mental health support.
Through a £1.5m grant, Mind provides emergency staff and volunteers with access to help under a project known as Blue Light.
Ms McGivern says the charity also offers legal advice to anyone feeling forced out at work, adding: "There's something to be said about the way we look for work.
"The power's with the employee to choose where to work and ask - are they going to work with me or break me into a million pieces?" she says.
A child born with the condition needs the right treatment - gently realigning the foot - to ensure they grow up being able to walk properly.
It is treatable, for those babies born in developed countries. But up to 80% of those with clubfoot in developing countries go untreated.
Now a charity has developed a low-cost canvas brace for children to wear as part of their treatment - which is being tested for use in India, where around a quarter of the 200,000 children with clubfoot live.
Pradeep Das, now four years old, was born with clubfoot and currently has to wear a brace for around 16 hours a night.
His father, Ranjeet, suffers from the same condition but was never treated.
"We realised Pradeep's feet pointed the wrong way when he was 10-months-old," said Ranjeet.
"What could I do? I was worried because I am already living with this."
"So I took him to Wadia hospital and the doctor there said he'll be corrected."
Ranjeet works in construction and like many in Mumbai, his family moves around the unfinished buildings he works on. The buildings are often crowded, dusty, badly ventilated and have few basic amenities.
"It's a long time to wear the brace but what can I do?" said Pradeep's mother, Sunita.
"It hurts him and he cries but I can't do anything. If it makes him better then he has to tolerate it and so do I.
"If this allows him to live life like a normal person then we'll do it."
Clubfoot affects around 200,000 babies every year.
It results from the abnormal development of muscles, tendons and bones in the foot during pregnancy which makes the foot twist downwards and inwards, making it difficult to walk.
The main way of treating the condition across the world is the Ponseti method.
Pioneered by Spanish physician Dr Ignacio Ponseti, it involves correcting the feet by gently stretching the tendons and ligaments in the foot so they assume the right position with a series of braces and plaster casts.
Treatment ideally starts in the first few weeks of life.
Once a child has received the initial treatment, they must wear a foot brace for between 16 and 23 hours a day for four to five years, to prevent the feet from turning back in.
Just like the braces used for teeth, the foot eventually assumes a new, straightened position.
And unlike surgery, which can in some cases lead to pain and problems in later life, the Ponseti method has been shown to correct the foot in such a way that patients lead completely normal lives.
India has the highest incidence of clubfoot worldwide, with between 40,000 and 50,000 children born with the condition each year, so the brace is being tested there.
It is there that the Miraclefeet charity is about to trial a low-cost easier-to-wear brace for children to wear as part of their treatment.
Designed by a group made up of Clarks Shoes, Stanford Design School and Suncast, a US plastics company it costs less than $20 (£12.80), around the same as the brace most commonly used at the moment, the Steenbeck, costs.
The Miraclefeet brace is made of canvas, rather than leather, so is lighter to wear in hot climates. It is also padded and clips on in two separate places and it is hoped parents will see it as more "user friendly".
As well as the trials in India, over the next few months the Miraclefeet will deliver braces to clinics in the Philippines, Liberia, Nicaragua, Mexico, South Africa, Ecuador and Brazil.
"Our goal is to make sure that no person is living with clubfoot," said Leslie Lloyd, Program Associate of the charity Miraclefeet.
"We want all children to get treatment as soon as they're born and we want to see neglected clubfoot completely eradicated from the world."
The lack of high quality, low cost braces has been a major hurdle to expanding clubfoot programs around the world, according to campaigners.
"Correcting something is one part of the job," said orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Rujuta Mehta at the Wadia Children's hospital in Mumbai, who is treating Pradeep.
"But maintaining and making sure there is no recurrence or relapse as the child grows is equally important."
India currently uses the Steenbeek brace, comprising two leather shoes connected by a steel rod. Produced locally, it costs around $10 (£6.30) but it has significant limitations.
The leather shoes cause irritation and skin rashes in hot climates.
Additionally, the brace can easily be bent out of shape and it is difficult to wear.
"The conventional brace is all one piece, so it's very difficult to get a crying, howling, non-cooperative child to wear both the feet at the same time," said Dr Mehta.
Ranjeet struggled through life with his disability. But he hopes that with the help of Dr Mehta - and the Miraclefeet brace - his son Pradeep can have a better chance of succeeding in life.
"I have suffered a lot in my life," said Ranjeet. "Now that my son's condition is improving, I'm very happy."
The 29-year-old former Aldershot player scored 10 league goals for Torquay last season but was not offered a new deal by the Devon side.
Bromley will become Williams' fourth permanent club since leaving the Shots in June 2015.
"I think myself and Bromley will do well for each other. I want to get back to 20-plus goals a season," he said.

Established by Big Brother creator John de Mol, Talpa Media is the company behind shows such as The Voice, I Love My Country and Dating In The Dark.
Talpa Media focuses on developing new formats that draw in big audiences.
It has created 75 shows over the past six years. The Voice first aired in Denmark and has been broadcast in 180 nations including in the UK on the BBC.
Talpa reported revenues of €233m (£165m) and a €61m pretax profit for 2014, better than some analysts had expected.
Along with revenue from producing TV programmes, Talpa holds the intellectual property rights to its shows, which offers another source of income.
Mr de Mol and Talpa's other senior managers will continue to work exclusively for Talpa after the acquisition.
ITV will increase its payment for Talpa up to €1.1bn - if the company delivers strong profits over the next eight years and Mr de Mol stays with the company.
ITV, which has been increasing its presence in TV production to reduce its reliance on volatile advertising, expects to close the deal in the second quarter of the year.
"This is a great opportunity for ITV to accelerate its progress in building a global content business of scale," said ITV's chief executive Adam Crozier.
Commenting on the acquisition, Mr de Mol said: "It enables me personally to concentrate and focus even more on creating new, groundbreaking content."
ITV is increasingly focusing on its overseas business. The Talpa acquisition "is expected to accelerate ITV Studios' growth internationally," said ITV in a statement.
ITV bought US TV companies Leftfield Entertainment and DiGa Vision in 2014. The move resulted in its international business accounting for nearly half of its total revenue last year.
"ITV has been acquiring content for a number of years and they haven't ruled out more," said Ian Whittaker, head of European media research at Liberum Capital.
"I wouldn't expect them to do this every year - or even every other year - but ITV has very strong cash flows."
In early trade in London on Thursday, ITV's shares were up 2.74% to 251.4p apiece.
Three apologised for the issue, which had lasted since yesterday.
On Twitter, several customers complained about problems they had experienced.
"The issue with our roaming partners which was affecting roaming service in France, Portugal and Luxembourg has now been fixed," said Three in a statement.
"We apologise for any inconvenience."
One customer wrote online: "I'm travelling alone and can't make any calls or send any texts."
Another said: "I'm driving to Paris tomorrow, and I've got to follow road signs because I have no connection for my Google Maps."
BBC journalist Dougal Shaw - on holiday in France - also said on Twitter that he had been affected.
"I got lost in a market," he wrote.
Damage was caused to a door and window of the property during the incident in the Clon Elagh area at about 03:30 BST on Sunday.
Police have appealed for information about the shooting.
They want to hear from anyone who saw a number of men in a vehicle that sped away from the house in the direction of Skeoge Road.
Deposits stood at €139.4bn (£100bn) in April, a 3.9% decline on the previous month, according to the European Central Bank.
The data include all deposits by households and companies in Greece.
Its banks have struggled to hold on to deposits during the debt negotiations.
Greece's falling reserves have prompted calls for capital controls from some experts and an opposition MP.
However, government spokesman Gabriel Sakellaridis on Monday rejected the idea.
The Greek government, European Union (EU) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been locked in negotiations for four months over economic reforms the IMF and EU say must be implemented before the latest €7.2bn tranche of the country's bailout fund is released.
Greece has to make a payment of €1.5bn (£1.09bn) to the IMF on 5 June.
Mr Sakellaridis said that Greece would maintain repayments to its EU-IMF creditors for as long as possible.
Nevertheless, if Greece fails to come to a deal with its eurozone partners there is a real chance it could default on its loans.
That could push the Greek government towards leaving the single currency, otherwise known as "Grexit".
In an interview with a German newspaper on Thursday, IMF chief Christine Lagarde is quoted as saying that "a Greek exit is a possibility".
David Hughes of the Park View Educational Trust said Muslims in Birmingham felt "betrayed" by critical inspection reports.
He made the comments in an open letter to Education Secretary Michael Gove and Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw.
The Department for Education (DfE) said it "was right" to investigate.
Park View was told the government intends to terminate its funding agreement after Ofsted found schools did not do enough to protect children from extremism.
In the letter Mr Hughes describes himself as a "white, practising Anglican Christian" and denies there was a plot to "Islamise" Park View, Nansen Primary and Golden Hillock schools or promote extremism.
He notes that Ofsted inspectors - which rated the schools "inadequate" - found no evidence of such a plot.
Another inspection into the trust by the Education Funding Agency was "woefully shoddy" and "fatally flawed", Mr Hughes adds.
Mr Hughes said the trust was "shocked and saddened" at the suggestion "abominable practices like female genital mutilation and the treatment of women as second-class citizens are not robustly countered at Park View".
He goes on to say the Trojan Horse scandal had created "very angry communities now who feel frightened, betrayed and let down by the way you have exploited the Trojan Horse hoax and demonised them".
"You have my best wishes in dealing with what has been unleashed," he adds.
A DfE spokesman said the department would be "failing in our duty if we ignored the evidence arising from these investigations and did not intervene".
"Every school must offer a broad and balanced curriculum and ensure they are welcoming and inclusive to students of all faith and none."
Representatives of Sophia Murray also complained of harassment when her mother took her to Wimbledon in June.
The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) rejected complaints against the Daily Mail, Mail Online, The Sun and Telegraph.
The publications argued there was no reasonable expectation of privacy at such a high profile event.
The Mail Online article reported on Kim Murray taking four-month-old Sophia to the Wimbledon tennis tournament for the first time.
It was accompanied by images of the child being pushed in her pram by her mother.
In two of these images the top of her head was visible, while in two other pictures her foot was visible.
The complaint said taking photographs of Sophia without the consent of her parents was a breach of her privacy, and publication was likely to cause harm and distress.
It also alleged that Mrs Murray and Sophia had been jostled as they left Wimbledon that day.
Mail Online, however, argued that Mrs Murray and her child did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy at Wimbledon, which is a high-profile public event.
It said she entered via Gate 16, which is an entrance used by the media, where press are routinely situated and that the photographer was standing approximately 50m from the gate when the photographs were taken..
In its ruling the IPSO code committee said it did not consider the child to be recognisable from the photographs and that they did not disclose any private information about her.
It said: "The complainant was being taken by her mother through a press entrance to Wimbledon; a major sporting event where there would inevitably be a very large number of spectators, and photographers.
"While the gate used by the complainant was not a ticket-holders' entrance, it was accepted that it was a public location, and it appeared that photographers were allowed to stand in a position overlooking the gate."
The complaints against the other publications were similarly rejected by IPSO.
So dolphins have developed elaborate behaviours to turn larger prey into more bite-size pieces, according to marine biologists in Australia.
The researchers filmed dolphins shaking octopuses and tossing them through air in preparation for consumption.
The findings, compiling years of observations, have been described in the journal Marine Mammal Science.
"Everyone relates it to seafood preparation," lead author Dr Kate Sprogis told the BBC.
"They've got skills to prepare their meal."
The authors said the technique is one way dolphins have managed to thrive in waters around Australia.
"They bite off the head first then they shake and toss the rest of the body," Dr Sprogis said.
"They have to do this because they are such large octopus they can't just swallow them in one piece."
The technique also prevents octopus tentacles from latching on to dolphins, she said.
The study involved researchers from Murdoch University and Monash University.
The Ibrox men finished the campaign third in the Premiership, 39 points behind champions Celtic and nine behind second-placed Aberdeen.
But ahead of his first transfer window as Ranger boss, Caixinha has assured supporters of a brighter future.
"We're going to have a competitive, strong team that will please our fans and the history of this club," he said.
"The team will be something different next season, definitely.
"We have four competitions to fight for and we will see (if we are celebrating with silverware at the end of next season). The first rule is to build a squad, the second step is to create a winning mentality and the third is to put it into practice in the games."
Rangers finished their campaign with a 2-1 win at St Johnstone courtesy of goals from Kenny Miller and Jon Toral.
Caixinha refused to be drawn on his summer transfer targets but said he has been working towards the summer recruitment drive since taking over in March following a stint in Qatar with Al-Gharafa.
"We've been working in that direction since we arrived," he said. "We hope to have the job done as soon as possible.
"I'm definitely glad to have had an overview in the last two months. One of the main reasons we came to the club early from Qatar and why Rangers had to pay for us to come was to assess and make decisions.
"That was really important. If we could not have arrived two months ago and would only have arrived at the end of the season it could have been different, but now we have made decisions and we are working on the next steps - we're just waiting on it."
Caixinha spent time with the Rangers fans after Sunday's win in Perth and revealed his determination to give them something to smile about next season.
"I'm a guy of the people, I like to enjoy these times with fans," said the Portuguese, who also confirmed defender Danny Wilson is starting a 10-week recovery period from a knee injury.
"For sure I hope there will be more success for them in future. We work for the supporters. We have the best fans in the world.
"We love to make them happy and we want to share that happiness with them."
A skull appeared on computer screens along with a message threatening to release data "secrets" if undisclosed demands were not met, reports said.
The message showed "#GOP" indicating a group called Guardians of Peace was behind the attack.
Sony has issued a statement saying the firm is investigating the "IT matter".
The tech firm has reportedly shut down its computer network as a precaution and advised employees that resolving the situation could take anywhere from one day to three weeks.
Meanwhile, an anonymous user on the Reddit news website posted an image allegedly from a Sony computer screen, which said "Warning: We've already warned you, and this is just the beginning… We have obtained all your internal data including secrets and top secrets".
News of the online attack comes just months after Sony's Playstation network was forced offline by a cyber attack in August.
Wee Teck Loo, head of consumer electronics research at Euromonitor said any negative news for Sony just "piles" pressure on the company that has been struggling financially in both its TV and mobile business.
"Three years ago, the hack on PlayStation network was massive, expensive and absolutely embarrassing. This time round, I don't believe that there will be massive damage, save for Sony's ego, even if the hack is real," Mr Loo said.
Charles Lim, senior industry analyst at ICT, Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific, however, said the attack has put into question what "multi-layers of prevention" Sony has to detect and handle such risks.
"In this breach, GOP claimed to have accessed private keys, source codes, password files and even their production schedule and notes, and that will raise questions," Mr Lim said.
High profile companies like Sony can be targeted and hacked every day, according to Naveen Menon, partner at consulting firm AT Kearney.
In its latest research, the firm said that experts estimate that at least 25% of all companies have already suffered financial loss through some form of cyber attack.
Sony is understandably keen to downplay this latest hacking threat. "We are investigating the matter" is the kind of benign language more commonly used for routine technological issues, not chilling messages threatening to unleash reams of data to the world.
The demands are opaque so it is unclear how damage could be wrought should Sony fail to resolve the situation before the deadline. Sony Pictures has at least reclaimed its compromised Twitter accounts.
Nevertheless, this internal corporate attack does not yet appear to be of the magnitude of previous public breaches that Sony has suffered.
But the fact that hackers have again apparently infiltrated Sony's systems will do nothing to restore public faith that the Japanese technology giant has its security affairs in order.
And it is somewhat ironic that Sony has only just dismissed the allegation made by hackers that they had succeeded in breaching the Playstation network earlier this year. This latest attack cannot be so easily dismissed.
The 500-year-old Magnus building in Newark, Nottinghamshire, is being converted into a museum as part of a £5.4m project.
It survived three sieges in the English Civil War, during which nearly a fifth of the town's buildings were destroyed.
Experts said they had begun to uncover original roof beams which may bear scorch marks and shell splinters.
Between 1642 and 1646 England was torn apart by a bloody civil war.
It was fought between the Roundheads, supporters of Parliament, and the Cavaliers, those who backed King Charles I.
Parliament's New Model Army defeated the Royalists at Naseby and, sensing defeat was inevitable, Charles gave himself up to a Scottish army at Southwell, in Nottinghamshire.
But they handed him over to the English and, after a second uprising, he was executed in 1649.
BBC History: Choosing sides in the Civil War
The building's Royalist garrison finally surrendered in 1646.
Jane Roylance, a historic buildings architect said: "Some of [the roof structure] survived miraculously; other bits have failed spectacularly so we are at a point where we need to go through it and actually decide what repairs are needed."
It is hoped the Heritage Lottery-backed museum will open in spring next year, detailing the 17th Century conflict which deposed King Charles I.
As well as the Civil War displays, there will be galleries focussing on the local history of Nottinghamshire.
The Newark Torc, an Iron Age necklace found near the town, will also be displayed.
It will be the first time the item is displayed in the district after being loaned to the British Museum.
Officials estimate the centre could bring £1.3m into the local economy a year.
Michael Constantine, from the National Civil War Centre, said: "We've got some great interactive displays, arms and armour and all the weaponry from the Civil War and we've got some really gory stuff for the kids."
"Now we are taking a close look at the beams to see how they have survived 500 years of wear and tear and of course the Civil War.
"We are looking for bits of shrapnel and musket balls which might have gone in them."
About 336 people who currently use the service could instead be made to pay for the meals themselves.
Other options being considered include increasing the price of the service or delivering frozen meals in bulk instead.
A report to councillors said the service had made a financial loss in recent years which must be addressed.
The proposals are part of the council's bid to save of £6.5m for the 2015/16 financial year.
It comes after local government minister Lesley Griffiths announced last month that authorities across Wales should prepare for funding cuts of up to 4.5% next year.
The authority said ending its Meals Direct service would result in staff redundancies or redeployments.
If that option was agreed, the council said it would investigate if cafes and pubs could take over the service - but said users would need to pay for it themselves.
Issuing frozen meals could help reduce costs because fewer deliveries would be made, but some people with greater care needs would still need help to cook the meals, the report said.
Another option being considered is charging more for the service in a move which could see prices rise from £2.60 to between £3.10 and £5.10, in line with other authorities.
Alternatively, the council could continue to provide the service, but the report warned it had lost money in the past few years and it needed to bridge the funding gap.
Meals are currently provided to residents in their own homes following a social services needs assessment.
Some people who receive them also receive extra care, including help to cook their food.
The report said seven other councils were also considering scrapping meals on wheels services.
Caerphilly council's heath social care and wellbeing committee will discuss the proposal at a meeting on Thursday.
This case was "rapidly detected" after the death of the animal in Westbury last week. The cow has been incinerated and movement restrictions are in place.
Public Health England said any risk of infection to those who were in close contact with the animal was "very low".
Anthrax is a bacterial disease which primarily affects grazing animals, although all mammals are susceptible.
James Gallagher, BBC Health and Science reporter
Many people will be familiar with anthrax for its potential as a biological weapon, however, it is an extremely rare infection in Western Europe.
Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis and can be deadly but it struggles to spread from one animal to another or between people.
It largely survives as spores that hide away in soil for years before entering an animal through a cut or wound.
There is a potential risk from eating contaminated meat, however, the infected cow's remains have been destroyed.
Traditionally the people most at risk have been those who handle dead animals, such as abattoir workers.
Anthrax can be treated with antibiotics but treatment needs to start soon after infection.
Human cases of anthrax are very rare - the last case occurred in 2008.
Mike Wade, deputy director of health protection for Public Health England South West, said advice had been offered to any potential contacts.
Wiltshire Council's director of public health Maggie Rae said none of the people who had been in contact with the animal had showed any signs of illness more than 72 hours afterwards.
The farm where the animal tested positive for the disease last had an instance of anthrax in a cow 20 years ago Mrs Rae said.
A footpath near the farm has been closed for more than 72 hours as a precaution, she added.
British Veterinary Association President Sean Wensley said: "This is a case in point about why surveillance is so important; local vets working as part of the broader surveillance network, detecting individual cases for immediate action to isolate and contain them."
Analysis of survival rates for six common cancers found wide variations depending on where patients lived.
Macmillan Cancer Support said there needed to be a major step-up in cancer screening in deprived areas.
The Scottish government said it recognised the need to tackle such variations.
The charity used data from the Information Services Division, part of NHS Scotland which specialises in health statistics.
The analysis examined the survival rate of patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2008 and followed them for five years up to 2013, to reveal the increased risk of death for patients living in deprived areas, compared with affluent areas:
Lung cancer patients faced poor outcomes regardless of their socioeconomic status, the charity found.
The study found lower rates of screening uptake and lower rates of treatment in deprived communities, while surgery was found to have had the most influence on survival.
This suggested those from deprived communities were less likely to receive surgery, possibly because of having more advanced cancer or poorer overall health, the charity said.
Janice Preston, head of Macmillan in Scotland, said: "It's completely unacceptable that someone's chances of surviving cancer could be predicted by their postcode.
"This new research gives us an up-to-date and in-depth understanding of the scale of the cancer survival gap in Scotland.
"It also provides the most comprehensive ever look at the reasons behind it. While the sheer number of factors that impact on survival means there is no magic bullet to solving this problem, this research points to clear areas for improvements, including encouraging earlier diagnosis and the take-up of screening in deprived areas."
Professor Jason Leitch, the Scottish government's national clinical director, told BBC Radio Scotland that he was "not surprised" by the data.
Speaking on Good Morning Scotland, he said people in more deprived areas were less likely to have their cancers detected early. Some would not go to routine screenings while others ignored the symptoms of illness, he added.
The former dentist and oral surgeon said: "I used to see patients with years of ulcers, people who would come in two years after their first symptom. And their cancer would be very advanced.
"Then I would see other people who would come within three weeks of seeing something that was a little bit unexplained and we could always treat that individual quickly and do very well.
"The same thing applies to bowel cancer, to prostate cancer, to lung cancer. So early diagnosis is the key."
Professor Leitch said that, historically, men in industrial areas like Glasgow and Lanarkshire, were reluctant to go to their GP.
But he pointed to the recent success of the Detect Cancer Early programme, which has recruited celebrities including Sir Alex Ferguson and Elaine C Smith to front awareness campaigns.
He added: "There is no question that poverty is one of the contributory factors to early cancer death. And the health service and the social care service is only part of that solution.
"We need solutions around employment, around housing, around education and around criminal justice. So all of that together is how government needs to tackle early cancer death."
Labour's health spokesman Anas Sarwar described the charity's report as "grim and deeply concerning".
He said: "We already know that a person is less likely to get diagnosed and less likely to survive cancer if they come from a poorer background.
"In Scotland, we are seeing the health inequality gap widen not narrow under the SNP government.
"This follows on from official figures which showed that cancer screening rates are going backwards in the poorest communities too."
A spokesman for the Scottish government said that cancer mortality rates had fallen by 11% over the past 10 years but that it recognised the need to tackle variations between least and most deprived communities.
He added: "This is why our cancer strategy, backed by £100m of additional investment, sets out clear actions aimed at reducing health inequalities.
"We're already seeing results, with increased screening participation and earlier diagnosis, however there's much more still to be done.
"Health inequality is closely linked to income inequality, which is why we have made tackling poverty as a priority."
Maria Stubbings, 50, was strangled by Marc Chivers at her home in Chelmsford, Essex, in 2008.
Earlier this year, an inquest ruled she was failed by Essex Police.
Ms Stubbing's son, Bengi, who was 15 when she was killed, said he wanted a public inquiry to "spark more awareness around domestic violence".
A petition set up by domestic violence charity Refuge and the families of victims, including Ms Stubbings, has been signed by almost 50,000 people.
It is calling for a public inquiry into why victims of domestic violence are not getting protection.
Bengi Stubbings said he wanted the issue to be "more in the open".
"I'd like it [the inquiry] to get agencies to connect and come together to protect the public," he told BBC Look East.
In October, the jury at an inquest into Ms Stubbings' death said Essex Police had failed in almost every part of its investigation.
It said the force had made a catalogue of errors, starting in July 2008 when Ms Stubbings first contacted them after being assaulted by Chivers, who had served 15 years in prison in Germany for killing a former girlfriend.
Essex's chief constable, Stephen Kavanagh, admitted the force had failed to protect Ms Stubbings and her son, but said work was being done to make sure her death was not "in vain".
Mr Stubbings said he thought the "culture" around domestic violence "needed to change".
"In society, we're not as aware of what the signs are," he said.
"We all need to help each other to raise awareness about what domestic violence really is."
As the League of Ireland campaign kicks off this Friday night, the Candystripes will have a different manager for the fourth season in a row when they make the short trip to their north west rivals Finn Harps.
Former Kilmarnock boss Kenny Shiels follows Peter Hutton, Roddy Collins and Declan Devine in the managerial hot-seat at Brandywell since 2013.
There was also a caretaker stint in there too when Paul Hegarty steered the club to safety at the end of last season after the Candystripes flirted with relegation for long periods.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Former striker and Brandywell hero Liam Coyle blames the board for a succession of failed appointments.
"Since Stephen Kenny left, it's been a really unsettling period for the club apart from the FAI Cup win under Declan Devine in 2012," says Coyle, who won two league titles with his hometown club.
"For me, the club have made poor appointments and there is no long-term strategy.
"At one stage, they were staring relegation in the face last season - which would have been a disaster - and they really need to get their act together."
Since qualifying for Europe in 2013 - a campaign which bizarrely ended with the sacking of Devine - the club's performances have left them in danger of being cut adrift from the league's leading lights.
Uefa's decision to bump up the rewards for European qualification means the top clubs have more potential than ever before to extend their dominance over the pack and widen the gap between the top and bottom.
Champions Dundalk, Cork City, Shamrock Rovers and St Patrick's Athletic are all threatening to do just that.
Derry's struggles could not be more untimely and Shiels is faced with the immediate task of reversing the club's alarming decline.
Chairman Philip O'Doherty announced recently that season ticket sales are down for the fourth consecutive season.
Shiels will have to use every ounce of his experience as a manager - which has included a League Cup triumph with Kilmarnock in Scotland back in 2012 - if he is to return the Brandywell outfit to its former glory.
"I want to promote an innovative style of football and ensure that the fans are excited about what they have seen in the last match and about what they will see in the next game", said the 59-year-old Magherafelt man when he was appointed back in November.
His ambitions have not been helped by the departure of three key players from last season to rival clubs - Patrick McEleney (Dundalk), Mark Timlin (St Pat's) and Stephen Dooley (Cork City).
Liam Coyle doesn't blame the players for choosing to leave.
"Patrick McEleney has gone to Dundalk because he wants to win league titles and he's not going to do that at Derry in the near future anyhow," said Coyle.
Former Coleraine and Ballymena boss Shiels has also been frustrated in his recruitment drive over the winter months working within budgetary constraints.
Transfer targets Darren Murray and Daniel Hughes opted to remain in the Irish League.
However, the return of striker Rory Patterson may go some way to alleviating their goal scoring problems. Last season, the team netted just 32 times in 33 league games, failing to score in 16 games.
Patterson scored 61 goals in 92 appearances during his first spell at the club which ended in January 2015 before he departed for Australia.
Gareth McGlynn has also returned to the Brandywell while Shiels has added to his squad with two signings from Scotland midfielder Harry Monaghan and striker Jordan Allen.
A continental flavour has also been thrown into the mix with the additions of Danish right-back Niclas Vemmedlund and Cristian Delgado from Spain.
With work on Brandywell Stadium to commence towards the business end of the year, Derry will relocate to either Maginn Park in Buncrana or Institute's Riverside Stadium.
By that stage, they will be hoping for the security of a mid-table position, at least, with a cup run not beyond their capabilities.
One thing is for sure, after several seasons of upheaval, Derry is a club crying out for stability.
Penguin Random House Ireland tweeted: "We regret to announce the death of William Trevor, one of Ireland's greatest writers."
It added: "We extend our deepest condolences to his family."
The writer won the Whitbread Prize in 1994 and has been shortlisted four times for the Man Booker Prize.
Writer Joyce Carol Oates led the tributes to Trevor on Twitter.
"William Trevor, one of the great short story writers. Beautifully composed, lyrical, understated prose," she wrote.
Crime novelist Sarah Hilary : "RIP William Trevor, one of my favourite authors."
Trevor was born in Mitchelstown, County Cork, in the Republic of Ireland on 24 May 1928.
He was educated at St Columba's College and Trinity College in Dublin before working briefly as a teacher, and later as a copywriter in an advertising agency.
Trevor married his college sweetheart Jane in 1952 and went on to dedicate many of his books to her. They had two sons.
His first novel, A Standard of Behaviour, was published in 1958 but he only began to work full-time as a writer in 1965.
He later disowned his first novel and said in later interviews that he considered 1962's The Old Boys to be his debut.
Trevor went on to publish more than 30 novels and short story collections during his career.
He was awarded an honorary CBE in 1977 for his services to literature, and was made a Companion of Literature in 1994. In 2002, he received an honorary knighthood.
The writer's most recent novel, Love and Summer, was published in 2009 and was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
He has also been shortlisted four times for The Story of Lucy Gault, Mrs Eckdorf in O'Neill's Hotel, Reading Turgenev and The Children of Dynmouth.
Fools of Fortune, about a Protestant family attacked by the Black and Tans in the 1920s, was made into a film starring Julie Christie.
Trevor's novel Felicia's Journey, which won him the Whitbread prize, was made into a film of the same name starring Bob Hoskins and Elaine Cassidy in 1999, five years after its publication.
In 2003, he spoke to James Naughtie on BBC Radio 4's Bookclub programme about his short story collection, After Rain.

The UK team was able to scour the blood for signs of cancer while it was just a tiny cluster of cells invisible to X-ray or CT scans.
It should allow doctors to hit the tumour earlier and increase the chances of a cure.
They also have new ideas for drugs after finding how unstable DNA fuels rampant cancer development.
The research project was on lung cancer, but the processes studied are so fundamental that they should apply across all cancer types.
Lung cancer kills more people than any other type of tumour and the point of the study is to track how it can "evolve" into a killer that spreads through the body.
In order to test for cancer coming back, doctors need to know what to look for.
In the trial, funded by Cancer Research UK, samples were taken from the lung tumour when it was removed during surgery.
A team at the Francis Crick Institute, in London, then analysed the tumour's defective DNA to build up a genetic fingerprint of each patient's cancer.
Then blood tests were taken every three months after the surgery to see if tiny traces of cancer DNA re-emerged.
The results, outlined in the journal Nature, showed cancer recurrence could be detected up to a year before any other method available to medicine.
The tumours are thought to have a volume of just 0.3 cubic millimetres when the blood test catches them.
Dr Christopher Abbosh, from the UCL Cancer Institute, said: "We can identify patients to treat even if they have no clinical signs of disease, and also monitor how well therapies are working.
"This represents new hope for combating lung cancer relapse following surgery, which occurs in up to half of all patients."
So far, it has been an early warning system for 13 out of 14 patients whose illness recurred, as well as giving others an all-clear.
In theory, it should be easier to kill the cancer while it is still tiny rather than after it has grown and become visible again.
However, this needs testing.
Prof Charles Swanton, from the Francis Crick Institute, told the BBC: "We can now set up clinical trials to ask the fundamental question - if you treat people's disease when there's no evidence of cancer on a CT scan or a chest X-ray can we increase the cure rate?
"We hope that by treating the disease when there are very few cells in the body that we'll be able to increase the chance of curing a patient."
Janet Maitland, 65, from London, is one of the patients taking part in the trial.
She has watched lung cancer take the life of her husband and was diagnosed herself last year.
She told the BBC: "It was my worst nightmare getting lung cancer, and it was like my worse nightmare came true, so I was devastated and terrified."
But she had the cancer removed and now doctors say she has a 75% chance of being cancer-free in five years.
"It's like going from terror to joy, from thinking that I was never going to get better to feeling like a miracle's been acted," she said.
And taking part in a trial that should improve the chances for patients in the future is a huge comfort for her.
"I feel very privileged," she added.
The blood test is actually the second breakthrough in the massive project to deepen understanding of lung cancer.
A bigger analysis, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed the key factor - genetic instability - that predicted whether the cancer would return.
Multiple samples from 100 patients containing 4.5 trillion base pairs of DNA were analysed.
DNA is packaged up into sets of chromosomes containing thousands of genetic instructions.
The team at the Francis Crick Institute showed tumours with more "chromosomal chaos" - the ability to readily reshuffle large amounts of their DNA to alter thousands of genetic instructions - were those most likely to come back.
Prof Charles Swanton, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "You've got a system in place where a cancer cell can alter its behaviour very rapidly by gaining or losing whole chromosomes or parts of chromosomes.
"It is evolution on steroids."
That allows the tumour to develop resistance to drugs, the ability to hide from the immune system or the skills to move to other tissues in the body.
The first implication of the research is for drug development - by understanding the key role of chromosomal instability, scientists can find ways to stop it.
Prof Swanton told me: "I hope we'll be able to generate new approaches to limit it and bring evolution back from the brink, perhaps reduce the evolutionary capacity of tumours and hopefully stop them adapting.
"It's exciting on multiple levels."
The scientists says they are only scratching the surface of what can be achieved by analysing the DNA of cancers.

The latest attack happened on Thursday evening in Eddystone Road in Crofton Park, south London.
The boy was treated for a knife wound to his back. His injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
Two days ago, another 14-year-old boy was stabbed on his way to school in New Cross, south east London. He was was kept in hospital overnight.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested in connection with the incident and bailed until July.
In another incident, on Tuesday evening a 12-year-old boy was stabbed eight times in a gang-related attack in Hoxton. He remains in hospital in a stable condition.
Shortly before the child was attacked, police had been called to a stabbing nearby following a fight.
A man, 19, was found in Gorsuch Street with stab injuries to his hand and leg in. His injuries were not thought to be serious.
Police said the two stabbings were linked.
Passengers said they had endured limited amounts of food and backed-up toilets during the three nights they spent adrift in the Pacific Ocean.
The Carnival Splendor was 200 miles (310km) from San Diego when the fire broke out in its engine room on Monday.
"I love being back on land," passenger Ken King told the Associated Press.
The 952ft (290m) ship, which is owned by Carnival Cruise Lines, was pulled into San Diego Bay at about 0830 local time (1630 GMT) by six tugboats and escorted by several Coast Guard vessels.
Individuals on the ship and about 100 people onshore cheered loudly as the Carnival Splendor reached land.
By mid-afternoon on Thursday, about 2,500 passengers had disembarked the ship, which a Carnival Cruise Lines official said was better than anticipated.
The evacuation of the passengers and crew was slowed by disabled elevators.
"The staff was excellent. Only a few people on board were rude. The food was horrible. Starting at 5am on Monday, we didn't have toilets for 13 hours," Mr King said.
The cruise line has promised to refund the passengers' fares, reimburse them for their travel costs and give them a voucher for another cruise.
The play is a loose adaptation of Moliere's 17th Century tragi-comedy Don Juan that transports the legendary womaniser to contemporary London.
The production, which Marber will direct, will run at the Wyndham's Theatre from 17 March to 10 June.
The original 2006 production starred Rhys Ifans in the title role and was directed by Michael Grandage.
The play drew a good review from the Telegraph's Charles Spencer, who described it as "savagely funny, disturbingly dark and disgracefully sexy".
Tennant previously performed at the Wyndham's in 2011, playing Benedick in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
He recently played Richard II with the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican, moving to New York with the production earlier this year.
The former Doctor Who actor played another famous womaniser, Casanova, in a 2005 BBC TV series.
Further Don Juan in Soho casting will be announced at a later date.

A coroner said it may never be known what "desperate circumstances" led to "such a callous disposal" of the body of the little girl in Shipley in 2011.
The Bradford inquest heard staff found parts of the baby's body on a conveyor belt at Associated Waste Management.
Coroner Martin Fleming called it a "desperately tragic case".

Speaking at the inquest, Det Supt Nick Wallen, of West Yorkshire Police, said night shift workers made the discovery in May while sorting rubbish brought in from across West Yorkshire.
The search was narrowed down to 36,000 homes where the rubbish could have come from and letters were sent appealing for help.
Mr Wallen said 200 women were interviewed after a media appeal by detectives, but the mother still has not been traced.
The detective said: "This is not an inquiry that will ever be closed - if we ever receive information to suggest who mum may have been we will act on that."
Two pathologists and a further specialist could not ascertain the cause of death, the inquest heard, with a post-mortem examination unable to conclude whether the baby had been born alive.
It did show that she was full-term and had died two to three days before her body was discovered.
Recording an open verdict, Mr Fleming said: "It is never too late to come forward and do the right thing.
"We may never know the desperate circumstances that led to such a callous disposal."
A funeral organised by a local toddler group and staff from the plant was held for the baby more than a year after her body was found.

A newborn baby whose body was found by workers at a waste management plant has not been identified nearly six years on, an inquest has heard.

The body of the 19 tonne mammal was discovered on rocks near Lynmouth on Tuesday with a large chunk missing from a rear fin.
Scientists from the Zoological Society of London have examined the body to try to establish the cause of death.
It said the results of the post mortem on the whale, one of an endangered species, were expected shortly.
A cordon has been set up around the whale, which has begun to decompose, to protect members of the public from infection.
Fin whales are normally found in large numbers in the Bay of Biscay, but a pod of about 20 were sighted in the Celtic Deep, between north Cornwall and south west Pembrokeshire, in May.

The note, featuring a picture of Pudsey Bear raising a Saltire flag, was one of the first polymer notes issued on 17 July 2015.
The Pudsey design was created by Kayla Robson, 12, who won a Bank of Scotland competition in partnership with the BBC's Children in Need charity.
It had been expected to fetch between £1,000 and £1,200.
An anonymous collector bid £15,500 when the note went under the hammer at the Spink's World Banknotes auction in London on Tuesday.
But the actual amount paid rose to £18,600 including buyer's premiums.
Monica Kruber, a specialist in Spink's banknote department, said: "This Pudsey £5 note was designed by a young lady from Dundee.
"We knew it was going to be good but it made a fabulous price. We are delighted, especially as it is for BBC Children in Need.
"It is an extraordinary note, and an extraordinary issue - the first polymer from the Bank of Scotland.
"It has amazing security features. The note itself is very attractive and the colours are amazing -- they are also largely invincible."
The note was one of a limited edition of 50 notes. The serial numbers were unique, with the first 40 using the code PUDSEY01 to PUDSEY40 while the remaining 10 would be personalised to buyers.
Some of the notes were auctioned last year, but the latest sale coincided with the release of the general issue polymer £5 notes, which were made available to the public.
Annette Barnes, Bank of Scotland's retail managing director, said: "This new £5 note is brighter and bolder than most other banknotes in circulation and really brings to life what BBC Children in Need means to so many people.
"Kayla did a fantastic job with her design and I am delighted to see how we have been able to incorporate it into our first polymer banknote."

The car was being pursued along Lennard Road, Penge, when it struck the group at about 14:05 BST, witnesses said.
The woman and boy died at the scene, while three girls were taken to hospital with "multiple injuries", London Ambulance Service (LAS) said.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The 23 year-old remains in custody in a south London police station, the Metropolitan Police said.
A witness said the car was being chased by two police BMWs when the driver "lost control and ploughed into a family".
"People were trying to lift a car off a little girl," the man said.
Another witness, Venissa Vassell, said about 20 people lifted the car and the girls "crawled out".
One girl who was taken away by ambulance was screaming, "I can't feel my legs", Ms Vassell said.
Ilya Baxter, 23, saw the police chase from a window in his flat.
He described seeing a white man aged between 18 and 25 running across the road around the corner from the crashed car, before police caught him.
He said: "I heard the cars and saw someone pointing to the police where he went. I knocked on the window and pointed."
He said that the man was hiding in the bushes. Police then caught the man, handcuffed him, and then went to help the injured, he added.
The majority of police pursuits in London take place at relatively low-speed and end quickly when the driver pulls over.
But there's been concern about a recent rise in the number of people killed in car chases.
The police watchdog says there were 13 deaths in the UK in 2015/16 - during or after police chases - up from six the previous year.
In London in 2015/16 there were three deaths, up from one the previous year.
The Metropolitan Police philosophy is that no pursuit is worth risking the safety of the public; that travelling through built-up areas at more than 40 or 50 mph is simply not worth it.
With the amount of CCTV on the streets of the capital, tracing vehicles is easier than ever, although watching a suspect get away is clearly galling for officers, and a great worry if the suspect poses an immediate threat.
Sources say it's become increasingly common for a senior officer - monitoring events in real-time in the police control room - to call off a chase if they feel the risk to the public has become too great.
Often, the control room will try to scramble the most highly-trained pursuit officers to take over. They are in the minority, though, and the body that represents rank and file officers, the Police Federation, has said a reduction in specific road policing officers nationally has led criminals to think they can get away.
With fewer specialists on the roads, more chases will be allocated to officers who don't have the daily experience of high-speed pursuits.
The details of what happened in Penge are still not clear. But this crash shows once again how devastating the consequences of police chases can be.
Police watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has sent investigators to the scene, and appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Over the last 10 years, 252 members of the public have died following road traffic incidents involving the police in England and Wales, according to the IPCC.
In London there were 498 crashes involving a pursuit by Met officers in 2015-16.

The Glasgow duo of New Zealand-born centre Nick Grigg and tight-head prop D'Arcy Rae, plus Edinburgh hooker George Turner, are the new faces.
Edinburgh prop Willem Nel and Glasgow fly-half/centre Peter Horne return after missing the Six Nations.
There are also recalls for Lee Jones, Ruaridh Jackson and Sam Hidalgo-Clyne.
Glasgow wing Jones, 28, Harlequins full-back Jackson and Edinburgh scrum-half Hidalgo-Clyne benefit from the absence of Tommy Seymour, Stuart Hogg and Greig Laidlaw, who are in the British & Irish Lions squad for their New Zealand tour.
Scotland will play a Test against Italy in Singapore on 10 June before tackling Australia in Sydney on 17 June and Fiji in Suva on 24 June.
Grigg, 24, signed for Glasgow at the start of the season after impressing for Stirling County in the BT Premiership, and has established himself as a regular in the Warriors' midfield.
Rae, 22, is a qualified community coach and represented Scotland throughout the age-grades.
He replaces Edinburgh tight-head Simon Berghan, who along with club-mates Cornell du Preez, Grant Gilchrist - who started Scotland's last Six Nations match against Italy - and Duncan Weir, is left out of the squad.
Turner, 24, only made his first start in 14 appearances for Edinburgh last month, and takes over from the injured Stuart McInally as the third hooker behind established duo Ross Ford and Fraser Brown.
Emerging Edinburgh flanker Magnus Bradbury, 21, also returns to the senior squad after making his Test debut last autumn against Argentina but not featuring during the Six Nations.
The influential Nel, who has not played for Edinburgh since aggravating a neck injury just before the Six Nations, and number eight Josh Strauss, sidelined since an injury against France in the Six Nations, are both included.
But centres Huw Jones and Mark Bennett, plus props Al Dickinson and Rory Sutherland, remain on the injured list.
Townsend, who succeeds Vern Cotter as national coach is relishing the prospect of what he called "a challenging tour of three different countries, playing three quality sides".
"This tour is all about learning and competing," he said. "As a coaching group we will be learning more about our players and how they perform in a different environment against three sides with contrasting styles of play."
With the draw for the 2019 World Cup in Japan being made on Wednesday, 10 May, Townsend admits his squad selection was made with one eye on the future.
"The 34 players named today are selected not just for their form and what they've done in a Scotland jersey up to now but for what they can do over the next couple of years," he added.
Townsend has completed his Scotland backroom team with the appointment of Stuart Yule as strength and conditioning coach, and Gavin Vaughan as performance analyst. Both were with him at Glasgow.
Meanwhile, the Warriors have announced Kenny Murray will stay on as an assistant coach and focus on defence when Dave Rennie takes over as head coach.

The property in Elliots Drive, Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, was almost completely destroyed in the blast at about 19:30 GMT on Tuesday.
A man in his 80s was left with burns.
The lighter refill, which contained butane gas, "exploded with enough force to take out an entire corner of the wall," Essex Fire and Rescue Service said.
Follow updates on this story and other Essex news
John Mann, the son of the man caught up in the explosion, said at first he thought his father had died.
"My dad was sitting in his chair with his hair on fire," he told the BBC.
"I could see right inside the house, the roof was on the ground and my dad was just sitting there... I realised he was alive, but it was horrific."
Firefighters believe there was a small fire which involved the canister, causing it to explode.
"The man has had a very lucky escape. He suffered burns but it could have been a lot worse," said Assistant Divisional Officer Costa Olymbios.
"We are carrying out a full investigation to establish the cause but at this stage the fire appears to be accidental."
The 36-year-old was travelling on the Metrolink service at about 06:50 BST on Saturday near Beswick in Manchester when the argument broke out.
The offender "sliced the victim's neck with a knife" before running off at the Velopark stop, officers added.
The victim was taken to hospital where his condition is stable. Police are appealing for details from witnesses.
Insp Steve Griffin, from Greater Manchester Police, called it a "vicious" attack, adding: "It is only good fortune that prevented this man from suffering potentially life-threatening injuries, because if this knife had cut an artery I would dread to think what the result could have been.
"We know there were a number of people on the tram at the time, and we need them to come forward and tell us what they saw."
The offender is described as black, aged between 35 and 45, about 5ft 4in tall with a shaven head.
He was with a woman, who was white, wearing dark hair in a ponytail and black clothes.
For years he successfully brushed off sex scandals and allegations of corruption but it was the effects of Italy's burgeoning eurozone debt crisis in 2011 that finally spelt an end to his time at the top table of politics.
The charismatic showman was replaced by a technocrat and his centre-right party split.
Worse was to come for a man whom many Italians had come to see as untouchable.
He was convicted of tax fraud in 2013 and ejected from the Italian Senate. Because of his age, a four-year jail term became a year of community service at a care home near Milan. Another conviction in 2015 and his political career was finally over.
For years his looks belied his age, with a little help from hair transplants and plastic surgery. However, after a heart attack that his doctor said could have killed him, he has had heart surgery to replace a defective valve.
Berlusconi, 79, remains one of Italy's richest men. He and his family have built a fortune estimated at $6.6bn (£4.6bn; €6.6bn) by US business magazine Forbes.
Born on 29 September 1936, Berlusconi lived through the war as a child. Like many Milan children, he was evacuated and lived with his mother in a village some distance from the city.
He began his career selling vacuum cleaners and built a reputation as a crooner, first in nightclubs and then on cruise ships.
"I had a repertoire of 150 different songs and I took requests from the audience," he told biographer Alan Friedman.
He graduated in law in 1961 and then set up Edilnord, a construction company, establishing himself as a residential housing developer around his native Milan.
Ten years later he launched a local cable-television outfit - Telemilano - which would grow into Italy's biggest media empire, Mediaset, controlling the country's three largest private TV stations.
His huge Fininvest holding company now has Mediaset, Italy's largest publishing house Mondadori, daily newspaper Il Giornale, AC Milan football club and dozens of other companies under its umbrella.
His children, Marina, Barbara, Pier Silvio, Eleonora and Luigi all take part in the running of his business empire.
In 1993, Berlusconi founded his own political party, Forza Italia (Go Italy), named after an Italian football chant.
The following year he became prime minister, heading a coalition with the right-wing National Alliance and Northern League.
Many hoped his business acumen could help revitalise Italy's economy. They longed for a break with the corruption and instability which had marred Italian politics for a decade.
But rivalries between the three coalition leaders, coupled with Berlusconi's indictment for alleged tax fraud by a Milan court, confounded those hopes and led to the collapse of the government seven months later.
He lost the 1996 election to the left-wing Romano Prodi but by 2001 he was back in power, in coalition once more with his former partners.
Having headed the longest-serving Italian government since World War Two, he was again defeated by Mr Prodi in 2006.
He returned to office in 2008 at the helm of a revamped party, renamed the People of Freedom (PDL).
His support drained away in 2011, as the country's borrowing costs rocketed at the height of the eurozone debt crisis, and he resigned after losing his parliamentary majority.
Initially his party supported the technocratic government of Mario Monti and his reform programme.
But in December 2012, his PDL withdrew its backing, forcing an early election.
In February 2013, he showed he had not lost his touch when he closed a huge gap to come within 1% of winning a general election - close enough to play a part in the governing coalition.
But after an uncomfortable period when the PDL backed Enrico Letta's government, the party split and Berlusconi relaunched it under the old name, Forza Italia. Opinion polls now place Forza Italia well behind the other big parties.
Much of Berlusconi's political career ran in tandem with a litany of legal battles. A native of Milan, he frequently complained of being victimised by its legal authorities.
In 2009, he estimated that over 20 years he had made 2,500 court appearances in 106 trials, at a legal cost of €200m.
He denied embezzlement, tax fraud and false accounting, and attempting to bribe a judge. And on numerous occasions he was acquitted, had convictions overturned or watched them expire under a statute of limitations.
But he received a setback when in 2011 the Constitutional Court struck down part of a law granting him and other senior ministers temporary immunity.
From now on it was up to individual trial judges to decide.
By the end of the year he was out of power and in October 2012 he was given four years for tax fraud and barred from public office.
But it was not until 1 August 2013 that Italy's supreme court upheld the verdict. Berlusconi declared his innocence and spoke of a "judicial coup".
Because he was over 75, he did not go to jail but did community service, working four hours a week with elderly dementia patients at a Catholic care home near Milan.
The many trials of Berlusconi
Berlusconi's struggles in the political arena and the courtroom have been accompanied by a string of lascivious reports about his private life.
He met second wife Veronica Lario after she performed topless in a play.
When he was photographed at the 18th birthday party of aspiring model Noemi Letizia, she decided to divorce him and also accused him of selecting a "shamelessly trashy" list of candidates for the European parliament.
But his reputation was tarnished most by allegations of raunchy "bunga-bunga" parties at his private villa attended by showgirls. The reports culminated in a conviction of paying for sex with an underage prostitute.
An explanation of bunga bunga
In October 2010, it emerged that Silvio Berlusconi had called a police station asking for the release of a 17-year-old girl, Karima "Ruby" El Mahroug.
She was being held for theft and was also said to have attended his "bunga-bunga" parties.
In June 2013 he was found guilty of paying her for sex, and of abuse of power. The case was eventually overturned in 2014.
Berlusconi has always maintained he is "no saint" but firmly denies having ever paid for sex with a woman, saying: "I never understood where the satisfaction is when you're missing the pleasure of conquest."
His turn of phrase has always delighted like-thinkers and horrified critics. In one of his most recent examples, he said his family was so persecuted they felt "like the families of Jews... under Hitler's regime". The remark drew condemnation from Italian Jews.
In December 2009, he was assaulted in a street in Milan - hit in the face with a souvenir of Milan cathedral, by a mentally disturbed man. With a bloodied face and broken teeth, he got out of the car into which he had been bundled by security guards to show his defiance.
The Met Office said snow could settle to lower levels in northwest Scotland by mid-morning on Saturday.
Elsewhere, snow is most likely on higher roads.
Further wintry showers and winds gusting to 50mph could lead to blizzard conditions on Sunday on high level routes.
A yellow warning has also been issued for Monday, covering Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England and the Midlands.
This anticipates more widespread snow, with accumulations of up to 3in (8cm) even at lower levels.

The 32-year-old, a three-time Grand Slam champion, needed ice on a knee injury between points as he fell to a 6-4 3-6 6-4 6-1 loss on Centre Court.
Earlier, Rafael Nadal began his bid for a third Wimbledon title with a comfortable win over John Millman.
But world number 20 Nick Kyrgios failed to reach round two, retiring from his opening match because of a hip injury.
Medvedev's victory over world number three Wawrinka came just hours after the 21-year-old moved into the world's top 50 for the first time.
It was his first Grand Slam victory on his Wimbledon debut, and he celebrated by dropping to the court in front of the net and kissing the ground.
"At 5-1, I started thinking about what to do after the match and I kissed the grass because it was my first Grand Slam win, even though people do it when they win Wimbledon," he said.
Medvedev lost in the first round at the Australian Open and Roland Garros earlier this year, but arrived at the All England Club feeling confident after an excellent start to his grass-court season.
The Russian reached the semi-finals at Eastbourne, losing to Novak Djokovic, and also made the last eight at Queen's and s'Hertogenbosch.
"I'm really happy," he said. "Wimbledon is my favourite Grand Slam. It was in my juniors and still is.
"One year ago I was 250th in the rankings and if someone said I would not only play on Centre but win I would say: 'You are joking!'
"I have had a great grass-court season and knew Stan had some problems. I knew I had a chance if I played good, and I played amazing."

Wawrinka, having already won the Australian, French and US Opens, was attempting to become only the sixth man to complete the career Grand Slam in the Open Era.
But the Swiss only played once on grass before Wimbledon, losing at Queen's to eventual champion Feliciano Lopez.
"I wasn't feeling the way I wanted to feel but I played against a great player," said Wawrinka, who has never gone past the quarter-finals in SW19.
"I had problems with the knee since Queen's. It is not something new but something I had in the past. Apparently grass is not the best surface for my knee and I need to figure out what I'm going to do and come back when I have no pain.
"I thought two weeks between Queen's and now would be enough but it wasn't. I'll talk to my team and doctor and take the time I need."
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
Medvedev's impressive English summer continued, inspired by his Centre Court surroundings on his Wimbledon debut. This always looked a horrible draw for Wawrinka, who has had some pain in his knee since switching from the clay to the grass.
A first-round defeat at Queen's Club left him short of practice and belief on what he describes as the "most challenging surface for my game".
Wawrinka had the opportunity this fortnight to become only the ninth man in history to have won all four Grand Slam titles, although given his record at Wimbledon, the odds were always very much against.

Spanish world number two Nadal beat Millman 6-1 6-3 6-2.
The win was the 850th of Nadal's career and came in his 50th match at Wimbledon.
He will next face American world number 43 Donald Young, who was 2-1 up in sets when opponent Denis Istomin retired.
Nadal missed last year's Wimbledon because of injury and was playing his first tournament match on grass in two years.
He is looking to secure a second Gram Slam title in 2017 after winning last month's French Open.
"I have been playing good tennis since the beginning of the season," said Nadal.
"The clay-court season has been special and emotional and here I have an opportunity to perform on grass."

Kyrgios was visibly struggling throughout his match with France's Pierre-Hugues Herbert and pulled out shortly after losing the second set, with the Frenchman leading 6-3 6-4.
The 20th seed withdrew from the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club last month after slipping during his first-round match with Donald Young.
"I did everything I could to help it. I did not have enough time," said the 22-year-old.
It is the first time Kyrgios has gone out in round one at Wimbledon.
Kyrgios said at the weekend he was only "about 65%" fit after aggravating the long-standing injury to his left hip at Queen's, but insisted it was not a career-threatening problem.
"Surgery? I don't know at the moment. I'm not a doctor," he said.
"I spoke to the doctor before the tournament and he leaned towards not playing. But it is my favourite tournament and it was not easy to pull out.
"I thought I could win. There are some opponents I probably still could have won against, but not Pierre. I'm not taking anything away from him."
Kyrgios pulled out of the Monte Carlo Masters and Italian Open earlier this season with the hip problem that resurfaced at Queen's.
Against Herbert, he tried to win as many points as possible with his serve, and was unable to move quickly enough to reach the Frenchman's passing shots.
Herbert will next meet compatriot Benoit Paire in round two after the 28-year-old beat Brazil's Rogerio Dutra Silva 6-4 3-6 7-6 (12-10) 6-4.
Elsewhere, Croatian seventh seed Marin Cilic had too much for world number 60 Philipp Kohlschreiber, beating the German 6-4 6-2 6-3.
Japanese ninth seed Kei Nishikori also progressed with a straight-set victory, defeating Marco Cecchinato of Italy 6-2 6-2 6-0.
Kosovan Ardit Ferizi pleaded guilty to charges of providing material support to America's enemies, in a court hearing in Virginia.
The maximum sentence for that crime is 20 years in jail.
He could also be sentenced to a further five years in jail for hacking into a federal computer to steal the list.
"Ferizi endangered the lives of over 1,000 Americans," said US attorney Dana Boente in a statement from the Department of Justice.
The DoJ said: "The case against Ferizi is the first of its kind, representing the nexus of the terror and cyber-threats."
It said Ferizi, who is now 21, handed the list to IS, knowing it could incite the group to attack the individuals named in it.
Information about the names, email addresses, passwords, locations and phone numbers for about 1,351 military personnel and federal staff came from several servers that Ferizi hacked into.
He targeted both machines in US government offices and corporate computers.
During the court proceedings, Ferizi admitted he had passed the list to Junaid Hussain, a British cyber-expert involved with IS who was killed in August last year by an air strike.
"I don't know myself why I did this. I still ask myself why I committed this crime," the Washington Post reported that he had said in court.
Ferizi, who used the Twitter name @Th3Dir3ctorY, was arrested in Malaysia in October 2015 and extradited to the US in January this year.
He is due to be sentenced on 16 September.
After he has served his sentence, he will be deported to Kosovo and barred from re-entering the US.
Hearts' Hamilton, 22, is drafted in for matches against Italy and France, along with Ross County's Scott Fox after Scott Bain and Allan McGregor withdrew.
Swansea City left-back Kingsley, 21, and Derby County midfielder Craig Bryson, 29, are also called up.
That is because club commitments mean four players cannot face Italy.
Scotland face the Italians at the Ta' Qali National Stadium in Malta on 29 May before taking on France in a second friendly on 4 June in Metz.
But Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Barry Bannan and Hull trio Robert Snodgrass, Shaun Maloney and Andrew Robertson are due to play in the English Championship play-off final the day before the game against Italy.
Barring injuries, the quartet are expected to return to the squad before the match in France, but McGregor missed Hull's semi-final win over Derby and is an injury doubt for the final, while Bain also has a back problem.
Hamilton and Kingsley receive their first call-up to Gordon Strachan's senior squad after having been involved previously at under-21 level.
The Hearts goalkeeper, who has had loan spells with Stenhousemuir, Forfar Athletic, East Stirlingshire and East Fife in recent years, has been back-up this season at Tynecastle behind former Scotland goalkeeper Neil Alexander and has only started 10 games for his parent club.
Kingsley, who joined Swansea from Falkirk in 2014, spent the first half of this season with Crewe Alexandra in League One.
The 28-year-old Fox received his first call-up to the senior squad in 2013 but has yet to earn his first cap.
Bryson, who has two senior caps, suffered defeat by Hull with his club in the Championship play-off semi-final.
There could be more changes to Strachan's squad in the coming days, the Scotland coach having rested Celtic and Aberdeen players and offered Hearts the same privilege in recognition of their involvement in the early rounds of European competition next season.
Rangers manager Mark Warburton has hinted he will withdraw left-back Lee Wallace and winger Barrie McKay if his team Saturday's Scottish Cup final against Hibernian.
That would secure an early start to the season in the Europa League qualifiers.
Hibs could re-examine midfielder John McGinn's place in the squad if they claim the trophy.

One of film's most popular sex symbols in the 1940s and 1950s, Jane Russell captivated audiences in movies such as The Outlaw and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
But the actress sparked an international furore in 1951 when she adopted a child from a Londonderry mother living in poverty to raise as her own.
It was a move that almost ended her glittering screen career, as the scandal which followed reverberated through the law courts of London and the boulevards of Beverly Hills.
Now, in a new BBC Radio 4 documentary, broadcaster Marie-Louise Muir meets that boy, now in his 60s, as he makes an emotional first visit to Derry.
Searching for his Irish roots, Thomas Waterfield's trip takes him to the sprawling estate where his mother lived as she grew up in the city.
Springtown Camp was a development of tin huts built for American soldiers in World War Two and which later became home to some of Derry's poorest families.
News reports from the time told of the "feeling of drift and rejection" at Springtown and the "sense of desolation" there.
It was a world apart from the life steeped in glamour that Thomas went on to have, which he acknowledges was a "blessing".
While working on a stage show for the Queen in London in 1951, Russell - unable to have children of her own - told reporters of her desire to adopt a baby boy, specifically an Irish one.
Having left Derry to move to London with her family, Hannah heard the news and after making contact with Russell, the two met at the Savoy hotel.
There the switch was discussed before eventually being agreed.
After handing 15-month-old Thomas over to Russell at London Airport, Hannah fought back tears as she told the press of her heartbreak but also of her hope.
'My baby has gone to fairyland', read the headline in the Daily Mirror on 8 November 1951.
"This means a new life for him," Hannah said.
"Out there there will be chances. I've always admired Jane Russell on the pictures but I never realised she was such a real person."
But the ad hoc adoption trigged a fierce reaction both in the United Kingdom and in Ireland.
The documentary looks in detail at the controversy surrounding it and the widely-held notion at the time that someone could pick out a baby and within days have it as their own - the "effortless acquisition" of adopting a child and taking it abroad.
The adoption even caused a stir in parliament, with one MP demanding Thomas's return and a strengthening of legislation on the issue.
Hannah was charged with breaching adoption laws, but with the help of a barrister hired by Russell she received a conditional discharge.
Back in Derry, Thomas - who now lives in Arizona meets his uncle Sandy and a woman who grew up with his Hannah.
She tells him that his biological mother gave him away because she wanted him "to do better" for himself.
"In them days, there was nothing here for you to do," she explains.
"[Your mother] didn't give you away because she didn't want you, she gave you away because she loved you."
As one of those left behind in Springtown, writer Willie Deery, who was a neighbour of Hannah's there, tells Thomas: "Your life was like a fairytale to us."
"It feels like a fairytale to me," he replies.
Jane Russell and the Springtown Mother was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Friday 27 March and is available on the BBC iPlayer.
Both men are seeking to boost bilateral ties, with Mr Putin emphasising Egypt's status as Russia's "trusted partner".
He presented Mr Sisi with a Kalashnikov AK-47 rifle when he arrived on Monday.
Mr Putin is a key ally of the former army chief, who the West has criticised for cracking down on dissent since the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi.
At least 1,400 supporters of Mr Morsi and his Islamist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, have been killed in clashes with security forces since July 2013. More than 16,000 others have been detained.
On Tuesday, three home-made bombs exploded at police stations in Egypt's second city, Alexandria, injuring 10 people, officials said. Two other blasts in the west of the Mediterranean city damaged a bus.
A group calling itself Revolutionary Punishment said it had planted the bombs in response to what it termed "violations" by the government.
Mr Putin arrived in Cairo late on Monday, attending attending a cultural show at Cairo's opera house with Mr Sisi.
In an interview with Egypt's state-run al-Ahram newspaper, the Russian leader hailed "dynamic" bilateral relations, saying that trade increased by almost 50% in 2014 compared with the year before.
Banners with pictures of the Egyptian and Russian leaders can be seen festooned across Cairo's main streets and bridges. The warm welcome is reflected on television and in the press. On social media, the hashtag #Putin_in_Egypt has attracted more than 2,000 tweets. Some are positive, but others criticise President Sisi for going to the opera with Mr Putin just a day after a deadly stampede at a Cairo football stadium.
In Russia, the popular tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda says that "compared to Putin, the Egyptian president is a newcomer to politics", but "good chemistry" appears to be forming between the two. A commentator in the daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Veniamin Popov, says: "With the Americans taking a hostile position towards Egypt's current president, the development of ties with us will help build his strength."
Mr Putin also suggested the two countries would discuss ending the use of the US dollar in bilateral trade, switching to national currencies instead.
Mr Sisi meanwhile took the opportunity to praise his counterpart's stance on Egypt in an interview with the Russian state-owned newspaper, Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
"In recent months special value has been attached to the position adopted by President Putin, who supports Egypt in matters relating to the fight against terrorism and is aware of the real situation in our country," he said. "It is on such understanding that our relations need to be built."
Russia is reportedly seeking to increase arms sales to Egypt, which reacted angrily in 2013 to a decision by the US to suspend some deliveries following the crackdown on Morsi supporters.
When the Russian defence and foreign ministers visited Cairo in November, Russian media said the two countries were close to signing a $3bn (£2bn) deal for MiG-29 fighters and attack helicopters.
The two presidents are also expected to discuss Syria, Iraq and Libya, as well as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Mr Putin's visit comes amid a growing crisis in eastern Ukraine, as diplomats try to reach a peace deal to end the fighting between government troops and pro-Russian rebels that has left 5,000 dead.
Russia is accused by Ukraine and the West of sending its troops across the border and arming the separatists - a claim denied by Moscow.
Almost half of those job losses will come at its investment bank.
Barclays also reported a plunge in pre-tax profit to £246m in 2012, from £5.9bn in 2011, after setting aside compensation for mis-sold products and a loss on the value of its own debt.
Barclays boss Antony Jenkins told the BBC: "It will take years before people change their impression of us."
He added: "I'm not daunted by that at all."
Of the job cuts, 1,800 will come from its corporate and investment banking, with the vast majority in Asia, and 1,900 will come from its European retail and business banking.
Barclays - which currently employs 140,000 staff - said very few of the job losses would be in the UK.
The bank is seeking to rebuild its reputation after a string of damaging incidents. It was fined £290m last year for attempting to rig the Libor interest rate, and has also been caught up in the industry-wide mis-selling scandals involving payment protection insurance (PPI) and interest rate investment products.
On an adjusted basis, profits rose by 26% to £7.05bn, in line with analysts' expectations.
Shares in the bank gained 8.6% to 327p.
Barclays has been rocked by the Libor and mis-selling scandals and Mr Jenkins, who replaced Bob Diamond as chief executive in August, has pledged to transform the banking group.
The bank set aside £1.6bn to compensate customers mis-sold PPI and £850m for those mis-sold interest rate hedging products.
"You should not sell products to customers that are not in their interests," Mr Jenkins told the BBC's Today programme.
"I've been very clear that we have to run this business in a way that delivers for customers and clients."
The extra provision from Barclays for PPI, which includes £600m announced by Mr Jenkins earlier this month, takes the combined total for overall PPI compensation for the UK banking industry to £13.6bn.
Barclays also took a loss of £4.6bn after revaluing its own debt.
The bank confirmed that it was closing its Structured Capital Markets business, which helps clients avoid tax.
It said the 3,700 job cuts, which will take place this year, would result in a restructuring charge of close to £500m in the first quarter of 2013.
The average bonus it paid last year fell 13% to £13,300, while the average bonus paid to staff at its investment bank fell 17% to £54,100.
Barclays raised its dividend as a signal of increased confidence to shareholders. The dividend on ordinary shares went up from 6p per share to 6.5p - a rise of 8%.
But the dividend payout of £733m was still dwarfed by the value of bonuses paid or set aside for staff, mainly in the investment bank.
The overall bonus pool, though down by 14% from 2011, still amounted to £1.85bn.
Barclays also revealed that its compensation ratio - staff pay as a proportion of net revenues - had fallen from 42% to 38%.
It said that while this was progress, it was "not the destination", as it believes a ratio in the mid-30s is a sustainable position in the medium term.
Mr Jenkins said in his review that he planned to focus investment in the UK, the US and Africa, while reducing the bank's presence in continental Europe and Asia.
He also plans to scale back Barclays' investment bank.
However, in 2012 the investment bank continued to be very profitable for the group, with statutory profits rising 37% to £4.06bn.
Profits at its UK retail and business banking division dropped 71% to just £292m after PPI and interest rate swap provisions, but rose 4% to £1.47bn on an adjusted basis.
Keith Bowman, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said that while Barclays faced "a series of legacy issues" such as Libor, and increased regulatory and capital requirements, things were looking up for the bank.
"Significant management changes have been implemented, a universal banking business model offers its own diversification attractions, whilst cyclical economic exposure and the lack of government ownership also appeal," he said.
"For now, despite a 60% plus gain in the share price over the last six months alone, the new chief executive looks to have done enough, with analyst opinion remaining positive in tone."
Pro-exit farming minister George Eustice said support for farmers would be maintained if the UK left the EU.
But his department said this was his personal view, not the government's.
A group representing thousands of farmers and landowners has written to Mr Cameron, demanding EU payments to farms continue.
The UK vote on whether to remain in or to leave the EU takes place on 23 June.
In the letter - seen by the BBC - the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) says the current funding must stay in place until 2020.
CLA president Ross Murray wrote: "The lack of clarity around what is statement of fact and what is conjecture about government plans is causing confusion, which leads to uncertainty around investment decisions and around meeting long-term environmental commitments."
Asked about farming subsidies in the event of leaving the EU, Mr Eustice told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We would still support farming to the same level, possibly even more than now."
But a spokeswoman from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said: "This is the view of the farming minister, who supports the Leave campaign, and not that of the government."
Mr Cameron has said some support for farmers would continue after a leave vote but has not promised it would not be cut.
A Defra spokesman added: "The future level of farming support if we left the EU is unknown."
Mr Eustice's boss, Environment Secretary Liz Truss, shares the official government position that the UK should remain in the EU.
One government source said no minister could possibly guarantee Common Agricultural Policy payments would be matched outside the EU as they could not know which government would be in power or what decisions it would make.
Leave campaigners argue that as a net contributor to the EU budget, the UK could easily afford to continue making payments if it left.
The CLA says civil servants need to start work on what would happen after a leave vote.
The group is remaining neutral on whether the UK should leave the EU.
The accord, signed with the left-wing rebel group last month, was narrowly rejected in a national referendum.
Mr Santos has spent the past few days meeting those who campaigned for a "No" vote.
He will take new proposals to a meeting with Farc leaders in the Cuban capital, Havana.
The original ceasefire ended with the referendum and has already been extended until 31 October.
In a televised address, Mr Santos said he had made the decision to extend the ceasefire further after meeting student leaders who had organised marches through Bogota in support of the peace deal.
"One of the students reminded me that in the army and in the guerrilla ranks, there are young people waiting to see what happens, hoping that they don't need to fire another shot," he said.
"For that reason, and at the request of the students, I have taken the decision to extend the ceasefire until 31 December."
Mr Santos was awarded the Nobel Peace prize for reaching the peace agreement, which took more than four years to negotiate.
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Ivan Marquez, the Farc's lead negotiator at the peace talks in Havana, denied that the original agreement was moribund.
"This final accord is the key, is the formula, is the roadmap to peace - a peace with dignity, which is what we want, and with democracy," he said.
Mr Marquez acknowledged the "no" campaign's victory in the referendum, but said: "It was a technical draw between the 'no' and the 'yes'. The 'no' didn't obtain an absolute majority. But they have an Achilles heel: the 'no' campaign was constructed on a base of lies."
Former president, Alvaro Uribe, who led the "no" campaign, has called for the Farc's top leadership to serve prison sentences, but that concession is unlikely to come from the guerrillas.
"If Alvaro Uribe couldn't win the war [in the eight years he was president]," Mr Marquez said, "then he should move aside and let Colombians make peace."
But Mr Marquez insisted a process of consultation between all sides, including the millions who abstained in the referendum, could bring about a "stronger agreement which has the backing of all Colombians".
The campaign to reject the deal, led by former President Alvaro Uribe, called for a stronger line to be taken against former rebels.
They were angered that Farc guerrillas were offered congressional seats and non-custodial sentences such as clearing landmines in return for ending the conflict.
Farc leader Timoleon Rodriguez, better known as Timochenko, said on Wednesday he was confident the deal could be revived although he said he would be reluctant to renegotiate some elements of the accord.
An estimated 220,000 people have been killed during more than 50 years of conflict.
Welbeck suffered a knee injury during the 4-0 win over Lithuania in the Euro 2016 qualifier on Friday.
Coach Roy Hodgson said Welbeck will join Raheem Sterling (toe), who also scored on Friday, Manchester City's James Milner (knee) and Everton's Leighton Baines.
Southampton's Ryan Bertrand has been called up as a replacement.
"We knew we were going to be losing Raheem Sterling who had an injection last night on an on-going injury and hopefully that will help him as we go forward.
"We have a problem with James Milner who had to leave, we decided to let Leighton Baines go home and of course we lost Danny Welbeck who unfortunately picked up a slight knee injury against Lithuania.
"So those four players won't be with us going forward but it means a chance for the other guys in the squad to show what they can do.
"We are going to bring Ryan Bertrand in because with Leighton Baines gone we are now left with only one recognised left-back which is Kieran Gibbs. We wanted two recognised left-backs for both games."
It said its forces had "more likely than not" killed 30 other civilians elsewhere in Syria in recent months.
Local monitoring groups, however, said at least 56 civilians had died in the Manbij offensive alone.
The coalition estimated 173 civilians have been killed by its air strikes since the beginning of the operation.
Its attack on Manbij five months ago was designed to aid advancing Kurdish military forces, with the aim of driving IS militants from the city.
An alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters called the Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) began an operation to capture Manbij at the end of May, and cut critical supply routes to the IS-held city of Raqqa.
The town was eventually captured in August, after a 73-day battle.
In its December casualty report, the US-led coalition contradicted humanitarian groups when it said only 24 civilians had lost their lives in the Manbij attack, along with nearly 100 IS militants.
The report said all seven strikes for which the coalition admitted fault "complied with the law of armed conflict" and it was "unfortunate" that civilian casualties had happened. Those attacks happened between March and October 2016 in both Syria and Iraq.
It rejected 12 other reports of fatal strikes on civilians, and three incidents in October are still being investigated.
In November, the United States also admitted to carrying out an attack in Deir al-Zour, in eastern Syria, which killed dozens of soldiers fighting against IS, which it said was a "mistake".
The attack stopped when Russia informed the US it was hitting Syrian army forces.
Russia said the attack killed at least 62 Syrian troops, and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad insisted that the deadly air strikes were intentional.
The shop will open at Downtown Crossing in Boston in September.
Primark said it planned to open a further seven stores in the USA and had chosen stores that were located close to areas of high-urban density and that would benefit from high levels of existing customer footfall.
The firm will use a distribution centre in Pennsylvania.
The first store opened in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland in 1969.
In 1973, the firm opened its first store in the UK and branched out into Europe in 2006 with the opening of its first shop in Spain.
In the Republic of Ireland, the firm trades under the name Penneys.
The band split up in 2005 after Charlie Simpson decided to quit in favour of another band, Fightstar.
Matt Willis says, so far, just he and James Bourne are back on board.
"Music is always in the back of my head," he said. "It's always the thing that I want to be doing. There's a chance we'll be doing something soon."
Matt is performing in the West End production of Flashdance at the moment.
He says getting older and appearing in the London show have made his writing more mature.
He said: "It's the two guys who wrote Busted songs. So it's going to be a little bit like Busted.
"But we're both 27 now. We're not 17 writing about school teachers and the year 3000. Also we're not writing about really grown-up stuff either.
"The way it's taken shape, it's funny. I don't know if Flashdance has influenced me, but its quite 80s, quite synth-based. But it's still got guitars. It's great. It's wicked.
"Things are looking good. Fingers crossed, we should be making an album within the next six months hopefully. But we'll see."
Barca, who beat Celtic 7-0 in their opening Group C game, trailed to Thorgan Hazard's opener in Germany.
Substitute Arda Turan fired in the equaliser before Gerard Pique bundled in the winner for the Spanish side.
Elsewhere, Paris St-Germain were 3-1 winners at Ludogorets and Napoli beat Benfica 4-2.
Luis Enrique had to come up with a rare solution to the problem of Lionel Messi's absence, with the Argentine striker missing with a groin injury.
His initial solution was to start Spain international Paco Alcacer in Messi's place, alongside Neymar and Luis Suarez in a front three.
The home side were not overawed, though, and took the game to the visitors, opening the scoring through Hazard's poked finish following Mahmoud Dahoud's pass.
If Enrique's initial tactics were misjudged, he made amends in the second half, sending on Turan, who made an immediate impact with a drilled finish after latching on to Neymar's floated pass over the top.
Pique completed the turnaround nine minutes later, finding the net from close range after Suarez's shot had been blocked.
The 3-3 draw between Celtic and Manchester City means Barca top Group C, two points ahead of Pep Guardiola's side, who they host at the Nou Camp in three weeks.
Like Barcelona, Paris St-Germain got off to a bad start in their away game against Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad with a Natanael curled free-kick giving the home side the lead after 16 minutes.
PSG, who drew their opening game at home against Arsenal, were struggling to get into the game until Marco Verratti unlocked the home defence with a neat pass to set up Blaise Matuidi to level just before the break.
The French side were much better in the second half and claimed victory thanks to an Edinson Cavani double - the first a flicked header from Angel di Maria's free-kick, the second a close-range finish from Lucas' cross.
PSG are level on four points with Arsenal, who were 2-0 winners over Basel on Wednesday.
Arkadiusz Milik scored his third Champions League goal and Dries Mertens hit two as Napoli established themselves as firm favourites to progress to the last 16 with a comfortable victory over Benfica.
Captain Marek Hamsik gave the Italian side the lead in the first half, glancing a header in from a corner.
A three-goal burst in the second half ended the game as a contest as Mertens fired home a free-kick and then finished from close range, either side of Milik's converted penalty for a foul on Jose Callejon by the visiting goalkeeper.
Goncalo Guedes scored a brilliant goal for the Portuguese side before Salvio added a second consolation goal with a neat finish but they were no match for last season's Serie A runners-up.
In Group B's other game, Viktor Tsygankov earned Dynamo Kiev a point at Besiktas, who had taken the lead through Ricardo Quaresma.
A train travelling from Penzance to Exeter collided with another train on platform six just after 15.30 BST on 3 April.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch initial findings found the signaller believed there was enough space for both trains on the platform.
About 35 people were injured.

The report said: "Allowing trains to share a platform is known as permissive working, and is allowed for passenger trains using platform six.
"The signaller could see the rear of the train from the signal box window and estimated there was enough room for the moving train to fit on the platform. This was not the case."
One of the trains was moved to platform six due to passenger lifts being closed for maintenance on alternative platforms, the report said.
While approaching Plymouth, the moving train accelerated to about 21 mph and went through a relatively tight, left-hand curve.
That is when the driver saw the rear of the stationary train on platform six and was surprised to see it so close to the west end of the platform.
The investigation report said: "He looked at the tracks to confirm which route the train was taking and, realising a collision was imminent, applied the emergency brake.
"This was around three seconds before the collision, which occurred at about 15 mph.
"Many passengers were standing in preparation to leave the train and were thrown into the train's fixtures and onto the floor.
Martin Wheatley, chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority, said he expected con-artists to strike when the reforms were still new.
"Scams and fraud, we know, tend to proliferate at the moment of maximum uncertainty," he said in a speech.
New rules, making it easier to access pension pots, take effect on 6 April.
Those aged 55 and over will be able to spend their defined contribution pension savings as they wish, unless they have already bought an annuity, or retirement income.
Previous pension fraud has centred on persuading people to "liberate" their pensions before the age of 55, and Mr Wheatley said this was likely to continue.
"A particular risk, given that many of those approaching retirement today will - unlike their parents' generation - be carrying debts with them," he said.
However, criminals have already started to bombard people aged 55 and over who are approaching retirement with phone calls and text messages ahead of the April changes.
Pensions analysts last week warned that the pension changes could prompt an "open season" for fraudsters.
The government's own guidance service is called Pension Wise.
The case follows secret filming by the BBC's Panorama TV programme at the Castlebeck-owned Winterbourne View hospital near Hambrook.
Wayne Rogers, 31, and Allison Dove, 24, both of Kingswood, admitted to nine and seven charges each and Holly Draper, 23, pleaded guilty to two charges.
The programme showed patients allegedly being physically and verbally abused.
Both Rogers and Dove pleaded not guilty to one charge each under the Mental Capacity Act, which was accepted by the Crown with the charges resting on file.
The court heard the offences were committed between February and March 2011.
Judge Michael Longman released all three on bail to await sentencing at a later date.
At the same hearing, Michael Ezenagu, 28, of Malabar Court, India Way, London, pleaded not guilty to three counts of ill-treatment.
Neil Ferguson, 27, of Emersons Green, Bristol, pleaded not guilty to one count of ill-treatment.
No pleas were entered by Graham Doyle, 25, from Patchway, Jason Gardiner, 42, of Bristol, Charlotte Cotterell, 21, from Yate, Kelvin Fore, 33, of Middlesbrough, Sookalingum Appoo, 58, of Bristol and Danny Brake, 27 of Bristol.
They will have their cases dealt with on 16 March.
Twenty-four patients were transferred from Winterbourne View following the investigation and the home was closed last June.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said a further three people who were arrested during the investigation will not face charges.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe told the Home Affairs Select Committee he had no reason to apologise to the peer, 92.
The police investigation was criticised after Lord Bramall was told he would face no action nearly nine months after he was interviewed under caution.
Lord Bramall had denied the claims.
The former head of the Army was interviewed under caution by police on 30 April 2015 but the case was dropped by the Met, which said last month that there was insufficient evidence to investigate further or bring charges.
Sir Bernard told MPs that suspects such as Lord Bramall had to wait to be told about the outcome of his case until the police and Crown Prosecution Service had completed their work.
He also defended the decision to send 22 officers to search Lord Bramall's home during the investigation into the abuse allegations.
Sir Bernard expressed "regret" for the effect of the inquiry on Lord Bramall but repeatedly refused to apologise at the parliamentary committee.
During one exchange, Conservative MP Tim Loughton referred to a "media circus" surrounding the case.
Sir Bernard said: "Ah the media circus. If what you mean is that you want me to be bullied into apologising then that won't happen."
Mr Loughton replied: "So you think you're being bullied, do you?"
Sir Bernard said: "I'm asking you whether that's what you think."
Lord Bramall, a Normandy veteran who retired from the House of Lords in 2013, previously told the BBC there was not "one grain of truth" in the allegations, made against him by a man in his 40s.
Lord Bramall served during the D-Day landings during World War Two and commanded UK land forces between 1976 and 1978.
The peer became chief of the general staff - the professional head of the Army - in 1979, and in 1982 he oversaw the Falklands campaign.
Later that year he became chief of the defence staff - the most senior officer commanding the UK's armed forces.
Careers, children and normal lives have been put on hold to enable Samantha Cameron, Justine Miliband and Miriam Gonzalez Durantez to hit the campaign trail to help their men secure the keys to Number 10.
But does their presence at key events - like the launch of a manifesto - or meeting candidates in marginal seats really work?
After all, why does it matter if the PM holds his wife's hand? Or that Ed and Justine have two kitchens? Or that Miriam decided refused to move into a grace and favour property?
Why do we care?
According to Joe Twyman, Head of Political and Social Research at pollsters YouGov, the partners of our leading politicians are there to make their other halves "look normal" to us, the voters.
And carrying out media interviews with them in a place we can all relate to - like the kitchen - only re-emphasises those "normal" credentials.
"All leaders are seen - to a lesser or greater extent - as slightly abnormal," he said. "Wives help, in all cases, make their husbands seem more like us."
"So it's to do with 'I have a wife - you have a wife'. 'I have a kitchen with a wife - you have a kitchen with a wife'. 'This is the way this politician lives.'
"Yes, these are all contrived photo opportunities, but the kitchen is about families - they wouldn't want us to see them in their dining room or drawing room," he said. "Regardless of how big or small your house or mansion is, we can all relate to a time when the family met in the kitchen.

"Basically, it's a cost benefit analysis. Does the benefit of bringing out your wife outweigh the cost? These wives are very successful at what they do, so the parties consider them an asset. Secondly, the campaign is much closer than before and the results aren't certain, so they will want to get every possible advantage they can.
"The three men leaders are seen as professional politicians who are out of touch with society - they want to come across as normal and trustworthy. Bringing in the family, and seeing them with their wives, feeds into that."
And it would seem, for Samantha Cameron at least, her appearances and recent interviews - including how she believes, unsurprisingly, that her husband "is definitely for my mind the best man for the job" - have worked in her favour.
A poll conducted by YouGov suggests 71% believe Sam Cam is the best election asset for her party, compared with 19% for Mr Miliband's wife Justine and 10% for Miriam, Mr Clegg's wife. At 74%, Mrs Cameron is particularly popular among 25-39-year-olds, according to the survey, and men (74%) compared with women (68%).
So why haven't we been introduced to the partners of the smaller party leaders?
Twyman believes it's because Natalie Bennett (Greens) and Leanne Wood (Plaid Cymru) are not well known. "They need to build up their profiles first," he said. "Nicola Sturgeon (SNP) is better known in Scotland, but she's not well known nationally. They don't want any stories talking about their husbands when the stories could be talking about them."
And, according to Laurence Stellings, opinion pollster at Populus, the smaller parties still have a novelty value that is lacking in their bigger counterparts. "When you've been around five years, people think they've heard everything you've got to say, so putting the focus on your wife is a welcome distraction," he said. "If you're a small party, you have got something new and exciting to talk about. You don't need to talk about your partner - they can be your secret weapon later, once you're well known."
But what about UKIP leader Nigel Farage. Do the same "rules" apply to him? Why is his wife kept behind the scenes? Twyman suggests that, if he was being cynical, it might be because she is German "which isn't exactly on message for UKIP". But he adds that might be doing Mr Farage a disservice "and he may be trying to protect his wife's privacy".
Philip Cowley, professor of parliamentary government at the University of Nottingham, co-author of The British General Election of 2010 and co-editor of Sex, Lies and the Ballot Box , says there has always been a tradition of leader's spouses accompanying them on big occasions.
But he claims the growth in media outlets, particularly online, has fuelled demand for a more personal focus on leaders and their families.
"There was definitely less coverage of elections in the past," said Cowley. "The BBC would've done radio programmes and TV broadcasts on the election, but they wouldn't have had space for any left-field questions about politicians' wives, even though many of them were fairly well known at the time.
"For instance, (Labour PM 1945 to 1951) Clement Attlee's wife Violet used to drive him around during election campaigns," said Cowley. "They would stop on the roadside to have their sandwiches with their detective before going on to the next event.
"Harold Wilson (Labour PM 1964 to 1970 and 1974 to 1976) did some photo calls with his wife, Mary, even though she loathed politics - while Denis Healey's wife Edna and (Labour PM 1976-79) James Callaghan's wife Audrey were often present with them in the 70s. And of course Denis stuck with Margaret Thatcher, although he played a more low key role than the current leaders' partners.
"But the fact is we just don't know what effect partners/wives/husbands have."
The evidence suggests that being single is not a bar to being elected - Edward Heath was single and elected Conservative PM from 1970 to 1974.
Times have changed, and there have now been four decades without an unmarried person leading one of the two largest parties at Westminster. Indeed the party leaders spend considerable effort trying to give us the impression that they are everyday people who have families, kitchens and lives like ours.
Back to Mr Cowley: "The one thing I learnt when I was a schoolboy doing O-level film studies was that nothing in films happens by accident.
"It happens because the director has decided it's going to happen - in politics it's the same. If a leader's wife appears on stage - it's because someone has decided that would be a good move electorally. It doesn't mean the wife wants to do it, but that someone has decided it could make a difference."
Here is the family's statement in full.
Charles's family would first like to thank the public and politicians who have been so warm in their tributes to him and so sincere in their concern for us.
We have been touched beyond measure by the outpouring of warmth for a man whose loss we will feel deeply forever.
The pain we feel has been at least eased somewhat by the reaction of so many people across Scotland, the UK and beyond, and by the affection expressed by politicians across the spectrum.
It has become all too apparent to us how much Charles meant to so many people and how many lives he touched.
We were grateful that his young son Donald was able to attend the Commons session where so many MPs spoke so warmly about his father.
The words and images of that day, and of so many other tributes, will be there for us to look back on with pride in Charles, and Donald will always know what a special father he had.
We would also like to thank all the public authorities and emergency services who have dealt with the aftermath of Charles's death with such courtesy, kindness and efficiency.
We have now been informed by the office of the procurator fiscal of the findings of the post-mortem.
Charles's death was caused by a major haemorrhage and the report makes clear this was a consequence of his battle with alcoholism.
We are grateful to the many friends and also medical experts who sought to help down the years but ultimately this was an illness Charles could not conquer despite all the efforts he and others made.
We can now proceed to make arrangements for his funeral and we will make an announcement on the details in due course.
Israeli officials said the move - at the start of the holy month of Ramadan - came after an agreement to allow two family visits per month, not just one.
The action was led by Marwan Barghouti, a Palestinian leader jailed by Israel for life for five murders.
Barghouti has been touted as a possible future successor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Some 1,187 detainees observed the strike, according to Israel's prison service.
It began on 17 April, the annual Palestinian Prisoners Day, when Palestinians remember detained friends and relatives.
The issue of Palestinians held in Israeli jails is an ongoing source of tension between the two sides.
Palestinians regard the detainees as political prisoners. Many have been convicted of attacks against Israelis and other offences.
Others are detained under so-called Administrative Detention, which allows suspects to be held without charge for six-month intervals.
There were about 7,000 Palestinians held in Israeli jails by the end of last year, according to Palestinian prisoners' groups.

Chester outmuscled Rangers debutant Rio Ferdinand at the back post to head in from a corner early in the second half.
The home side had a superb chance to salvage a point after Chester was harshly adjudged to have handled a cross from substitute Junior Hoilett.
But Allan McGregor rescued City by saving Charlie Austin's penalty.
On the balance of play, QPR deserved a point, having created by far the greater number of chances over the course of the game.

Prior to the goal, Rangers' Alejandro Faurlin dragged a shot on the turn wide from inside the box, Joey Barton struck the side-netting with a curling free-kick from 20 yards and summer-signing Steven Caulker saw a header cleared off the line by Hull's off-season recruit Andy Robertson.
But for most top-flight sides, football is all about taking your often limited chances and in this regard, Hull have given the new-comers a valuable refresher lesson.
Chester's header was the away side's first effort on target and one of only a handful throughout the game, yet it gives them the three points and that all-important opening-day platform.
The Tigers may have lacked a distinctly Shane Long-sized physical attacking presence - emphasized by the absence of Yannick Sagbo through suspension - but they were well-drilled, disciplined and hard-working throughout.
Even an injury to summer-signing Robert Snodgrass - who had shown signs of a promising partnership down the left with fellow Scot Robertson - did not affect their solidity.
And had another of their summer recruits, Tom Ince, slotted home a chance on the break with 15 minutes remaining they could even have avoided the late drama to come.
QPR know only too well how costly a poor start can be after a 16-game winless run at the beginning of their last top-flight campaign in 2012-13 led to their relegation to the Championship.
That season, they suffered an opening-day humiliation as Swansea exposed all of their naivety and defensive deficiencies to claim a 5-0 victory at Loftus Road.
This was a much better display, but it again led to another opening-day defeat for the hosts.

Former England captain Ferdinand is a high-profile addition, designed to provide maturity and authority at the back and for the most part did just that, with his every touch in the first half greeted with grateful applause from the home support.
However, the 35-year-old's most significant act was in allowing Chester to get the better off him at the back post and steer the game's only goal into the bottom corner of the net.
Rangers' subsequent failure to conjure an equaliser will evoke unwelcome memories of their last top-flight campaign when they scored just 30 goals - a league low.
Substitute Bobby Zamora had a superb chance when he was through on goal but allowed Ahmed Elmohamady to tackle him.
Loic Remy - who did enough to suggest that talk of a failed medical with Liverpool this summer were wide of the mark - saw the last of a trio of shots saved by McGregor in the closing stages.
Most galling of all for Rangers will be the penalty miss.
Chester was adjudged to have handled Hoilett's cross in the box when the ball appeared to strike his chest, but McGregor ensured any controversy was academic as he dived to his right to push away Austin's tame effort.
QPR boss Harry Redknapp: "Some days it just doesn't go your way.
"You get a penalty late on and I think if we'd scored the penalty we had time to win the game, the momentum was with us. Some days you get the breaks and some days you don't.
"I thought in the first half we played well - we had good control, a good shape to the team, we passed it well and created some good chances so it was encouraging."
Hull boss Steve Bruce: "The referees have got to get together and realise they're making a mockery of it (the rule regarding handball) - it's supposed to be deliberate.
"Chester has got his hand by his side, the ball is a yard away and probably travelling at 50 miles per hour - what's he supposed to do?
"We need to stop all this nonsense and have a bit of common sense."

The Spaniard led overnight after an opening 64, but a three-putt bogey on the 12th and a double-bogey seven on 13 means he is tied second on nine under par with Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee.
Bjerregaard's six-under-par 66 included seven birdies and one bogey.
Englishmen Ian Poulter and Paul Casey are tied fourth on eight under.
Poulter's score came after a second consecutive round of 68, finishing with four birdies in the last six holes after a mixed card until that point.
Casey dropped a shot on the 12th in an otherwise flawless 69, which included four birdies.
"It was a great round and obviously finished off with some good birdies coming in," said Bjerregaard, who covered the back nine in 35 after starting from the 10th and birdied five of his last eight holes to come home in 31.
"Nothing much really happened on the first nine, I just played really solid. But I thought it was a good bit tougher than [Thursday] with the wind up. Some of the holes were playing really long."
England's Ross Fisher, who lost out in a three-man play-off last year, was in contention to join the leaders after five birdies and a bogey on his first 13 holes.
But further dropped shots on 14, 15 and 18 meant he slipped to seven under, five shots off the lead.

Boycott rounded on Cook following his comments about incoming England and Wales Cricket Board boss Colin Graves.
Cook was critical of Graves for calling West Indies a "mediocre" side before the drawn Test series in the Caribbean.
Boycott, a Yorkshireman like Graves, said Cook was "out of order", adding: "If he attacks us, I care."
Boycott added on Twitter that there was "no reason to slag off Yorkshire folk" and said Cook would have been sacked in any other business for "publicly criticising his boss".
To add spice to the row, Boycott, 74, also claimed that Yorkshire, the current county champions, had produced more England cricketers than any other county and would beat the current England team.

Cook has come in for renewed criticism after England lost the third and final Test against West Indies in Barbados to draw the series 1-1.
But it is his comments about Graves that have really infuriated Boycott.
Cook said Graves had inspired West Indies with his "mediocre" remark, adding: "That's a Yorkshireman for you... they're quite happy to talk a good game,"
In his Daily Telegraph column on Tuesday, Boycott wrote: "Every time Cook opens his mouth, he sticks his foot in it.
"Cook acts as if he is the best captain England have ever had.
"He is living in cloud-cuckoo land about his captaincy ability. He thinks he is untouchable."
Boycott's comments, in turn, drew a fierce response from Steve Harmison, a former England team-mate of Cook's.
The former Durham fast bowler told BBC Radio 5 live: "Geoffrey makes some valid points about the team, but I can't agree with what he says about Alastair Cook. That's a disgrace.
"He is having a personal crusade on a man who is trying to do his best."
The journey is seen as one of the five pillars of Islam, central to the faith.
Pilgrims spend five days praying both in Mecca and the surrounding desert.
It is a spiritual pilgrimage that every adult Muslim must perform at least once in their lives if they can afford it and are physically able.
In order to be closer to God, they wear simple clothes, aren't allowed to argue and perform rituals such as throwing stones at pillars to symbolise rejecting evil.
Teresa Romero's brother said her health had deteriorated and she was now being helped with her breathing in hospital.
Meanwhile, two doctors who treated her have been admitted for observation.
The admissions bring to six the total number of people under quarantine at the hospital in Madrid.
A spokesman for the Carlos III hospital said that so far neither of the two doctors recently admitted had shown Ebola symptoms.
Ms Romero is the first person to have contracted the deadly virus outside West Africa.
She was part of a team of about 30 staff looking after two missionaries who later died from the virus after being repatriated from West Africa.
Ms Romero told a Spanish newspaper that she might have become infected when removing her protective suit after cleaning one of the missionaries' room.

Ebola: Mapping the outbreak
On Wednesday she said that she was not feeling unwell, but now her condition has worsened although details remain unclear.
Her husband is among those being monitored.
The Ebola outbreak has already killed more than 3,000 people and infected more than 7,200, mostly in West Africa.
Spanish newspaper El Pais said that "a chain of human errors" had led to the first contagion of Ebola outside West Africa.
After cleaning the room of one of the missionaries following his death from the virus, Ms Romero took two days off from work and was instructed to monitor her temperature, the paper adds.
Reports as to what happened next vary, but it is believed that several days after cleaning the room she called the hospital reporting feverish symptoms and a temperature of 37.6C.
Sources working at her primary health care centre - where she was referred - told Spanish media she had not explained that she had been in contact with Ebola-infected patients. As a result she was discharged with painkillers.
Missionary Miguel Pajares, 75, died on 12 August after contracting the virus in Liberia. Manuel Garcia Viejo, 69, died on 25 September after catching the disease in Sierra Leone.
In other developments,
Thomas Duncan, 42, tested positive in Dallas, Texas, 10 days after arriving from his native Liberia.
He became ill a few days after arriving in the US. Even after going to hospital and telling medical staff he had been in Liberia, he was sent home with antibiotics.
Peter Piot, one of the scientists who discovered Ebola in 1976, has told the BBC more must be done to stop the spread of the virus, saying he never imagined an outbreak "could have got to this point".

The cap forms part of a protective hood covering the head and neck. It offers medical workers an added layer of protection, ensuring that they cannot touch any part of their face whilst in the treatment centre.
Goggles, or eye visors, are used to provide cover to the eyes, protecting them from splashes. The goggles are sprayed with an anti-fogging solution before being worn. On October 21, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced stringent new guidelines for healthcare personnel who may be dealing with Ebola patients. In the new guidelines, health workers are advised to use a single use disposable full face shield as goggles may not provide complete skin coverage.
Covers the mouth to protect from sprays of blood or body fluids from patients. When wearing a respirator, the medical worker must tear this outer mask to allow the respirator through.
A respirator is worn to protect the wearer from a patient's coughs. According to guidelines from the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the respirator should be put on second, right after donning the overalls.
A surgical scrub suit, durable hospital clothing that absorbs liquid and is easily cleaned, is worn as a baselayer underneath the overalls. It is normally tucked into rubber boots to ensure no skin is exposed.
The overalls are placed on top of the scrubs. These suits are similar to hazardous material (hazmat) suits worn in toxic environments. The team member supervising the process should check that the equipment is not damaged.
A minimum two sets of gloves are required, covering the suit cuff. When putting on the gloves, care must be taken to ensure that no skin is exposed and that they are worn in such a way that any fluid on the sleeve will run off the suit and glove. Medical workers must change gloves between patients, performing thorough hand hygiene before donning a new pair. Heavy duty gloves are used whenever workers need to handle infectious waste.
A waterproof apron is placed on top of the overalls as a final layer of protective clothing.
Ebola health workers typically wear rubber boots, with the scrubs tucked into the footwear. If boots are unavailable, workers must wear closed, puncture and fluid-resistant shoes.
Things looked rosy for the Reds when Juan Mata pounced on Antonio Valencia's deflected cross to give them an early lead from close range.
But poor marking allowed Jack Rodwell - making his home debut - to head in Seb Larsson's corner after half an hour.
To add to United's troubles, Ashley Young was booked for diving.
The winger, criticised for going down too easily by former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, fell in the area following a challenge from ex-United defender Wes Brown, and referee Martin Atkinson had no hesitation in reaching for his pocket.
Before the match, Van Gaal said United would need a "miracle" to win the Premier League, and there was further evidence on Sunday to add weight to his gloomy prediction following last weekend's 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City.

The Dutchman, who took over in the summer, persisted with a 3-4-1-2 formation and, while his side look bright going forward, they remained fragile at the back.
Angel Di Maria, the Real Madrid winger, is expected to arrive before the transfer window closes on 1 September for a British record fee, but Van Gaal may seek further reinforcements.
Mata's 17th-minute strike failed to settle the visitors and their nervy backline was given a warning when Connor Wickham turned on a throw in yards of space and shot wide.
United were exposed moments later when Rodwell, whose opportunities were limited at Manchester City before his summer move to the Stadium of Light, beat Valencia at the near post to power a header past David De Gea.

United, without ineligible new signing Marcos Rojo, lost defender Chris Smalling to a hamstring injury to add to an injury list that now features eight first-team players, including midfielder Ander Herrera.
In a second half high on energy but low on quality, Wickham volleyed at youngster Tyler Blackett, who saw the ball rebound past De Gea's near post.
Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone had to be quick off his line to deny Young as both sides pressed for a winner in a tense finale.
The Black Cats have not beaten United in a Premier League match at home since 1997, but there were several positives for manager Gus Poyet after a vibrant performance.
Winger Will Buckley, signed from Brighton in the summer, was a constant menace, while Rodwell's goal was a welcome reward for 63 minutes' action following his unsuccessful spell at Etihad Stadium.
Sunderland manager Gus Poyet: "It was a good game to watch. We played a very good first half, going forward taking chances and creating half opportunities after conceding at what was the wrong time really because we were in control of the game. It was a big effort.
"We made a few decisions on how to play against a different system and the boys have done exceptionally well. We showed that we were organised and difficult to play against.
"The goal from Jack Rodwell was perfect for a home debut. There are plenty of positives. It's important we started better than last year and that was key. Will Buckley played well and was incisive as well."
On Fabio Borini, the Liverpool target, who has been offered a Sunderland contract: "We're getting close to a final decision either way because it's been a bit too long.
"It's time now that it's a 'yes' coming or a 'no' as we need to move on."

The 31-year-old world number 309 birdied the first two holes and two of the last three to reach seven under with US Open champion Dustin Johnson.
World number one Jason Day had six bogeys in a 76 and is eight shots back.
The cut came at two over, one too many for England's Matthew Fitzpatrick, while Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell finished seven over after a 76.
Johnson, the world number two who shared the overnight lead with List after an opening 66, had an early tee time on another hot, dry day at the Glen Abbey Golf Club.
He started at the 10th hole and bogeyed the 11th, double-bogeyed 12 and bogeyed the par-five 13th but later compiled six birdies in nine holes in his 71.
"The wind today almost feels like it's a little bit heavier and it's affecting the ball a little bit more, and it's a little bit different direction," said the long-hitting American, who was tied for ninth at last week's Open Championship.

List, who dropped three shots in four holes midway through his round, is in his ninth season on the PGA Tour and has yet to record a victory, but has secured two top-10 finishes this year.
Two birdies at the par fives towards the end of the round kept him in contention and he said: "I'm real happy the way I finished up."
Johnson and List have a one-shot advantage over a group of three including amateur Jared du Toit, bidding to become the first Canadian to win the event since 1954.

Bijan Ebrahimi was beaten to death and his body set alight on a Bristol estate amid false claims he was a paedophile.
A BBC investigation has found he asked the city council on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis to find him a new home but was given an Asbo in 2010.
The council said a report into the case was being published.
Mr Ebrahimi, a council house tenant, suffered constant abuse at the hands of his neighbours and had already been moved from another part of the area.
But the abuse continued at his final home in Capgrave Crescent, where he was killed by Lee James.
The BBC has learned he was given an Asbo in 2010 as he was viewed as the nuisance, according to the IPCC.
However, with the support of the SARI (Stand Against Racism & Inequality) charity in Bristol and the Avon and Bristol Law Centre, the Asbo was overturned.
Bristol City Council insist that Mr Ebrahimi was issued with an injunction based on anti-social behaviour which they say was "set aside" when Mr Ebrahimi agreed to give "an undertaking to be of good behaviour".
The BBC also spoke to one neighbour who supported Mr Ebrahimi in getting his Asbo lifted.
The woman, who has declined to be named, said his repeated calls for help from the council were "ignored".
She said he faced "death threats, his cat was abused and he had faeces left on his doorstep".
"No action was ever taken against those residents," she said.
She added that she felt scared living in this part of Brislington and was also affected by racism, with her daughter once threatened with a baseball bat.
Bristol City Council says it is investigating its treatment of Mr Ebrahimi, an Iranian refugee.
No report has been published since his death four years ago but the council said one would be released in the coming months.
The council added it had not been able to talk about the report due to legal reasons.
Mr Ebrahimi's family, who said the delay "could be seen by some as a cover-up", are considering taking a civil prosecution against the council.
Last week, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said Mr Ebrahimi reported death threats and racial abuse for seven years.
The report stated he had been treated "consistently differently from his neighbours" in what could be "racial bias, conscious or unconscious".
PC Kevin Duffy and PCSO Andrew Passmore were jailed last year for misconduct over their dealings with Mr Ebrahimi. They and two other police officers were also dismissed from the Avon and Somerset force.
Regarding the Asbo, the IPCC report states: "PC Duffy used his knowledge of Mr Ebrahimi and the latter's reports to the police, as the basis for a statement he wrote in September 2010 to support a Bristol City Council Anti-social Behaviour Order application against Mr Ebrahimi.
"PC Duffy asserted that he had compiled the statement from his personal knowledge and from researching police computer systems.
"From analysing this statement and comparing it with the information held by the force on its incident logs, it is apparent [in the opinion of the investigator] that, in short, PC Duffy misrepresented, was misleading about, and did not accurately reflect the contact between Mr Ebrahimi and the force between 2007 and 2010."
The Jordanian wants to replace the suspended president of world football's governing body in February's election.
But after Blatter, 79, and Uefa president Michel Platini, 60, were suspended, Fifa is expected to discuss postponing the vote.
Prince Ali said that would "tell the world lessons haven't been learned".
Swiss Blatter and Frenchman Platini, a Fifa vice-president, are both appealing against their 90-day suspensions.
General secretary Jerome Valcke is also suspended. All three deny any wrongdoing.
Confederation of African Football boss Issa Hayatou is interim Fifa president. Platini maintains he will still stand for election on 26 February to replace Blatter.
Prince Ali said: "With Fifa's crisis deepening, the organisation needs to move beyond interim leadership and elect an accountable president.
"Delaying the scheduled election would only postpone needed change and create further instability. It would tell the world that lessons haven't been learned, that the same backroom deals that have discredited Fifa in the first place continue."
Fifa's emergency meeting is being held on 20 October in Zurich.
The governing body's ethics committee began its investigation after the Swiss attorney general opened criminal proceedings against Blatter in September.
He is accused of signing a contract "unfavourable" to Fifa and making a "disloyal payment" to Platini.
The ethics committee also opened an inquiry into Platini over the 2m euros (£1.35m) payment, which was made nine years after the former France footballer carried out consultation work for Blatter.
Chris Hopson told the BBC's Andrew Marr programme that "something has to give" and there should be a debate about which services to sacrifice "rather than pretend the gap doesn't exist".
Figures show waiting times and delayed hospital discharges at record levels.
The government says it is giving NHS England the £10bn it asked for.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has called for a "seven-day NHS" since 2015 after his department concluded that there was a "clear link between poorer outcomes for patients and uneven service provision at the weekend".
Introducing a seven-day NHS also formed part of the Conservative Party's manifesto, and its based on data which suggests that patients are 16% more likely to die if they are admitted on a Sunday compared with a Wednesday.
However, the reasons for this have been contested, and medical professionals agree that people who arrive in hospitals at weekends tend to be sicker than those who do so during the week.
NHS Providers, the organisation that represents hospitals in England, says unless urgent funding is provided it will have to cut staff, bring in charges or introduce "draconian rationing" of treatment, for example, of non-urgent operations.
It highlights that 80% of England's acute hospitals are in financial deficit, compared with 5% three years ago - while missed A&E waiting time targets have risen from 10% to 90%.
Is enough being spent on the NHS?
NHS weekend: 7-day services explained
Seven-day NHS - claims and counter claims
Mr Hopson said the NHS was under the "greatest pressure that we've been for a generation".
He added: "Jeremy Hunt and others have made a very strong case for seven-day services, but it seems to us it's impossible on the current level of staff and the current money we have available."
By Nick Triggle, BBC health correspondent
On almost every measure, the last few years has seen a decline in performance in the NHS in England (although the rest of the UK is not immune to this either).
That should not come as a surprise. Overall the last five years has seen the tightest financial settlement in the history of the NHS.
To stem the decline, ministers agreed 2016-17 would see the biggest cash injection - nearly 4% above inflation - since the Labour years.
The jury is still out over whether that will have an impact. But even if it does the following years will see much smaller rises so the fear is any respite will only be short-term.
Yes there is a productivity drive, but it is the most ambitious one ever set. Most observers believe it would be amazing if it was achieved in full.
And that's before the seven-day initiative is even factored in.
So that leaves the government with three choices: Put more money in, accept a further decline in standards or cut back on what the NHS does. None of them are particularly palatable for the government.
Is enough being spent on the NHS?
Mr Hopson also said the numbers of hospitals in deficit, and the missed waiting times for A&E, showed there was "clearly a system-level problem - it's not a problem of poor management".
People on the front line in the NHS were saying that they "cannot provide the right quality of care, and meet the performance standards, on the money that's available".
Mr Hopson said he wanted to see the seven-day NHS idea abandoned, and more money put into the NHS through general taxation.
But he added that the NHS's chairs and chief executives were "absolutely signed up" to deliver "stretching savings targets, and stretching productivity".
His warning comes days before the Commons Health Select Committee will decide whether to launch a special inquiry into the state of the NHS in England and two months before the government announces its spending plans in the Autumn Statement.
In July more than 50 hospitals in England were given the go-ahead to miss key waiting time targets this year to help ease their financial problems.
Fines for missing targets in A&E, cancer and routine operations have also been scrapped altogether and a new failure regime is being set up for the worst-performing trusts.
The Vale of York trust considered suspending non-urgent treatment for obese patients and smokers for a year in order to ease financial pressures before bosses intervened.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd rejected Mr Hopson's suggestion that a seven-day NHS was impossible to deliver.
"The health secretary and the government consulted with [NHS Chief Executive] Simon Stevens and asked him about what scale of money was necessary - we've delivered on that money," she told Andrew Marr.
But Chris Ham, chief executive of the King's Fund think tank, said the government should heed "warning signs" and not wait for a "full scale crisis to develop".
He added: "It is simply not realistic to expect hard-pressed staff to deliver new commitments like seven-day services while also meeting waiting time targets and reducing financial deficits."
Diane Abbott MP, shadow health secretary, said: "Years of Tory underfunding of the NHS has made it is impossible to provide the right quality of service and meet performance targets.
"The government needs to properly fund the NHS if it is to function properly. This is what Labour would do."
In June, Northern Ireland Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said its health service was to receive an extra £72m to help deal with pressures in the service, bringing the total additional funding for health to £200m in 2016-17.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced in June that minimum staffing levels in Scotland's NHS are to be enshrined in law.
And Welsh Assembly Finance Minister Jane Hutt announced last December that the NHS would be getting a net boost of £278m under the Welsh government's spending plans for 2016-17.
Gael Nofri said that in 2012 the National Front (FN) had recruited him into Ms Le Pen's presidential campaign team, using a fictitious European Parliament (EP) contract.
It was apparently a way for the FN to avoid declaring campaign spending.
The FN is already under investigation for alleged misuse of EP funds.
Polls suggest that Ms Le Pen is on course to win the first round of the presidential election in April, but centrist Emmanuel Macron is gaining ground and looks likely to beat her in the May runoff vote.
A Figaro/LCI poll on Sunday put Mr Macron on 58% in the runoff, against 42% for Ms Le Pen.
Quoted by French media, Mr Nofri said he had signed up to work for Ms Le Pen in September 2011.
"In 2012 I was told: 'there is a problem, we have to do it via a European Parliament contract' - I refused," he said.
Mr Nofri is now a municipal councillor in Nice with the centre-right Republicans party, having severed his links to the FN.
Later in 2012, he said, he was given a contract to work with FN accountant Nicolas Crochet, but he "never set foot" in Mr Crochet's office.
The French news website Mediapart says fraud investigators have found evidence of €4,500 (£3,834; $4,763) in monthly payments to Mr Nofri from 2012, identifying him as a European Parliament assistant to MEP Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine's father and the former FN leader.
"I was never Jean-Marie Le Pen's assistant," he said.
At least three other FN associates of Marine Le Pen are under French judicial investigation: Catherine Griset, Frederic Chatillon and her bodyguard Thierry Legier.
Ms Le Pen has refused a police interview about her alleged misuse of EU funds - a right that she has because of parliamentary immunity.
She denies wrongdoing and claims that the allegations are a plot to derail her campaign.
One of her election rivals, Republicans' candidate Francois Fillon, is embroiled in a separate financial scandal involving suspicious payments made to his wife and children.
Lorrain de Saint-Affrique, an aide to Jean-Marie Le Pen quoted by Mediapart, insisted that Mr Nofri had indeed worked for Mr Le Pen "as a local assistant".
The European Parliament alleges that more than €300,000 (£257,000; $321,000) of its funding was misspent by the FN.
On Sunday Ms Le Pen addressed a campaign rally in the western city of Nantes, hours after anti-FN demonstrators clashed with police.
There were an estimated 2,000-3,000 protesters and 12 police officers were injured in the unrest. Video showed masked protesters running through tear gas and riot police confronting them. Flares were thrown and a policeman's trouser leg caught fire. Colleagues extinguished the flames but he suffered serious burns.
A run of two wins in nine matches has left Hibs behind Falkirk in the race for second spot in the Championship.
But with promotion still up for grabs and a Scottish Cup final to look forward to, McGinn believes this could prove to be a special season for Hibs.
"It will give us a great feeling at the end of the season if we can ram the words down people's throats," he said.
The phrase "Hibsing it" - meaning to throw away a favourable position - has been prevalent on social media among rival fans this season, and McGinn admits it riles him.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Our character can't be doubted over the course of the season," said the midfielder, who made his Scotland debut against Denmark last month.
"We ignore it to an extent but then it gives us something to inspire us and be successful."
McGinn and team-mate Jason Cummings are among the nominees for the Championship Player of the Year award.
Cummings says the feeling the Hibs players experienced after losing the League Cup final to Ross County is spurring them on to make sure they do not finish the season empty-handed.
"The boys after getting beat in the League Cup final don't want to feel like that again," said Cummings, who has scored 24 goals in all competitions for Hibs this season.
"So, I think we're going into the Scottish Cup final [against Rangers] just to give everything.
"We're still in good stead for promotion. I think we're still favourites. Everyone's still confident."
But the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld other guilty verdicts against Sister Megan Rice, 85, and two others for damaging government property.
It ordered a lower court to give them new sentences.
Rice was jailed for nearly three years for entering the Oak Ridge facility in Tennessee, which stores uranium.
The other two protesters, Michael Walli and Greg Boertje-Obed, were each sentenced to more than five years in prison.
The July 2012 incident prompted security changes at the Y-12 site.
The panel of the appeals court in Nashville, Tennessee, overturned the sabotage convictions of the three peace activists - members of the group Transform Now Plowshares - in a 2-1 ruling.
During their trial last year, Walli and Boertje-Obed received tougher sentences because they had longer criminal histories.
The trio were also found guilty of causing more than $1,000 (£647) of damage to government property.
After cutting a fence to enter the site, they walked around, spray-painted graffiti, strung out crime-scene tape and chipped a wall with hammers.
They spent two hours inside.
The trio also sprayed the exterior of the complex with baby bottles containing human blood.
When a guard approached, they offered him food and started singing.
At the trial, Sister Megan said her only regret was waiting so long to stage her protest. "It is manufacturing that which can only cause death," she said.
US lawmakers and the Department of Energy later launched an inquiry and uncovered "troubling displays of ineptitude" at the facility.
Top officials were reassigned, including at the National Nuclear Security Administration.
WSI, the company providing security at the site, was dismissed and other officers were sacked, demoted or suspended.
The 42-year-old was found with "significant" injuries in Greenend Avenue at about 10:45 on Saturday.
Police believe he was killed after a disturbance when someone came to his door in the early hours.
They have appealed for anyone with information or who saw anything suspicious to come forward.
Det Ch Insp Raymond Brown said: "We know that there was a disturbance at Mr Quail's home in Greenend Avenue, Johnstone around 0050 hours on Saturday 25 February 2017 and extensive inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances.
"Greenend Avenue is in a busy residential area and it may well be that local residents or those in the area may have seen people acting suspiciously.
"I believe that the answer to this murder inquiry lies in the local community and I am in no doubt that there are people out there with vital information regarding this incident, who have not yet spoken to police."
He added: "A man has lost his life and it is critical to this investigation that anyone who has information, no matter how insignificant it may appear to them, contact the inquiry team who are based at Helen Street Police Office through 101."
Mark Williams told a BBC Wales debate that people should have the right to have their say over the Brexit deal.
He also said the Lib Dems would not go into coalition with Labour or the Conservatives.
"No coalition with Mr Corbyn. No coalition with Mrs May", he said.
Speaking on Ask the Leader, he said: "Theresa May is asking for a blank cheque.
"I don't think many of you would give someone a blank cheque if you didn't have some indication of what the outcome would look like".
"The country voted for departure but the destination is unclear and that's why I believe the country should have the vote," he told a studio audience in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent - a county which voted to Leave the EU.
He acknowledged that MPs would have a say but believed voters should as well.
Mr Williams told the programme: "What the public need to reflect on is whether that vote should be for one for politicians alone or for yourself.
"I believe that if democracy started the process, and the country did speak, and democracy should end the process as well.
"I don't think that we can understate the enormity of the decision that is before us."
After the vote to leave the EU, many might have expected the Lib Dems to position themselves as the main opposition to the Conservatives on Brexit.
The party campaigned heavily for Britain to remain a member of the EU - if this election is about Brexit, surely the Lib Dems will be able to pick up a number of votes from those who voted to remain?
Also, the party would be hoping to win over voters disillusioned with the current turmoil in the Labour Party. Unfortunately for the Lib Dems, the hoped-for fight back has not materialised.

The alliance said it must adapt to the mixture of conventional military tactics, subversive campaigns and cyber-warfare that Russia was using in Ukraine.
Nato says that Russia is backing rebels in Ukraine - a claim denied by Moscow.
Three Baltic countries are preparing to ask for a permanent presence of Nato troops on their soil to act as a deterrent to the Russian military.
"Hybrid warfare combines different types of threats, including conventional, subversion and cyber," said Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg.
"When the world has changed, Nato has to adapt," he added.
Speaking after a meeting of defence ministers in Turkey, Mr Stoltenberg said that a more assertive Russia had been using force to change borders and intimidate its neighbours.
The two-day conference was also attended by EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini. Nato has said that it will look to increase its co-operation and intelligence sharing with the EU.
"We will ensure that the strategies we are developing are complementary, so that we can work together quickly and effectively in the case of a hybrid threat against any of our members," said Mr Stoltenberg.
In another development, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have said they are preparing to ask Nato to station one troop battalion in each country.
Lithuanian Army spokesman Capt Mindaugas Neimontas said that the request would be made in a joint letter later this week.
"It is necessary because of the security situation," he told The Associated Press news agency. "It's not getting better in our region, so it will be a deterrent."
There is growing concern over increased military activity from Russia.
On Thursday, RAF fighter jets were scrambled after two Russian military aircraft were seen flying towards UK airspace.
Nato forces have also stepped up military exercises, especially in eastern European nations.
The alliance is conducting its largest ever anti-submarine warfare exercise in the North Sea, off the coast of Norway.
The West has criticised Russia for annexing the Crimean peninsula and has accused Russia of arming rebels in the east of Ukraine.
More than 6,000 people have been killed in fighting which began in April 2014 between Ukrainian government forces and rebels in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
The lull in the conflict in eastern Ukraine since February's ceasefire has been punctuated by frequent violations, and on Tuesday Ukraine said three of its soldiers had been killed in the past 24 hours.
Phillip Potter, 19, of Dauntsey, Wiltshire has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Matthew Gordon, 29, from Dauntsey, has been charged with aiding and abetting and one count of dangerous driving.
Mitzi Steady, four, Phil Allen, 52, Stephen Vaughan, 34, and Robert Parker, 59, all died in the crash.
Mitzi was walking with her grandmother on Lansdown Lane, Bath, when she was hit by the truck. The three others victims, from Swansea and Cwmbran were in a taxi.
Mr Potter and Mr Gordon have been released on bail to appear before Bath Magistrates' Court in January.
Emergency services were called to Muscle Junction on Glasgow Road, Barrhead, just after 23:00 on Saturday.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said there had been a fire and "small explosion" at the store.
The entire front of the shop was blown off in the blast, but police said no-one had been injured.
An investigation into the explosion is being carried out by the fire service.
Gail Purcell is charged with causing death by careless driving following a collision with Michael Mason, 70, on Regents Street, London, in 2014.
The 58-year-old from St Albans, Herts, pleaded not guilty at the Old Bailey.
The Cyclists' Defence Fund raised £60,000 from 1,500 donations to pursue the action.
Mr Mason died 19 days after the collision having never regained consciousness from his injuries.
Police had declined to refer the case to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Private prosecutions can be brought by any individual or organisation and proceed in exactly the same way as those brought by the CPS.
Before proceeding with a prosecution, the CPS will consider if the case is in the public interest and if there is sufficient evidence to secure a conviction.
Ms Purcell will face a six-day trial on 3 April and was granted unconditional bail.
There have been eight UK documented cases of the H5N8 strain of the infection, including in Llanelli and Pontyberem.
It led to an avian flu prevention zone being extended to all of Wales.
But NFU Cymru is among four farming unions calling for the 12-week free-range status to be extended.
The prevention zone is in place until 28 February 2017 and includes measures such as keeping poultry and other captive birds indoors or separate from wild birds.
But the presidents of the four UK farming unions - including NFU Cymru - have called for free-range status to be extended "until the risk has subsided to previous levels".
"The UK market will, without doubt, be one of the most affected countries as a result of bird flu, due to half of our national flock being free-range, by far the highest percentage of any member state," the UK Farming Union Presidents said in a statement.
Yet the British Free Range Egg Producers Association said the restrictions were necessary.
Its chief executive Robert Gooch told BBC Radio Cymru's Taro'r Post programme: "This is a situation that is not of farmers' making. It will be seen as a necessary step to protect production of free range eggs.
"We would urge all poultry keepers, regardless of their size, to follow the rules of the housing order and for good biosecurity protocols to be followed at all times."
Englishman Garner, 28, has scored 57 goals in 148 appearances since joining the Championship club in 2013.
The forward could make his Rangers debut against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Friday evening.
Preston said on their official Twitter account: "We're yet to receive the paperwork but expect the deal to be completed over the weekend."
But Garner, who was paraded at Ibrox Park ahead of a 2-1 win over Motherwell on Saturday, is not expecting any last-minute hitches.
"It's fantastic to be here and to have got it over the line," he said. "Now it's done, I'm really looking forward to it.
"It was a great finish to the game today, a great atmosphere and I'm sure the lads will be buzzing in the dressing-room.
"If you look at the history of the club, it's obviously massive.
"When I was driving in with my family, you could get a sense of how much they love their football up here.
"I've been brought in to score goals and hopefully pick up points and trophies along the way."
Garner was left out of Preston's side as they lost 1-0 at home to Derby County on Tuesday after Rangers submitted their bid.
Rangers manager Mark Warburton was delighted to add to his striking options along with Kenny Miller, Martyn Waghorn and summer signing Joe Dodoo.
"We've been chasing him for a while," he said. "He comes in with a real edge to his play and offers us something a bit different.
"We've now got four strikers with Joe, Kenny, Martyn Waghorn and Joe Dodoo, so we've got some real options now up front."
Garner has previously played for Carlisle United, Nottingham Forest, Huddersfield Town, Scunthorpe United and Watford, scoring over 100 goals since 2006.
He has bipolar disorder. It is a condition in which suicidal thoughts and attempts to take your own life are common themes.
There are suggestions that at least a quarter and maybe even half of patients make at least one attempt.
Deaths from suicide are higher in people with bipolar disorder. A study following 2.5 million people in Denmark for four decades showed the scale of the issue.
During that time, 8% of the male bipolar patients and 5% of the female patients died by suicide, compared with 0.7% and 0.3% in the general population.
"It is a big problem unfortunately, the risk is higher than for all the major psychiatric illnesses," said Suzanne Hudson, the chief executive of Bipolar UK.
Bipolar disorder seriously affects mood. There are bouts of mania and depression.
People can go from phases of extreme happiness and creativity to severe depression, including suicidal thoughts.
During his interview, Stephen Fry said: "I am the victim of my own moods, more than most people are perhaps, in as much as I have a condition which requires me to take medication so that I don't get either too hyper or too depressed to the point of suicide."
Ms Hudson said the suicide risk was a "reflection of the extreme mood swings".
"You can fall as low as suicidal depression, but there is also a risk after hypermania when you start to come down and there's a realisation that you're cycling down."
The disorder affects one in 100 people and generally appears in the late teens and early 20s.
Disrupted levels of chemicals in the brain may cause the symptoms of bipolar disorder, but the exact cause is unknown.
Part of the answer is genetic. There is a strong family link, you are more likely to develop bipolar disorder if a close family member has the condition.
Dr Daniel Smith, from the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the University of Glasgow, said drugs and alcohol use contributed to the "dramatic difference" in suicide rates.
"The main problem is it is essentially a depressive illness interspersed with mania or hypomania.
"A major contributor to suicide rates is substance misuse, some struggle with alcohol or drugs, and it is a toxic mixture really in terms of risk factors."
There is no cure for bipolar disorder, but treatments can make it easier to live with the condition.
Daily and long-term mood stabilisers, such as lithium, can reduce the frequency of episodes of mania and depression. There are also specific drugs to tackle the symptoms during an episode.
Psychological treatments to help patients deal with depression and lifestyle advice, around diet and exercise, can also help.
Stephen Fry, who is also president of the charity Mind, said: "The whole point in my role, as I see it, is not to be shy... about the morbidity and genuine nature of the likelihood of death amongst people with certain mood disorders."
He said there was "no reason" for someone wanting to take their own life.
"There is no 'why', it's not the right question. There's no reason. If there were a reason for it, you could reason someone out of it, and you could tell them why they shouldn't take their own life," he said.
The huge blast ripped through HMS Bulwark in the Medway Estuary shortly after dawn on 26 November 1914.
Conducting a remembrance service earlier, naval chaplain the Reverend Bernard Clarke, described it a "terrible tragedy".
Cordite charges are believed to have caused the blast.
The explosion was so cataclysmic parts of Bulwark were hurled up to six miles and the pier at Southend shook.
Personal effects were reported raining down on the town of Sheerness.
Bodies were still being washed up on the Kent coast two months after the disaster.
Navy investigators at the time quickly discounted theories of a U-boat attack or a Zeppelin raid and focused on ammunition stored in cross-passages.
It is thought cordite charges left next to a boiler bulkhead ignited and caused the blast.
The wrecked segments of the port and starboard bow remain on the Medway seabed.
The remembrance ceremony was held at HMS Excellent where a plaque commemorates the loss of the 15-strong HMS Excellent Royal Marines Band in the tragedy.
Mr Clarke said: "The ceremony was all about marking this terrible tragedy and reflecting on the wider sacrifices made by not only the Royal Marines Band Service but the wider naval family and the whole of humanity during the First World War."
O'Halloran held talks with Lions head coach Warren Gatland over the prospect of working with Rob Howley as a secondary attack coach.
But the Kiwi has opted to focus instead on pre-season with Glasgow, whom he will join at the end of the season.
It follows Gregor Townsend's decision to turn down a role on the Lions staff.
The Warriors head coach, who will replace Vern Cotter as Scotland coach at the end of the season, chose to decline Gatland's invitation to join his back-room team in favour of leading the Scots on their summer tour of Australia.
England forwards coach Steve Borthwick, interim Wales head coach Rob Howley (attack) and Ireland defence coach Andy Farrell have already been confirmed as assistants to Gatland for the three-Test tour next June and July.
O'Halloran is thought to have been tempted by the possibility of a role with the Lions, but felt his Glasgow commitments made it an impossibility.
The New Zealander will work under Townsend's successor Dave Rennie at Warriors, but his compatriot's delayed arrival in Glasgow means O'Halloran and fellow assistant Jonathan Humphreys - also making the move from the national coaching staff to Scotstoun - will effectively have to lead the club's early pre-season schedule.
Depending on the progress of his current side Waikato Chiefs, Rennie could be tied up in New Zealand until 5 August when the Super Rugby final is played.
Gatland spoke on Tuesday about the importance of having a Scottish coach on his staff next summer, and hinted that a lack of Scottish representation could negatively impact their players' chances of making his squad to take on the All Blacks.
"The ideal scenario from my point of view would be having someone from Scotland to give some representation, to push the Scottish cause, to push some of their players," he told BBC Wales.
"That's important. Someone from within the Scottish system will know their players a lot better than we do, they'll know the characters and the individuals and potentially push them on a 50/50 decision.
"My ideal scenario would be to have someone from Scotland. If that happens, that would be great."
With Townsend rejecting an offer to join the tour and O'Halloran ruling himself out of contention, that possibility now appears remote.
Speaking about the possibility of adding further specialist coaches, Gatland added: "I've got one or two people in mind. Hopefully, that can get sorted out early in the New Year.
"I'd spoken to a couple of people originally and they'd made themselves unavailable, which was disappointing but I understand and respect the decisions they've made and the focus that they wanted to have."
The defending World Cup champion tested positive for the steroid clostebol.
The Norwegian ski federation said the substance had come from a lip cream.
"The fact that she has been suspended means she has some degree of fault,'' the attorney for the Norwegian Anti-Doping Agency said.
"Which degree of fault is what we will now investigate."
Johaug said she would not appeal against the decision and would instead focus on "working for a full acquittal".
The suspension means Johaug will miss the start of the World Cup season.
The Norwegian ski federation said the steroid had been in a lotion given to her by team doctor Fredrik Bendiksen to treat sunburn on her lips during high-altitude training in August.
The team doctor has since resigned, describing the violation as his "personal mistake as a doctor".
The Norwegian Anti-Doping Agency is investigating the case further and will determine the appropriate penalty for both Johaug and Bendiksen.
Under international anti-doping rules the seven-time world champion could face between a two-month suspension and a four-year ban.
Johaug's anti-doping violation comes three months after Norway's top male cross-country skiier and 2014 Sochi Olympic bronze medallist Martin Johnsrud Sundby was given a two-month suspension after testing positive for salbutamol, an asthma medication.
Norway have dominated men's and women's cross-country skiing in recent years, winning 11 medals at the last Winter Olympics, including five golds.
Politicians debated the piece of legislation in the Northern Ireland Assembly for two days.
Amendments tabled by the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), SDLP and the Green Party were defeated.
The bill is due to be discussed again in the assembly in two weeks' time.
It is thought that then, the legislation will be amended to give the Department of Social Development (DSD) the authority to set up schemes to protect people who would lose money because of changes to benefits.
More than £0.5bn is expected to go towards five schemes to help with these changes.
The fire started on the 22nd floor of the 32-storey Cleveland Tower, Holloway Head in Birmingham.
It is understood 750 people live in the tower although no one was injured. Smoke has affected the building from the 15th floor to the top of the building.
Police are treating Saturday's fire as arson with intent to endanger life.
See more stories from Birmingham and the Black Country here
Area Commander Ben Brook, of West Midlands Fire Service, said following last month's fire at Grenfell Tower in London the Cleveland Tower incident was shocking for everyone concerned.
He said: "It is important that lobbies, stairwells and communal areas are kept free of clutter and combustible materials."
Some Cleveland Tower residents said communal areas are often left cluttered.
Others said they did not hear any smoke alarms go off, with one man, who said he lived a few floors below the fire, saying he found out about it through social media.
A spokesperson from WM Housing, a housing group which looks after the building, said that they operate a "keep communal areas clear policy" and has a concierge that will arrange for anything left in communal areas to be removed immediately.
The building has no central fire alarm, it said, or smoke alarms in communal areas apart from where the bins are kept, but smoke alarms are provided in all of their flats.
Residents are responsible for changing smoke alarm batteries.
Mr Holder called the increase in overdose deaths "nothing less than a public health crisis".
Some state and local law enforcement groups, including the New York Police Department, already require officers to carry the drug while on patrol.
Naloxone works by reversing the effects of opioid drugs for about 30 minutes.
The delay gives emergency medical workers enough time to reach an overdose victim.
"I am confident that expanding the availability of naloxone has the potential to save the lives, families and futures of countless people across the nation," Mr Holder said while announcing the policy to a law enforcement conference.
Twenty-five states have approved the use of the drug either as an inhalant or an injection.
Though some critics say the drug enables addicts, it has become adopted by cities and states as heroin use surges.
In the US, heroin overdoses increased 45% between 2006-2010, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
In New York City, police began carrying $60 (£36) kits, which contain two syringes and two inhalers of naloxone, in May. The kits have a shelf-life of two years.
New York state attorney general Eric Schneiderman said police carrying naloxone in state's Suffolk County saved 563 lives in 2013.
A similar programme in Quincy, Massachusetts, was the first to require officers to carry naloxone. Since autumn 2010, the department's officers have used the treatment 221 times and successfully reversed 211 overdoses.
Researchers set out to put a value on the ecological importance of the arachnids.
They say their appetite for prey means they consume approximately the same amount as the weight of meat and fish eaten every year by humans.
The findings are published in the journal the Science of Nature.
Dr Martin Nyffeler, the University of Basel scientist who led this study, was inspired by a 1958 book called The World of Spiders, in which a British arachnologist author William Bristowe speculated that the weight of insects killed each year by the British spider population exceeded the combined weight of the British human population.
Since he first considered that, the Swiss arachnologist spent hundreds of hours of recording spider behaviour in the field, and gathering spider ecology studies published around the world.
"These 40 years of gathering experience - spending thousands of hours dealing with spider prey capture rates and prey selection - was needed to be able to write this paper on the global annual prey kill of the spiders," he said in an email.
After these four decades of data-gathering, he had enough information to work out how much the eight-legged creatures consumed.
His numbers are enough to haunt any arachnophobe; Dr Nyffeler says the entire population of the world's spiders - weighing 25 million tonnes - hunts and eats between 400 million and 800 million tonnes of insect prey annually.
But these numbers are not meant to terrify anyone, the scientists hope their study will raise awareness of the importance of spiders in the global food web.
"Spiders kill large numbers of herbivorous insects - and by doing so they help to protect the plants from herbivore damage," said Dr Nyffeler.
"They serve as food for thousands of arthropod-eating animals - an estimated 8,000-10,000 specialised insect species and many passerine birds (an estimated 3,000-5,000 species) feed on spiders."

Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador and Jamaica recommended to delay pregnancies until more was known about the mosquito-borne Zika virus.
This followed an outbreak in Brazil.
Brazil said the number of babies born with suspected microcephaly - or abnormally small heads - had reached nearly 4,000 since October.
Meanwhile, US health authorities have warned pregnant women to avoid travelling to more than 20 countries in the Americas and beyond, where Zika cases have been registered.
The link between microcephaly and Zika has not been confirmed - but a small number of babies who died had the virus in their brain and no other explanation for the surge in microcephaly has been suggested.
The virus is not contagious and normally has flu-like symptoms.

Three Britons infected
In Colombia, Health Minister Alejandro Gaviria urged women to delay pregnancies for up to eight months.
"We are doing this because I believe it's a good way to communicate the risk, to tell people that there could be serious consequences," he was quoted as saying by Reuters.
Similar warnings were issued in Ecuador, El Salvador and Jamaica.
However, women's rights campaigners criticised the recommendations, saying women in the region often had little choice about becoming pregnant.
"It's incredibly naive for a government to ask women to postpone getting pregnant in a context such as Colombia, where more than 50% of pregnancies are unplanned and across the region where sexual violence is prevalent," said Monica Roa, a member of Women's Link Worldwide group.
Forty-nine babies with suspected microcephaly have died, Brazil's health ministry says. In five of these cases an infection with Zika virus was found.
Brazil is experiencing the largest known outbreak of Zika, with most cases in the north-east. Others have been detected in the south-east, an area which includes Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
There has been a sharp rise in the number of cases of Zika in several other Latin American countries.
In Colombia, more than 13,500 cases have been reported.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued initial travel warnings to pregnant women last week, adding eight more places to the list on Friday. The warnings now extend to:
Andrew Tyrie asked why military aspects of the operation were excluded from the probe carried out by the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC).
The PM said the UK was currently engaged in a military operation and the ISC was set up to look at intelligence.
He also defended his claim of 70,000 "non-extremist" moderate Syria forces.
The bad tempered-exchanges with Mr Tyrie came as Mr Cameron was questioned on Syria by the Commons Liaison Committee.
In September, the PM announced that two British Islamic State jihadists, Cardiff-born Reyaad Khan and Ruhul Amin, from Aberdeen, had been killed by a UK drone strike in Syria.
MPs have since voted to authorise UK air strikes in the war-torn country.
Mr Tyrie, who chairs the committee, asked whether the investigation into the strike would be seen as "incomplete" or even "meaningless" if it could not include its military background.
The PM said he did "not agree with this for a moment".
MPs cannot oversee current military operations, he said, telling Mr Tyrie the UK was currently engaged in an operation against a terrorist group that intends to "blow up, kill and maim our citizens".
The strike was "necessary and proportionate", he added.
"That's what is going on," he said, adding that "if you don't think there is a cell of people sitting in a cell in Raqqa who are planning to try and do damage to this country then you don't know what you are talking about".
After the committee meeting, Mr Tyrie released a statement urging the prime minister to change his mind and allow a "proper inquiry".
"On the basis of today's evidence, the Intelligence and Security Committee will not be able to do a thorough job," he said.
Until the ISC can examine military aspects of the strike, he said, it will not be able to reassure Parliament and the public that the strikes were "necessary and proportionate".
Mr Cameron makes regular appearances before the Liaison Committee, which is made up of select committee chairmen.
He was grilled by defence committee chairman Julian Lewis on why he would not provide more details of the 70,000 troops he described as "non-extremist opposition fighters".
The figure had been provided by the Joint Intelligence Committee, he said, and he did not want to give Syrian President Assad a list of the groups he should be targeting.
They are not all "impeccable democrats", he said: "Some do belong to Islamist groups and some belong to relatively hardline Islamist groups."
The PM also said he was prepared to take another look at offers to take in Syrian refugees made by individuals including Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and former Labour minister Yvette Cooper - after home affairs chairman Keith Vaz said they had been rejected as they had "not been cleared".
Cardiff twice took the lead, through Jordon Mutch and Fraizer Campbell.
Suarez levelled after Mutch's opener and Martin Skrtel did the same after Campbell struck.

Skrtel headed another, Daniel Sturridge and Suarez added one each, before Mutch's consolation and Suarez's third.
After twice going behind in the first half, Liverpool underlined their credentials as title contenders by remaining composed and confident against a side battling against the serious threat of relegation.
With most of their fellow strugglers also losing, Cardiff ended the day no worse off than they started at second from bottom.
Feelings among some protesting home fans also remained the same over the club's continued rebrand from blue to red under Malaysian owner Vincent Tan.
With former Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers' side arriving in the Welsh capital on the back of a 3-0 win at Manchester United, the form book was heavily-weighted against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men.
The hosts took the game to Liverpool and were rewarded with Mutch's well-taken opener after former Swansea City midfielder Joe Allen gifted the Cardiff attacker possession.
Mutch's low, left-footed drive gave Simon Mignolet no chance.
Liverpool's response was swift as Suarez latched on to Glen Johnson's cross to beat David Marshall from close range.
The visitors were guilty of giving Mutch too much space in the build-up to Cardiff's second.
Campbell was equally free to gather Mutch's through ball to hit home from almost the identical spot from which Mutch had scored.
Given the gulf in league positions and winning run it was no surprise that Liverpool's confidence remained unshakeable.
And when Brazilian Philippe Coutinho's cross allowed Skrtel to add the deft scoring touch late in the opening period, Cardiff were left to discover whether their self-belief was as well-founded as Liverpool's.
That test became even more stern after Coutinho crossed following a corner for Skrtel to head home his second in the 54th minute.

The Bluebirds were down to nine men at that point as Kevin Theophile-Catherine and Mutch were receiving treatment on the sidelines.
And when Sturridge sent through the pass that allowed Suarez to stylishly add his second, the contest was all-but over.
Johnson then found Suarez, whose pass gave Sturridge the chance to score from close range.
Mutch gave the home side late hope with his header and the announcement of five minutes of added time gave Solskjaer's side another boost.
But when substitute Wilfried Zaha hesitated under a long ball before falling to the floor, Suarez had the time and space to tease home goalkeeper Marshall before putting the finishing touch to Liverpool's impressive display with a hat-trick.
Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:
"We had them exactly where we wanted.
"We tested them defensively and we scored some fantastic goals, and maybe we conceded two poor goals. Liverpool didn't have a lot in the first half, chances wise.
"[Suarez] is a top, top striker. He is on the move all the time. But for long periods, I thought we dealt well with him, especially in the first half."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers:
"[Suarez's] determination, his desire, his will is at such a big level. He is a world-class player who is enjoying his football, and long may it continue.
"The mental resilience is how we've grown over the past 18 months, and that confidence to know we can get back in the game.
"You look at our imagination and creativity today. I think the crowd felt that every time we were in their half, we could score. We've got footballers, technicians, who can open up a game for us."

Mr Ma has insisted he did not break any laws as he was merely fulfilling his duty as head of state.
If found guilty, he may be jailed for up to three years for each charge.
The criminal charges are in addition to a separate legal case relating to the same matter in 2013.
Mr Ma's eight-year presidency ended in 2016, when his Kuomintang party lost to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in last year's general election.
Prosecutors say that Mr Ma ordered that the contents of secretly-recorded phone calls between DPP lawmaker Ker Chien-ming and the parliamentary Speaker be given to other officials.
They said that by giving this order, Mr Ma broke laws on the protection of personal information, release of secrets, and communications security and surveillance.
Mr Ma has argued that he was merely carrying out his responsibilities as president, as the content of those phone calls related to alleged influence-peddling by Mr Ker and the Speaker.
Mr Ma has already appeared in court several times in recent months for a separate lawsuit brought by Mr Ker over the same matter. That case's verdict is set to be announced later this month
His supporters say he is a victim of political score-settling.
Dumbarton Sheriff Court heard that 71-year-old Mary Burke's fake licence was so convincing, she had received penalty points for speeding in 2002.
She pleaded guilty to driving her Mercedes without a licence along with a breach of the Identity Documents Act.
She was fined £750 by Sheriff William Gallacher, who called her actions "utterly wilful".
During a hearing in April, prosecutor David McDonald described how the pensioner, who lives in Dumbarton, had handed over a document she claimed was her licence after being stopped by police during a routine traffic stop in November.
However, when officers later checked it against their database, they discovered she only had an expired provisional licence.
Defence agent Virgil Crawford told Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Friday that his client had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and had been given between six months and two years to live.
Sheriff Gallacher banned her from driving for a year and told her that he would have fined her £1,000 had it not been for her guilty plea.
He added: "You were utterly wilful in relation to your decision to be driving.
"You knew you were not entitled to drive and, in order to protect and preserve a pretence of normality, you had this document in your possession, for some period of time, so you could simply flout the Road Traffic Act."
He said driving tests showed that people had "the experience, quality and ability to drive" but that she ignored it, adding: "You said, 'that doesn't apply to me, I'll just drive anyway'.
"This is a very serious matter."
After leaving court, Mary Burke said she never planned to drive again.

The militants first seized the city early on Monday, pushing security forces back to the airport, from where they had to call on US air strikes to defend their positions, before planning their counter-attack.
Here is how the battle unfolded, in pictures taken by people at the scene.
Although there was fighting on Tuesday and Wednesday, the main operation to recapture the town began as night fell on Wednesday - and is still going on.
Armed Afghan police were also involved in the advance, alongside troops from Kunduz and reinforcements from across Afghanistan.
One of the first signs that the town was falling to government control came as the Afghan flag was pictured flying above the main square again
Posting a picture purportedly from a contact at the scene, Tolo TV presenter Muslim Shirzad credited a young special forces commander named Khalid Amiry with taking down the Taliban flag.
The Taliban raising their own flag there earlier in the week was hugely symbolic - Kunduz was the first provincial capital they had captured since being driven from power by US-led forces in 2001.
The progress of the security forces was seemingly rapid, with several districts quickly appearing to fall to government control.
That was in stark contrast to the situation earlier in the week, when government forces apparently abandoned the town with similar speed.
But government assurances early on Thursday that they were back in control appeared premature, with the Taliban launching their own fightback within hours.
A government spokesman claimed about 200 Taliban fighters had been killed, although the claim could not be immediately verified. Civilians like this man were also caught in the crossfire.
The insurgents used vehicles and weapons seized after their capture of the town, in later battles with government forces. They are also reported to have looted banks during their time in control of the city.
With claims that "thousands" were massed at the airport in advance, troops continued to pour into the city to reinforce those on the front lines.
Remnants of Thursday's battles could be seen around the town.
Parts of Kunduz were on fire. The Taliban were also said to have torched government buildings in preceding days.
After being holed-up in the airport for days, there was relief among government forces that they had regained the initiative even as street battles continued.
A police spokesman in Kunduz claimed the latest fighting was caused by stranded Taliban fighters who have been hiding out in the town. Most residents stayed indoors.
The battles in Kunduz also apparently prompted an anti-Taliban protest in the capital, Kabul, but the repercussions are likely to be far wider, with the Taliban gaining new prestige, and fresh doubts over planned reductions in the number of foreign troops in the country.

Afghan government forces claim they have recaptured most of Kunduz, but there are reports of sporadic gunfire as the Taliban fight back.

Answer: a muscle-bound recipe for complete and utter chaos.
There was little improvement inside Cannes' Carlton Hotel as hundreds of journalists squeezed into its ornately pillared ballroom for a raucous press conference.
Sylvester Stallone took the mayhem in his stride with practised aplomb, though other members of The Expendables 3 cast looked as if they had been caught in the eye of a hurricane.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford completed the quartet of Hollywood stalwarts, with Spain's Antonio Banderas, Sweden's Dolph Lundgren and Britain's Jason Statham fleshing out the film's middle-aged contingent.
Indeed, such was the ratio of hunk to microphone that Wesley Snipes - the Blade actor who recently served a three-year prison term to tax evasion - could barely get a word in.
The atmosphere was one of back-slapping camaraderie, with Gibson describing the Bulgaria shoot as "a blast" and Ford calling his co-stars "a great bunch of guys to work with".
"It's a very unique project," said Lundgren, who famously made his name playing Stallone's antagonist in 1985's Rocky IV. "The audience feels like the characters are friendly for real."
"I'm a big fan of action movies," said Terminator star Schwarzenegger, who shot his contribution to the first Expendables film in 2009 while still serving as Governor of California.
"They are always a great way of entertaining people," the 66-year-old went on. "They have a universal language."
According to Twilight actor Kellan Lutz, one of the younger members of the cast, being on set was like "winning an action sweepstakes - running around shooting guns with all my favourite heroes."
"All these guys have worked on so many films," said Patrick Hughes, the sequel's Australian director. "To have that wisdom on set was like [being in] film school all over again."
Jokes were freely exchanged between the actors, with Stallone and Schwarzenegger swapping jibes about their less successful, more comedic ventures.
Inevitably, though, talk soon turned to how long the mercenary-based series can continue in the light of the various injuries sustained and mishaps endured during filming.
One of them - an accident that saw a truck plunge into a dock with Statham at the wheel - featured in a montage of behind-the-scenes footage shown before to journalists before Sunday's press conference.
Statham swam away unscathed on that occasion, unlike the stuntman who died in a boat explosion during the making of The Expendables 2 in 2011.
"Everyone gets hurt," sighed Stallone. "There's no getting around it. Everyone goes home bruised.
"You try to take precautions, but when you do hands-on action that's what you take pride in - actually talking the bumps and bruises."
"You do get hurt and things do go wrong," nodded Statham, also known for his recurring role in the Transporter series. "It's par for the course.
"We have a battery of physicians who come in like elves and fix us every night," joked Lethal Weapon star Gibson, who takes the role of the villain in the latest Expendables instalment.
Ford's involvement in the franchise coincides with his return to the resurgent Star Wars series, which began shooting in the UK this week.
"I'm just delighted to be involved," he said of JJ Abrams' as yet untitled sequel. "We have a great script and a wonderful cast.
"JJ is a director at the top of his game and I'm looking forward to it," the actor continued.
The 71-year-old would not be drawn, however, on whether his Han Solo character would return in future Star Wars movies, feigning deafness when pressed by this British reporter.
For his part, Stallone expressed delight to see Ford become one of what he described as a group of "very adult children… with arthritis".
"We go back a long time," he said of the Indiana Jones and Blade Runner star. "I think Lincoln was in the White House when we first met."
The makers of The Expendables 3 are hoping it receives a PG-13 certificate in the US, the equivalent of a 12A in the UK. (Previous entries have carried an R or 15 rating.)
"We want to reach as much people as possible," said Stallone. "We owe it to the next generation for them to be able to enjoy the film, without having to sneak into the theatre."
The Expendables 3 is released in the UK on 14 August, while the Cannes Film Festival continues until 25 May.
Computer equipment was seized from the 18-year-old's home address in Stourbridge for forensic examination.
He was held on suspicion of preparing for terrorist acts after West Midlands counter terrorism officers arrested him at an address in Lye.
The man, who was arrested on Thursday, was bailed until a date in July when he will return for further questioning.
West Midlands Police said they were "keen to stress there was no immediate threat to public safety".
Cardiff council unveiled a map in March showing which zones it hopes to enforce by 2021.
The move aims to improve public safety and encourage more people to walk and cycle.
The initiative has now started in Riverside and Canton, between Llandaff Road and Cowbridge Road East up to the edge of Pontcanna Fields.
But some roads will stay at 30mph in the area, including Wellington Street and Cowbridge Road East up to Cardiff Bridge.
The local authority said this would stop drivers cutting through smaller residential streets "which goes against the principle of the scheme".
A public consultation has started on the next phase of the scheme - installing 20mph zones in parts of Canton, south Riverside and then west of Llandaff Road to Victoria Park Road West and down to Cowbridge Road East.
Councillor Caro Wild, cabinet member for strategic planning and transport, said the roll-out follows the "success" of the trial in Cathays which "did decrease average speed limits".
But the initiative has been met with mixed reactions from residents.
Richard Cook tweeted: "Cardiff should have blanket 20mph. Changing limits are confusing" while Wilhelm Von Jones posted: "I'm all for it but the reality is people unfortunately ignore. Our St has been 20mph for years, nobody obeys it."
Roger Swan said: "Complete waste of time and money."
The health minister has confirmed that £1.5m has now been made available. The jobs will be advertised shortly.
The new Londonderry hospital unit is on schedule to open in the autumn. It will treat over 1,000 patients from Northern Ireland and almost 400 from the Republic of Ireland.
Simon Hamilton said the jobs would be specialised and highly skilled.
"The commencement of the recruitment process for these posts is a key milestone on the critical path to the centre's opening," he said.
"These highly skilled staff will have a central role in providing the expertise to enable us to provide safe, sustainable and high quality radiotherapy services at the Altnagelvin Hospital.
"It will allow patients to be able to get the highest quality, complex radiotherapy treatments, without facing lengthy journeys."
Ahead of the summit the BBC travelled to Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan, to ask those affected what they wanted out of the summit, which is being attended by Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Rosetta, 44, was gang-raped in 1999 during Burundi's civil war.
The perpetrators arrived at her parents' home, put a hood over her head and raped her repeatedly. She says she's unsure how many times she was raped, or by how many men.
"When rapists are released from prisons and they re-enter the villages where we live, they intimidate us by saying: 'Did you get what you wanted?'
"My call to world leaders attending this conference is to ensure that rape is named a war crime with tough consequences so that no other vulnerable person is attacked the way we were during the war."
Lucy was raped during Burundi's civil war, which lasted from 1993 to 2005. She was 12 years old when three attackers put a hood over her head and attacked her as she walked home from school.
"In Burundi, rapists often don't serve their full term, which is traumatic for us. So we would ask world leaders and celebrities who are attending the conference in London is to make sure just and tough punishments and sentences are handed out to the guilty."
Fidela, 37 - pictured on the far left - lives in Burundi and has six children to support. She is one of many rape victims who have faced discrimination because they have been raped.
"My call to world leaders would be to ask them to support vulnerable rape victims like me.
"If the international community could provide us more support to rebuild our lives, that would be helpful."
Faida Maria, from DR Congo, was walking home with three other girls when they were ambushed by two men.
"The younger girls managed to run away to the village but I didn't have the strength to flee and they took me. They raped me and stabbed me," she said.
"I didn't wake up for three hours after that. I was 12 years old.
"I think that in order to end sexual violence here there needs to be more awareness raising campaigns for men, through radio programmes. The programmes would tell men to stop raping women."

Three months after Bangladesh suffered the worst terror attack in its history, the BBC's Justin Rowlatt and his team were the first journalists given access to the cafe.
Four men deny attempting to smuggle 35 people into Tilbury Docks, Essex. One man died in the container.
Basildon Crown Court heard one defendant been caught in France with migrants in the back of his lorry 11 days before the Tilbury incident.
Timothy Murphy from Londonderry was fined £5,000 in August.
Prosecutor Michael Goodwin told the court how 12 Afghans had been found in a locker in Mr Murphy's lorry transporting frozen chips from Coquelles, France, to the UK on 5 August.
"This was not a case of an energetic migrant chasing after and jumping on board in an attempt to smuggle their way on board," he said.
"There were 12 people inside that locker. They did not end up there by chance."
Mr Goodwin said as Mr Murphy drove the lorry to Coquelles he was in regular contact with fellow defendants Stephen McLaughlin and Martin McGlinchey.
The group of 35 Afghan Sikhs was found in the container at Tilbury 11 days after that incident, on 16 August.
Mr Goodwin told the court how dock workers heard noises inside the container and opened it up, finding those inside distressed and struggling to breathe.
Meet Singh Kapoor, 40, had died in the overnight crossing from Zeebrugge, Belgium.
Mr McLaughlin, 34, of Limavady, Londonderry; Mr Murphy, 33, of Elmgrove, Londonderry; Mr McGlinchey, 47, of Derryloughan Road, Coalisland, County Tyrone; and Taha Sharif, 38, who is Kurdish and lived in Tottenham, London, at the time, have all pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to facilitate illegal entry into the UK.
The trial is expected to last up to six weeks.
Tony Witheridge bowed his head as bloody images of his daughter's body were shown on the third day of the trial of Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo.
The two men deny murdering Miss Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, and David Miller, 24, from Jersey.
Their bodies were found on a beach on the island of Koh Tao last September.
A police officer told the trial of the severe injuries Miss Witheridge suffered and evidence she had been raped. Mr Miller's body was discovered with severe head injuries several metres away, he said.
BBC correspondent Jonah Fisher said Miss Witheridge's father and brother sat with their heads bowed as the evidence was presented in court but continued listening.
"Thai courts make little allowance for the feelings of relatives," he said.
"So for an hour the families of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller looked and listened as crime scene pictures were shown in court."
Speaking at the court, Mr Miller's father Ian said he and his wife Sue had come "with an open mind", adding that it had been an emotional time for the family.
"There has been lots of chit-chat on the internet. We are here for David because of his tragic death.
"We'll go with the flow as much as we can. We won't comment on the trial process. We'll be dignified for David."
Mrs Miller said: "It's been hard, very hard. Part of the reason for coming out, was to go to Koh Tao. We had one day on Koh Tao, it was really hard."
The families of Miss Witheridge and Mr Miller are now returning to the UK.
The court has now been told that vital DNA evidence cannot be retested. At the end of the trial's third day, the judge said police had informed him all the samples taken on the island were "finished" - meaning they could not be analysed again.
The prosecution says a DNA match between samples found on Miss Witheridge's body and the two defendants is central to its case.
Defence lawyers had asked for the samples to be independently verified but have now been told there is nothing left of them to re-test.
Police have, however, agreed to hand over the garden hoe which was the murder weapon, along with a shoe and a plastic bag.
The discovery of the bodies last September sparked a major police investigation and intense local and international pressure to find those responsible.
Mr Zaw and Mr Wai (also known as Win Zaw Htun), both 22 and migrants from Myanmar, also known as Burma, were arrested several weeks later.
They are said to have confessed to the crime but later retracted their statements.
The defendants have repeatedly stated their innocence over the murders, with the defence alleging they were framed.
Verdicts in the case are not expected until October.
Ryan Christie came closest to a leveller seconds before half-time when his left-foot shot from the edge of the box was tipped over by Silviu Lung Jr.
Constantin Budescu's 24th-minute first-leg strike secured the Romanians an aggregate victory.
And it is they who face West Ham United in the third qualifying round.
Inverness were composed in possession and produced a more than competent performance, with impact in the final third the crucial missing element for John Hughes's side.
The tie was nearly over late on when Budescu went clear and, with all the time in the world, fired straight at Owain Fon Williams.
It would have been a harsh end to a positive performance.
An impressive band of blue-clad Highlanders occupied a corner of the stadium, enthralled at the prospect of their first opportunity to see their side away in European action.
The sense many had prior to kick off was that this tie was far from over.
Much of Hughes's thinking in preparation must have taken account of the sweltering conditions and, although some respite arrived with the fading sun, conditions were still taxing.
Inverness settled quickly and were rarely threatened in the opening period, albeit they did not give the Astra defence too much to think about.
Greg Tansey lashed a free-kick wildly over, while David Raven missed the target in similar fashion.
Astra failed to impose themselves as an attacking threat. It was cagey, no-risk football that kept home supporters muted.
A Doran header was held comfortably by Lung, but the sense was growing that the visitors could find a way through.
The goal Inverness craved almost arrived just on the stroke of half time, when fantastic interplay released Christie, but the midfielder was left wincing as Lung did well to tip his shot over for a corner.
Budescu had his first real sight of goal after the break, but the first-leg scorer's effort was scuffed and settled easily in Fon Williams's hands and the goalkeeper then tipped away the midfielder's powerful effort.
Doran had perhaps the chance of the game when the ball fell to him eight yards out, but the winger's shot was rushed and bounced into the goalkeeper's arms.
Inverness had to gamble and the tie was so nearly over moments before that when William curled an effort beyond Fon Williams but inches wide of his post.
Budescu had the chance to kill the tie late on when clean through, but to the despair of the home fans he shot inexplicably tamely at Fon Williams.
The European experience was over for Inverness, but it is an adventure they will look back on with fondness, if not wonder, at what might have been against a side they more than matched.

But it did not quite go to plan as Non found herself in a bit of a muddle while trying to do an interview in English with Catrin Edwards.

The Talking Statues project brings the city's history to life when smartphone users scan a code to receive a call.
Ms Whelan, Yara Greyjoy in the TV series, is the voice of Drury Dame, an elegant lamp bearer who tells how her appearance caused an outcry. Mr Reeves is the Black Prince in City Square.
The statues can be heard for the next year as part of the Yorkshire Festival.
Elsewhere in the city, Going Viral playwright Daniel Bye and Shameless actor Lee Toomes created a voice for the statue of World War II pilot Arthur Aaron at Eastgate, while Coronation Street actor Drew Cain revealed the thoughts of inventor James Watt at City Square.
Yorkshire poet Ian McMillan asks what a Frenchman is doing playing petanque in Bond Court and actor Brian Blessed is the voice of a stone lion outside the city's town hall.
Mr McMillan said: "I'm always wanting to explore new ideas of getting language performed in places you don't expect it, and you certainly don't expect statues to start telling you a story.
"As a child I had a fantasy that statues were just dying to tell you their stories, and now I can make that dream into a reality."
Matt Burman, of the Yorkshire Festival, said: "Talking Statues is a fantastic project; mixing culture, technology, a little bit of history and a lot of fun."
Thomas Piquemal stepped down because he feared the project could jeopardise EDF's financial position, according to reports.
EDF shares are trading 6.6% lower.
Last month, Chris Bakken, the director of the project that could produce 7% of UK electricity by 2025, said he was leaving to pursue other opportunities.
Jean-Bernard Levy, chairman and chief executive of EDF, said Mr Piquemal told him of the decision to leave last week and that he regretted the "haste" of Mr Piquemal's departure.
The company's board is expected to finalise in April how it will fund the project after postponing the decision a number of times.
Mr Levy said the board was studying the investment in Hinkley Point to ascertain the best way to finance the power plant. He added that EDF aimed to announce a final investment decision "soon".
EDF has provisionally appointed Xavier Girre, who joined the company last year as finance director of its French business, as the group finance chief.
At first take, it might appear the resignation of a company's finance director reveals a business in crisis.
And EDF's share price fall this morning seems to bear that out.
But, for supporters of the building of a new £18bn nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset - the world's most expensive power project - the resignation of Thomas Piquemal looks like clearing the way for the EDF board to give the final go-ahead for the scheme.
Mr Piquemal was widely reported as being a trenchant critic of the costly nuclear project.
His fate appears to have been sealed last week when the French government, which largely owns EDF, confirmed that it is still backing the scheme
That came after the meeting between Francois Hollande and David Cameron - also an enthusiastic backer.
On this occasion, political will has trumped any financial concerns.

The project has been plagued by delays, but publicly the firm has insisted a decision to move forward is imminent.
In October last year, EDF agreed a deal under which China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) would pay a third of the cost of the £18bn project in exchange for a 33.5% stake.
But according to reports, EDF is struggling to find the cash for its remaining 66.5% stake and is seeking help from the French government, which owns 84.5% of EDF.
The company is also facing opposition from French union officials, who have suggested that investment in Hinkley Point C should be delayed until 2019.
The CFE-CGC Energy union said there were problems with a similar reactor design in France that needed to be solved.
Francois Raillot from the union which has a seat on EDF's board, said the company could sell some assets to finance Hinkley Point, but added: "It is a very bad time to do it because the price of energy is so low.
"The state, which is a shareholder, will have to give [EDF] money to do it. But another problem is that the French state has no money."
The new Hinkley plant was originally due to open in 2017, and it has come under fire for both its cost and delays to the timetable for building.
The British government has also been criticised for guaranteeing a price of £92.50 per megawatt hour of electricity - more than twice the current cost - for the electricity Hinkley produces for 35 years.
A UK Government spokesperson said: "We continue to fully support the project and President Hollande said himself on Thursday afternoon that it has the full support of the French Government."
Tony Roulstone, from the Cambridge Nuclear Energy Centre, said the departure of Mr Piquemal was "a big blow".
He said EDF was already facing a number of other financing issues, including a decision to buy a majority stake in Areva's nuclear reactor unit, adding: "They are committed to upgrading their existing power stations in France at a cost of €55bn over 15 years."
"At a commercial level there is a way for the government to step aside but at a political level, this is part of the energy strategy," he said.
Tom Greatrex, the chief executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said: "What I think is vitally important is we get a decision on Hinkley, and then we get on with replacing our generation stock which is going off line.
"We need new nuclear as part of that low carbon balance linked to the future. And Hinkley is an important part of that."
Tom Burke, chairman of environmental think tank E3G, said there was now "a serious question mark" over the future of Hinkley Point.
"You've now had two senior people leave within a month, both clearly having trouble convincing their colleagues to go ahead in the direction that their colleagues want to go."
Travelling on her own to escape her home city, which is now so-called Islamic State's (IS) capital, she crawled through mud along the Turkish border to make it to safety.
"Death was my companion at every step," she told me at the Kara Tepe camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.
Her heart pounded at each of the 46 checkpoints she had to cross to get out: "They don't want doctors to leave and they could have prevented me."
She sewed her papers into her clothes so they wouldn't be found. But she wanted to bring them with her - the precious qualifications with which she hopes to start a new life and find work.
She wants to join her brothers and sisters who have already made it to Germany.
Maha is also a statistic.
When the migration crisis began, most of those on the move were men. But since the start of the year, women and children have made up the bulk of the refugees and migrants.
Many are trying to join their husbands and children who went ahead with the money the family had at the time, leaving them to come afterwards.
Others have lost husbands and brothers to Syria's five-year war.
And aid agencies say the risks the women face are not over now that they have reached Europe's shores.

"Without the protection of family and community, they frequently endure sexual violence, unintended pregnancies, trafficking and even child marriage," says Babatunde Osotimehin, head of the UN's Population Fund.
"Basic needs for family planning, reproductive health and safe childbirth and protection from violence and abuse are rarely met."
Women are under "enormous stress", according to Kiki Michailidou, a psychologist for the International Rescue Committee, which works in Kara Tepe.
"I've got a waiting list of 20 people and every day we get new referrals."
I asked Maha if she felt scared as a woman travelling without any male relatives.
"Actually what we left behind was far worse," she told me. "I was frightened in my own country. That's why I left."
Maha is now living with eight other women and girls in a prefabricated hut.
It is cramped. But the Kara Tepe camp has been set aside for the most vulnerable people arriving on Lesbos.
And conditions are far better than they are elsewhere in the country where 50,000 people have been stranded since Europe's borders closed and the EU-Turkey deal came into effect.
But a sense of desperate uncertainty pervades the camp.
In limbo on Lesbos, the women have no idea what will happen to them - and endless time to relive their traumas.
Just a few metres from Maha's new home, four other well-groomed young women share a hut with four of their children.
It is almost noon when I meet them, and they have just got up. "We don't want you to think we're lazy. But we try to sleep as much as possible - just to ease the boredom and to try to forget."
When they recall why they are here, their eyes keep welling with tears.
The family is from the Syrian city of Deir al-Zour - which is divided between control by the government and by IS militants. And they are too frightened to give their names.
"The smugglers stole our money. They blackmailed us, saying that they'd tell the police if we didn't pay up," says the eldest of the women, a 38-year-old we'll call Fatima. "If we had just one man with us, it would be different. We'd have someone to fight our corner."
But her husband is stuck in Syria. He is a government employee and wasn't able to get out safely through all the checkpoints on their road to Turkey.
Fatima's sister's husband is dead - beheaded by IS militants. Her first cousin's husband died under torture in a government jail. And they are all trying to reach Germany where a relative is now living with one of her sons.
Their hut in Kara Tepe has no light - and no lock. They tie the door with string at night to make sure no-one comes in. "We're scared to go to the toilet at night," Fatima tells me.
Many of the women travelling without men have formed their own support networks to help each other.
Siham and Fathiye both smile as they remember how they first met - in a Turkish detention facility where they were held after crossing illegally from Syria in March.
Siham's husband and two sons disappeared in northern Syria over a year ago, and she has no idea what happened to them. She fled Aleppo with her daughter after their house was hit by a rebel shell.
They now share a hut with Fathiye who - with her three youngest children - left Damascus to try to reach her husband and two older children in Germany.
"We've become like sisters," says Fathiye of the friendship she has forged with Siham. "I left my sisters behind in Syria but I've found a sister here."
"Me too," says Siham.
The women hope - one day - to live next door to each other in Germany.
But, like everyone in this camp, they don't know how long it will take for their cases to be processed, or what chance they have of success.
BBC News World On The Move is a day of coverage dedicated to migration, and the changing effect it is having on our world.

The Australian star was speaking ahead of a screening of romantic period drama Carol at the BFI London Film Festival.
Adapted from Patricia Highsmith novel The Price of Salt, the film tells the story of two women who fall in love in 1950s New York.
Both Blanchett and co-star Rooney Mara have been widely tipped for Oscar nominations for their roles.
Speaking before the screening, Blanchett said: "Every time there are interesting complex roles played by actresses on screen someone asks, 'does this mean there's going to be more of the same?'
"We seem to every year find ourselves in the same conversation, that somehow it's remarkable.
"I think there's a swathe of great roles for women and swathe of wonderful female performers. I think it's just time to get on with it."
Blanchett plays alluring married woman Carol Aird, who meets young department store clerk Therese Belivet, played by Mara.
The couple form an instant connection and fall in love. Carol faces losing custody of her daughter in a bitter divorce battle because of her affair with a woman.
Blanchett said Carol's storyline might have been deemed "more political" had it been made a few years ago.
"I think the landscape around the conversation around same-sex relationships has advanced in a lot of countries.
"The universality of the love story comes to the fore, rather than any sort of political agenda."
Blanchett said the film, directed by Todd Haynes, focused on the "timeless nature" of falling in love.
"There's a sense that people who fall in love in the '50s - because they are wearing girdles - don't feel the same things that we feel."
She said falling in love felt like something that "no-one else has experienced".
"It's dangerous, you're out of control. It's akin to panic and fear. Your heart literally beats faster.
"That doesn't change whether you are wearing a corset or a G-string."

They had already been held up in Atlanta, USA, because of a problem with the payment for their flight.
"The players were uncomfortable with the size of the plane," team media officer Timi Ebikagboro told BBC Sport.
He said they would leave on a bigger plane and arrive in time for kick-off against Japan (01:00 GMT Friday).
"The [Nigerian] government stepped in," he added.
"The players have been assured of adequate medical care on the plane. It's been challenging but most importantly we will be ready for the first game."
Their flight is set to depart at 1200GMT for the seven-hour flight to Manaus, where their Group B opener kicks off just 13 hours later.
The squad had originally been stranded in Atlanta because of a problem that seemed to be caused by money having to go through different bank accounts and currency conversions.
"The money paid by the [sports] ministry for the charter flight did not hit airline's account on Tuesday so they refused to fly the team to Brazil," a source close to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said.
"It is a cumbersome exercise but they should have started the process much earlier, which NFF was pointing out. This issue has nothing to do with the NFF," the source explained to BBC Sport.
One of the players explained to the BBC on Wednesday: "We've been told to get ready to fly out in few hours but that's been the story since last week."
Nigeria, who are in Group B of the Rio Games alongside Sweden, Colombia and Japan, boast a proud Olympic record.
In 1996, they became the first African and non-European or South American team to win the gold medal.
They also finished runners-up at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where current under-23 coach Siasia also coached the 'Dream Team' in China.
The poll asked 1,479 people aged 14-24 to score popular apps on issues such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, bullying and body image.
Keeping Instagram a safe and supportive place for young people was a top priority, the company said.
Mental health charities urged companies to act to increase users' safety.
The Royal Society for Public Health study says social platforms should flag up heavy social media use and identify users with mental health issues.
Instagram says it provides tools and information on how to cope with bullying and warns users before they view certain content.
The RSPH report says that "social media may be fuelling a mental health crisis" in young people.
However, it can also be used as a tool for good, the report said. Instagram, for example, was found to have a positive effect on self-expression and self-identity.
About 90% of young people use social media - more than any other age group - so they are particularly vulnerable to its effects, although it is not clear what these are on current evidence.
Isla is in her early 20s. She got hooked on social media as a teenager when going through a difficult time in her life.
"The online communities made me feel included and that I was worthwhile.
"However, I soon began to neglect 'real life' friendships and constantly spent all my time online talking to my friends there.
"I fell into a deep depressive episode aged 16, which lasted for months and was utterly horrible.
"During this time social media made me feel worse, as I would constantly compare myself to other people and make myself feel bad.
"When I was 19, I had another bad depressive episode. I'd go on social media, see all my friends doing things and hate myself for not being able to do them, or feel bad that I wasn't as good a person as them."
Social media has also been a positive in Isla's life.
"I have blogged a lot about mental health and I'm quite open about it and have good conversations with people about it.
"I find it gives me a platform to talk and talking with people is something I find imperative to my own health.
"The online friends I made five or six years ago I'm still friends with to this day and have met many of them in person."
The online survey asked participants a series of questions about whether YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter had an impact on their health and well-being.
Participants were asked to score each platform on 14 health and well-being issues.
Based on these ratings, YouTube was considered to have the most positive impact on mental health, followed by Twitter and then Facebook.
Snapchat and Instagram were given the lowest scores overall, h
Shirley Cramer, chief executive of the RSPH, said: "It is interesting to see Instagram and Snapchat ranking as the worst for mental health and well-being - both platforms are very image-focused and it appears they may be driving feelings of inadequacy and anxiety in young people."
In light of the findings, public health experts are calling for social media platforms to introduce a series of checks and measures to help tackle mental health, including:
The report also recommends that NHS England comes up with a vetting scheme for health and well-being information so young people are better able to judge whether information is trustworthy.
Ms Cramer added: "As the evidence grows that there may be potential harms from heavy use of social media, and as we upgrade the status of mental health within society, it is important that we have checks and balances in place to make social media less of a 'wild West' when it comes to young people's mental health and well-being."
Tom Madders, from mental health charity YoungMinds, said the recommendations could help many young people.
"Increasing safety within social media platforms is an important step and one we urge Instagram and other sites to act upon.
"But it's also important to recognise that simply 'protecting' young people from particular content types can never be the whole solution."
He said young people needed to understand the risks of how they behaved online and should be taught how to respond to "harmful content that slips through filters".
Michelle Napchan, Instgram head of policy at EMEA, said: "Keeping Instagram a safe and supportive place, where people feel comfortable expressing themselves, is our top priority - particularly when it comes to young people.
"Every day people from all over the world use Instagram to share their own mental health journey and get support from the community. For those struggling with mental health issues, we want them to be able to access support on Instagram when and where they need it.
"That's why we work in partnership with experts to give people the tools and information they need while using the app, including how to report content, get support for a friend they are worried about or directly contact an expert to ask for advice on an issue they may be struggling with."

Monkstown forward Nikki Evans and UCD midfielder Gillian Pinder scored the goals which secured Wednesday's vital victory in Johannesburg,
Ireland play Olympic champions England in their final pool fixture on Sunday.
Victory in the quarter-finals would see the Irish seal a berth in the World Cup finals to be held in London.
Ireland dominated the game against Poland but struggled to convert their pressure into goals.
It took a piece of individual skill from Evans to hold off two Polish defenders before neatly finishing on the reverse stick to open the scoring in the first quarter.
Ireland extended their lead in the third quarter when a loose ball in the circle was picked up by Pinder who fired an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the Polish net.
Ireland will not know who their opponents in Tuesday's quarter-finals will be until the Pool stages are completed, but a win in that game would clinch a place in the World Cup finals for the first time since 2002 as well as a place in the World League final to be held in Auckland in November.
Should Ireland lose their last eight tie, they will play-off for fifth to eighth place with the country taking fifth also booking a place in the World Cup finals.
Owen arrived from London by train on 26 June 1917.
He had been sent to be treated for shellshock at Craiglockhart War Hospital.
It is there he met anti-war poet Siegfried Sassoon, who would have a big influence on his work.
Peter Owen, nephew of Wilfred Owen and ambassador of the Wilfred Owen Association, said: "Wilfred Owen's poetry has influenced poets of all times and ages.
"This legacy was only made possible through a meeting of minds with Siegfried Sassoon at Craiglockhart.
"If Wilfred has an afterlife, no aspect would have pleased him more than the way his words have been used and modified by poets that came after him.
"Both Auden and Spender were influenced by Wilfred. Edmond Blunden wrote of him and his poems."
He added: "A poet's poet Wilfred said of himself but would have never dreamed of his ever-growing legacy. This all began here in Edinburgh, at Craiglockhart, now Edinburgh Napier University.
"Oh, how Wilfred would appreciate and be very grateful and pleased by the honour of being welcomed here. All those involved who have spent so much time planning this extended commemoration need to be thanked many, many times."
It was at Craiglockhart, now part of Edinburgh Napier's Craiglockhart campus, that Owen wrote two of his most-revered poems - Dulce Et Decorum Est and Anthem For Doomed Youth.
The re-enactment event took place at Waverley Station and along Princes Street earlier as a programme of events to commemorate the centenary continued.
Arriving at platform seven on the Caledonian Sleeper, the event saw Owen, played by historian and teacher David Clarke, welcomed to the city by the Rt Hon Lord Provost and Lord Lieutenant of the City of Edinburgh Frank Ross and Norman Drummond, chairman of the Scottish government's World War One Commemoration panel.
The party were with Owen's nephew, Peter, who made the train journey to be part of the centenary commemorations.
Owen's initial journey along Princes Street was replicated with the sound of pipers accompanying the group along Edinburgh's main thoroughfare.
They gathered outside the Caledonian Hotel - a location where Owen regularly met "the great and good" of the city during his time there.
Neil McLennan, event organiser and chairman of Wilfred Owen's Edinburgh 1917-2017, said: "Edinburgh was the centre of Owen's enlightenment and where he crafted some of the most powerful poetry of the war.
"It is pleasing to see so many come together to commemorate this vital part of Edinburgh's literary history."
On Monday night, the Craiglockhart campus will host a special public lecture with Scottish military historian Prof Sir Hew Strachan.
Police said all the affected livestock had neck and leg injuries and were thought to have been attacked at the weekend.
Officers said the incident happened on land off Groes Road, Colwyn Bay, Conwy county.
North Wales Police said the dogs responsible for the attack had not yet been traced.
In June, the force's rural crime unit said 1,500 sheep had been lost to dogs in the past two years, with "weekly or even daily" attacks.
Officers said they believed the material found in the vehicle was herbal cannabis.
A 23-year-old man has been arrested. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
The man detained by police is expected to appear at Dumfries Sheriff Court on Monday.
Northampton had the better of a scrappy first half in which both defences were on top and chances were few and far between.
Aaron Phillips tested Simon Eastwood with a long-range shot and Marc Richards headed onto the roof of the net for the Cobblers.
Matt Taylor also had a free-kick deflected over, and from his ensuing corner, the unmarked Zander Diamond headed off target.
Michael Smith headed wide for the hosts before Oxford began to offer more of a threat in the final third, with Conor McAleny curling an effort wide and Antonio Martinez firing a shot over the bar.
After the restart Liam Sercombe fired wide for Oxford before Northampton missed a glorious opportunity to break the deadlock when they were awarded a penalty, only for Taylor's spot-kick to be superbly saved by Eastwood.
Northampton still sensed the breakthrough, but Richards fired into the side-netting and Paul Anderson failed to convert from Phillips' excellent cross.
Oxford had a couple of good chances late on as Curtis Johnson had a shot tipped onto the bar by Smith, who then foiled a Kane Hemmings effort.

The council began a 12-month trial of monthly collections in September, to encourage residents to recycle more.
Councillor Bill Darwin, who represents Kinmel Bay, said the new arrangement was a "potential health time-bomb".
Conwy council said it is half way through the trial period and there is no evidence of an increase in vermin.
Mr Darwin said there had been an increase in fly-tipping in the Towyn and Kinmel Bay areas as people struggle to fit four weeks' worth of waste into one wheelie bin.
"It's not too bad if there's just one couple living in a house but it's a big problem for families," he said.
"People are resorting to taking household rubbish, including dog excrement and cat litter, to public litter bins and this is causing an increase in rats and seagulls.
"The smell is terrible and it's only going to get worse as the warmer weather comes."
More than 10,000 Conwy residents are taking part in the trial, while the council has brought in three-weekly bin collections for the rest of the county.
Clwyd West AM Darren Millar said complaints had "increased dramatically" since it had started.
"The situation is totally unacceptable and unless these changes are scrapped, it will have a detrimental impact on our tourism industry and local wildlife," he said.
The council's recycling and waste policy states that properties with fewer than six residents are restricted to one wheelie bin for household waste and that overflowing or open bins will not be collected.
There are weekly collections for recycling and food waste.
Mr Darwin is asking for more feedback from local residents as he writes a report to present to the council.
A council spokeswoman said there was "no evidence of an increase in vermin" and that "the vast majority of residents are disposing of their food waste correctly in their food waste bin".
She added the four-weekly trial was introduced after the council found half of rubbish thrown away to landfill could have been recycled, wasting £1.6m each year.
Since September, the trial has seen residents throw 507 tonnes less into their wheelie bins compared to the same period last year.
The blasts on Sunday occurred in Arghandab district, on the outskirts of Kandahar city, a police spokesman said. Five policemen were injured.
Nato forces have been battling to take control of Kandahar from the Taliban, whose heartland it is.
All the dead were civilians, Arghandab district chief Shah Mohammad told the AFP news agency.
Twelve civilians were also injured, AFP reported, quoting Afghan interior ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary in Kabul.
No group has yet said it carried out the attack, but the Taliban regularly target large public gatherings.
Dog-fighting competitions, which were banned under the Taliban regime, are a popular pastime in Afghanistan.
In February 2008, at least 65 people were killed by a suicide bomb at a dog fight in Kandahar.
On Saturday, a suicide bomber blew himself up at a buzkashi match in northern Afghanistan, killing at least three people. Buzkashi is a precursor of the modern game of polo, played with the body of a headless goat which is filled with sand.
Harvey Stocks, 20, from Darlington, County Durham, pled guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court to throwing the sandbag into Merchant Street on 13 March to the potential danger of pedestrians.
The incident was caught on CCTV at 03:25.
On the night he threw the sandbag, he had been out drinking with a group of friends.
Defence solicitor, Nigel Bruce, said his client was about to start his third year studying computer science at Edinburgh University.
Mr Bruce said Stocks' family were in court and said Stocks was "not really a drinker".
His client, he said, accepted he had acted in a reckless manner and it was a serious matter.
The solicitor said Stocks had been told by one of the group that there was no-one in the street.
Sheriff Kenneth McGowan told Stocks: "I know this area. There a number of doorways and someone could just have walked out and you could have killed them.
"That would have been a tragedy for that person and for you. It was reckless and crass stupidity. You had a lucky escape".
Stocks was allowed to pay the fine at £30 a month.
In a previous incident on George IV Bridge in 2006, Kate Flannery, 24, from Galway, sustained spinal injuries when a traffic cone was thrown from the bridge.
The women with atrial fibrillation (AF) were almost twice as likely to have fatal heart disease and strokes.
Women may respond less well to AF drugs or are being diagnosed later than men.
"One possibility is that women with AF are undertreated relative to men," Connor Emdin and colleagues, at the University of Oxford, told the BMJ.
In the meantime, experts say doctors should be aware of the findings in case more can be done to avert avoidable deaths.
About a million people in the UK have AF.
You can check if you might have it by feeling your pulse for about 30 seconds.
An occasional irregularity in pulse, such as a missed beat or extra beats, is common and nothing to worry about.
But if your pulse is continuously irregular with no pattern, you should see your doctor.
It may also be very fast, more than 100 beats per minute even when resting, leading to dizziness and shortness of breath.
Medicines can control AF and reduce the risk of a stroke (a clot or bleed in the brain).
In patients with AF, the heart's upper chambers - the atria - contract randomly and sometimes so fast the heart muscle cannot relax properly between contractions, reducing its efficiency.
June Davison, from the British Heart Foundation, said AF was under-diagnosed in both men and women.
"It is important that healthcare services for the prevention and treatment of AF take into account the different effects of gender on the condition," she said.
"More research is needed to find out more about the underlying causes of these differences."
Stewart Greene, 65, of Grimoldby, Lincolnshire, said he drowned Alex Robinson in a bath but denies murder.
Alex was in Mr Greene's care at his home while his mother - the defendant's daughter was out - last December.
Mr Greene, who took the witness stand for the first time at Lincoln Crown Court, also apologised to his family.
Timothy Spencer QC, defending, asked Mr Greene whether he had drowned his grandson, to which he replied "I drowned him in the bath, yes."
He also told the court he had had a "burning sensation" in his head on the day he killed Alex.
He later apologised to his daughter, saying: "I'm so sorry Joanne."
Mr Spencer asked him if he had been hearing voices, to which he said: "no, there were no voices, I've lived in a dream world all my life."
It was put to Mr Greene "the prosecution say you are not mentally ill at all", to which he replied: "the prosecution are right".
The court had previously been told Mr Greene had suffered from depression and had been discharged from a Lincoln-based psychiatric unit.
Prosecutor Michael Evans QC put it to Mr Greene he told a psychiatrist, in October, that "you killed your grandson as you were angry with your daughter that she would not let you live with her".
"Is that why you killed him?" said Mr Evans. "Yes," Mr Greene replied.
He told the jury Alex had done nothing wrong and he himself had been guilty of being selfish all his life.
The court also heard how he had thought about killing Alex the evening before the boy drowned.
The trial continues.
The House of Keys seats will be contested in two constituencies within the capital of the island on 21 May.
Bill Henderson and David Cretney, who represented Douglas North and Douglas South respectively, were elected to the Legislative Council last month.
Nomination day - when candidates confirm their intention to stand - will be on 21 April.
The Legislative Council is the upper branch of Tynwald and has 11 members. Four seats became vacant last month.
They did so when the terms of office expired for Phil Braidwood, Dudley Butt, Alex Downie and Alan Crowe.
The Legislative Council primarily acts as a revising chamber for bills, whereas the House of Keys is the directly elected lower branch of Tynwald.
Michael Forney and Steve Saviano netted first-period goals to put the hosts in control against the Scots.
James Desmarais, Chris Higgins and Jonathan Boxill added to the tally in the second period.
Desmarais completed the rout while the Devils stayed top with a 7-5 victory over Coventry Blaze.
Belfast completed a double after Friday's 5-4 win over Notthingham Panthers.
Desmarais is a man in form with his two goals against Dundee coming 24 hours after he hit a treble in the narrow victory over the Panthers.
The Giants are back in action next weekend with an away double-header against Sheffield Steelers.
Basharat Hussain, one of seven defendants, had "somebody in CID", a witness told Sheffield Crown Court.
The woman said he had paid for information about a safe house and for details of "when he was going to get busted".
Mr Hussain, 39, denies 16 offences linked to child abuse in Rotherham.
The court heard the woman began a relationship with Mr Hussain, who she referred to as 'Bash', in 2000 when she was 15.
He had been violent towards her on a number of occasions, she said, and had made a series of death threats.
When she was 16, she told the court, a panic alarm was fitted at her home after Mr Hussain had broken in.
At one stage, she said, there had been discussions about moving her to a safe house and changing her identity, but Mr Hussain found out what had been said.
"Bash actually phoned me and told me this is what were happening and he actually told me where I were going," she said.
"He said that he had always got somebody in CID to tell him these sorts of things and he used to pay this person in CID money and this person would say what's happening with me and he'd also tell him when he was going to get busted."
Arshid Hussain, 40, High Street, East Cowick, Goole, faces 30 charges, including five counts of rape.
Qurban Ali, 53, Clough Road, Rotherham, faces four charges, including rape and conspiracy to rape.
Majid Bostan, 37, Ledsham Road, Rotherham faces one charge of indecent assault.
Sajid Bostan, 38, Broom Avenue, Rotherham faces seven charges, including four counts of rape,.
Basharat Hussain, 39, of no fixed abode, faces 16 charges including two counts of rape.
Karen MacGregor, 58, Barnsley Road, Wath, South Yorkshire, faces three charges, including conspiracy to rape.
Shelley Davies, 40, Wainwright Road, Kimberworth Park, Rotherham, faces three charges, including conspiracy to rape.
After a time, she said, the violence became "normal" and she had "learned to live with it".
She told the court she had changed to such an extent after meeting Mr Hussain that her family called her "Bash's creation".
The trial continues.
Kite Power Systems (KPS) has gained backing for its project at West Freugh near Stranraer from E.ON, Schlumberger and Shell Technology Ventures (STV).
Paul Jones of the company said it was an "endorsement" of its research and development work on the technology.
A demonstration system will be put in place next year with further systems planned in years to come.
The technology uses two kites tethered to spool drums and as they fly they turn the drums to produce electricity.
A full-sized kite could generate two to three megawatts of electricity, which KPS said was comparable to a 100m conventional wind turbine.
The company has said it could eventually employ up to 500 people by 2025.
Mr Jones said: "The backing of these companies will accelerate KPS's commercial development plans towards deploying lower cost, deep-water offshore wind energy on a global scale."
KPS was established in 2011 and to date has invested more than £3m in technology development.
Geert van de Wouw, managing director of STV, said he had been convinced over time of the value of the KPS technology.
"It is an interesting contribution to renewable energy generation and a good fit to explore through Shell's New Energies business," he said.
E.ON senior vice president Frank Meyer said: "The approach of KPS has the potential to become a game changer for the wind energy market.
"It supports one of our overall targets to drive down the costs for renewable energy.
"In addition to this, we catch the opportunity to be a first mover in producing renewable energy at locations where it is, for economic and technical reasons, not possible today."
Oil and gas services company Schlumberger made its investment as it believes the technology could be used on offshore oil platforms, remote onshore drilling operations and decommissioned offshore wind turbine towers.
Commenting on the news, WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "We hope the investment enables this emerging renewable technology to achieve its aim of developing a commercial-scale project.
"Kite power technology offers the prospect of an exciting new way to harness the power of the wind, particularly in places where it might be impractical to erect a wind turbine."
Yorkshire slumped to 85-4, as Alex Lees and Adam Lyth both fell for 19 before Andrew Gale was bowled by Keith Barker.
Jonny Bairstow, who hit 246 against Hampshire last week, then chopped on off Chris Woakes for 20.
But Ballance and Leaning's unbroken 92-run fifth-wicket stand steadied the innings as Yorkshire closed on 177-4.
The visitors' top order failed to fire once more, having collapsed in both innings in their first match of the season against Hampshire, as they went from 46-0 to 56-3.
Rikki Clarke bowled Lees, and Lyth was caught in the slips off Boyd Rankin as the openers struggled with Warwickshire's seamers.
Despite their innings being interrupted by rain and bad light, England hopeful Ballance, and Leaning, both hit seven fours to reach the close of play on 50 not out each, and leave Yorkshire in a healthier position.
Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes:
"It was a pretty good day for us but, having had them 80-odd for four we'd have liked them five or six down by this point. But they won the toss and batted on a pretty good pitch so we can't really moan.
"Credit to Gary Ballance and Jack Leaning for the way they batted. They got stuck in. We bowled well and put the ball in the right areas but they responded and sometimes you just have to give credit where it's due.
"I feel fine. Last week I fell at the Ageas Bowl and aggravated something in the back of my knee but I had an injection in it and it has settled down nicely. I felt in good rhythm, hit the pitch pretty hard and was pleased with the way it came out."
Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie:
"Gary Ballance played really well. He stuck to his zones and how he plays and absorbed some very good bowling. He is a fine player.
"Personally, I didn't agree with England's decision to leave him out last year but his reaction to that has been outstanding. He has knuckled down for Yorkshire.
"Joe Root will come back into the side next week so it will be an interesting selection decision we have to make, but we are not worrying about that at the moment."

Timi Ariyo spoke out after a video about him containing abusive singing and monkey noises was sent on Snapchat.
Tami Sotire said she had been scared to report her abusers for fear the group would "become more angry".
A University of Bristol spokesman described their experiences as "extremely distressing".
The video, posted in December, showed a group of white men singing an abusive song about Mr Ariyo.
The pair, from Essex, said their abusers were mainly from their old school back home, but also included a fellow university student.
Both students met with Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof Nick Lieven, and showed him screen shots of social media and other evidence of the bullying which they have suffered.
"Timi and Tami's experiences are extremely distressing. We are taking immediate action under our disciplinary procedures in relation to the student at our university, and will be looking to coordinate with the other universities involved," a spokesman said.
"We are already reviewing our own processes and communications so that we can make it easier for students to report these kinds of issues in the future."
It includes healthcare and housing and will be open to any military member with a valid marriage certificate.
Plans to extend benefits to unmarried gay couples have been dropped.
The move comes after the US Supreme Court struck down a federal law that defined marriage as between one man and one woman.
The Pentagon had already extended certain privileges to same-sex couples after a ban on openly gay troops - known as Don't Ask, Don't Tell - was repealed in September 2011. But most benefits had been off-limits until the Supreme Court ruling.
"It is now the department's policy to treat all married military personnel equally," Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said in a memo on Wednesday to senior Pentagon officials.
The Pentagon also stated it would grant leave for military personnel stationed in a US state that does not permit same-sex marriage to travel to a jurisdiction where they can marry legally.
"This will provide accelerated access to the full range of benefits offered to married military couples throughout the department and help level the playing field between opposite-sex and same-sex couples seeking to be married," said Navy Lt Commander Nate Christensen, a Pentagon spokesman.
The change will enable homosexual troops and their spouses to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington DC.
Defence officials estimate there are almost 18,000 same-sex couples in the US forces and among military retirees, but it is unclear how many are married.
Gay marriage is legal in 13 states and the District of Columbia, but many other states have explicit bans on same-sex unions.
The firm said health issues impacted on expected harvest volumes and drove up production and operating costs by 15%, to £26m, in the last quarter of 2016.
Harvested volumes fell year-on-year from 6,059 tonnes to 5,733 tonnes.
However, revenues rose over the same period by £3.3m to £27.2m.
Over the year, revenue reached £110m, compared with £100.4m in 2015.
The salmon farming industry has been trying to tackle the problem of sea lice, which have led to a cut in output, rising costs and price rises.
Sea lice are small marine parasites that feed on the skin and blood of salmon. They can weaken the health of fish and its growth.
In a statement, the Edinburgh-based company said it had focused on increasing capacity and improving operational efficiency in the last quarter.
Trials on its new harvest station in Ardyne, Argyll, were completed and the facility became fully operational in January.
In addition, a number of smaller farms in the north were consolidated into a single 3,400 tonne operating site, which the company said improved efficiencies and economies of scale.
Export sales accounted for 44% of output, an increase of 7%, as the firm continued to target overseas markets.
Chief executive Craig Anderson said: "Performance has remained stable but we recognise that the effects of recent health issues have impacted on our projected growth in the short term.
"Taking into account the consequences of the current biological challenges, we are now guiding harvest volumes of 25,000 tonnes volumes for 2017."

A federal judge in Honolulu signed the deal between the Navy and environmental groups on Monday.
It restricts or bans the use of mid-frequency active sonar and explosives used in training exercises.
Campaigners say that sonar disrupts the feeding of marine mammals, and can even cause deafness or death.
An explosives training exercise in San Diego four years ago killed four dolphins, Earthjustice lawyer David Henkin said when announcing the agreement.
He said the deal means:
The hope, said Mr Henkin, is that these safe havens will bring down the number of injuries and deaths to marine wildlife.
Mass strandings of whales are often blamed on sonar driving the mammals ashore by emitting some sort of traumatising signal.
The deal brings to an end legal cases launched by Earthjustice and other environmental groups against the fisheries service for allowing the military training.
Lt Cmdr Matt Knight, a US Pacific Fleet spokesman, said the deal would not undermine the Navy's key testing and training requirements.
"Recognising our environmental responsibilities, the Navy has been, and will continue to be, good environmental stewards as we prepare for and conduct missions in support of our national security," he said.
Anthony Madu, 47, was found guilty of six counts of fraud in 2014 relating to when he was employed by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.
He had done locum work while suspended on pay and after submitting sick notes.
Madu lost his case at the Court of Appeal in London to challenge a confiscation order made last year.
Madu, from Woolwich, south east London, was given a two-year suspended sentence and ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work in 2014.
Last June he was ordered to repay £75,000 after a judge at Cardiff Crown Court found he had funds available to contribute towards the total amount he had defrauded.
Madu, who had transferred about £73,000 to his bank account in his native Nigeria, said the cash was to pay for healthcare and funeral costs for two relatives who had died within a short space of time.
However, he did not provide any evidence to support this claim and the crown court judge said he was "driven to conclude" the money had been moved because he knew efforts would be made to recover it.
On Wednesday Madu appeared before Lord Justice Hamblen, Sir John Saunders and Judge Nicholas Cooke QC at the Court of Appeal to challenge the confiscation order.
He broke down as he told the court he had to bear significant costs following the illness and death of his sister, which he said happened around the time of his confiscation hearing.
He also said the only way he could get the proof he needed was to travel to Nigeria, which he could not afford to do.
Rejecting his appeal, Sir John Saunders said: "We are satisfied that there is simply no arguable ground of appeal in this case and this application is therefore refused."
Madu did locum work while suspended with pay in 2009 amid an investigation into his training record and after submitting sick notes from January 2010 which said he was unable to work due to stress.
Madu, who earned close to £100,000 a year, went on to do locum work worth about £69,000 with three NHS trusts in England while still earning more than £29,000 from his employers in Wales, while employed at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales.
This secondary employment was never declared to his employer, as was legally required.

Finance Secretary Derek Mackay is negotiating with opposition MSPs to win backing for his budget.
The Greens and Lib Dems have outlined changes which could win them over, on tax and spending respectively.
MSPs voted on a Labour motion urging members to reject the budget "in its current form", but it was defeated.
Mr Mackay successfully amended the motion to one supportive of the government after the Greens abstained, but all opposition parties then united against the amended motion.
With the final vote tied at 63 to 63, the Presiding Officer's casting vote was against the motion, meaning nothing was agreed.
With the SNP a minority government, Mr Mackay will need a handful of opposition members to at least abstain in order to get his budget through Holyrood.
The draft budget bill will be published on Thursday, and there will be separate votes on the tax and spending proposals in February.
Scottish Labour has put forward a debate seeking a cross-party consensus against the government's budget proposals.
Deputy leader Alex Rowley said members had "the opportunity to send a message on the SNP's austerity budget".
He said: "The SNP in government has all been about spin and the short term, but Scotland's sluggish economy is because of a decade of cuts to education budgets. Our NHS is overwhelmed because care for the elderly has been underfunded.
"Labour has an alternate plan that would use the new powers of the Scottish Parliament to invest in our public services and grow our economy."
The finance secretary has indicated he could "not necessarily" find common ground with the Conservatives or Labour over the budget, but said discussions with the Lib Dems and Greens had shown "room for manoeuvre".
The Lib Dems have asked for "substantial changes", with up to £400m of extra spending on mental health, education, the police and transport.
The Greens, meanwhile, have asked for changes to income tax in return for their backing, which they say will "make the tax system fairer, reduce inequality in our society and generate additional funds for public services".
During the debate, each party promoted its own plans, although amendments from Willie Rennie and Patrick Harvie were rejected in the final votes.
The Conservatives, who also saw their amendment noting their position that "families and businesses in Scotland should not be taxed more than those elsewhere in the UK" defeated, criticised the pair as "Patsy Harvie and Willing Willie" for their attempt to "gain a few minutes of glory as saviours of the SNP budget".
However, Mr Rennie said members had a responsibility to work constructively to strike a budget deal, warning that failure to do so could potentially end in an election, something he said people in Scotland did not want.
Meanwhile, Mr Mackay lodged an amendment deleting the Labour motion in full, and noting that "government amendments to the budget reflecting the outcome of discussions with other parties can be made at any time during the scrutiny process", highlighting "constructive" discussions ongoing.
Ahead of the debate, Labour highlighted figures in the budget showing the core funding going into council budgets falling by £327m, which they said was "cutting into our future".
However, the SNP has said this does not take into account funding which will go direct to schools and health and social care partnerships, which they said would boost local services by several hundred million pounds.
Mr Mackay has said Labour are "just wrong" about the budget and are working in a "Better Together alliance" with the Conservatives.
He said: "What the Labour Party are proposing to do is vote with the Tories against the Scottish budget, and in that budget we're proposing to allocate hundreds of millions of pounds more for our public services - to the NHS, to education and to local services.
"It's Labour that will be passing on austerity to the households of Scotland.
"Scotland is a wealthy and successful nation. The threat to Scotland's economy right now is Brexit and the Scottish government has set out a plan to put Scotland in the best possible position."
Today's debate chiefly served to show how divided Holyrood is over the budget.
Labour had hoped to find some consensus for their motion rejecting the current draft - and so did the SNP, via Derek Mackay's amendment pointing out that the current draft is subject to change, pending negotiation.
Mr Mackay won round one, thanks to the Greens abstaining, but there was no consensus at the end of the day.
So what does this mean for the budget? The signs were not particularly encouraging.
Willie Rennie, who I still regard as the most likely partner for Mr Mackay in a budget deal, said there remains a "huge gap" between the Lib Dems and the SNP over the budget.
Patrick Harvie, the other leading suitor, said he hadn't seen any willingness to compromise from the government - and warned Mr Mackay about "brinksmanship".
Mr Harvie again underlined that his key demand is over tax. While nothing is set in stone, Derek Mackay is fairly determined not to compromise over tax - which is why I still see the Lib Dems, whose proposals are for spending, in pole position.
But equally, Mr Rennie has set a high price - £400m - and is determined not to sell his votes too cheaply. If this vote serves to do anything, it may have upped the ante in the backroom negotiations.
Five white police officers were shot dead by a black man, Micah Johnson, during a protest rally on Thursday.
The march was against the killing of black men by police. Two deaths this week have led to nationwide protests.
Mr Obama said "it was just not true" the US was returning "to the situation in the 60s".
His comments, on the side of a Nato summit in Warsaw, echoed those earlier of Vice-President Joe Biden, who said Americans had a duty to stand up against injustice, but that people also needed to support police.
Johnson, who was himself killed during the assault in Dallas, supported black militant groups who encouraged violence against police.
Dallas police chief David Brown said Johnson had told a negotiator that he had wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers, because he was angry about the recent shootings of black men by police.
The attack came after the police killings of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana.
Mr Obama said Americans of "all races, all backgrounds", including many of those who were protesting, were outraged by the Dallas killings.
The unity shown in the wake of the attack was a strong foundation on which to build, he said.
"When you start suggesting that, somehow, there is this enormous polarisation and we are back to the situation in the 60s, it's just not true," he said.
"You are not seeing riots and you are not seeing police going after people who are protesting peacefully.
"We have seen almost uniformly peaceful protests and we have seen, uniformly, police handling those protests with professionalism.
"And so, as tough, as hard, as depressing as the loss of life this week, we have got a foundation to build on. We just have to have confidence that we can build on those better angels of our nature."
He also repeated his call for urgent action on gun control, saying anyone who cared "about the safety of our police officers" had a duty to address the issue.
As well as the five police officers killed, another seven were injured. Two civilians were also hurt.
The shootings of police officers have made even the critics of the police force here soften their language.
One of these critics, Greg Johnson, a stage technician, came into a convenience store with a colleague, Keelen Whitfield, during their lunch break.
Mr Johnson said he resented the way police officers carry heavy weaponry and artillery when dealing with the community. He said that they tote around the kind of weapons used in war zones.
"Why do you have to got so militarised?" he said.
Still, he didn't condone the violence. "At the end of the day, those police officers - they're innocent," he said.
Mr Whitfield said he hoped that the shootings, however brutal, might change things.
"The police may get the message to kind of tone it down on African-Americans."

Johnson, 25, who officials say acted alone, was killed by remotely detonated explosives that were sent into a car park where he had taken refuge after the shootings.
He was a member of the US Army Reserve from 2009 to 2015 who had served in Afghanistan.
Bomb-making material, rifles and a combat journal were found his home in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite.
A number of gun attacks involving police officers and civilians have occurred in other parts of the US in the aftermath of the deaths in Minnesota and Louisiana.
The violence was also addressed by US tennis player Serena Williams after she won her 22nd Grand Slam title at Wimbledon on Saturday.
"I do have nephews that I'm thinking, 'Do I have to call them and tell them, don't go outside. If you get in your car, it might be the last time I see you?'
"I don't think that the answer is to continue to shoot our young black men in the United States."
Protests against the recent police killings took place on Friday in cities including Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans and San Francisco.
Leaders of the Black Lives Matter organisation have condemned the Dallas killings but say planned marches, including a "Weekend of Rage" in Philadelphia, will go ahead.
A Black Lives Matter march was also held in London on Friday.
The 65-year-old led La Roja to victory at the 2010 World Cup, the first in their history, and a second successive European Championship in 2012.
He took over as boss after Luis Aragones led Spain to their first major trophy at the 2008 Euros.
Del Bosque told Spain's Radio Nacional: "I have no intention to remain as coach."
He added: "No matter what the result of the Euros, I had no doubt about what my future would be."
He offered to resign after Spain's exit at the group stage of the 2014 World Cup, but was convinced to stay.
Spain won their opening Euro 2016 games against the Czech Republic and Turkey before a defeat by Croatia meant they finished as Group D runners-up, leading to the second-round match against Italy.
Del Bosque took over as Spain boss following spells in charge of La Liga outfit Real Madrid and Turkish side Besiktas.
He led Real to two European Cups, two Spanish league titles, one European Super Cup and one World Club Cup during four years in charge.
Juergen Kantner was abducted from his yacht off Malaysia's Sabah state in November. His companion Sabine Merz's body was later found on the boat.
A deadline for a 30m peso (£483,000; $600,000) ransom expired on Sunday.
Mr Kantner, 70, and Ms Merz had been abducted before. They were held for 52 days in 2008 by Somali pirates and were released after a ransom was paid.
The video, reported by the SITE militancy-monitoring group, shows Mr Kantner being killed by a knife-wielding man.
Government envoy Jesus Dureza confirmed the killing.
"Up to the last moment, many sectors, including the armed forces, exhausted all efforts to save his life. We all tried our best but to no avail," he said.
Abu Sayyaf is one of the smallest and most violent jihadist groups in the southern Philippines, known for its brutality, including beheadings.
It has pledged allegiance to so-called Islamic State and has carried out kidnappings of foreigners and Filipinos. Some have been released for ransoms but a number are still being held.
Who are Abu Sayyaf?
The IS threat in South East Asia
The German foreign ministry said in a statement that there was no longer any reasonable doubt that the German abducted in the Philippines was dead.
"We are deeply shocked by the inhuman and gruesome act," it added.
A Philippine police report said Mr Kantner had been killed in the Indanan area of southern Sulu province on Sunday afternoon.
However, no body has yet been recovered.
The Philippine military had carried out air strikes on Abu Sayyaf positions in Sulu over the weekend as the deadline approached.
After the German couple's yacht, the Rockall, was found off Laparan Island in Sulu province on 7 November, Abu Sayyaf had issued an audio message saying it was responsible for the abduction.

Ms Merz was apparently killed as she tried to resist the militants.
A year after Juergen Kantner was kidnapped off the coast of Somalia in 2008 he returned - to pick up his yacht and to carry on sailing in the region.
This decision, and the second abduction in November, sparked a debate in Germany about the extent to which individuals have a responsibility to avoid danger.
Commentators discussed whether it was brave or reckless to go sailing in some of the world's most dangerous seas that were plagued by pirates - particularly given that the German government had reportedly paid huge sums in ransom to release Mr Kantner and his partner the first time they were abducted.
But Mr Kantner justified his decision by saying that after 32 years on his boat he had no friends left in Germany, and that everything he owned was on his yacht.
"My boat is my life and I don't want to lose it," he said at the time. "I want to live and die sailing."

His spell of 3-9 saw the hosts all out for 248, losing 5-27 in 12 overs to concede a first innings lead of 45.
England then slipped to 28-3 at lunch and were only 107 ahead when Moeen Ali became the fifth man to depart.
But Stokes hit three sixes in a superb 85, putting on 127 with Jonny Bairstow (47) as England closed on 228-8.
Stokes finished with 4-26 - the best figures by any overseas pace bowler at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium - and England will be confident of maintaining their 100% record against the Tigers, having won all eight of their previous encounters.
The match remains delicately poised, though, after Shakib Al Hasan's 15th five-wicket haul gave the home side hope.
England had gained the momentum when Stokes took the important wicket of Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim shortly before the close on day two.
And the tourists were handed an early gift on the third morning as Shakib charged down the wicket with a wild lunge at Moeen and was stumped off the second ball of the day.
Stokes bowled with hostility, sending down deliveries consistently close to 90mph and striking the dangerous Sabbir Rahman - who hit three fours in his 19 - on the helmet with a bouncer.
The all-rounder extracted movement away from the bat off the seam and reverse swing inwards as England chose not to take the second new ball.
Leg-spinner Adil Rashid had nightwatchman Shafiul Islam caught at mid-on and, in the next over, Stokes swung one in to trap Mehedi Hasan Miraz lbw for one, before quickly capturing the final two wickets in four balls.
It was another sultry day, with temperatures feeling like 41C (105F) in the high humidity.
After his superb bowling display in the heat - a 10-over spell either side of the day two close yielding 4-10 - Stokes was back at the crease in the 19th over of England's second innings.
He was impressively circumspect in the high-pressure situation, waiting 40 balls to hit his first boundary. However, supported by the consistently purposeful Bairstow, he began to deflate the home side and their supporters.
The left-hander reached his half-century from 102 balls with a six and, after Bairstow edged on to his stumps three short of a fifth successive fifty, Stokes recorded a third maximum with a mighty blow into the stands at mid-wicket.
He finally fell lbw after missing a sweep in the 65th over, unselfishly not opting for the review despite pleas from partner Chris Woakes.
For the second time in the match, England lost their top three within 12 overs, stifling the rapid progress made by the bowlers.
Bangladesh began with spin from both ends and captain Alastair Cook's modest display with the bat in his record-breaking 134th Test ended when he edged another sharply turning delivery from debutant Mehedi to slip, the 18-year-old's seventh wicket of the match.

Key batsman Joe Root made only a single before he was lbw sweeping in the next over, his review merely confirming the ball would have struck the middle of middle stump.
Ben Duckett (15) completed a challenging debut when he was caught at short-leg off the glove in the final over before lunch, while Gary Ballance's troubles continued when he fell for just nine after sweeping straight to leg slip.
But the strength of England's middle order was borne out again as they became the first team to have seven successive partnerships of over 50 for the sixth wicket.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes on BBC Test Match Special: "It would be nice to get a few more, we're lucky in that sense that we've got a really strong batting line-up, so hopefully we can get up to 320.
"Sometimes it was quite tough to control how much the ball was going to swing but I've been working a lot of reverse swing and we were very careful to keep the ball in good nick, Rooty has been non-stop keeping the smooth side shiny and the rough side as dry as possible.
"Reverse swing is a massive weapon and we have three seamers who can all do really really good reverse swing skills.
"We didn't have the greatest start with the bat, we were a bit shocked with how many wickets we lost, but there was so much time left in the game that it was a matter of occupying the crease, rotating the strike and putting the bad balls away.
"The pitch is very similar to how it was in our first innings, once the shine came off and the ball got soft it was a bit easier but against the spinners with the new ball - one spinning, one picking up pace and skidding on - it was very tough."
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew
Stokes and Bairstow came together with England in dire straits but patiently they built the partnership that should win the match.

Stokes has played superbly and, slightly in his shadow because he came in afterwards, Bairstow was very good as well.
At 62-5, this game was firmly in the balance but the whole complexion has changed. Stokes accelerated but he did the hard yards to start with and paced the innings beautifully.
Former England women's batter Ebony Rainford-Brent
What I liked about Stokes and Bairstow's partnership is that they were playing in conditions which don't suit their natural game.
Stokes found the perfect balance between knocking the ball into gaps and hitting the boundaries. He's changed the course of the Test match.
WSL 2 clubs were invited to apply to replace Notts, who folded in April.
Everton finished top of the WSL 2 Spring Series in May, but no promotions were scheduled between the divisions.
Doncaster Rovers Belles were the only other club to apply and have seven days to appeal against the decision.
The FA's decision will be ratified at the league's annual general meeting on 28 June.
The Belles, who finished second behind Everton, had expressed "disappointment" regarding the application process, claiming the FA was looking for a "particular type of club".
The 'rebalancing' of the two WSL tiers will see 10 teams in WSL 1 and 10 teams in WSL 2 for 2017-18, which will be the first winter season since the competition switched away from a summer calendar in 2011.
Everton are one of four second-tier clubs who are affiliated with a men's Premier League side, along with Brighton, Watford, and promoted Tottenham.
Andy Spence's Toffees won seven of their nine league games in the Spring Series, finishing four points clear of the Belles in the table.
Applications were said to be judged based on five criteria, weighted as follows:
Everton were originally founding members of the WSL, playing in the top flight from its formation in 2011 until they were relegated in 2014.
They had narrowly missed out on promotion back to WSL 1 in 2016, having also finished third the previous year.
"We knew it was a possibility that we could be promoted but to have it confirmed is welcome news," Everton's general manager Aaron Little told the club website.
"For the past number of weeks we have been planning for both scenarios in terms of player recruitment and retention.
"We are under no illusions how tough it will be. The standard of football within the women's game is increasing year on year but we are ready to make our mark."
A statement from the Belles said: "We put forward a strong application and are naturally disappointed not to have been promoted by way of application.
"But we will now concentrate on winning promotion through the league, as we have done in the past.
"We now have seven days to consider whether we appeal, and understand that we will be receiving a letter of explanation, whereupon the club's legal team will review the same and recommend a course of action.
"We would like to offer our congratulations to Everton Ladies, who showed in the Spring Series that they are ready for WSL 1."
The British company, which is already facing allegations of bribery in several countries, said it would "co-operate fully" with the SFO.
Earlier this month, Chinese authorities accused GSK staff of bribing government and hospital officials in the country.
GSK refused to comment on whether the SFO's criminal investigation was connected to any specific incident.
In a short statement, the firm said it was "committed to operating its business to the highest ethical standards".
The pharmaceutical giant, which is one of the largest companies in the UK, is also facing inquiries into similar allegations in Poland and Iraq.
If the allegations are proved, GSK may have violated both the UK Bribery Act and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
It is illegal for companies based in the US or UK to bribe government employees abroad.
In a statement, the Serious Fraud Office confirmed it had "opened a criminal investigation into the commercial practices of GlaxoSmithKline plc and its subsidiaries".
The agency added that "whistleblowers are valuable sources of information to the SFO in its cases" and that it welcomes "approaches from anyone with inside information on all our cases, including this one".
In April, BBC Panorama heard from whistleblower Jarek Wisniewiski, a former sales rep for GSK in the Polish region of Lodz, who told the programme that doctors had been paid to promote the company's asthma drug Seretide.
Eleven doctors in the country and a GSK regional manager were charged over alleged corruption between 2010 and 2012, BBC Panorama revealed.
Last July, Chinese authorities announced they were investigating GSK, detaining four Chinese GSK executives.
GSK has previously confirmed that it informed the SFO, as well as the US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission, about the Chinese investigation.
Dane Magnussen will partner Britain's Jolyon Palmer after the sponsors of Venezuelan Maldonado, 30, failed to make contracted payments to the team.
Magnussen, 23, finished 11th in the drivers' championship with McLaren in 2014 before making way for the return of Fernando Alonso last season.
He operated as test and reserve driver for 2015 before being released.
Magnussen said his F1 career would have been over had he not been picked by Renault.
"This was make or break," he said. "Luckily, I made it.
"This is a massive opportunity because not many drivers get a second chance. I've been given a second chance and a very good chance with a top team. I can't tell you how happy I am."
Maldonado said he felt "proud" of his record in F1 after spending three years with Williams and two with Lotus, the forerunner of Renault.
He won one race, the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix for Williams, but became more widely known for his involvement in numerous accidents and incidents.
He drove for Lotus thanks to the financial backing of Venezuela's national oil company, PDVSA.
It was contracted to pay $46m (£33.6m) for 2016, but the Venezuelan economy is facing major difficulties as a result of plunging oil prices.
The money did not arrive and Renault decided to terminate his contract.
Maldonado revealed he was leaving in a statement but did not give a reason for his departure, nor identify his replacement.
Renault have refused to comment on the move, saying it would confirm its plans for the season at an event in Paris on Wednesday.
The company will also reveal its 2016 car, its official team name and confirm Frenchman Frederic Vasseur as head of the F1 team.
Vasseur has been the boss of the successful ART GP2 team,
Cyril Abiteboul, a former team boss of Caterham, remains in his more senior position as managing director of Renault Sport.
Food crime is the deliberate manipulation, substitution, mislabelling or fraud in relation to food.
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) and Crimestoppers have created the free Scottish Food Crime Hotline.
People will be able to call in their suspicions anonymously.
The new service will aid the FSS's Scottish Food Crime and Incidents Unit, established following the 2013 discovery that horse meat was being passed off as beef in frozen foods.
The unit gathers intelligence, along with other agencies, to target food fraudsters who cost the UK food and drink industry an estimated £1.17bn annually.
Members of the public will also be able to report concerns using a non-traceable online form.
Geoff Ogle, FSS chief executive, said: "Consumers have a right to know that the food they are buying and eating is both safe and authentic. Food crime is damaging for the public and the industry, eroding trust and value.
"The launch of the free Scottish Food Crime Hotline is one of a number of steps FSS is taking to address the problem in Scotland.
"We hope it will raise awareness of the issue of food crime and give consumers a trusted point of contact to report concerns in complete anonymity.
"The intelligence we receive will be invaluable in advancing our work with Police Scotland and other agencies to hold to account those who put consumer safety at risk for financial gain."
Public health minister Aileen Campbell said: "Scotland is known the world over for the quality of its food and drink.
"This initiative is a practical and powerful way to tackle the problem of food crime. I would encourage both consumers and industry to make use of the hotline or online reporting form to anonymously share any concerns and help us stamp out fraudulent practices."
Director of policy and campaigns at the consumer group Which? Alex Neill said its research found food fraud ranging from fish and chip shops substituting whiting for haddock, to takeaways serving lamb dishes without any lamb.
She said: "The horsemeat scandal uncovered shocking failings with the authenticity of the food reaching our plates. We welcome the launch of this new food crime hotline which should help FSS gather intelligence about fraudulent practices and allow them to tackle these crimes head on so people can be more confident in the food they eat."
The new free hotline number - 0800 028 7926 - will be operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Gary Rolinson ran the 500+ driving school in Kingswinford when he abused the boys over a period of two years.
One victim said the 60-year-old would rub his legs to "congratulate" him for driving well, or "squeeze" parts of his body if he "did something wrong".
Rolinson, now living in Llandrindod Wells, was jailed for four years after a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
Read more on this story and others from across Birmingham and Black Country
He was found guilty of 12 counts of of sexual assault and one of causing a person to engage in sexual activity.
West Midlands Police described Rolinson as "a predatory offender" who told the boys they would not be believed if they reported he assaults.
One victim told the BBC: "To congratulate you for doing something right, say checking a blind spot before pulling off, he would move his hands over and start to rub your leg.
"If you did something wrong he'd squeeze certain parts of your body."
He added: "It's been such a lengthy process. The amount of stress that's been put on me and my family has been unreal."
After the sentencing, Det Insp Sarah Booth said: "Some of the victims have also said that they felt embarrassed and that they didn't want to tell their parents, because they felt their parents would be upset because they had arranged Rolinson to be instructors for them."
Rolinson must also sign the sex offenders register for life.
Ibrahimovic set the champions on the way to their biggest home win of the season with his 31st league goal.
Blaise Matuidi made it 2-0 in first-half stoppage time before Edinson Cavani and Angel di Maria both struck.
Ibrahimovic then made it four goals in 11 minutes before Maxwell's late goal.
Sweden international Ibrahimovic, 34, became the first player to score more than 30 goals in a season in France's top division since Argentine striker Carlos Bianchi scored 37 for PSG in 1977-78.
His total of 32 goals is also the most Ibrahimovic has managed in a league season in what is set to be his last at PSG before ending a four-year spell at the Parc des Princes in the summer.
PSG are still chasing a domestic treble as they play Lille in the League Cup final next Saturday, following a French Cup semi-final at Lorient next Tuesday night.
Paris St-Germain coach Laurent Blanc: "We lifted our heads out of the water.
"But this win did not wipe anything away. It won't allow us to play in the Champions League semi-final. But it's important for the rest of the season."
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said the technique was "purely a means of pain compliance".
It also questioned why some smaller forces were more likely to use Tasers.
The Association of Chief Police Officers said point-blank firing was sometimes necessary.
Tasers were introduced into British policing in 2003 as a non-lethal alternative for firearms officers facing potentially dangerous suspects.
Each force now has officers who can be authorised to use them in a wider range of situations.
While there had been high-profile instances of alleged abuse, the IPCC said, the rate of complaints remained low.
The watchdog said it acknowledged that the Taser was "a valuable tool" in helping police to manage difficult and challenging situations - but forces must do more to guard against its overuse.
But it warned that one technique, known as "drive stun" - where the Taser is held against the subject's body and the trigger pulled with no probes being fired, causing pain but not an incapacitating effect - was still being used in 16% of firings, despite officers no longer being trained to deploy the weapon in this fashion.
IPCC Commissioner James Dipple-Johnstone said: "The IPCC has major concerns about the use of Tasers in 'drive stun mode', where the Taser is applied directly to the body without a cartridge, rather than fired from a distance.
"When used in this way it is purely a means of pain compliance.
"Yet in several of the cases we reviewed, where it was used for the purpose of gaining compliance, it had the opposite effect, stimulating further resistance."
While officers were not trained to use the drive stun option, they were still being shown that the option existed.
"This seems counter-intuitive if they are not supposed to be doing so," said the watchdog's report.
"There is a risk, given the increase in Taser use, that police officers could become increasingly reliant on using force to gain compliance.
"This is particularly apparent in drive-stun mode which generates a considerable number of complaints."
Neil Basu from the Association of Chief Police Officers said: "The IPCC rightly identify that police do not teach the use of 'drive stun' with the cartridge off.
"However, it cannot be completely removed from training as there may be emergency circumstances where it is needed."
An example could be where an officer was attacked whilst reloading his, or her, weapon after an initial firing missed the intended target, he suggested.
He also said that "angled drive stun" - where the officer fires the weapon with a live cartridge installed, and then holds the Taser against a different part of the subject's body, to cause incapacitation, and which he called a "viable tactic" - may have been being confused with a "drive stun" and reported incorrectly.
"We anticipate that instances of drive stun will reduce significantly over the coming months and years."
In 2013, Tasers were deployed 10,380 times across England and Wales - and there were 154 complaints - a rate that has remained consistent over 10 years. In roughly eight out of 10 cases the Taser is not fired because a suspect complies with an order after seeing it unholstered. Fifteen of the complaints related to "drive stun" incidents.
The IPCC called on officers to do more to justify uses of the Taser against suspects already in custody or vulnerable people such as children or those with a mental disorder.
It said it also wanted to further investigate why some smaller forces were more likely to deploy the device than their larger neighbours.
Staffordshire Police used a Taser 33 times for every 100 officers in 2013 - almost three times the rate of use by West Midlands Police.

After a goalless first quarter, Giselle Ansley converted the first penalty corner of GB's second Group B game.
Nicola White bundled in from close range to give the London 2012 bronze medallists a 2-0 half-time lead.
Alex Danson hammered in the third, following good work from Lily Owsley, as Britain followed up the opening win against Australia.
Danny Kerry's side have slipped to seventh in the world rankings after a disappointing Champions Trophy in June.
But they have made an impressive start in Brazil against both the third-ranked Australians and India, who are the lowest-ranked team in the group at 13th in the world.
Team GB top Group B with six points, ahead of the United States on goal difference.
With the introduction of a quarter-final stage, they only need to finish in the top four of their six-team group to qualify.
Britain meet Argentina, ranked second in the world and the current Champions Trophy holders, on Wednesday.
Great Britain goalscorer Giselle Ansley:
"It wasn't our most polished performance but three points are three points. And six from the first two games, you can't ask for more than that.
"It was my first Olympic goal so I'm over the moon."

He has defended the history of colonialism, saying that it would be best if African countries were still colonised, and has also used language to describe black people which many consider racist - for which he has apologised.
Here is a selection of some of the quotes.
They were 2-0 down after 16 minutes and played for 70 minutes with 10 men after Gaston Ramirez was sent off.
The Teessiders are nine points off safety with five matches left and could be relegated as early as next Sunday.
"We can only blame ourselves and nobody else. It's hard to take," said former England player Downing.
"Sorry to the fans, they've travelled a long way. They've been first class all season."
Boro had started the day six points from safety, knowing victory at the Vitality Stadium would leave them with a fighting chance of staying up.
However, fellow strugglers Swansea and Hull both won to leave Middlesbrough in grave danger of returning to the Championship a year after winning promotion.
Boro are without a league win in 16 attempts and have scored only 23 goals in 33 matches. Indeed, Bournemouth striker Joshua King has scored five goals more than Middlesbrough in the Premier League in 2017.
They conceded after just 96 seconds at Bournemouth, leaving head coach Steve Agnew to accuse his side of "naive defending".
"In a way, we lost the game in the first 10 minutes. That's not like us - it was really poor defending. Playing short passes on the edge of the area is why we've been conceding.
"It was naive defending. We made mistakes, got punished and it made it a very difficult afternoon. There's angry and disappointed players in there but we'll all be in tomorrow morning and address the situation."

Former Liverpool and Wales striker Dean Saunders on Final Score: "Middlesbrough, at the start of the season, would have been happy to finish the season fourth from bottom.
"But their tactic from the first game was counter-attacking, and if you barely create chances in multiple matches your forwards lose confidence. That then resulted in [sacked manager] Aitor Karanka trying to change tactics, and they have never settled on a successful formula."
Swansea are two points from safety with four games left after a 2-0 win over Stoke ended a three-match losing run.
Swans boss Paul Clement admitted he had one ear on the match involving relegation rivals Hull, who beat Watford 2-0.

"I knew at half-time it was 0-0 at Hull and they were down to 10 men. It is a terrific result for them," he added. "I did feel it would be a game they would win. We have to concentrate on our jobs.
"Hull are in the driving seat but we will chase them down until the last moment. Nothing changed between us and Hull but what has changed is we have got momentum now."
Hull have a two-point cushion over their chasers with four games to go following a gutsy 2-0 win over Watford - despite playing 65 minutes with 10 men.
Although the Tigers have now won 19 points out of a possible 21 at home under Marco Silva, the Portuguese boss has yet to win away from home.

"I want too much to win away because it's really important," said Silva. "It was a really important win. I'm really happy when our club fighting the way we have and we will continue to fight to keep our club in the Premier League."
Bournemouth went into their home game with Middlesbrough on the back of a four-match winless run, raising fears they could be dragged into the battle for survival.
Yet Eddie Howe's men moved four places up the table to 12th, seven points above the relegation zone with four games to play, after a comprehensive win.
Only a disastrous finish will prevent the Cherries from playing in the top flight for a third successive season.

"We've still got more points to get but we're looking upwards to see where we can finish," said Howe.
"We've always said we want to surpass last season's total of 42 points and we're closing in on that [they now have 38]. If we can play as we did today, we'll be fine."
Former Liverpool and Wales striker Dean Saunders on Final Score: "Credit to Bournemouth, because for some clubs who are all but safe at this stage of the season it's tempting to put the sunglasses on. Bournemouth haven't."
Bottom club Sunderland did not play on Saturday but they are 12 points off safety with six matches remaining and could be relegated next weekend.
They face local rivals and fellow relegation candidates Middlesbrough on Wednesday and may finally be put out of their misery by Bournemouth next Saturday. Even if the Black Cats do manage to avoid the drop for another week or so, their last two games of the season are away to Arsenal and Chelsea respectively on 16 and 21 May.
The document drawn up at the peace talks in Havana will give priority to Farc recruits under the age of 15.
They will be treated as victims of war and will be pardoned when Colombian law permits it.
The accord will extend to all fighters under 18 and the children will be returned to their families if possible.
The Farc agreed to help identify the children and organise their departure from their military hideouts.
The UN and other agencies are to be invited to oversee the children's reintegration into society.
Both sides have not said how many children and adolescents in total still remain in the Farc although the group has said it has 13 soldiers aged under 15 in its ranks.
According to the government's child protection agency, around 6,000 children have left armed groups in the last 17 years of which 60% belonged to the Farc.
Hoping to sign a peace deal in the coming weeks, the government and Farc agreed to use constitutional means to protect the accord from political interference in the future.
Both sides are still negotiating the terms of a permanent ceasefire.
They have already signed accords on agrarian reform, the transformation of the Farc into a political party, on justice and the war against drugs and on de-mining and the search for the disappeared.
Bassist Peter Hook, who went on to form New Order with his remaining bandmates, has now written a book about the Joy Division years.
He discusses the continuing guilt over Curtis's suicide and his current "war" with other band members.
In the book, you say you were inspired to form a band by watching The Sex Pistols in Manchester in 1976. What would you be doing now if you had not been at that gig?
"That is something thankfully I'll never know. The only love I've ever had, apart from music, is cars. So I always imagine that I would have gone to work in a scrap yard."
Has researching and writing the book given you a different perspective on the band?
"The thing that made me feel sad about it was the ongoing fracas with the other members, with what I feel is the wrong use of the New Order name and also the dissatisfaction I feel with the way they've handled the affairs going forward.
"I probably would have looked at it a lot more fondly if I wasn't in court with the other members very shortly.
[Guitarist Bernard Sumner and drummer Stephen Morris are continuing to tour as New Order but Hook is contesting their use of the name and the financial arrangements.]
"To be at war with somebody, especially the way Bernard and I are, and the only way you carry it out is in the press, is a very pathetic schoolboy thing. It's just happened with them in The Guardian and me now. It always leaves a bad taste in the mouth."
Didn't writing the book make you think life is too short for squabbles like this?
"It's human nature for you to be gladiatorial, isn't it? I don't want to sit there for the rest of my life thinking what they did was wrong and have to suffer it. I'd rather fight and at least I can say I had a go.
"The last thing I want is their descendants laughing at my descendants in the future. It's an odd situation, but it is about business."
Joy Division were such an important band, but this book is about four mates having a laugh on the road and doing what lads do. Do you think the subsequent mythology has built the band up to be something they were not?
"While I was in New Order we completely ignored anything to do with Joy Division. The myth was good: 'They all think we're dead arty and intelligent and intellectual.'
"I'm happy to buy into the myth, so when I came to writing the book I was wary about breaking it. Do people want to know that Ian used to urinate in ashtrays? Do people want to know that Bernard used to eat his dinner in the bath?"
Some might have expected you to use the book as an opportunity to stick the boot into Bernard and the others.
"Strangely enough the others thought that too. It wasn't on my mind.
"There are certain things I think are sacrosanct and you shouldn't underestimate the part that Bernard played in creating Joy Division's sound; you shouldn't underestimate the part that Stephen played in it or Ian or me. We were at our best in that period."
You say you "hated" your debut album Unknown Pleasures after it was recorded. Why?
"As far as Bernard and I were concerned, we were in a punk band. In the studio, [producer] Martin Hannett turned us into a normal group and Bernard and I didn't want that - we wanted to sound like The Sex Pistols.
"I said 'I don't like it' and went and had a huff in the corner. We didn't have the vision to see past that, but he did give it such fantastic production - he gave it timelessness."
How has it been looking back at Ian's death, and what you could have done differently?
"When you put it all in a timeline, it was a shock to see how intense the work was around nearly every episode the poor boy had.
"He'd have a really bad fit one night and be at a gig the next day. He was self-harming and was at a gig the next day. The first suicide attempt, he was at a gig the next day. To look at it on paper, I thought, this is ridiculous.
"It still makes me feel guilty and in many ways it explains why the ending came. If we'd have cancelled all the gigs and got him rested and well and got him help, we might not have got the nasty ending that we did. But we'll never know.
"I must admit that Ian didn't want that, Ian didn't want us to stop, and that was the big problem. We were all just glad to hear from him that he was OK and happy to carry on."
What are your memories of Ian in the good times?
"He wasn't a morose chap. He was happy a lot of the time and was very sincerely happy about Joy Division's success and the hard work that we'd put in.
"He struck me as a very generous person to work with. After working with a lot of people over the years, you don't meet many people who have his attitude. I remember him very fondly."
Unknown Pleasures by Peter Hook is published on 1 October. Hook's new band The Light will perform Joy Division material on a UK tour in November and December before playing New Order's first two albums Movement and Power Corruption And Lies in January.
He must register as a sex offender and faces a possible prison term for exchanging explicit texts with a 15-year-old girl last year.
The 52-year-old's estranged wife, Huma Abedin, filed for divorce on Friday after seven years of marriage.
Weiner quit Congress in 2011 over a sex scandal and was again exposed in his 2013 run for New York mayor.
He was reportedly wearing his wedding band as he entered his plea on Friday morning at a Manhattan court.
Weiner was released on bail, pending sentencing on 8 September.
As part of his plea agreement, federal prosecutors said they would consider a term between 21-27 months "fair and appropriate".
Weiner cried in court as he said: "I have a sickness, but I don't have an excuse."
He acknowledged it was "morally wrong" and unlawful to have knowingly sent obscene messages between January and March last year to a North Carolina girl whom he knew to be 15 years old.
Weiner paused to compose himself as he read from a letter he prepared for his plea.
"Beginning with my service in Congress and continuing into the first half of last year," his statement said, "I have compulsively sought attention from women who contacted me on social media.
"These destructive impulses brought great devastation to my family and friends, and destroyed my life's dream of public service.
"And yet I remained in denial as the world around me fell apart."
He went on: "This fall, I came to grips for the first time with the depths of my sickness. I had hit bottom."
Acting Manhattan US Attorney Joon H Kim praised the work of the FBI and the special victims' division of the New York City Police Department.
"Weiner's conduct was not only reprehensible, but a federal crime, one for which he is now convicted and will be sentenced," Mr Kim said.
The former congressman's sexting scandal made headlines during last year's US presidential election, and featured in the 2016 documentary Weiner.
During an investigation, FBI officials found emails on Weiner's laptop from his ex-wife, Ms Abedin, who was a top aide to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
An FBI investigation into Mrs Clinton's private use of email while she was secretary of state was closed after officials said nothing incriminating was found.
Anthony Weiner: Behind the scenes of a political marriage
The FBI began investigating Weiner last September after the Daily Mail reported that he had exchanged lewd messages with the North Carolina teenager.
The girl said he had asked her to undress on camera.
The girl's father told the British newspaper after Friday's plea deal was announced: "I don't know if it's justice.
"Just because he's pleading guilty doesn't mean he's going to do a bit of time."
A month earlier, Ms Abedin announced she was separating from her husband after it emerged he sent a photo of himself in his underpants with his toddler son nearby.
The New York Post reported that Weiner had sent sexual messages along with the alleged photo to an unidentified woman in 2015.
Once a rising Democratic star, he stepped down from Congress in June 2011 after a graphic image sent from his Twitter account went public.
Initially claiming his account was hacked, he eventually confessed to having lied.
Weiner also admitted indulging in explicit online exchanges with at least six other women and pledged to seek therapy.
He tried to revive his political career in 2013 by running for mayor of New York.
But his campaign imploded amid reports of further graphic online messages.
A total of 1,465 weapons, including hand guns, shotguns, rifles and tear gas, have been confiscated from adults during the same period.

North Wales Police released the figures after a Freedom of Information request.
The data was not available from Wales' other forces.

Dozens more were injured in the crush at Lilongwe's Bingu national stadium.
The stampede happened as thousands of people rushed for seats ahead of a friendly between top sides Nyasa Big Bullets and Silver Strikers.
Despite the deaths, the match did go ahead in a packed stadium, although President Peter Mutharika did not attend as planned.
He offered his condolences and said the government would do all it could to assist the families of the bereaved.
He said he was shocked to learn of the tragedy.

The BBC's Frank Kandu in Malawi said gates at the 40,000-capacity stadium were supposed to open at 06:30 local time (04:30GMT) to allow free entry of people - but there was a delay of about three hours.
However, thousands had already turned up, and some tried to force their way in, prompting the police to fire tear gas.
Inspector General of Police Lexan Kachama told Reuters news agency he expected the number of casualties to rise.
The football match was being held as part of events to mark the 53rd anniversary of Malawi's independence from British colonial rule.
When the match did go ahead, Nyasa Big Bullets won 2-1.
John Bainbridge, 54, was arrested by Nottinghamshire Police officers on Saturday.
The offence is alleged to have taken place in Vernon Road, Basford, in May 1986.
Mr Bainbridge, of Beckett Street, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, is accused of one count of rape and is due before Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Sir Bruce Keogh says ambulance services in some parts of the country are struggling and A&E units are stretched.
But he insists that forward planning and the injection of extra funding should help the NHS cope better than in previous winters.
The government has released an extra £300m bringing the total winter pot to £700m - 75% more than last year.
Sir Bruce made the comments at a conference at the King's Fund.
Speaking at the same meeting, Dr Clifford Mann, president of the College of Emergency Medicine, said that the system was facing huge demand pressures but was "working pretty well".
It comes as Gloucestershire's Hospitals Trust has declared a major incident, faced with no beds to fit up to sixty patients.
People are being told to only go to A&E if they have no other option - with services stretched.
Dr Mann raised the possibility that the NHS 111 helpline could be adding to the pressures on A&Es.
NHS 111 was launched in England in March 2013 as its predecessor NHS Direct was decommissioned.
It had a difficult start and was not immediately operational across the country. Scotland launched its 111 service in May this year.
The service was designed to help people who wanted medical help rapidly but not a 999 emergency response.
It is staffed by trained advisers backed up by experienced nurses and paramedics. Patients are directed, as appropriate, to accident and emergency centres, out-of-hours GPs, community health facilities or an ambulance.
Dr Mann said he had no criticism of NHS 111 staff but he had reservations about the methods for questioning patients to ascertain their condition.
He argued that the systems for trying to solve the problems (known as algorithms) too often led to operators directing patients to A&E or calling ambulances on their behalf.
Because the achievement of full national coverage by 111 had been slow, Dr Mann said the extra demand was only now becoming apparent.
The comments on the state of the NHS this winter came as ambulance services warned they were seeing unexpectedly high levels of demand.
The London Ambulance Service said the week beginning Monday, 8 December had been its busiest ever with a near 15% increase in serious cases compared with the previous year and it was seeking support from other ambulance services.
Director of operations Jason Killens said: "We have introduced a range of measures to help manage demand, including not sending an ambulance to more callers with less serious injuries and illnesses and instead giving them additional telephone advice or referring them to NHS 111."
The 19-year-old defender has agreed a two-year deal with the Reds, with the option of a further year.
"He still has a lot to work on but we think he has a lot of potential," head coach Dermot Drummy said.
"He has a wonderful opportunity to progress his career. He's one for the future but I'm sure he will be looking to play his part this season as well."

Callum McDougall, who has worked on nine Bonds, said Craig was "absolutely the first choice" of series producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.
"I know they're hoping for him to come back," McDougall told Radio 4's Today programme on Friday.
Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, where many of the Bond films were shot, is celebrating its 80th birthday.
Pinewood celebrates 80 years of film
The facility has been a significant part of the British film industry since opening in 1936.
Craig, 48, made his debut as Bond in 2006's Casino Royale, returning to the role in Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.
He has yet to commit to another instalment, prompting speculation as to who might replace him.
Asked on Friday morning who would be the next James Bond, McDougall said: "I wish I knew."
But he insisted the role was "absolutely" Craig's should he choose to continue as Ian Fleming's legendary spy.
Pinewood Studios was founded when Charles Boot, a builder with movie ambitions, bought Heatherden Hall and its estate in 1934.
A year later, Boot met J Arthur Rank and the two became partners in the studio project, releasing their first film, London Melody, in 1936.
The James Bond movies have a long history with Pinewood, beginning with the first Bond movie, Dr No, in 1962.
In addition to the Bond franchise, Pinewood has hosted Superman, Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Carry On films.
"It's literally a dream factory," said McDougall, who has been a part of the Bond "family" since The Living Daylights in 1987. "People will be staggered by the films we've made here."

The pontiff insisted that abortion remained a crime but said avoiding pregnancy was "not an absolute evil".
His remarks came in response to a question about how best to tackle the Zika outbreak across Latin America.
The virus has been linked to the microcephaly birth defects in babies, which can cause development problems.
Roman Catholic teachings currently ban the use of contraception.
"We must not confuse the evil consisting of avoiding a pregnancy with abortion," Pope Francis told reporters on a flight returning home from a visit to Mexico.
"Abortion is not a theological problem. It is a human problem, medical. One person is killed to save another. It is evil in itself, it is not a religious evil, it is a human evil," he said.
"Avoiding a pregnancy is not an absolute evil. In certain cases, as in this one, or in the one I mentioned of Blessed Paul VI, it is clear," he went on.
The 79-year-old was referring to a predecessor's decision to authorise nuns at risk of rape in Africa to use contraceptives.
The Pope's comments about avoiding pregnancy in areas where the Zika virus is prevalent are an immensely significant moment. While he does not specifically condone artificial contraception, which is against Roman Catholic teaching, he appears to signal an unexpected openness to the idea if used in order to prevent further infection.
Asked directly whether the Church would consider it permissible to use contraceptives in order to prevent transmission of Zika, Pope Francis said that in some cases the "lesser of two evils" could be applied and spoke of example of Blessed Paul VI, a Pope in the early 1960s who allowed nuns in Africa to use birth control in order to prevent them conceiving children from rape.
That leaves the door open to Catholic families in affected areas to follow their own consciences on the matter. However, the Pope made abundantly clear that abortion remained "a crime, an absolute evil," while birth control was not an "absolute" evil.
Scientists said on Thursday that links between the Zika virus and microcephaly have been strengthened by a study involving pregnant women in Brazil.
The research confirmed the presence of Zika virus in the amniotic fluid of two women who had had Zika-like symptoms during their pregnancies.
Brazilian experts say this suggests the virus can infect the foetus. But World Health Organisation experts caution the link is not proven and expect to release more information in the next few weeks.
The United Nations and aid organisations have urged countries hit by the virus to ensure women have access to contraception to reduce the risk of infection and the right to abortion should they decide to terminate a pregnancy.
Many Latin American countries outlaw abortion or allow it only if the mother's life is in danger.
After initially saying little about the outbreak, Catholic leaders in the region had recently begun to assert the Church's opposition to what it terms "artificial" birth control and abortion.
Instead of using condoms or the contraceptive pill, Church officials have been recommending abstinence or what they term natural family planning - scheduling sexual relations for the least fertile periods of a woman's menstrual cycle.
Earlier Mr Corbyn said there would be a "full and open selection process" in every seat if new constituency boundaries were in place before 2020.
His critics in the parliamentary party fear this would allow pro-Corbyn members to force them out.
Mr Smith said Mr Corbyn was prepared to see the party split.
"It's not much of an employer that says, you know, work for me and work harder or I'm going to sack you all - which is effectively what he's doing today," Mr Smith told the BBC.
He added: "I don't think he (Mr Corbyn) feels he can bring the party back together, that's why he's talking about re-selections because I think he is reconciled, I think he is fatalistic about the prospect of the party splitting apart and being destroyed.
"He just wants to control the Labour Party."
Mr Smith and Mr Corbyn are going head-to-head in Labour's leadership contest.
Although most Labour MPs want the veteran Labour left-winger and serial rebel during the New Labour years to stand aside - and never supported him as a leader in the first place - Mr Corbyn was the overwhelming choice for leader from the party's wider membership last year.
He is still believed to be supported by Labour members and registered supporters - which has led some critical MPs to fear the government's planned boundary review, due to be published in 2018 and reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600, could be used to replace them with Corbyn supporters.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has previously said there was "no way" the review would be used to allow the new wave of Corbyn-supporting Labour members to deselect MPs.
But taking questions after he launched his leadership campaign, Mr Corbyn said that if the next general election takes place on the revised boundaries: "There would be a full selection process in every constituency but the sitting MP... would have an opportunity to put their name forward.
"So there will be a full and open selection process for every constituency Labour Party through the whole of the UK."
Mr Corbyn's critics said this amounted to a deselection threat - but the leader's team said he had simply been setting out the existing rules.
However, the current rules state that selections following boundary changes are only open to sitting MPs.
Speaking afterwards, Mr Corbyn said the National Executive Committee was in charge of decisions about candidate selection.
During his campaign launch speech, he said if he remains as leader it will be "the job, the duty, the responsibility" of every Labour MP to "get behind the party" and take on the Conservative government.
He also vowed to tackle the "five ills of 21st Century Britain" - inequality, neglect, prejudice, insecurity and discrimination - if elected as PM.
Labour Party members, affiliated trade union supporters and so-called registered supporters are able to vote, although there are some key differences from the 2015 contest which Jeremy Corbyn won.

There was "genuine fear" of the impact on housing, jobs and the NHS, he told Parliament's The House magazine.
But he said Britain's pledge to take 20,000 Syrian refugees did not compare well with the efforts made by Germany.
He also called for a "visionary debate" on the EU referendum and said there was no "correct Christian view" on it.
The archbishop said he felt the referendum debate was not yet addressing questions about the UK's role in the world.
Archbishop Welby called on those who want to leave the EU to set out what Britain would be like after leaving in a variety of respects, including its international "attitude" and its values.
"And from those who want to stay, how would we change the European Union? How would we make it more effective if we remained in it? What's our vision?" he said.
The UK will vote on whether to remain in the EU or leave on 23 June.
The archbishop praised the "absolutely superb" humanitarian work Britain was doing in refugee camps surrounding Syria and Iraq.
However, he said Britain's pledge to accept 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020 did not compare well with the number accepted by Germany and urged the UK to take "our share".
"I was in Berlin, and the churches there are doing the most extraordinary things, as are the German people," the archbishop said. "They took 1.1 million last year. And it does make 20,000 over several years sound really very thin."
He recognised that some people had concerns about the pressure that new arrivals put on communities and services. The archbishop said: "There is a tendency to say 'those people are racist', which is just outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
"Fear is a valid emotion at a time of such colossal crisis.
"This is one of the greatest movements of people in human history. Just enormous. And to be anxious about that is very reasonable."
He said it was "really important" that fears were listened to, and resources put in place to address them.
Archbishop Welby also described fear about what would happen if the UK left the EU or remained as a "valid emotion" .
He adds: "I don't think there is one correct Christian view, one way or the other. You can't say 'God says you must vote this way or that way'."
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who is one of five cabinet ministers campaigning for the UK to leave the EU, welcomed the archbishop's comments on migration
He said: "These are rational comments from the archbishop - they're to be welcomed - but you wonder just how late they've come from various people in institutions, so I congratulate him.
"If you think back, for far too many years what's happened is that in a sense the elites have all said 'It's terrible to talk about immigration and if you do you're racist', so they've shut down the debate for many, many years."
Mr Duncan Smith said this was leading the debate about immigration to be "pushed to the margins, which is what you're seeing in Europe, and then political parties and people with very poor intentions and rather nasty motives then start to take this issue and that's where you lose control".
He added there should be a "system that controls migration", which he said would make it easier for people to assimilate into the UK and "bring talents and skills that are necessary to that community".
The prime minister's official spokeswoman said Mr Cameron agreed with Archbishop Welby's comments about migration, saying it was a "legitimate concern".
She added that the PM had taken a "range of measures to reduce migration from outside the EU" and had made it "a priory in the renegotiation that we have just had with our membership of the EU, where he has secured reforms to address this issue".
Meanwhile, former prime minister Tony Blair called for pro-EU campaigners to make their case with "passion, vigour and determination".
In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said the UK's destiny was to "lead in Europe" and warned leaving the EU would cause economic instability and "damage fundamentally".
In response, the Vote Leave campaign group said the UK would hand over "more money and more power to Brussels in return for some hollow promises" if it remained the EU.
The owners of Schoolcardshop announced on Wednesday that they had ceased trading, putting thousands of orders under threat.
But Devon-based Harrier LLC, which owns the Truprint brand, has promised to deliver all the cards before Christmas.
Harrier said the move was "a goodwill gesture".
Edinburgh-based Schoolcardshop converted schoolchildren's artwork into Christmas cards, with schools retaining a proportion of the money spent by families on the products.
On news of the company's demise, many parents took to social media expressing concern that their children's artwork had been lost.
Others were also worried that they would not receive their money back for orders placed.
But Schoolcardshop told BBC Scotland on Thursday that Harrier would pick up all the outstanding orders, with "the majority of deliveries" expected by the end of next week.
In a statement, Schoolcardshop owner Dynamic Colour said Harrier had stepped in after it explored "all options to preserve Schoolcardshop long enough for parents to receive their products".
Dynamic Colour added: "We appreciate the high level of anxiety this has understandably caused parents, children and schools who we worked with on this project.
"We would have liked nothing more than to have been able to complete this project successfully, but sadly we have been unable to do so.
"We have lost a company we love, our livelihoods and over a decade of hard work. But we are extremely happy and relieved to be able to give this positive news at the end of it all."
Harrier commercial director Darryll Allen said: "This is a goodwill gesture and there will be no charge. We are absolutely sure we can get all these cards out before Christmas."
Ian Jones told a parliamentary committee that reductions to the channel's funding could not "go on".
The UK government announced a 25% reduction to S4C's grant in 2015 - but this was frozen while a review took place.
The details of the review are yet to be announced by the UK government.
The outgoing chief executive Ian Jones and chairman of S4C Huw Jones said the lack of clarity over the review was creating a period of financial uncertainty.
They told the Welsh Affairs Select Committee the UK grant could be cut by £700,000 for 2017-2018, from from £6.762m to £6.058m.
The remainder of S4C's funding comes from £74.5m raised by the BBC licence fee arrangements.
However, the two heads of the channel said cuts to UK government funding would have a significant impact on S4C and that "they would cut everything else to the bone."
Mr Jones told the committee of MPs that since he became the chief executive there had been "cuts after cuts after cuts and it can't go on like that".
He said the board would look at further repeats, reducing subtitles and cutting the HD service if further cuts were made - but stressed that they would try to protect the high-definition service.
"We need to ensure that S4C doesn't become a second class service," he said.
Planting Peace, a US-based non-profit group that seeks to "spread peace in a hurting world", launched the flag near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on 17 August.
The balloon captured video with a GoPro camera as it floated 21.1 miles (34.1km) above earth for three hours.
Organisers said they wanted to declare space gay friendly, "in a peaceful, beautiful way".
The balloon and its flag returned to earth, but the episode was captured in striking footage that shows the planet's surface from above, with the sun beaming behind the flag.
The non-profit group said: "The primary purpose of this declaration is to support the ongoing fight for the fundamental human rights of our LGBTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer] family, moving us closer to a universal understanding that all people deserve to live freely and love freely without fear and discrimination."
It added that the stunt emphasised the need for the gay community to have a safe space in every corner of the universe.
As well as gay rights activism, Planting Peace runs humanitarian aid projects and environmental initiatives across the world.
It recently made headlines during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, with a billboard that showed US presidential candidate Donald Trump and then-aspiring Republican nominee Ted Cruz poised to kiss, with the slogan "Love trumps Hate. End homophobia".

Writing in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, US scientists looked at the virus in macaques, in the first study in primates for more than 20 years.
They found out how the virus damages the body and which genes it disrupts.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said the study was encouraging.
The virus, endemic in tropical areas of Africa and Latin America, can cause jaundice and kidney failure and mainly targets the liver.
It kills 50% of people infected if they are not treated, the WHO said. There are around 200,000 cases of the infection every year.
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, gave 20 macaques yellow fever. A control group were given the virus and the vaccine, to compare the results.
The study said within 24 hours of the virus, 90% of the animal's lymphocytes, or white blood cells, had been lost in all 20 animals, leaving it vulnerable to infection.
Yellow fever does not present in humans until quite a late stage, said lead author Ilhem Messaoudi in California, and there are no approved drugs to treat it, meaning early diagnosis is crucial for survival as it allows for rehydration and supportive care.
She said it was extremely challenging to get the vaccine to people in remote areas who need it and that it was not safe for babies and the elderly.
The loss of white blood cells occurred before changes in the liver, the study found, meaning if this translated to humans, doctors could spot it earlier and the chances of survival could be improved.
Researchers also looked at the macaques' genes and 800 were found to have been switched on within 72 hours of the initial infection, compared to the control group.
Twenty-five percent of the monkeys survived the infection, said Ms Messaoudi. She said she would now be looking at what it was, genetically, in those animals that made them survive, with a view to developing a drug.
She said: "Can we use gene expression as a diagnostic in the clinic - could we run a quick analysis on patients' white blood cells and determine which infected person is at high or low risk?
"Supportive care would follow for all patients, but it would change the dynamics of how aggressive the treatment needs to be."
William Augusto at the WHO said: "This research work is at an early stage and, although encouraging, will need additional work in both animal models and on human beings to better estimate its implications in terms of diagnostics and antiviral therapy."
The hackneyed but good example is that if a dog bites a man it's not a story - dogs do that quite often. But if a man bites a dog, it is a story - because men, generally speaking, do not.
In other words the "story" is something that is unusual, rare and unexpected.
So what box do we put the Freddie Gray story in?
It's obviously a story - but it is none too rare, sadly not that unusual - and if you ask many in the black community, not in the least bit unexpected.
I heard one piece of commentary that more or less started "First there was Ferguson, now Baltimore"' - but in truth there has been a whole pile of incidents in between.
I haven't the space to list them all - the 12-year-old boy shot dead in a park in Cleveland, Ohio, the student left bloody and bruised at the University of Virginia, the man fatally shot eight times in the back in South Carolina, the 44-year-old chased down and killed in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after volunteer officer pulled a firearm instead of a stun gun.
And there are more, culminating in Freddie Gray dying while in the custody of Baltimore police, after his spinal cord had been virtually severed. It's unlikely you would sustain an injury like that simply by slipping as you stepped into the police wagon.
What the common features are of all these incidents is that the victims were black and the forces of law and order involved in them were for the most part white.
All of these stories made news on the day, and maybe even a bit of follow-up on day two and day three.
But have they stirred national debate, caused people to stop and reflect, led to serious - as President Obama has demanded - "soul-searching"? I am going to say not so much.
Which brings us back to the opinion piece that made the point that first there was Ferguson, then there was Baltimore. The writer is correct, insofar as they both resulted in looting, burning and vandalising - all playing out on our screens last night.
How could you not feel sickened to see some poor shopkeeper's life's work go up in flames, or being taken away in greedy armfuls by the lawless mob?
There was something almost grotesque about sitting and watching for an hour or so the looting at a CVS pharmacy store as people very casually wandered into the store and wandered out with their arms full.
And not a policeman in sight. If I were on the board of CVS I would be asking the authorities in Baltimore some pretty searching questions.
And some pretty searching questions are being asked again today about American society - What to do? How to put things right?
This has been a huge story because in 21st Century America you don't really expect the need to impose night-time curfews.
From tonight in Baltimore, unless you are going to work or you have a medical emergency, you are banned from being outside.
You don't really expect to see Humvees and the National Guard on patrol in one of the larger cities in America.
It's astonishing. The cable channels are full of it, Washington has sat up and taken notice. If you could market hand wringing, you'd make a fortune.
But here is the morally uncomfortable bit - is it the death of Freddie Gray that has caused everyone to sit up and take notice, or is it the rioting?
From the hapless Baltimore mayor through to the president the point has been made - rioting achieves nothing.
But, sadly it has. It has caught people's attention - because it has conformed to the journalist's law of what makes a story - it is rare, unexpected and unusual.
Perhaps the lesson is we need to take more notice of things that lead to the riots and sense of alienation by disaffected young African-Americans.
The white cop assaulting or shooting a black man may not be that unusual, but it has already led to dire consequences for those living in Ferguson and in Baltimore.
United led from a disputed penalty after a challenge on Marcus Rashford, with Clement claiming the forward 'deceived' referee Neil Swarbrick.
"I have had no communication at all from anyone," he explained.
"It surprised me because of the nature of it and the position that we are in. I've not heard from Mike Riley."
He continued: "I chose not to put any call into the FA on this occasion I felt that I had made my point very clearly in the media afterwards.
"We've had our fair share [of poor decisions] and all these things, they've all potentially cost us.
"I can't blame Neil Swarbrick for the decision, only for giving it if there was doubt, which I feel there was.
"That's why he asked the linesman, who is on the wrong side and has his view obscured.
"For me, of course, I'm disappointed with the player [Rashford].
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I think [the remainder of the season] will come down to small margins.
"But what I am really hoping is it doesn't come down to a refereeing decision, either for us or against us.
"I want our future to be [decided] from our own good play.
"You want it to be down to us and if it isn't, that will be disappointing."
Plans unveiled this week will see sin bins introduced to English football next season while after a weekend where Rashford, Manchester City's Leroy Sane and Tottenham's Harry Kane were all accused of diving, there have also been renewed calls for retrospective bans.
However, Clement is wary of the suggestion.
"As a preventative measure I would support it, but if it costs you a result, there is nothing you can do, it won't help," he explained.
"It could end up potentially helping another team [in the next game] and not your own.
"For me it has to be video replays, they will sort it out easily.
"Last weekend showed it is a major issue. It is not normally as bad as that, but ours was the worst one.
"The video replay on those decisions has got to happen.
"I could not support one of my players if he did something like he [Rashford] did."
The former Derby boss is hoping to avoid a historic Premier League relegation play-off with Hull.
The so-called "39th game" would happen if Hull and Swansea finished joint-18th, level on points, goal difference and goals scored.
Hull have a two-point advantage over Swansea with three games remaining, but the two clubs' goal difference and goals scored are close, with Swansea on -29 and Hull on -31. Swans having scored four more goals.
Should those records be identical come the end of the season, the Premier League would take the unprecedented step of organising a one-off match at a neutral venue, as per their own rules and regulations.
"It is a possibility, isn't it?" Swansea head coach Clement said. "We're two better on goal difference, four goals better. So it is tight.
"Obviously you want to try to avoid it, but at the same time I'd take it [rather than go down]."
The revised test has been on trial in 20 locations across the UK since April.
Mr Ferguson, who's 17, took his test at the Bishopbriggs driving centre in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
Among other more standard manoeuvres, he had to follow a route on a sat-nav for 20 minutes.
The changes are designed to "better reflect real driving", explained a spokesman for the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency).
"Any future changes to the test would be subject to full public consultation," he added.
Other changes being tested include:
The DVSA hopes to complete 1,000 of the new tests, which will continue until early 2016.
So far, around 20 people have taken the new test.
Driving instructor Drew Nicol, who taught Mr Ferguson, thinks the update is a good idea.
"Lots of people have criticised the idea of using sat-navs but people are going to use them when they drive so it makes sense that we teach them to use them properly," he told the BBC.
"I teach learners to listen to it rather than look at it or glance at it only when it is safe to do so."
A hotel, care home, shops and restaurants are also proposed for the Omega site near the M62 at Burtonwood.
Some concerns have been voiced about the potential for increased traffic in the area, and the impact on wildlife.
The Omega project is already home to distribution warehouses and has reportedly created 2,000 jobs.
The land at the former RAF Burtonwood airbase has been labelled "the largest employment site in Western Europe" by Warrington Borough Council.
Council leader Terry O'Neill said: "The continued development of Omega is a key priority in our ambitious growth agenda.
"This planning application brings much-needed housing to the town."
The proposals will now be considered by the authority's planning department.
Developers Miller Developments and KUC Properties said more than 200 local residents have been consulted on the plans, and promised there would be improvements to local roads and wildlife habitat preservation.
Managing Director of Miller Developments Andrew Sutherland said "Naturally there were numerous concerns expressed about traffic congestion and our transport consultants continue to work hard with Warrington's highways team and public transport providers to address this."
Planning permission has already been granted for a new primary school on the site, whilst government funding has been committed for improvements to Junction 8 of the M62.
The land is owned by government body the Homes and Communities Agency.
Spokesman Karl Tupling said: "The development of Omega is one of the largest construction projects happening in the North West.
"This will create significant employment opportunities and contribute to the delivery of the government's Northern Powerhouse agenda."
A federation statement explained that "After 20 months of instability and inconsistent results" it agreed with Zaki to end his contract.
The federation also announced that a new coach would be appointed in the coming days.
Former Ivory Coast boss Herve Renard is being tipped to take over.
Renard, who lead the Elephants to the Africa Cup of Nations title in Equatorial Guinea last year, was sacked by French club Lille earlier this season,
The 47-year-old also lead Zambia to the Nations Cup title in 2012.
Former international goalkeeper Zaki, 56, took over as Morocco manager for the second time in May 2014.
Zaki first managed the side for three years from 2002, losing the Africa Cup of Nations final to Tunisia in 2004.
Morocco's next competitive games are crucial home and away 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers against Cape Verde at the end of March.
The two sides are currently top of Group F having won both their matches so far, Libya and Sao Tome are the other teams in the pool.
The Atlas Lions have also progressed to the final round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.
The 70-year-old, who is in his second spell as president, stood unopposed for the post.
Perez held the position for the first time between 2000 and 2006, a period during which Real signed Luis Figo, David Beckham and Ronaldo.
He returned in 2009, as the club bought Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso.
Cristiano Ronaldo's future at the Bernabeu remains uncertain after he told the club he wants to leave.
Perez employed six managers during his first spell, as Real won two La Liga titles and the Champions League.
He resigned in February 2006 after the club went three years without a major trophy.
Last season, Real Madrid became the first side to retain the Champions League and won the Spanish title for the first time since 2012.
That's according to veteran environmental campaigner Jonathon Porritt anyway.
And you thought smart meters were just about saving a few quid on your gas and electricity bills? Think again.
These gadgets being rolled out in many developed nations around the world will not only save people money, they'll promote more competition, more innovation, and change the way the global energy industry works, proponents argue.
So here's all you need to know about the huge project to introduce digital meters into British homes.
The UK government has told energy suppliers that they must offer to replace the old analogue gas and electricity meters in homes and small businesses with digital meters instead.
The aim is to install 53 million of them by 2020 - a target Lord Bourne, the minister responsible for the smart meter roll-out programme, recently admitted was "an ambitious and challenging aim". It has also had plenty of critics.
No, the scheme is voluntary - perhaps explaining why just 1.7 million have been installed so far. It's being paid for by the energy industry to the tune of £11bn.
The first thing to say about smart meters is that they're not all that smart - all they do is measure our gas and electricity consumption.
But they do it digitally, which means we can see exactly how much energy we're using - and how much it's costing us - in real time via a wirelessly connected in-home display. That data is also sent wirelessly to the energy company.
For one thing, it means no more estimated bills because your energy supplier will know precisely how much energy you've consumed at any point.
It also means an end to people having to come into your home to take meter readings, or you having to send readings to your supplier.
With annual dual fuel energy bills running at £1,300 on average, cost savings would be welcomed by most of us.
But this won't happen simply by having smart meters installed.
It's how we respond to the data - seeing the effect in pounds and pence of boiling a full kettle when we only want to make a single cup of tea, say. Or noticing the difference it makes when we switch off the TV and set-top boxes at night rather than leaving them on stand-by.
"We're all going to be much more in control of our energy usage than we are now," says Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy for U-Switch, the price comparison website.
"We'll have so much more data about how we use energy and how we can reduce the costs. We'll be able to pay less, use less and waste less."
But the government estimates smart meters could save us £17bn on our energy bills over the next 15 years.
Smart meters will increase competition by making it easier for new suppliers to enter the market, says Sacha Deshmukh, chief executive of Smart Energy GB, the body responsible for publicising smart meter roll-out.
Not so long ago there were just six energy suppliers in the UK - now there are 31, and many more could enter the market.
"The reason companies like Amazon, Tesco, Virgin, or Google haven't entered this retail energy market yet is because it hasn't been digitised," he tells the BBC. He also envisages media companies like Sky and BT potentially including energy as part of their bundles of services.
And more accurate, up-to-date data will enable households and businesses to switch supplier far more quickly. Energy regulator Ofgem is aiming for energy supplier switching within 24 hours.
Not yet. The in-home display will merely show the total energy usage, so you'll see the display and cost fluctuate as you switch things on and off.
To reach that more sophisticated level of analysis we'll need smart appliances that can talk to the in-home display via another piece of kit called a consumer access device, explains Howard Porter, chief executive of Beama, the trade association for the UK electrical infrastructure industry.
"Smart meter roll-out is a catalyst for change... it's stage one in the move towards connected homes and buildings linked in to smart grids," he says.
You own your energy usage data - that's a basic principle of this whole programme, says Smart Energy GB. It will be transferred to the energy suppliers over a dedicated secure network being built by a new consortium called the Smart Data Communications Company (Smart DCC), comprising O2/Telefonica and Arqiva. This network is due to go live in August 2016.
"If consumers want it they may choose to share their energy data with third parties to help manage their energy consumption," says Smart DCC's managing director, Jonathan Simcock.
You might want to allow price comparison websites or energy management companies to shop around for the best energy deals on your behalf and switch suppliers for you, for example.
Or you may want advice on how to improve your energy efficiency, by upgrading appliances, switching to LED lighting, or using the dishwasher and washing machine at times when electricity is cheaper. Such companies could effectively manage your energy usage for you.
For business processes that don't have to be done immediately, it makes sense to do them when energy is cheapest or at its most plentiful.
For example, a big food retailer running energy-hungry chiller and freezer cabinets can run them at a colder temperature at night when electricity is cheaper, then use them less intensively during the day when electricity is more expensive, knowing that there is enough stored coldness in the equipment to keep it running properly.
"We can achieve energy savings of 15% to 25% for our customers," says Sara Bell, chief executive of Tempus Energy, a new energy supplier offering this type of service.

EU law enforcement agency Europol said the gang purchased football clubs and then used them as a front for an opaque network of holding companies.
It said four major football clubs were searched along with houses and offices, resulting in three "key" arrests.
Third division club Uniao de Leiria was among those raided.
Leiria's owner Alexander Tolstikov has been detained, along with two other club officials, Portuguese media report.
They are all due to appear in court on Thursday morning.
Uniao de Leiria was a top-flight club, at one point managed by Jose Mourinho, but it fell out of the Primera Liga in 2012 and dropped to the third division before going bankrupt and being bought by Mr Tolstikov in 2015.
It is currently fighting for promotion to the second division.
Europol said the searches and arrests were carried out on Wednesday as part of Operation Matrioskas (Russian dolls), which had been going on for more than a year.
Links were found with serious and organised crimes carried out in the UK, Germany, Moldova, Austria, Latvia and Estonia, it said.
Three other clubs were searched, top sides Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Braga and Benfica - but Portuguese media said they were not under suspicion and were only linked to the investigation because of football transfer negotiations conducted with Leiria.
Several Russian players have been on Uniao de Leiria's books in the past two years, but only one has been in the main squad, Reuters reports.
The gang behind the alleged club takeovers was "thought to be a cell of an important Russian mafia group", the agency added. According to Europol, the group adopted a particular method:
Due to the use of front-men, the real owners who ultimately controlled the club were unknown, it said.
The investigation was triggered due to suspicions raised by "strong red flag indicators" - mainly the "high standards of living suspects enjoyed".
The Staggies beat Hibernian 2-1 at Hampden in Glasgow last Sunday.
The parade started from County's stadium in Dingwall following the team's game against derby rivals Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Inverness are the holders of the Scottish Cup but were knocked out of this season's competition by Hibs.
The Edinburgh side beat Caley Thistle 2-1 in Inverness on Wednesday.
But Ross County failed to notch up a win in the derby game ahead of the parade, losing 3-0 to their Highland rivals.
An open-top bus took the team and the cup from the stadium around the Highland town before returning to the football ground.
Club spokesman David O'Connor said: "The messages of congratulations have been overwhelming since the victory over Hibernian and the procession on Saturday evening will allow all sections of our support and the community to join in the celebrations.
"There will be many photo opportunities but safety will be a priority and well-wishers are asked to consider their safety and that of others on the night."
The group, Core Issues, was ordered to pay £100,000 in legal costs after the High Court rejected its case.
It was trying to challenge a Transport for London (TfL) ban of its posters, which read "Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get over it!".
Core Issues vowed to continue fighting.
The 2012 campaign was a response to a bus poster campaign by gay rights group Stonewall, saying: "Some people are gay. Get over it!".
In March 2013, the High Court ruled the TfL ban was lawful because displaying the advert would "cause grave offence" to those who were gay.
But Core Issues argued that London mayor Boris Johnson, as TfL chairman, had ordered it to impose the ban for the "improper purpose" of seeking votes from gay people to help him win re-election.
The Court of Appeal ordered a further investigation, and High Court judge Mrs Justice Lang cleared Mr Johnson of any wrongdoing last July.
However, returning to the Court of Appeal, Core Issues argued the judge had not properly considered the evidence that Mr Johnson had "instructed" TfL to impose the ban.
But Lord Justice Sullivan said although there was an amount of "puffing" by Mr Johnson, the ban was "certainly not unlawful" and refused a fresh appeal.
Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said later: "It does not finish here. It is all a whitewash."
Referring to the fact that Core Issues now faces a £100,000 legal expenses bill from TfL, Ms Williams said: "This is intimidation. It is an extortionate amount of costs against somebody seeking to do good."
The article was about a police raid on militants in Dhaka.
A BBC spokesman said it had been sent by mistake by a World Service reporter and was taken down minutes later.
He added: "It was literally a human error and it has been corrected."
The BBC later tweeted: "Apologies to anyone who received a breaking news alert from our Bengali service. Don't worry, we weren't hacked".
There are currently about 450 police volunteers in Wales, but more will be recruited by 2020.
The Association of Special Constabulary Chief Officers (ASCCO) said specials often had skills from their day jobs to help in areas such as cyber crime.
North Wales Police hopes to recruit an extra 100 special constables by 2020.
The other Welsh police forces are also increasing their numbers, although they have not given themselves a target.
Special constables are fully-trained frontline officers who can respond to 999 calls.
Ian Miller, chairman of the ASCCO, denied more specials were being recruited due to police cuts, saying they added value to policing.
"I think by increasing the number of specials, it gives resilience to police forces with the security threat," he said.
"There's an advantage in being able to call on fully qualified people to provide an additional resource during times of need."
Mark Owen, chief officer for North Wales Police's Special Constabulary, said the Manchester terror attack proved how invaluable specials were.
"A lot of special constables in north Wales turned up for duty without anybody asking them following the attack," he said.
"They knew officers were going to help in Greater Manchester so they came in, put their coats on and went out on the streets of north Wales. It gives us that flexible workforce."
Special constables have been working alongside paid police officers in England and Wales for the past 185 years.
In addition to their regular jobs, they must carry out at least 16 hours of police work a month - although many do much more - and have the power to arrest people.
Some work as specialist officers, such as with the the road safety unit or fighting rural crime, while others are recruited for knowledge obtained in their regular jobs to help in the fight against cyber crime and fraud.
North Wales Police - which has 188 special constables - held a recruitment event in Llandudno on Saturday to coincide with National Specials weekend.
Recruitment is a big issue for the police forces, as many special constables go on to join the police service as paid officers, leaving vacancies.
Gwent Police and South Wales Police have recently taken on more specials, taking both of their totals to 108.
Dyfed-Powys Police is also recruiting in the coming months to add to its 89 specials.
Officers include people who are cyber experts, mental health nurses, doctors, managers and accountants in their regular jobs.
Cairn Newton-Evans, chief officer for Dyfed-Powys Police's Special Constabulary and the Welsh representative for ASCCO, decided to become a special after he was the victim of a violent homophobic attack in his hometown of Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, in 2008.
"I thought maybe I could try and stop anyone else from going through what I had," said Mr Newton-Evans, who also works in retail and is studying for a degree in law and public services.
"You're giving up your own time and you're not getting paid. You have to really want to do it and make a difference to your community.
"I'm proud I don't get paid - I'm doing it to make people feel safe."
The Aldi store in Prestatyn was targeted at about 1941 GMT on Monday by two men, who escaped with cash.
A search of the area by helicopter and by the North Wales Police dog section failed to find anything.
Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 if in Wales, 0845 6071001 (Welsh language) or 0845 6071002 (English).
Police said one of the men remained by the store's door while the other pushed a member of staff and took cash from the till.
The first offender is between 5ft 8ins (173cm) and 5ft 10 ins (178cm) tall and slim, was wearing a hooded top and had his face covered.
The second man was slim and was believed to have been wearing a hooded top, had his socks tucked over his tracksuit bottoms and was wearing black trainers.
New maps by software analysts Esri UK show Edinburgh tops the list with 49% green space.
Glasgow's total of 32% placed it second in the league table - ahead of Bristol (29%), Birmingham (24.6) and Greater London (23%).
Liverpool was shown to have the least, with only just over a sixth of its land classified as green space.
The bright green areas on each map represent green space.
The other cities included in the list are Sheffield (22.1%), Leeds (21.7%), Manchester (20.4%) and Bradford (18.4%).
Folkestone beat off rival bids from Hastings and Brighton to host the event in May as part of Culture24's Connect 10 Museums at Night Festival weekend.
The three seaside towns staged a series of publicity stunts in their bids to win the competition.
The photographer said he hoped those taking part would have a great time and that he would not be arrested.
George's House Gallery in Folkestone was up against Hastings' Jerwood Gallery and Brighton's Royal Pavilion and Museums in the competition to host the photoshoot by Tunick.
In January about 30 Hastings residents took part in a nude flash mob on a wet and windy beach in their bid to attract the photographer to the East Sussex town.
But the Folkestone bid's online campaign featuring residents holding up signs reading "I'm ready for Spencer!" - including a placard with the logo placed next to the statue of a mermaid in the town's harbour - apparently proved more eye-catching.
Mr Tunick said: "I have no idea what the folks of Folkestone look like, I have no idea what the streets are like.
"I have no idea if the police are going to stop me, or arrest me, or if I'll get permission."
Up to 250 people will strip to have their photos taken by Mr Tunick, with each person being in front of the camera for about 30 seconds, he said.
Each shot will be displayed in a key fob viewfinder and a fast-moving slideshow of the naked images will be projected onto a mirrored mosaic wall at the gallery.
Brigitte Orasinski, director of George's House Gallery, said: "He makes such democratic artwork.
"It's instantly recognisable, even those who aren't as interested in the arts as others know his works."
Mr Tunick said: "I just hope everyone has a great time, and lots of people sign up to participate and be part of this traditional, but quite novel, portrait."
Wenger has yet to beat the Portuguese in nine attempts, most recently losing a Capital One Cup fourth-round tie 2-0 at home to Chelsea in October.
But victory over the Blues at the Emirates Stadium on Monday will take Arsenal back above Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table.
"It is not a personal battle," Wenger said.
"Honestly, we had some big games in the past, but what is important for me is that I am completely focused on Arsenal Football Club and on my team and doing well in the team.
"Whether we play Monday night against Chelsea or anybody else, for me it is exactly the same, because what is at stake for us is to get back to winning habits."
The relationship between the two managers has been fiery in the past, with Wenger being called a "voyeur" by Mourinho in 2005 over comments made about events at Stamford Bridge.
"Once you are out of competition, everybody is different," said the Frenchman, whose side have been the early Premier League pacesetters before a draw and a defeat in their last two games saw them overtaken by Liverpool.
"We have spent time together in Geneva at the Uefa managers' meeting.
"Here is competition time, so everybody fights for his team and his club."
Mourinho also played down the significance of his record of five wins and four draws against Wenger.
"It's not me against Wenger," said Mourinho, whose side would draw level on points with leaders Liverpool with a win.
"It's my Chelsea against his Arsenal. And [the record] doesn't play Monday. It has no influence. That stat, for the game on Monday, means nothing.
"I just feel that we played better, we deserved more and we won these matches.
"In my time I remember just one game where we were close to losing, which was a game at home where (Michael) Essien scored the equalising goal in the last part of the game (in the December 2006 Premier League draw).
"After that, even at the Emirates, playing with 10 men for 75 minutes we played a fantastic match and we drew 1-1 (in May 2007).
"My memories are that against them we played very good matches. As a consequence of that we got good results."
The seven men are officials of the temple in Paravur and were among several wanted by police.
Earlier police had detained five others and a judicial inquiry ordered into the incident.
A court in Kerala is due to hear a plea to ban fireworks displays at temples.
Nearly 400 people near the temple were injured when a faulty rocket fell onto a large stockpile of fireworks on Sunday.
A building at the temple then collapsed, causing many of the deaths.
Kerala temple tragedy: 'All over in a few minutes'
The death toll rose to 111 on Tuesday after two of the injured died in hospital.
Seven temple officials, including the president, have surrendered to the police since Monday night, and are now being questioned over their role in the incident.
Officials say the temple had been denied permission on safety grounds, but it had gone ahead under pressure from a large crowd.
Thousands had gathered to watch the display as part of a local new year festival.
Police are also questioning five temple workers involved in staging the fireworks display.
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said 351 people were still undergoing treatment for injuries sustained in the blast, and 24 of them were in a critical condition.
Puttingal: India's 'temple of fireworks'
Fireworks and firecrackers are commonly used at temple festivals in Kerala.
Every year temples in the state organise fireworks displays, often competing to stage the most spectacular ones.
Sunday's incident is not the first of its kind in Kerala.
The famous Sabarimala temple banned fireworks in 1952 after 68 people died in a firecracker explosion.
Tony Wood, the head of aerospace, will depart, and Lawrie Haynes, who runs the land and sea division, will step down next year.
The change in structure is part of a plan to save up to £200m a year from 2017, it said.
Removing the top layer of management is a bid to simplify decision-making.
Rolls-Royce has issued a series of profit warnings that have battered its share price, leaving it down 38% this year.
Mr East, who joined in July, admitted last month that the engineering group had developed an "accounting fog" that had left investors unclear about its direction.
He wants to "simplify" Rolls-Royce to make it a more responsive business.
From January, the company will operate as five businesses, with the presidents of civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine, nuclear and power systems reporting to Mr East.
Currently, the firm has two divisions: aerospace, and land and sea.
"The changes we are announcing today are the first important steps in driving operational excellence and returning Rolls-Royce to its long-term trend of profitable growth," said Mr East.
Rolls-Royce employs more than 21,000 people in the UK, with more than 12,000 employed at its Derby aerospace engines and submarines division.
Earlier this year, the company announced 3,600 job cuts and warned that some of its 2,000 senior managers would depart.
The crisis claimed the scalp of John Rishton, who Rolls-Royce said in April would step down after four years as chief executive.
The company makes engines for the UK nuclear submarine fleet. It was reported this week that the government had drawn up contingency plans, should Rolls-Royce's problems become so acute that it faced being broken up.
Business minister Anna Soubry told the House of Commons that the government was "monitoring the situation carefully" but did not elaborate.
The next generation of nuclear submarines, due to be deployed by 2030, is being planned by the government.
Charles James Evans had six passengers in his BMW - three without seatbelts.
Evans admitted dangerous driving and was sentenced to six months at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday, suspended for a year.
He was also ordered to carry out 180 hours unpaid work and retake his driving test.
A police officer saw Evans' BMW Coupe drive at excessive speed towards the roundabout of the A483 near Welshpool cattle market, Powys, on 11 June and decided to follow it.
Judge Niclas Parry said Evans, 22, of Shropshire, reached "alarmingly high speeds" estimated at between 120mph and 140mph.
He drove on the wrong side of the road, and across a junction.
Simon Medland QC, defending, said that his client was a "hard working and highly thought of" agricultural contractor whose loss of driving licence would affect him greatly.
Eight engines and 40 firefighters were called out to the Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Corby at about 15:45 GMT on Saturday.
Northamptonshire Fire Service said everyone was accounted for, and that four people were treated at the scene after breathing in smoke.
The service said all the guests had been relocated and crews had returned to base by Sunday morning.
The cause of the fire, at the Rockingham Leisure Park on Princewood Road, is being investigated.
The hotel's duty manager said she was unable to provide any further details about the fire, but confirmed the hotel was closed.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD), which has two Airbus A400M aircraft, said their operations have been "paused".
The plane, which was undergoing flight trials, reportedly developed a fault just after take-off. Those on board were Spanish Airbus employees.
An MoD spokeswoman said: "As a precaution the UK's A400M aircraft are temporarily paused."
At least four people were killed in the crash on Saturday and two other crew members have been seriously injured.
Spain's airport authority said Seville airport had been closed and all flights were being diverted to Malaga and Jerez.
The A400M is a large, propeller-driven transport aircraft.
About 194 planes, which are manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space, have been ordered by eight countries, including Spain, France and the UK.
The Royal Air Force (RAF) has ordered a total of 22 planes to be delivered over the next few years.
They will gradually replace the existing fleet of C-130 Hercules, the tried and trusted workhorse of the RAF's air transport fleet.
The MoD said the new aircraft will give the RAF the ability to move people and equipment rapidly around the globe for military and humanitarian operations.
It is capable of carrying 30-tonne vehicles and up to 116 armed forces personnel. According to Airbus, the A400M can be adapted to become a tanker, for air-to-air refuelling.
Guy Verhofstadt, a long-standing critic of Brexit, wrote in The Observer that it was "irrelevant" whether the Conservatives increased their majority.
Instead, Mrs May appeared to be driven by "political opportunism", he said.
Mrs May says the poll is needed because Westminster is divided over Brexit.
The decision to hold the election on 8 June - three years earlier than scheduled - was approved on Wednesday, with 522 MPs in favour and 13 against.
Mr Verhofstadt wrote: "The theory espoused by some, that Theresa May is calling a general election on Brexit in order to secure a better deal with the EU, is nonsensical.
"Will the election of more Tory MPs give Theresa May a greater chance of securing a better Brexit deal?
"For those sitting around the table in Brussels, this is an irrelevance."
Mr Verhofstadt added that many in Brussels believed the chances of a deal were being eroded by Mrs May's "tough negotiating red lines" and a lack of "political room for manoeuvre" domestically.
He said there was no guarantee "a sprinkling of additional Conservative MPs on the backbenches" would change this.
"Indeed, it appears this election is being driven by the political opportunism of the party in government, rather than by the people they represent," he added.
Mrs May has argued that an increased Commons majority would strengthen her hand in the Brexit negotiations, making it more difficult for the opposition parties at home to obstruct her plans.
In her speech on 18 April, announcing the decision to call an election, she said: "Division in Westminster will risk our ability to make a success of Brexit and it will cause damaging uncertainty and instability to the country.
"So we need a general election and we need one now, because we have at this moment a one-off chance to get this done while the European Union agrees its negotiating position and before the detailed talks begin."

All of the celebrities have now been revealed for the new series of Strictly, which begins with a launch show on BBC One on 9 September.
So who will be testing their tango and practicing their Paso Doble at the end of the summer?
Read on to find out...
Alexandra Burke is the fifteenth and final celebrity to be announced as joining the Strictly 2017 line-up.
The singer, who is currently performing on stage in the West End in London, has said that she is "so excited".
"I am very nervous as I am a singer not a dancer, but I am going to give this my absolute everything and try my best to make everyone proud."
The double Paralympic, World and European T44 100m Champion is one of the last few celebrities to be announced as taking part in Strictly this year.
Jonnie will be the first contestant with a disability to take part in the main show - an opportunity which Jonnie said was "too good to turn down".
He added: "I know this will be a challenge and a new experience. I can't wait to see what I can achieve and how far I can push myself."
Next to join the line-up is TV personality and presenter Debbie McGee.
Debbie said, "There are no words to describe how I feel about performing on Strictly Come Dancing. The excitement is overwhelming. I can't stop smiling. It's been the hardest secret I have ever had to keep!"
Ore would agree with you there, Debbie!
The former Holby City actor has already tried her hand at dancing on the BBC - she appeared on Let's Sing and Dance for Comic Relief.
Chizzy said: "When I was 13, I made the finals of a disco dancing competition once but there was this amazing girl who exploded onto the stage with a gorgeous sequined costume, throwing glitter everywhere.
"I knew it was game over for me. That was then, this is now and this is my chance to have even more sequins!"
Charlotte is a journalist and one of the presenters on ITV's breakfast show Good Morning Britain.
Charlotte said, "I am so thrilled to be one of the contestants on Strictly this year! I've always been a big fan of the show.
"I'm looking forward to stepping out from behind the news desk to cha-cha-cha my way across the dancefloor!"
Brian says, "I'm delighted and honoured to be asked to strut my stuff on this year's Strictly."
He added, "My family all love the show and can't wait to see me do my Dad dancing on national television."
Here's contestant number nine! Susan is a comedian from Scotland. You probably recognise her as the presenter of the CBBC game show Top Class.
Susan says she's mega-excited to be on Strictly and says "I have been a Strictly super-fan for years. This is going to be the best ride possible."
Best of luck to you, Susan!
Aston is celebrity number eight! He is a singer and songwriter, best-known for being a member of the successful British band JLS.
He said "I'm so happy to be joining Strictly 2017, it is such a brilliant show and I've followed it for years. I'm both nervous and excited to learn from the professionals about a whole new way of dancing!"
Simon is the seventh celebrity contestant confirmed for the brand new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Simon said, "I am so excited, terrified and proud to be invited to be part of Strictly 2017. I've always been a HUUUUGE fan of the show. When I put on my sequins and hit the floor it will genuinely be my very first time dancing ballroom and Latin. Nobody will try harder, have more fun or get more out of it than me. I can't wait."
He is best-known for being the chef and co-presenter on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch.
Joe is an actor, and probably best know for playing the role of Raf di Lucca in Holby City.
He said, "Strictly is one of the biggest, most entertaining shows on TV and being asked to be part of it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I'm thrilled and terrified about in equal measures!"
The latest member of this year's Strictly team is the Vicar of St Mary's Church in Finedon, Northamptonshire and Chancellor of the University of Northampton.
Away from his church duties, Richard hosts a show on Radio 4 and has appeared on several TV programmes.
Before he joined the church, he was in a band called The Communards, who's best known song is Don't Leave Me This Way (you'll know it when you hear it!)
Gemma Atkinson stars in Emmerdale as Carly Hope and used to be in Hollyoaks.
She said: "I'm beyond excited and incredibly nervous but I am looking forward to learning a new skill and taking on this new challenge."
Ruth is used to presenting on daytime TV programmes like This Morning and Loose Women.
She says it'll be "the scariest yet most exciting thing I've ever done".
Davood is a familiar face for EastEnders fans, where he plays the character of Kush Kazemi.
He said: "It's going to be exciting, challenging and terrifying all at once!"
Mollie King from The Saturdays was the first celebrity dancer confirmed to be taking part in Strictly.
She told Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1's breakfast show that it's "something that I always said I wanted to do.... I'm going to be giving it my all."
Scarborough Council has drawn up plans to allay growing public concern about mess, noise and "gull-muggings".
The proposals include using bird-proof bin bags and fitting netting to buildings to prevent nesting.
The recommendations will be considered by the cabinet later this year.
A report prepared for the council's Environment and Economy Scrutiny Committee, said: "...Growing public concerns reached a peak last summer about the increasing nuisance caused by two species of gull in the borough: kittiwakes and herring gulls."
Outlining nine potential measures for tackling the gulls, it suggested "officers approach fish and chip shop owners...to recommend the use of a notice prohibiting the feeding of gulls, inside chip boxes and on the shops' premises".
An online consultation attracted almost 500 responses.
One hotelier told the council they were "genuinely concerned for the future of our business", saying "the noise throughout the day and night from March to September is becoming intolerable, not to mention the mess on buildings and cars and swooping".
However, others disagreed with one respondent saying: "Seagulls belong to the seaside. Leave them alone and stop moaning."
Both herring gulls and kittiwakes are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
The recommendations will be considered by the cabinet later this year.
Kyle Coetzer, leading the hosts for the first time, might just have let his mind stray to thoughts of taking a major scalp as he opened the innings chasing a none-too-daunting 231-7.
But hopes of a first success against one of the big boys ebbed away following the Northnts batsman's dismissal for 32 in the 17th over.
Thereafter, Scotland simply could not live with the Pakistan attack and fell well short, finishing 96 runs behind in the 40th over.
Coetzer described his team's efforts to catch Pakistan as "very disappointing" and highlighted the Scots' inability to build up a head of steam.
He told BBC Scotland: "We picked up wickets, which put pressure on them, and we were able to squeeze them.
"We could sort of see it unfolding but we lost the impetus. If we had managed to keep the run rate going, the board would have been ticking over constantly and we might still have been in the game.
I've got a whole lot of confidence in these guys that they will come back strong
"But because we lost a few wickets we were out of the game.
"There are a couple of things we need to discuss in the dressing room. I've got a whole lot of confidence in these guys that they will come back strong."
For the visitors, Misbah-ul-Haq used all of his experience and considerable talent to breathe life into an innings that was threatening to sag.
The Pakistan skipper, who will celebrate his 39th birthday on this tour, has taken some flak for his cautious approach as he steers a callow side bidding to recover respectability after the bruising scandals of 2009 and 2010.
Following a solid but unspectacular opening, the visitors were wobbling on 115 for five when Umar Amin went for three.
But Misbah rode to the rescue as he crafted a vital 78 not out from 83 balls, including two mighty sixes.
Majid Haq did much to stem the Pakistan run flow and the off-spinner set a new Scottish record for one-day wickets in the process.
His 3-39 from 10 overs took him to 44 wickets at this level, surpassing the efforts of John Blain.
"It's a proud moment for me," said Haq, whose captain called him "exceptional".
"But we have probably thrown away the best chance I can remember of beating a full member side in a 50 over game.
"It was an unbelievable effort from the boys to restrict Pakistan to 231 on a fast ground like this.
"I was pretty confident. We needed a good start and we were 50 for one, but we kept losing wickets.
"We lost by a huge margin and that is disappointing.
"It's maybe because we haven't done it yet - beat a full member side - we don't have that experience of getting over the finishing line.
"If Ireland kept Pakistan to 230, they would expect to win in 45 overs."
Scotland chose to field five of the six new faces available after recent changes to eligibility rules.
Neil Carter, who, at 38 has retired from county cricket, opened the bowling and batting to underwhelming effect.
But Coetzer's county colleague David Murphy enjoyed a solid display behind the stumps and Rob Taylor turned in a parsimonious bowling spell and managed 13 runs from 13 balls as the Scottish wickets tumbled in quick succession.
Matt Machan and Iain Wardlaw can be satisfied with their bowling but the former will have been disappointed to chop onto his own stumps from the imposing figure of Mohammad Ifran.
At 7ft 1in, the green giant did not look so jolly as he powered in his deliveries and struggled to find any rhythm.
Junaid Khan and Saeed Ajmal fared much better, each claiming three victims, while the Scots were completely flummoxed by the crafty Mohammad Hafeez, who conceded a mere 12 runs from his eight overs.
The sound of leather on willow has all too often given way to soggy squelches and the covers being rolled out in the opening weeks of the Scottish season.
Wholly unexpected sunshine made life a little easier for Pakistan, who had been training at home in 40C temperatures before their arrival, and made for perfect viewing conditions.
It's just a pity such a small crowd turned out. But, like the home team, Scotland's cricket fans have a chance to redeem themselves when the sides meet again on Sunday.

It was a tale of two captains as Scotland failed miserably to make the most of a promising start against Pakistan at a sun-drenched Grange in Edinburgh.

Englishman Rose, 35, hit a three-under round of 69 to end the day in the chasing pack tied at eight under along with Scotland's Martin Laird, 32.
American Steele, 32, hit a 70 to remain top of the leaderboard on 11 under.
"I'm very happy to keep the momentum up and post a decent score, really not playing great golf," Rose told PGA.com.
"I played pretty scrappily, some ugly shots out there, some long par-save putts, so for me it was a really good 69."
Rory McIlroy toiled for 71 to stand five under, Northern Ireland's world number three positioned 19th.
Steele, who was the overnight leader after a breathtaking first-round 63, has a two-shot lead over compatriot Will Wilcox (67) and Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas (71).
Canada's Graham DeLaet and America's Harold Varner III are also tied for second on nine under.
John Moody, 45, of Kerrison Avenue, Norwich, repeatedly stabbed 39-year-old Karen Brown and Kenneth Snell, aged 65.
The couple's bodies were found at Mr Snell's home in Cringleford, Norfolk, on 31 October 2009.
Moody denied murder at Norwich Crown Court but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He will be sentenced on Friday.
Moody and Ms Brown, who had been in a violent 12-year relationship which ended in 2008, used to run the sandwich shop Baguette Express near Norwich Market.
Moody murdered Ms Brown and Mr Snell after being told of their relationship earlier that day, the court heard.
The prosecution said their deaths were caused by "an angry and jealous man".
But the defence urged jurors to accept Moody was suffering from an abnormality of the mind.
The court heard that Moody "lost his self-control" and drove to Mr Snell's home armed with a hammer and knife.
He smashed through the front door and attacked Ms Brown in the back garden with the weapons, while repeatedly shouting: "Why did you lie?"
The jury was played recordings of the 999 calls made by Ms Brown and Mr Snell.
In the call made by Ms Brown, at 2100 GMT, she is heard to say: "I have got an intruder who is violent, who is aggressive. I don't know who it is."
She then shouts the name "John Moody" twice and is heard to say: "You don't want to do this, do you? Not really."
As the call continues, Moody is heard to ask: "Tell me why you lied?" more than 50 times as groaning sounds and yelps of pain are heard in the background.
Post-mortem examinations showed Ms Brown sustained 13 stab wounds and 31 other injuries.
Several wounds on her forearm suggested she had put her arms up to protect herself, the court heard.
Mr Snell, who sustained seven stab wounds and 38 other injuries, died after being stabbed in the heart.
Nottinghamshire County Council received 700 complaints about the supposed migrant camps after far-right group Britain First mounted a campaign.
The claims were originally reported in the Mansfield Chad, along with a photo of a treehouse.
A group of young people later confirmed they built the treehouse in 2010.
The BBC has contacted Britain First but has yet to receive a response.
Youngster Brad Dury told the Mansfield Chad: "My phone was blowing up with messages saying 'didn't we build that?'
"I thought 'yes we did, we need to say something'."
Britain First leafleted people in Nottinghamshire demanding the "illegal" camps be shut down.
A campaign video has also been viewed more than 348,000 times on Britain First's Facebook page.
County council leader Alan Rhodes said: "The story is fantasy. It's untrue and actually I'm very concerned because Sherwood Forest Country Park is a lovely safe place for families to go and enjoy a day out.
"I would encourage people to do that and to ignore these nonsensical stories of migrant camps."
Nottinghamshire Police and the Forestry Commission also confirmed there have never been any migrant camps in Sherwood Forest.
The document - published by Italy's L'Espresso magazine - says global warming is directly linked to human activities and the intensive use of fossil fuels.
The Vatican called the leaking of the draft a "heinous" act.
It said the final version would be released on Thursday as planned.
The 192-page draft of the encyclical - which is the highest level of teaching document a pope can issue - is entitled "Laudato Si: On the care of the common home".
In the paper, Pope Francis presents both scientific and moral reasons for protecting God's creation.
He puts much of the blame for global warming on human activities, mentioning the continual loss of biodiversity in the Amazonian rainforest and the melting of Arctic glaciers among other examples.
The draft also says that developing countries are bearing the brunt of the "enormous consumption" of some of the richest.
The pontiff calls on all humans - not just Roman Catholics - to prevent the destruction of the ecosystem before the end of the century and to establish a new political authority to tackle pollution.
The encyclical has been months in the writing, and the Pope is said to be keen for it to set the tone for the debate at a UN summit on climate change in November in Paris, the BBC's Caroline Wyatt says.
Guidolin's side came from two goals down to secure a point at Stoke City and are 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
The Swans have six games remaining and Italian Guidolin does not believe his team are not yet safe from relegation.
"No. I think we need three points," Guidolin said.
"The season is not finished, for us or any of the teams.
"It is important to play in the future, like next week for example, with this character and courage."
Swansea, who have lost one of their last five games, remain in 15th position, still 10 points clear of 18th-placed Sunderland, who drew 0-0 with West Brom and have seven games to go.
The Welsh side host Chelsea at the Liberty Stadium next Saturday having edged closer to safety with a 2-2 draw at the Britannia Stadium.
Ibrahim Afellay and Bojan Krkic had put Stoke in control but goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson and substitute Alberto Paloschi saw Swansea rescue a point.
"Stoke were the best team in the first half, but overall I think we had more situations to go forward than they did at the conclusion," Guidolin added.
"It was a good transformation in the second half, but I saw my team play well in the first half as well.
"I'm happy because I saw my team play to win and attack.
"My team played with personality, and I am happy."
Nicholas Iliff was forced to clean up dog mess and tie the shoelaces of his captors in Oxford.
Christopher Joyce, 81, and daughters Mary Joyce, 60, and Helen Collins, 45, all of Redbridge Hollow, Old Abingdon Road, were convicted.
Previously they were convicted of a conspiracy to defraud Mr Iliff of benefits, Oxford Crown Court heard.
The defendants were arrested as part of Thames Valley Police's Operation Rague, which related to suspected human exploitation and slavery.
Police said between April 2010 and February 2015 the 52-year-old Mr Iliff lived in a brick shed that was "unfit for human habitation", on the travellers' site.
A spokesperson said he was made to do heavy manual labour, working for more than 12 hours at a time, for which he was paid £5 a day.
Meanwhile, the defendants were collecting his benefits, a total of £139,000 from 2002 to 2015.
Police said Mr Iliff sustained injuries from the work, including dislocating his shoulder five times, and would be beaten if the defendants were unhappy with his work.
When he tried to leave he was threatened or brought back to the site forcibly, the spokesperson added.
Det Insp Mark Glover said: "He was a vulnerable man who had no family or friends that he felt he could turn to, and he felt he had nowhere else to go.
"He was used by the Joyces and Collins for hard manual labour and demeaning tasks such as cleaning up dog mess and tying their shoes.
"I hope that this conviction will demonstrate that treating another person like this will not be tolerated."
Timothy Joyce, 45, who also lived on the site, was jailed last year after he admitted affray, fraud and making a person carry out forced labour.
Mr Smith, who will now sit as an independent councillor, said he was "sick of internal backstabbers who hold minor roles in the party".
He had been selected to fight the South Basildon and East Thurrock seat after ex-Tory MP Neil Hamilton pulled out.
But he had to resign after apologising for offensive remarks he made in a phone call.
Mr Smith said he supported the "general goals" of UKIP, but added that he needed to "walk away" and "get my life back".
Mr Smith is a councillor on both Essex County Council and Basildon District Council.
UKIP hopes to make a serious challenge for the South Basildon and East Thurrock seat in the forthcoming general election, in which it is seeking to win a handful of seats and potentially hold the balance of power.
But Mr Smith's resignation, four days after he was re-adopted as a candidate, capped a week of negative headlines for the party.
Mr Hamilton pulled out of contention for the seat amid questions raised by the party over his expenses while another candidate, Natasha Bolter, withdrew amid an investigation into allegations she made against Roger Bird, whose job is to vet election candidates. Mr Bird denies the allegations.
In a recording obtained by the Mail On Sunday, Mr Smith made offensive remarks about gay people, other UKIP members and Chigwell in Essex.
Following his resignation on Sunday, Mr Smith said in a statement: "I want the best for South Basildon and Thurrock and I want to see the real issues discussed that touch the lives of people.
"Therefore I have chosen to resign so that UKIP can win this seat next May."
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said Mr Smith resigned "by mutual consent", and described his behaviour as "loutish and wholly inappropriate".
He said UKIP had had "great difficulty" with the Basildon selection, adding: "The party has got to grip this and sort it out, in short order".
Mr Farage also said UKIP's national executive committee had the power to impose a candidate if it wanted.
Mr Smith stood for UKIP in the Basildon seat in 2010, where he came fourth behind the Conservatives, Labour and the Lib Dems.
But the party now regards the seat as one that it could possibly win and the selection process is now likely to be re-opened.
However, they could not say whether polonium poisoning had caused his death in 2004.
Their report concluded that Arafat's remains showed levels of polonium 18 times higher than normal.
Arafat's widow, Suha, has reaffirmed to the BBC her belief that their report proves he was assassinated.
But she said she could not directly accuse anyone, saying that he had many enemies around the world.
By Rebecca MorelleScience reporter, BBC World Service
The Swiss scientists were extremely cautious about their findings.
Testing for polonium 210 so many years after Yasser Arafat's death is fraught with difficulties.
It is a very unstable element, with a half-life of 138 days.
That means after four months, the amount of polonium in a sample would have halved; after a year there would be just one eighth of the original amount; and after the eight years since Mr Arafat died, there would be a vanishingly small fraction remaining.
This adds huge levels of uncertainty to any findings - as does the fact that polonium is also found naturally in the soil and air.
Many Palestinians have long believed that Israel poisoned Arafat. There have also been allegations that he had Aids or cancer. Israel has consistently denied any involvement.
The scientists - from the Vaudois University Hospital Centre (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland - had carried out a detailed examination of Arafat's medical records, samples taken from his remains and items he had taken into the hospital in Paris where he died in 2004.
The biological materials included pieces of Mr Arafat's bones and soil samples from around his corpse.
Professor Francois Bochud told a news conference on Thursday that the high level of polonium detected "by definition... indicates third party involvement... Our results offer moderate backing for the theory of poisoning."
But he went on to say: "Was polonium the cause of the death for certain? The answer is no, we cannot show categorically that hypothesis that the poisoning caused was this or that."
Q&A: Exhumation of Yasser Arafat
In their report, the scientists had stressed that they had been unable to reach a more definitive conclusion because of the time that had lapsed since Arafat's death, the limited samples available and the confused "chain of custody" of some of the specimens.
Polonium-210 is a highly radioactive substance. It is found naturally in low doses in food and in the body, but can be fatal if ingested in high doses.
Arafat, who led the Palestine Liberation Organisation for 35 years and became the first president of the Palestinian Authority in 1996, fell violently ill in October 2004 at his compound in the West Bank.
Two weeks later he was flown to a French military hospital in Paris, where he died on 11 November 2004, aged 75.
His official medical records say he died from a stroke resulting from a blood disorder.
France began a murder inquiry in August 2012 after the preliminary findings of polonium by the Lausanne scientists, who have been working with an al-Jazeera documentary crew.
What is polonium-210?
Parallel investigations are being carried out by French and Russian experts - one Russian official said last month that no traces of polonium had been found.
Suha Arafat, who had objected to a post-mortem at the time of his death, agreed for his body to be exhumed a year ago "to reveal the truth".
Welcoming the Swiss report, Mrs Arafat said she had no doubt that her husband had been assassinated but refused to point the finger at Israel.
"I can't accuse anybody. Everybody wants to accuse Israel - I can't accuse - I can't jump into conclusion," she told the BBC.
"Now the case is in the French jurisdiction, I wanted to document this crime - this crime I want it documented for history, actually."
The congregation at Abronhill Parish Church in Cumbernauld were told that Jim and Ann McQuire were thought to have died in the shooting in Sousse.
Another couple, Billy and Lisa Graham, from Perth, are also among those missing.
It is thought that more than 30 of the 38 holidaymakers killed in the beach massacre were British.
A Tunisian student linked to Islamic State (IS) extremists carried out the gun attack in Sousse.
Tunisia's PM Habib Essid has said the majority of the dead were British.
Mr and Mrs McQuire had only booked their holiday a fortnight before leaving.
The couple, from Cumbernauld, were heavily involved with the Church of Scotland at Abronhill.
Relatives of the couple told the local minister that the authorities were "99.9% sure" Mr and Mrs McQuire were dead, although official Foreign Office confirmation had not been received.
The McQuires had recently retired and had been talking about their Tunisian holiday when they attended church on the Sunday before they left.
Mr McQuire - a captain with the Boys Brigade - had been due to attend a Royal Garden Party at Edinburgh on his return.
Fellow officer and friend of 40-years Andrew Eadie was preparing to attend the event with him.
He said: "I can't make sense of it, I just can't understand the logic of what they have done.
"I understand that there are freedom fighters and there's people trying to make a point but there must be other ways than doing what they've done."
Prayers for the couple were said at the regular Sunday morning service, which was attended by relatives and friends.
Minister Joyce Keyes said: "I don't think I can make any sense of it at all. My feeling is of numbness.
"They were regular holiday goers since their retirement and were really looking forward to it."
The couple have a son, Stuart, who lives in the town, and Mr McQuire has two sisters who are both members of the congregation.
Holly Graham, from Perth, has said she is desperately worried about her parents Billy and Lisa, but has struggled to find out what is happening from tour operator Thomson or the Foreign Office.
The couple had been staying at one of the hotels attacked in Sousse.
She said: "Thomson are like they're just reading off a piece of paper. I've had friends phoning on my behalf of me because you can imagine I'm a little bit of an emotional wreck at the moment.
"They said the same - it's like they're just reading off a piece of paper that they've been given to tell people.
"Foreign Office - they just tell you that they've got no information, they'll phone you when they do. They didn't even tell you what they're doing to try to find people."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has chaired a further Scottish government resilience (SGORR) meeting following the terrorist attack in Sousse.
Ms Sturgeon said: "I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathies to everyone who may have lost a loved one in this attack. We are prepared for the possibility that there may be Scottish victims among those who have lost their lives, but we have not yet received official confirmation of this.
"The threat level for the UK remains at severe and counter terrorism measures are in place to respond to this. The advice from Police Scotland is to stay vigilant and alert."
The Foreign Office have not named any of the victims of the shooting, although they have confirmed they believe at least 15 of them are British.
The 20-year-old made his first-class debut against the touring Pakistan side in July and featured in all three formats for the Hove side this year.
Wales-born Salt, who came through Sussex's academy, will remain at the club until the end of the 2017 season.
"With a good winter under his belt, he could develop into a dynamic match-winner for Sussex," head coach Mark Davis said.
The 59-year-old told BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz she was "so happy" a number of new titles cover the topics.
One of these, 12 Years a Slave, moved her to tears during the interview.
Asked if some of the challenges and criticisms faced by President Barack Obama were down to the colour of his skin, she said: "There's no question."
Winfrey has a starring role in The Butler, which recounts the life of an African American man who grows up on a cotton plantation.
Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) goes on to witness the Civil Rights struggle as he serves under a succession of US presidents. Winfrey takes the role of his wife Gloria.
"I think everything has its time and I'm so happy for this time," said Winfrey. "The fact that all of them are happening this year is really, really exciting.
"People are ready to hear it," she added, recalling that her 1998 film Beloved, which also addressed America's slave-owning past, was met with a cool reception - including from African American journalists.
Winfrey became visibly emotional during the interview when referring to harrowing scenes in Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave. "It's impossible for me to talk about it," she said. "I can't even talk about it. Devastating."
She also feels The Butler has an important role. "I recognise the importance of knowing who you are and where you come from.
"I thought it was an important story for our time and particularly for young people who won't read the history."
The media mogul said she had been lucky to be born in 1954 and never to have attended a racially segregated school in her native Mississippi.
"If I'd been born five years earlier, none, not any of the benefits that I've been blessed to be successful with would have occurred," she said.
She recalled an incident in 2009 when Mr Obama was giving a speech to Congress, and Republican congressman Joe Wilson called out "you lie".
"Remember that?" she said. "I think there's a level of disrespect for the office that occurs.
"And that occurs in some cases, and maybe even many cases, because he's African American. There's no question about that. And it's the kind of thing no one ever says, but everybody's thinking it."
Winfrey, who is making a return to the screen in Lee Daniels' film, also revealed that acting was her greatest joy.
"It gives me the kind of pleasure that I can't get from anything else, because I get to leave the business of being Oprah. For so many years, I was just Oprah."
Daniels, she went on, had tried to lure her back into film with a role which went against type - playing a child serial killer.
"I said to him, 'I don't think so. Not only am I not going to do this script, I don't even want you to send me anything like this.'"
Winfrey added that she and the film-maker had "major arguments" about her character in The Butler, and that she had fought to ensure she did not appear nude or swear.
The Butler is out in the UK and Ireland on 15 November.
Stuart Burke, who led the Milton Keynes licensing committee, will be on a group that holds the council to account.
Subhan Shafiq, who resigned as mayor because he vouched for the driver, will be on two committees.
Their party, the Liberal Democrats, said it must be "proportionate".
It emerged last month Nadeem Ahmed Kiani, who raped and sexually abused prostitutes in London in 1994, was granted a private hire taxi licence in 2011.
Terry Baines from the Fishermead Residents Association said the Liberal Democrat group on Milton Keynes Council had shown "contempt" for residents and the leader should "get rid of them as councillors".
"When is [Liberal Democrat leader Douglas McCall] going to grow a spine and look after the people of Milton Keynes?" he asked.
Mr McCall said the councillors had "made decisions that we have difficulty understanding" but the party had to "be proportionate".
"We need to remember they haven't broken any law, they haven't broken any rules of the council," he said.
Kiani's taxi licence was suspended in 2012 when Thames Valley Police revealed details of the offences to the council - but the suspension was lifted in the same year.
In March, he was given a hackney carriage licence by a council officer.
Last month, an investigation resulted in both of Mr Kiani's licences being revoked and the resignations of Mr Shafiq, licensing committee chairman Mr Burke and deputy chairman, Gladstone McKenzie.
Mr Burke will now sit on the overview and scrutiny committee, while Mr Shafiq will join the health scrutiny and joint negotiating committees.
Mr McKenzie will not take up a new role.
An ongoing council investigation into taxi licensing has found seven other drivers in the city have criminal convictions.
One member said the grief "never, ever goes away".
But what does grief look like if you were never given the opportunity to get to know your loved one?
In Portadown, County Armagh, there is a special place, known as the Baby Garden.
Within Kernan Cemetery, it allows bereaved mums and dads a place to go to pay tribute to their babies, some of whom have no graves.
There are about 60 stones in the garden, of all shapes and sizes, each bearing the name of a son or daughter who died before, or shortly after, being born.
Stephen Guy is a co-ordinator for the stillborn and neo-natal death charity, Sands in Northern Ireland. He and his wife experienced the loss of a baby almost 23 years ago, when their daughter Danielle was stillborn.
He said: "The garden helps parents to feel that their child is not alone, their stone is surrounded by lots of other little stones belonging to other babies.
"It's a place where parents can go any time they want to feel close to their child - and the garden has a remarkable effect on people.
"Sometimes I feel as though it may have lost its impact on me and then I hear the stories of parents who have laid stones and I remember how important it is."
Jeanette's first son, Scott, was stillborn, and his brother Adam, died at just three days old. There is a stone in the garden for each of them.
"I fell pregnant with Adam fairly quickly after losing Scott, and when he passed away I couldn't believe it was happening again.
"I felt a huge sense of guilt, loss and heartbreak.
"That was almost 16 years ago - yet it is still difficult to talk about.
"It is coming up to the anniversaries and Christmas time is always hard.
"I have a 14-year-old daughter called Jessica and I always feel sad that she has missed out on growing up without her two brothers.
"Sands were a great help to us and although Scott and Adam both have graves that I can visit, I like the idea that their stones are surrounded by lots of other little babies just like them and they aren't alone."
The boys' stones are small and flat and bear their names and dates of birth.
Key statistics on stillbirth and neonatal deaths
Suzi is yet to lay a stone for her son Eli, who was stillborn in July.
She visited the garden on Sunday and said she felt "at home" when she walked through the gates.
"We found out at 21 weeks that Eli was sick, he was stillborn at 31 weeks.
"I felt, and still do feel numb, I have come home from the hospital with empty arms and don't know what to do with myself.
"I couldn't face burying Eli, so we had him cremated, but now that I've visited the baby garden I know that's where I want to remember him."
Suzi is having a stone made for Eli, with his name, date of birth and weight.
One of the mothers who has found comfort in the Baby Garden is Sarah. She lost her baby, Grace, 14 weeks into her pregnancy in February 2015.
"I had already bought a comforter to bring her home from the hospital and was so excited to have her," Sarah said.
"After I lost her I was not thinking straight - I remember thinking that if I didn't say it out loud, it wouldn't be real.
"I wished I had been able to protect her and convinced myself I could have done more.
"When I eventually did make contact with Sands, it was like opening the flood gates - the pain of grief was excruciating."
Grace's stone came from a beach that meant a lot to her mum - it has her name and some painted flowers.
"I go to the Baby Garden as often as I can - it is the only place where there is any physical sign that Grace ever existed and it is incredibly important to me."

Scot Reid, 24, recovered from 3-0 down in the second set against the Frenchman to win 6-3 6-4 in Paris.
Australian Open champion Reid, the world number four, will face Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez, the world number six, in Saturday's final.
"It feels like I've got the monkey off my back at the Slams. I can play my own game," Reid told BBC Sport.
"It means a lot to get to the final again. I'm really enjoying these matches and I'm looking forward to Saturday."
Reid and partner Shingo Kunieda of Japan are also in the doubles final and will be bidding to retain the title they won last year.
However, Jordanne Whiley missed out on making it two Britons in the singles finals after she lost 3-6 6-1 4-6 in the women's semi-finals.
Whiley had beaten world number one and defending champion Jiske Griffioen in her opening match but found Sabine Ellerbrock of Germany too strong.
Ellerbrock, ranked one place below the Briton at five in the world, will play Marjolein Buis of the Netherlands in the final.
Whiley does have a chance of success when she partners Yui Kamiji in the doubles final.
Villa have put together a six-match unbeaten league run since Bruce took over at the Championship side on 12 October.
It is the longest sequence without a league defeat since Martin O'Neill's final season in charge in 2009-10.
"You can see the fans are now going home delighted," Bruce told BBC WM.
"I've heard that phrase about playing as a team being used. Whatever's been going on for the last 18 months, two years or whatever it is, we've had to turn it round.
"But the fans can now see their team playing with a little bit of pride to play for the jersey. That's what any supporter wants."
Bruce labelled last Friday night's 1-1 draw at second-placed Brighton "the best performance I've seen since I've been here".
He added: "You can't come to places like Brighton and play like that if you're not a team."
Although Bruce's Villa are still to make a significant move up the table, having only risen to 16th from 19th when he took over, they are now within five points of the play-off zone - and just six points behind his old club Birmingham City, in fifth.
Ahead of Saturday's home game with Neil Warnock's improving 21st-placed Cardiff City, Villa are already as high as fourth favourites to win promotion with leading bookmakers.
Her visit was cancelled on Wednesday by administrators citing "active security threats", but Republican students said it was an attack on free speech.
UC Berkeley officials later said the speech would be held on 2 May at an "appropriate, protectable venue".
But she plans to speak on the original date, despite the decision.
"Maybe they will arrest me", she said in an email to Reuters.
The campus Republican group have threatened to sue the university over the change of date.
The campus has been the scene of several violent protests in recent months.
Ms Coulter - author of In Trump We Trust - said the school, which gained prominence in the 1960s as the bastion of the so-called Free Speech Movement, had violated her rights.
Speaking on Fox News, Ms Coulter urged US Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate the matter because she had been "unconstitutionally banned" from speaking.
She said the university had proposed several rule changes, and she had "called their bluff" by agreeing to the conditions.
According to the Republican group sponsoring the event, the Young America's Foundation (YAF), the university required Ms Coulter speak in the afternoon, only allow students to attend, and announce the location of the speech close to the time of the event.
"Even after Coulter went along with their ruses and guises to shut down her speech, they simply announced, like Kim Jung Un, that it was cancelled," the YAF said.
Last February, a speech by British conservative writer Milo Yiannopoulos was cancelled due to widespread protests on campus.
After that incident, in which masked anarchist protesters vandalised property both on campus and in downtown Berkeley, President Donald Trump responded.
He tweeted: "If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS?"
Demonstrators caused over $100,000 (£78,000) in damage, and Mr Yiannopoulos had to be evacuated from campus in a bullet-proof jacket.
Last weekend, while thousands of people across the US marched to call upon the president to release his tax returns, brawling broke in Berkeley between right- and left-wing protesters.
More than 20 demonstrators were arrested.
The white supremacist grateful for Donald Trump
Berkeley is not the only American university to face protests against conservative speakers.
On Tuesday night in Alabama, hundreds of students protested against a speech by white supremacist leader Richard Spencer.
Auburn University had sought to cancel the speaking event, but a federal judge forced the speech to proceed.
Jason Gates, 36, who was reported missing on 17 March, was seen in Aviemore and then near Drumnadrochit at Loch Ness.
The latest searches follow earlier efforts involving police, the RNLI and coastguard.
It is believed Mr Gates' dog was found last week near Drumnadrochit.
The dog was taken into the care of Police Scotland after it was involved in an incident at a farm near the village in which three sheep died.
Local residents and visitors to Drumnadrochit and the surrounding area have been asked to look out for Mr Gates.
Ch Insp Jennifer MacDonald said: "Although no public searches are being organised at this time, we would like to thank the public for their support to date and would appeal to local residents in the area to check outbuildings, sheds and holiday homes in case Jason has taken shelter locally.
"Also, we know the area is popular with walkers and would ask that anything that may assist the search effort is reported to police, even if it seems insignificant."
Mr Gates is described as being about 6ft 3in tall, of slim build, with short, cropped, greying hair and stubble.
It is not known what clothes he was wearing, but police said he was known to often wear black jeans, a T-shirt, a black padded jacket or a tweed jacket.
The people inside the house included an 11-month-old baby.
Just after 23:30 BST on Monday, masked men threw paint bombs at the house in Bloomfield Court.
Bricks were also thrown through two windows, one at the front and one at the rear. The police have appealed for information.
The Minton archive, which contains hundreds of designs, drawings and patterns from famous Victorian designers - including Augustus Pugin - had been put up for sale by its former owners Waterford Wedgwood.
However, the Art Fund, a national charity, led a campaign to raise the money to keep it in the city.
The fund said it was "delighted".
It said it had been trying to protect the archive from sale at auction and "piecemeal dispersal" since it was first put up for sale in 2007.
It agreed a price with the archive's current owners, the Waterford Wedgwood Royal Doulton company, which said it was "delighted" the archive would remain in Staffordshire.
Minton was a ceramics company which merged with Royal Doulton after World War Two.
The archive will now be catalogued and parts of it put on display at the Wedgwood Museum and the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke.
Stephen Deuchar, director of the Art Fund, said: "For years, the Art Fund has fought to protect the Minton Archive, keeping it in its rightful place in Staffordshire, and bringing it into safe public ownership.
"We're delighted that an archive that incorporates major works of art amidst a treasure trove of industrial history has finally been saved for the nation."
Charlie Stewart, from Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: "The archive gives us a direct insight into the lives of Stoke-on-Trent people in the 19th and 20th centuries and is a priceless window into the city's industrial heritage."
Brendan Rodgers, Tim Sherwood, Dick Advocaat and Jose Mourinho were replaced in the Premier League, while 10 Championship managers were fired.
The 29 dismissals across the 92 Football League clubs between 1 June and 31 December 2015 is the most ever at this stage of the season.
The highest number for a single season is 53, in the 2001-02 season.
"We must continue to shine a light on this issue," said League Managers' Association (LMA) chief executive Richard Bevan.
"With the hire-and-fire culture engrained within football, it's so difficult to survive for any meaningful length of time in order to learn your trade, learn from mistakes and experiences. Managers must cope with instant judgements and, often, success and failure are rarely that far apart."
The tally of 29 dismissals at this stage of the campaign is two more than the previous high set in the 2014-15 season.
There have been five further managerial moves in January, with Steve Cotterill,Ian Hendon and Mark Robins all losing their jobs in the past four days.
See a table of all of the managers in England and Scotland here.
A statement from the LMA said: "If the trend continues, we are on course to exceed the highest number of dismissals in one season over the past 10 years."
The managers dismissed so far this season had held their job for an average of only 1.58 years, and eight of the 29 were first-time managers.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger remains the longest-serving current manager at 19.26 years, with Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale in second place on 9.52 years.
"Professional football is the ultimate results-driven business, with owners, boards and supporters' expectation levels going up and up year on year," added Bevan.
"Boards need to take a step back and look at their league position compared to resources, squad, stadium capacity, attendances, and compare themselves with other similar clubs."
More than 15,000 earthquakes are recorded in the South Pacific nation each year, but only about 150 are large enough to be felt.
The 7.1 quake sparked a tsunami warning and reportedly caused some damage to property but no injuries.
It is a far cry to the magnitude 6.3 quake that struck Christchurch in February 2011, killing 185 people.
In Christchurch today, a white powdery compound, a cathedral made of cardboard and a hangar-like laboratory where earthquakes are created are all part of New Zealand's response to that catastrophe five-and-a-half years ago.
The commercial hub of the South Island sits to the east of the Alpine fault that snakes beneath the Southern Alps. But the tremor that left much of central Christchurch in ruins came from a previously unknown perpendicular fault that sent a devastating seismic wave through the ground.
As disaster struck, 115 people - more than half of the earthquake's victims - died in a single office block, the Canterbury Television (CTV) Building.
Its crumpled shell has become a defining image of one of New Zealand's worst natural disasters.
Academics, architects, the government and the construction industry are all striving to make buildings safer places to work, study and live.
"Our dream is to have a society that is much more resilient to this, and we're much better prepared and we suffer much less," explains Geoff Rodgers, from the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Canterbury.
We're in the new structural engineering laboratory on the campus a short drive from the city centre. It is huge.
In one corner of this cavernous space, mighty concrete barriers have been erected that will feel the force of simulated earthquakes, along with large-scale tests on internal steel beams and joints that make up a building's skeleton.
Geoff and his team talk of damping devices and energy dissipators - engineering terms for techniques that will help industrial and commercial premises absorb and repel the worst effects of damaging tremors, while steel-framed buildings would rock and sway but not give way.
Then there is what's called base isolation, where a large office block can mostly stand firm while the earth underneath moves.
"We'll be creating earthquakes on structures of small size, of big size and we'll be pushing them backwards and forwards, high speed, low speed to simulate all the aspects of the behaviour of a structure in a real earthquake," says associate professor Greg MacRae.
He shows me how special steel beams are being tested to see if they can safely slide and shift under pressure rather buckle and break.
"What we are doing is providing a special friction connection here so that as the building moves the beam rotates, and instead of buckling and twisting and having to be thrown away after an earthquake like we have with traditional construction, the friction just means that we get sliding on some surfaces.
"So the beam is actually okay, the plates should be okay and if something does need to be replaced it is just the bolts," he tells the BBC.
Thousands of suburban homes were also left uninhabitable following the 2011 quake in New Zealand's second biggest city.
Timber frames and brick cladding have long been the staple of Kiwi residential building but architect Dean Buckeridge is crafting houses to better withstand earthquakes. The key ingredient is magnesium oxide, a white powdery compound.
"It is reinforced with fibreglass, bonded either side of a polystyrene core and that makes it extremely strong. It has the right balance of rigidity and elasticity so that it is able to withstand the earthquake shocks," he explains, outside a single-storey property he recently built.
"We have used the lessons in this house to completely re-evaluate the way we design and build," he says. "We've got houses now that we are offering that are going to be cheaper to build and will have almost no running costs in terms of electricity."
This warm, well-insulated new home is owned by Janet and Jeff Norton, an expatriate couple from the UK.
"It was obviously a very different thing to come to a country where earthquakes are almost part of everyday life. I have felt a few rumbles. I'm extremely pleased to be in this house and I don't think we could be in a better place to be honest with you," says Janet.
I ask her husband how safe he would feel if a major earthquake were to occur.
"The amount of engineering that has gone into this house is way over what I have experienced in the past so this house is very, very durable and it will literally be one of the last houses standing," he tells me.
In the centre of Christchurch the multi-billion dollar reconstruction continues, and near the CTV site, rising skywards there is a beacon of hope, and durability.
It's quite possibly the world's newest cathedral and the only one made of cardboard that was built as a temporary replacement for the city's badly damaged Anglican Cathedral, which remains wounded and mostly untouched.
Inside the giant A-framed church built of recycled cardboard (and bolstered by laminated timber and reinforced steel) rows of pews face a large cross, which is, naturally, fashioned from cardboard.
"It is a wonderfully light space, an airy space. It has got this sort of lovely almost Zen Buddhist feel to it," says the Very Reverend Lawrence Kimberley, the Dean of the Christchurch Transitional Cathedral.
"Earlier this year on 14 February we had another strongish aftershock. You could barely tell that anything had happened when you're in here and most people felt so safe they didn't want to get out and they just carried on doing their thing. So it feels safe and it is a safe building," he says.
Christchurch's response to disaster will help others in earthquake-prone regions - including those in central Italy still coming to terms with last month's catastrophe - not only recover from tragedy, but be more resilient in the future.
Harambe, a 17-year-old endangered western lowland gorilla, was shot dead after he started dragging the boy.
Police said they were investigating the actions of the boy's parents leading up to his fall.
On Wednesday, they also released a recording of the call the boy's mother made to police.
In it, she is heard crying: "He's dragging my son...I can't watch this." She repeatedly shouts "be calm" at the boy.
In a statement on Wednesday, the boy's family thanked zoo staff "for their actions taken to protect our child".
They also asked that any donations be made to the zoo in Harambe's name. The zoo has suggested donations would go towards a gorilla conservation project in the Congo.
The online reaction to Harambe's death
The zoo says it had no choice but to kill the gorilla, and has defended its safety measures around the enclosure.
But animal activists have accused the zoo of negligence.
Stop Animal Exploitation Now, a Cincinnati-based animal rights group, said it had filed a federal complaint against the zoo with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The parents of the boy, who suffered minor injuries in the incident, have also faced heavy criticism on social media.
Video footage showed the boy being dragged through shallow water by the animal in Saturday's incident. Zookeepers shot Harambe soon afterwards.
The zoo maintains it had no choice but to shoot the gorilla as tranquilisers would not have worked in time to save the boy.
It also said its Gorilla World exhibit was safe and exceeded required protocols.
But Michael Budkie, of Stop Animal Exploitation Now, said the USDA should fine the zoo for having an exhibit that the public could access.
"What happened this weekend made it very clear that the physical barriers at the Cincinnati Zoo are not adequate to keep people out of the enclosures, obviously," he said, adding that the enclosure was reported to be over 30 years old.
He also said the zoo had been criticised back in March after two polar bears were able to wander out of their pen into a service hallway.

Conservative Ben Gummer, said the plan would open up 20 acres of disused land and cost up to £80m.
It would see a fixed bridge and a swing bridge linking the town with an island site on the waterfront.
Mr Gummer, who is campaigning for the scheme with business and council leaders, said: "This is critical to the future of our town."
He said he would ask the government to fund the crossings across the River Orwell to the island.
Island owner Associated British Ports (ABP), the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, Suffolk County Council and University Campus Suffolk are backing the plan.
Mr Gummer said work around the waterfront had stalled due to the economic downturn, but the area was now becoming a "centre of excellence" for high-tech industries and services.
"We need to make room for further high-quality development if more jobs are to be created," he said.
"The construction of the wet dock crossing would unleash the island site's significant economic potential creating the circumstances for Ipswich's own Enterprise Island."
A large part of the 20-acre (8 ha) island site, which has limited access, is currently used as a lorry park.
Andrew Harston, from ABP, said: "A new crossing and increasing development on the island site would be a significant enhancement to Ipswich."
Two options are being proposed for the bridge crossings. The first would see three bridges built at an estimated cost of £78m, while the second involves two crossings costing £60m.
Mr Gummer said the project would take between 15 and 20 years to complete but hoped one of the bridges would be built within the next five years.
Edwin McLaren, 52, was convicted last month of property fraud totalling £1.6m after what is believed to be the longest trial in UK criminal history.
The trial, which started in September 2015 at the High Court in Glasgow, heard 320 days of evidence
McLaren, from Quarriers Village in Inverclyde, was convicted of 29 charges and his wife Lorraine of two.
She was sentenced to two and a half years in prison.
During the trial, Edwin McLaren was described as the "brains behind the scheme".
Two found guilty of fraud after UK's longest criminal trial
The frauds, which took place between April 2008 and November 2012, came to light when a woman in Fife claimed she had not been paid the full amount that she was promised for the sale of her house in Cowdenbeath.
During a two-year police inquiry, 48 properties were investigated under a property fraud scheme where the owner's title deeds were transferred without their knowledge.
Twenty-nine cases made it on to the indictment in court, involving properties throughout Scotland.
The case was described by police "one of the largest, most complicated property fraud investigations ever carried out in Scotland".
The operation was run by Edwin McLaren who targeted people under financial pressure, often after placing adverts in newspapers for two companies - Property Solutions and Homesale Solutions.
McLaren, who would often use a false name, would tell his victims he would sort out their financial difficulties, usually in the form of a loan or leaseback agreement.
They thought they were releasing equity from their homes but McLaren had them sign paperwork which transferred full ownership of their property.
Police said his clients were usually completely unaware they had signed away their houses until they were approached by officers.
The property was never transferred to him - instead he used family members and friends.
He also raised mortgages against the properties.
Some witnesses said they were not only in financial difficulty but also unwell or bereaved.
In the case of one couple McLaren turned up at the Beatson Cancer Centre in Glasgow to get a document signed.
The homeowner said he was so weakened by his cancer treatment he did not even know what the document was.
It turned out that he and his wife were signing over their house.
Lorraine McLaren told the court it was her husband who ran that side of their property business and that she signed the documents when he asked her to.
No lawyers who were involved in the transactions were prosecuted as they were used as witnesses in the trial.
The details of the trial of Edwin and Lorraine McLaren are remarkable.
Over the course of 20 months, the jury was reduced from the original 15 for a Scottish criminal trial to 12, the lowest number it can operate on.
There were concerns that if they had lost another juror the case would have collapsed.
The jurors had to listen to 320 days of evidence, sparking critics to question whether juries should be used in complex fraud cases.
The cost of the trial is thought to have been about £7.5m, with more than £2.4m in legal aid paid for defence lawyers.
During the trial the court had to halt for three weeks after one juror got married, while others were off sick or took holidays.
It was also the first time in Scotland that evidence was led from the house of a witness who was too ill to attend court.
The house was set up as a court with all the legal trappings needed for her to give evidence.
In an unusual step, judge Lord Stewart used a computer slideshow presentation to sum up the case for the jury.
The judge officially retired from the bench on his 70th birthday in December 2016 but was able to continue hearing the case under the provisions of the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993.
The folk rockers recorded 81,300 chart sales with Wilder Mind, their third studio album.
The singles chart saw reggae artist Omi stay at number one with Cheerleader.
Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's See You Again and Carly Rae Jepson's I Really Like You were also non-movers, at two and three respectively.
Bristol-based deep house duo Blonde scored this week's highest new entry with All Cried Out, featuring Alex Newell, at four.
This week's top five is completed by Lean On by Major Lazer featuring Mo and DJ Snake.
In the album chart, the top five sees Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and Sia return with In the Lonely Hour, X and 1,000 Forms of Fear respectively.
The next highest new entry is found outside the top 10, with grime artist JME debuting at 12 with his third studio album Integrity.

Danielle McLaughlin's body was discovered in an isolated spot close to tourist resorts in Canacona on Tuesday.
Ms McLaughlin, who was 28, and grew up in Buncrana, County Donegal, suffered injuries on her face and head.
Police are treating her death as murder. A post-mortem examination has taken place to establish if she was sexually assaulted.
Police said a 24-year-old man has been arrested and remains in custody.
Ms McLaughlin, who had dual Irish and British citizenship and had lived in Liverpool, travelled to India using a British passport.
'Happy-go-lucky person'
Suresh Velip, head constable at Goa Police, said Ms McLaughlin's body was found in a remote area near Deobagh Beach in Canacona on Tuesday morning.
He said a post-mortem examination had been carried out. Details of the findings have not been made public.
Fr Francis Bradley from St Mary's Church in Buncrana, who visited the McLaughlin family on Wednesday morning, described the death as an "immense loss".
"Her family are understandably distraught at what has happened," Fr Bradley told BBC Radio Foyle.
"They are a family who have suffered a lot of loss over the last number of years, her mother in particular.
"The loss is immense and the circumstances of that death, the distance between where it happened and where the family are, adds to the difficulty that the family feel at this time."
Fr Bradley described Ms McLaughlin as a "happy-go-lucky" girl who loved to travel.
"I met the young lady in question a few months ago at the time that her grandfather was gravely ill and she was very close to her grandfather, who subsequently died.
"She seemed a happy go-lucky, friendly, quiet girl.
"To find that there could be malice or something very sinister involved in the way in which someone died is particularly disturbing and has its own challenge that we, as a community, will have to face," he added.
Ms McLaughlin went to Buncrana's Irish language school, Scoil Mhuire.
The school principal, Rosaleen Grant, said teachers and pupils alike were "just utterly shattered and devastated".
"She was a very confident, sociable, outgoing girl of a very caring nature," said Ms Grant.
"A number of the staff would have known her really well, so it's just the sense of loss and the fact she's so far from home makes it so tragic.
"She loved taking part in school musicals, she did Irish dancing, she was involved in sports and athletics. She was just an all-rounder really."
Liverpool John Moores University said it was "shocked and saddened" to hear of the death of one of its former students.
Michael Safi, the Guardian's South Asia correspondent, said a candlelit vigil has been held in Goa, close to the spot where Ms McLaughlin was found.
"The murder has left people "absolutely shocked," he told the BBC.
"This is not the first crime to occur of this nature in Goa. The place is a big tourist engine for India. For the locals, there was concern this could impact very badly on their little slice of paradise.
"Many locals gathered with tourists at the nearby police station in order to put pressure on police to ensure people are watched and to get this case investigated thoroughly."
The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed it was in close contact with the British consulate.
"The Irish Embassy is liaising closely with the British authorities and an Irish consular official is travelling from New Delhi to Goa today," said a spokesperson.
The Foreign Office said they are liaising closely with Indian police.
"We are supporting the family of a British-Irish woman following her death in Goa, India. Our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time," a spokesman said.
Last year, an Indian court cleared two men of raping and killing British teenager Scarlett Keeling.
The 15-year-old was found dead on Goa's popular Anjuna beach in 2008, having drowned after allegedly being plied with drugs.
Miss Keeling's mother said her heart sank after hearing of Ms McLaughlin's death.
"It is horrific," Fiona MacKeown said. "My heart breaks for her family and friends.
"I know what they are going through."
Much of the tension has focused on the al-Aqsa mosque compound, a hugely important site in Islam and Judaism.
The militant Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas had called for a "day of rage" over al-Aqsa.
Palestinians have also been angered by Israeli plans that could allow police to open fire on stone-throwers.
An Israeli motorist died earlier in the week in an accident apparently caused by a rock-throwing attack in Jerusalem.
Several security incidents were reported on Friday:
The al-Aqsa mosque compound itself was reported to be quiet on Friday. Israeli police set up checkpoints outside the site, limiting the age of worshippers to 40 and above for men.
The compound - known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif - is the holiest site in Judaism, and contains the al-Aqsa Mosque - the third holiest site in Islam.
Tensions have been running high in Jerusalem since Israel banned two Muslim groups which confront Jewish visitors to the compound.
But there have been a number of other accidents during aerial displays in the UK over the last decade - including a further two at the Shoreham show.
August 2015 - CarFest
Pilot Kevin Whyman, 39, was killed when his Folland Gnat aircraft crashed during an aerial display at the CarFest event in Cheshire.
The plane nosedived during the display, before disappearing behind trees. Moments later a plume of thick black smoke was seen.
July 2014 - Royal Navy Culdrose Air Day
A Royal Navy Sea Fury crashed onto the runway at the show, with eyewitnesses reporting the aircraft appeared to lose power and made an emergency landing.
Pilot Lieutenant Commander Chris Gotke walked away uninjured.
July 2012 - Old Warden Aerodrome
Trevor Roche, 52, was killed when a 1923 De Havilland DH53 Humming Bird crashed near Biggleswade.
The plane crashed at the back of the airfield while practicing for a display.
A report later found Mr Roche lost control of the aircraft in strong winds.
August 2011 - Bournemouth Air Festival
RAF Red Arrows pilot Flt Lt Jon Egging, 33, died when his Hawk T1 aircraft crashed.
Eyewitnesses described seeing the plane plunge to the ground in a field near the River Stour at Throop village.
It was one of nine Red Arrows aircraft that had earlier taken part in a display over the seafront.
10 July 2011 - Duxford Flying Legends show
Two classic US fighter planes collided during an air display show in Cambridgeshire.
One of the planes plummeted to the ground after their wings touched, forcing the pilot to parachute to safety. The pilot of the other plane, a Skyraider, went on to land safely. No-one was injured.
3 July 2011 - Old Warden airfield
A Bucker Jungmann plane, designed in the 1930s, crashed during a practice in the run-up to a display. The pilot escaped with slight injuries.
September 2010 - Shoreham air show
A pilot survived after a stunt glider crashed into a runway in front of spectators.
September 2007 - Shoreham air show
Brian Brown, an experienced pilot, died when the Hurricane he was flying crashed.
A report found the accident was probably caused by an unplanned manoeuvre.
The report recommended the sequence of manoeuvres should be clearly specified in advance of flying displays.
Between five or ten athletes are expected to make up the final team.
They will use the Olympic flag and the Olympic anthem instead of their own countries flag or national anthem.
Athletes have been able to take part in the Olympic games under the banner of the Olympic flag and have been classed as independent athletes in the past.
Rio 2016 will be the first time that refugees, who have fled their home countries, will be able to compete in this way.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said: "By welcoming the team of refugee Olympic athletes to the Olympic Games Rio 2016, we want to send a message of hope for all refugees in our world.
"Having no national team to belong to, having no flag to march behind, having no national anthem to be played, these refugee athletes will be welcomed to the Olympic Games with the Olympic flag and with the Olympic anthem."
He nearly died from a condition that kills more people in the UK each year than bowel, breast and prostate cancer combined.
Patrick was just nine months old when one morning he became poorly, floppy and "generally unresponsive".
The family GP said he just needed Calpol, but Patrick's mother was still concerned and took him to hospital.
But on the journey things got rapidly worse.
"It really was a sudden thing... upon arrival I had multiple organ failure," he says.
Patrick spent three and a half months in St Mary's hospital in London, lost his right leg below the knee, his left arm and fingers on his right hand.
The 19-year-old is now studying biochemistry at university in Edinburgh.
What he had was sepsis.
"Either you know someone who's had sepsis, or you've never heard of it," Patrick tells the BBC.
Sepsis is triggered by infections, but is actually a problem with our own immune system going into overdrive.
It starts with an infection that can come from anywhere - even a contaminated cut or insect bite.
Normally, your immune system kicks in to fight the infection and stop it spreading.
But if the infection manages to spread quickly round the body, then the immune system will launch a massive immune response to fight it.
This can also be a problem as the immune response can have catastrophic effects on the body, leading to septic shock, organ failure and even death.
In the UK, there are 44,000 deaths from the condition each year.
The UK Sepsis Trust lists six symptoms to be aware of:
Symptoms in young children include:
Patrick says "there's no magic symptom" but people need to be asking "could this be sepsis?"
The NHS is doing more than it used to, but still not enough.
A report in 2015 said four in 10 patients being admitted to accident and emergency units were not being reviewed quickly enough and uncovered delays in giving antibiotics in nearly a third of cases.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence - which advises doctors on best practice - is coming up with new rules.
Prof Gillian Leng, the organisation's deputy chief executive, says: "We know from recent case reviews that there are inconsistencies in how people's symptoms are assessed in different settings.
"More can be done to provide rapid treatment."
The organisation says patients should be assessed rapidly and those with life-threatening sepsis should be treated within one hour.
Previous guidance said doctors and other healthcare staff must treat sepsis with the same urgency as a suspected heart attack.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said there was a "relentless drive" to raise awareness.
Married father-of-two Michael Furniss, 50, shot Andrew Dosiuk three times in the chest as he lay in his bed at his Nottingham home.
In the eight week trial, the prosecution said Furniss was a contract killer but two other men accused of hiring him were cleared.
Furniss was handed a life term with a minimum of 32 years and 11 months.
The judge, Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said: "This was a cold-blooded, brutal murder of a defenceless man, asleep in his bed at home."
The court heard Furniss had a key to Mr Dosiuk's Laneham Avenue house and let himself into the building on several aborted attempts to kill him.
On one occasion the killer called at the house while his victim was taking his eight-year-old son to Alton Towers.
Mr Dosiuk, 33, known as "Dosh", was described in court as leading a double life, one a "fairly normal" social and family life, the other in the "murky and destructive" world of drugs.
He was due to be tried for several drugs offences when he died.
On the morning of 11 November last year, Furniss shot his victim three times as he slept, holding the 9mm pistol so close that blood and DNA was found in the barrel of the gun.
"This was a cold-blooded execution," Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said. "It was fortunate that [his son] was not staying over that night."
After the killing, Furniss hid the gun and burnt his clothes.
He later returned to retrieve the weapon with his work lorry which was equipped with a camera, filming him picking it up and stashing it elsewhere, the court was told.
"The prosecution argued that this was a contract killing and you Furniss clearly shot Andrew Dosiuk in the expectation of getting paid," the judge said.
But because two other men were cleared of any involvement, this could not form part of his sentencing.
Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said there was little to mitigate the case except Furniss' age.
The murder was aggravated by the amount of planning that went in to it, the fact that it was in cold blood and the destruction of evidence afterwards, he said.
The 395 days he has spent on remand were taken into account in the sentence.
But here's why it is important. It is an opportunity to gauge what Chinese leaders may be thinking about the economy, and whether they're as committed to reform as they have said they are.
We are all affected in some shape or form by what goes on in the world's second-largest economy, so keeping abreast of what happens there is important.
And even though most of the decisions at what is effectively Asia's largest political pantomime are pre-determined, it's still worth having a think about some of the big economic priorities for China's leaders.
Especially in a year when the Communist Party is trying to assure its citizens and the world that it is in control of its economic destiny.
So here are four things I'll be watching at the NPC:
• 13th five-year plan: Although details of the plan have actually been around since November, delegates will get a chance to vote on it during the NPC. Don't forget this is all pre-scripted so no-one actually votes against the strategy. High up on the agenda will be cutting industrial over-capacity and high debt levels. The reform of state owned enterprises will also be in the spotlight - but more on that later. Basically the five-year plan is China's vision for itself as it tries to manage the transition from an investment-driven economy into one that's more dependent on services and consumption.
• Economic growth target: Don't look at the target, says Tony Nash of Complete Intelligence. Look at the direction in which the country's growth target is heading and at what pace. That's far more useful than the actual number. We all know China's growth is slowing down - it clocked the lowest growth figure in 25 years (6.9%) recently. But what will be important to look at is the make-up of GDP - are services becoming an increasingly important part of the economy, and if so what does that mean for job-growth?
• Zombie firms: Also known as the "walking dead" these massively debt-laden state-owned firms will be in focus as China looks to clean up the sector. The problem is what to do with the millions of Chinese factory workers who are employed in some of the country's biggest companies. There were reports out earlier this week about 5-6 million jobs would be cut from state-owned enterprises. So expect big support packages, workforce training programmes and a commitment to create new jobs in new sectors.
• Stimulus measures: Markets in China have been rallying this week ahead of the NPC in anticipation that the government will announce further stimulus plans. The stock market in particular has been battered by the slowdown in the economy, but the financial sector has also benefited from billions of dollars being poured into the system. Fraser Howie, China watcher and co-author of "Red Capitalism: The Fragile Financial Foundation of China's Extraordinary Rise", says it's clear "there are aspects of the economy that are clearly out of control - the stock market, and the currency. They're trying to get in control of those things by clamping down on activity - but not embracing the free market which they promised."
So in a nutshell - a lot of long and possibly boring speeches - but some key points to look out for which will give us an indication of where China's economy is heading over the next five years. Well, that's if it all goes to plan at least…
